Denim micarta has been my wish for the last couple of years. Would also be a nod to the blue of the seki k390 modelsWilliamMunny wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2024 11:05 amA K390 version would not hurt my feelings either. Just need nice scale for it.

Re: Your favorite color combination?
I love the British racing green of the zdp sekis and st nicks is the only DLC combo that appeals to me… but any color micarta on a plain blade is what REALLY does it for me…with special honors going to the m4 shaman. The slight green tint to that micarta is my favorite thing that’s come straight fro...

OpFocus Question
My brother and I were talking about our knives on the way up to the mountains to fish… It never occurred to me that he MIGHT be qualified for the OpFocus program.

Re: Gayle Bradley 2 CQI?
The detent on mine is perfect. The only issue I have is a bit of lock stick which will hopefully work its way out. Lock stick on a GB2 isn’t great because it kind of piles on the difficulty of disengaging the lock. The GB2 is a bit like the chaparral in the sense that it’s a phenomenal work/carry kn...

Re: 52100 Native Chief?
Asking as one who never experienced 52100, why is it your preferred steel next to steels like Magnacut and Cruwear? Cruwear and magnacut top 52100 for me, as do k390, 4v and 15v. But I really like bearing steels like 52100 for some reason…each one I’ve encountered has been great to sharpen/maintain...

Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?
That would be amazing…the resilience is my favorite model among the Chinese liner locks and M4 is one of my favorite tool steels. The resilience is highly under-appreciated (probably because of its size). It has this bullet proof, “beat me up” kind of attitude…and that click when you open it, holy m...

Re: Chief vs Stretch XL for fishing knife?
Either would be great. It’s all about how much tip you want, really…
The native chief has a super-pronounced tip…good for piercing if you do a lot of that as part of bait prep. The salt stretch kind of speaks for itself. It’s one of the greatest 4” knives ever conceived but in salt form.

Re: Tip Up vs Tip Down Poll
I’m tip up for everything but the Millie family. I’ve tried tip down for the endura, stretch and a few others but it just never felt right. So nearly everything is tip up. But then for PM2s and my military models, tip up doesn’t feel right. I think it’s because I got used to tip down with the cruwea...

Re: Chaparral
A chappy in k390 or cruwear would be an absolute laser beam.
That’s not to say that the xhp variants aren’t. I love mine…but man oh man. That blade stock with a steel that comes up effortlessly aggressive and hangs onto its front end sharpness. That would be unreal.

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?
There’s probably a generational component to consider when answering this question The models that are the most widespread are probably the Delica, PM2 and Tenacious.

Resurrecting this thread again instead of starting a new one. It’s that time of year again and the longer I have the Caribbean as my main fishing knife, the more I start to wonder if there’s any better general purpose, on the water, fishing/boating knife on the market. In the last year mine has cut ...

I’ve used and sharpened both of these pretty extensively K390 is a clear winner in the sharpening department. Things like reprofiling take a minute but after that, it’s all good.
