Denim micarta and super blue please.

So I know this is an old thread but it still seems it has not been totally answered. I don’t know all the knife makers that would know best but I’m hoping to revive this in order to learn more. I thought I understood this subject but soon learned that edge retention/hardness didn’t dictate better e...

The pictures don’t do the Stok knife justice. I checked one out when I dropped by Blade HQ and they looked pretty nice. Didn’t get one because of the steel type. Ended up finding a fixed blade in CPM-10V and got that.

Yard work. Trimmed branches and bushes.

Today’s EDC picked for me by my daughter. PM2 and Native 5 with CRUWEAR. Plus two titanium pry bars, write in rain note pad and tactical pen.

If you have the chaparral Birdseye maple that would be perfect for this.

My Native removed the old cob and installed a new new one on the squirrel feeder. Yesterday, it stripped some bark and cut cordage used during transplanting the mulberry tree pictured in the bottom right. Also opened a bottle last night 👍. https://i.imgur.com/uDeUksj.jpg Nice. Looks like your multi...

Test driving my new ClipiTool Native Salt today

That’s cool! Did you make the clip? Looks like it’s made from another Spyderco blade?

Anyone have a link to a good comprehensive carbide volume chart? Would love that info and thanks @VeraX_Knives for helping me think outside of just edge retention and toughness.

Ok this is a simple question that I’m hoping you can all clarify for me. I don’t have all the fancy equipment and knowledge you all have. I also have one of the worst cases of psoriatic arthritis that my doctors have ever seen so I can’t do the repetitive cut testing. But I do try. The thing that h...

M398 doubled my Aeb-l test cut numbers. Makes perfect sense to me seeing those results with feathersticks. I define toughness as the steels ability to absorb impact, and it's effect on edge retention. I lock my wrist when feathersticking, so I will assume your not twisting or hitting rocks. Lock my...

I would far and away rather have 14C28N than 52100. Same toughness, better edge retention, and it is stainless. Umm 🤔 both please 🙏 Been want a quality heat treated 14C28N Spyderco knife for a long time. I also had no clue Spyderco made a knife with 52100 steel. I’ve kind of fallen in love with kni...

Would love a new Eric and Sal collaboration. Something maybe that signified the changing of the guard? Or how about an Eric, Sal and Kolby collaboration (Eric’s kid, met him when I visited Spyderco, he’s great at customer sales/service already)? At least I think it was Eric’s kid. Hope I got the kid...

Does anyone have a good source for an after market Sharp Maker base with different angles? I have 2 Sharpmakers and all of the stones offered by Spyderco already. Hopefully a tighter fit so the stones don’t move around in the base. For example 15 and 17 would be useful for me as I don’t use the 20....

It’s Monday yay ! This one was inspired by all you that post a Manix every Monday. Wouldn’t have bought one if it wasn’t for you all and I’m glad I got it. It truly is a great knife design.

Creating feather stick to start fire for hot dogs and s'mores

Does my belt count for in my pocket? If not, my bad! So the M398 mule has become my go to feather sticking knife. It stays sharp and doesn’t chip. Never would’ve thought that before i tried it.

Would be cool if this material could be 3d printed into a knife. Don’t know anything about the subject but that caught my attention when it said this material could be used in 3d printing.
