Re: Delica 4 in 2024?
For me it’s the Endela in k390… just a bit more blade length, belly, and what seems like a ever so slightly thicker tip… it almost has a bit of a Insingo blade shape… fits my hands like a glove… and man do I love k390! Delica, Endela, Endira… Such a great family of knives!

Re: Best Edge Performance Steel between these choices?
Thought it might be fun to bump this thread to see if anyone’s opinions have changed or if there are new thoughts after we’ve had time to use these steels.

Re: PM2 Micarta Cruwear aftermarket backspacers
I know Jake and I imagine if you contact him he’ll make one for you… I’m actually about to ask him for the same thing for one of mine.

Advantages of the 15V Shaman?
Finally got a shaman in 15V… love the shaman and the amazing heat treatment BBB and Spyderco cooked up… while I understand the shaman won’t be the slicey monster like the thinner manix 2 or PM2, but I’m curious what others would say the thicker stock of the shaman does to the 15V? Does it give it a ...

Re: Endela v. Leafstorm v. Para3 v. Lil T in K390
I’d love to see the Golden plant run k390 a little harder like what comes out of seki city… absolutely incredible steel! Love my endela in k390!

Linerless Native 5 G10 - structural integrity question
So, I admit up front the designers at spyderco know how to make really good knives, and I know they know what they’re doing. I’ve been looking at one of the linerless native 5 knives and was curious about the structural integrity… specifically: 1) how do the washers interact with the G10 scales? I k...

Re: "sharpener's steels"
I sat down to sharpen my k390 endela on my wicked edge using Diamond stones… didn’t know what to expect given the high HRC on those k390’s… I literally put my stones down after 5 minutes and laughed in disbelief and how quickly a bur formed and how easy it was to get it screaming sharp…

Re: PM2 Micarta Cruwear aftermarket backspacers
A knife maker that many of us know and admire recently made this OD Titanium Backspacer for my PM2. These will be available in a variety of materials and finishes. I’ll post a link once I get word that he’s added them to his website. 80E63CE5-6D86-441D-A6E1-B145FA618BAC.jpeg F594947B-93B7-4C55-AF29...

Re: K390 in the Spyderco Byte; a compliment and two requests
A manix 2/manix 2 lightweight would be amazing with k390! Heck… a shaman! Absolutely love my k390 endela!
