Re: Dragonfly S30V pink version, coming with bronze washer ?

Not DLC, but instead TiCN FWIW.

For me it'd be surprising if it's because of the coating because coated Salts (Pacific, Salt 2) don't get washers added. Curious one

Re: Coated Seki K390 knives?

So far Seki has only done TiCN, and that's definitely not durable. Adding a durable coating to Japanese lines would be nice for sure.

I really like the lighter engraving, it compliments the handle I chose perfectly.

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

My Jeans are all shredded from carrying and more or less frequently putting my Spydies in and out of the pocket (at some point I always have to have a patch sewn on that shredded part of the pocket) and I´d really not like a clip/handle design that actually accelerates that wear. Man, sewing a litt...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

Noticed that as well. It suffers the same problem the Native Chief LW has that is being talked about in that thread. The clip is too short so that doesn't actually sit in the flat spot so fabric grabs the ridges. Debating grabbing one of the longer MXG clips mentioned in that thread, but for now I ...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

The pocket clip grip is a little wild with the recessed scales- so grippy feels like it will tear fabric. But I wouldn't change this, as the retention could be important on a boat/diving/etc. Noticed that as well. It suffers the same problem the Native Chief LW has that is being talked about in tha...

Re: Spymyto is hot!

Unfortunately I didn't fall in love with the knife like I hoped I would and it will be on it's way to a new home this afternoon. Build quality was great, factory edge was great, blade was centered, action felt like it would break in nicely, and lockup was good. Definitely not a fault in execution, ...

Re: Spymyto is hot!

Careful tightening down the clip. I've seen at least one report of it breaking. Apparently there isn't much material in the area around the screw. Not my pics: https://i.postimg.cc/85gzWfCh/image.png How little material is there: https://i.postimg.cc/NMxBHNSc/image.png The one person I've seen take ...

Re: Salt steels for pool/chlorinated water.?

No chlorine experience, but I've never had h1 rust (and have used it the most), have had some gray staining on lc200n (just a couple models but two-ish years of use), and I've had red a couple small red rust spots on Magnacut (two knives with it, both picked up since the early Spring). Given that, I...

Re: Lost my Military 2

Any chance you wore something else as well that day? The couple times I lost a knife, I ended up finding them in pants or a jacket I didn't even remember wearing.

Hoping it turns up

Re: Copy Cat compression lock.

One of the big considerations for me about a compression-style lock from another company would be: Have they put enough attention into the details that make the lock as good as it is? Meaning materials, tolerances, etc., etc., in the same way that Spyderco does. I'm not saying they can't; I'm simpl...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

If anyone wants to know, everything is swappable with other models. I tried a blade swap, no issues. I ended up just swapping G10 though so all the internals are together with the original blades. With three of them apart I was looking around for differences. The stop pin has a little bevel on the e...

Re: Anyone want to see Vanax in the salt series?

Love to see vanax in the dragonfly with a nice thin grind. I'd settle for magnacut but vanax would be better for Saltwater environments. The dragonfly is a very popular knife and could do with an upgrade from h1 even to Lc200n. I have two new catcherman in lc200n and it is a fantastic knife, had to...
