Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Awesome choice. Let us know how you like it. Was debating between the one you got, PM3 crucarta or the mules. Went with the mules. Because I waited too long on the T15 mule and it sold out. Decided I shouldn’t wait on the K294 because it was getting low in numbers. Next I’m going to get another AEB...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

What will be my first piece of magnacut should arrive in a day or two. In the form of the all-black PM2. Excitement level is high!

Re: Spyderco Photo of the Week Contest!

Great images last week, you guys! To get things rolling for this week: here's a shot of my current go-to carry, as I've been pretty smitten lately. I noticed the work sofa has a micarta-like texture, so figured I'd take the fiber-look to the max with this shot that also shows the look of the LynchNW...

Re: How about a PM60 Mule?

Sounds like an interesting chemistry to me - I'm fond of the high-HRC mules and would be interested in testing/use if the opportunity arises down the road.

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?

Smashed the bumper on our new truck... and so got a new plate bumper shipped freight in an absolutely huge box with tons of packaging. The packaging didn't stand a chance with my Rex45 Manix2 LW on-hand, even though they sort of matched. Absolutely crushed the job! https://i.postimg.cc/mggMPDrb/IMG-...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?

I'm planning on testing out some of the techniques and tools I have from my stone carving experience. I am thinking it will act more like stone than steel when sharpening so I am thinking very fine diamond on various materials. I have soft backed diamond wheels going up to 50k as well as diamond pa...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

Bought a cheap ceramic knife to practice sharpening on in anticipation of the HIC Mule. First time trying to sharpen a ceramic knife. Out of the box it wouldn't slice a paper towel and barely sliced into a regular piece of paper. Sharpening it was an interesting experience. Initially started on my ...

Re: Different knife different day, or one knife for life?

As far as the forum goes, there are many , all over the world, that have an interest in knives and edges, to some degree, that have no persons in their world with whom they can have a serious conversation about knives. All too true. I joined this forum exactly because of this fact, and I'm quite th...

Re: How much did you spend on Spyderco brand products in 2023?

Absolutely hilarious, the disparity between the number of responses to this thread/poll, vs. the absolutely quite similar thread that just queries the number of knives. Fun games, and I'll participate in both.

Re: Different knife different day, or one knife for life?

Man, I'm feeling seen. Even with my relatively modest collection of a few dozen knives, the decision fatigue often leads to a few knives going with for the day... I typically keep 3-5 different steel/designs in the scary sharp state on the shelf so I can pick and choose based on the cutting (or abus...

PM2 is a DLT Tan exclusive which is difficult to get a true color of scales in cloudy conditions. I like them but clean them more often than other scales . I may switch them out someday . Dan
Dan, now that I know it's actually a light tan color I'm even more envious! Great looking knife.

It was a "warm" day here, still about 45F at sunset, so I'm celebrating by having a fire. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-SjD7gSk/0/L/i-SjD7gSk-L.jpg Man, the edge on your PM2 looks so good (and acute!). Looks like great fire weather. Unrelated, but here's mine for this fine Friday: h...

Re: New to the forum and Spyderco

Interesting Forum name you chose i.e. "Ozark75". Which begs the question: Are you from the Missouri Ozarks? Yeah I do know that some of the Ozark range also extends south down to Arkansas. But most of the really good parts of the Ozarks Mountains ( big Hills) are here in good old Missouri...
