I have not noticed a difference in fine edge retention,
but Magnacut did get me 15% off my car insurance and saved my marriage.

I'm leaving the 5th spot for an amazing future release, perhaps the S90V Military 2 I pre-ordered, or something in Rex 121

So not just a Sage 5 in Rex 121 but a whole family? :exploding-head https://i.imgur.com/LPXhgYo.jpg hope they do one of their 4" models. 15v too. not a para 3 / mini manix kind of guy. I kind of doubt you will see large models in this steel, since it is very difficult to grind and has low toug...

Manix2 Lightweight 15V & FRCP is the only one of the 1st 3 released that is 15V and he included that in his list. So there is still room for another 3 with 15V.

The already released Manix was not a LW, it had liners and G-10

More conjecture....

It is reveal 15. They are pushing 15V. It should be on 15 knives. That leaves 3 more knives than RamZar projected.

Well there are now 15 total if you include the 3 already released.

I'm very interested. Are there any knives currently in REX 121? How does it compare to maxamet? There are very few, mostly custom pieces. It has about 10% more edge retention than maxamet (which is a lot, considering how much edge retention Maxamet has), and is slightly less tough. It's the most ex...

I would like to see more contoured handles from Spyderco. My favorite handles are these:





Both have significant contouring, a curve that matches the shape of the palm, and are thicker at the back.

SPY27 is slightly tougher and S30V has slightly more edge retention. Neither should be difficult to sharpen but SPY27 will be easier. However, if you are going to get a Native 5 in SPY27, why not get a Native 5 Salt in Magnacut instead? Just as easy to sharpen but much tougher.

Wow! Larrin has said that the next theoretical step would be to add more vanadium to Magnacut for higher edge retention. If this is real, I can't wait to see the toughness and corrosion resistance.

I'm not-so-patiently waiting for a Fradon exclusive Manix XL, Shaman or Military 2.

I've noticed C28GFPE Dragonfly 2 in black nishijin and ZDP-189 is also missing. It looks like it is in there, the SKU-number appeared to have a typo that's fixed now. C28GFPE is a Dragonfly 2 and has a ZDP-189 blade. The one currently listed on the wiki is in the Dragonfly 1 section and says VG-10....

I don't see how you could need anything else.
