Re: Stretch XL SE in H2, now I get it!
My bad. The regular K390 Stretch PE, and the K390 SE Delica are on my list. Thanks, Bruce I have the K390 Stretch but definitely fine myself grabbing for the Manix LE MagnaCut more often for some reason. Can’t put my finger on why but I might just like the Manix platform better. Was very tempted by...

Re: Changes to OpFocus Program
Today I tried to sign up for OpFocus Program and I didn’t finish the application because at some point ID.me asked to provide my social security number. I thought this is ridiculous, why do I have to give my ssn in order to complete my application? Members of OpFocus please let me know if you had t...

Re: Tri-Angle™ Stones Cubic Boron Nitride or Tri-Angle™ Stones Diamond?
CBN or Diamond is not more aggressive than the brown stone included. They are made to cut harder steels like 15V or Manix that the normal brown and white rods can’t effectively sharpen. ... Not an expert, but I am not sure I understand - ? Perhaps the term "aggressive" can be interpreted ...

Re: Could we see a Rex-121 mule?
Just got some great new scales so of course I need a new mule to put it on. This could be awesome, maybe not the best steel for a fixed blade but an awesome steel.
I am also curious about the rumored MagnaTough steel.

Generally the Sharpmaker is great at maintaining an already sharp knife. If you are looking to reprofile or fix a ...

Re: A new spin on "HIC dropping soon"
On the good side you now don’t need to worry about hurting a $150 knife, already beat up. I say use the **** out of what’s left of it, push it hard and see where the limitations are. If you don’t I am sure someone else would want to without the fear of messing it up.

Re: H1 Fixed blades
That would just be something awesome to see, a 6+ inch fixed H-2 SE fixed blade. Talk about a hard use knife.

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
Just got my Pacific Salt 2 SE from BHQ. Very happy I jumped on it, that is a ton of awesome knife for $40. The deepest discount of the sale I think at 69% off MSRP. Did it end up being H1 or H2 steel? It was H2 with silver non coated hardware. They had a black coated back lock shown in the picture....

Re: Flattening Whestones
I will use double sided tape to stick sand paper to a glass plate with good results. I also use the below diamond flattening stone. It’s cheap and “junk” but it actually works surprisingly well. I have used it on my King stones from 300 to 6000 with good results on my hand planes. https://www.amazon...

Re: manix lw magnacut internal differences?
Have a Manix LW MagnaCut and I find it just as snappy as my son’s Manix LW SPY27. You might just need to losen the pivot slightly.
The Manix LW has surprisingly become one of my favorite platforms.

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
Shawn, How do you balance the need for rapid cooling but avoid warping, especially on such a big blade? I would have guessed it would cool unevenly and worry on you. Not sure if this is what you're asking, but he prevents warping by clamping the blade in between two big aluminum blocks. Helps it co...

Re: Changes to OpFocus Program
Sad to see the change, but still super grateful for the discount. Guess I need to buy a knife before May! A K390 Enuff 2 has been on my radar lately… 🤔 A Shaman has always been on my list, but I just bought my third Spyderco this year yesterday. Need to hold off so my better half does not kill me.

I am into wood working, for $1,000 bucks can get you started and produce nice stuff. With knife making it seems like you need to jump both feet in wit...

Re: Changes to OpFocus Program
I want to be the first to say thank you to Sal and Spyderco for the OpFocus program, greatly appreciated. It is very generous compared to most companies, regardless of the change.
