What about Caly Jr. ??? No news ? Is it still alive and kicking ?

Are you sure Native in S110V is regular production ??? Maybe someone from Spyderco could confirm ....

What about Lansky ? I just bought a Lansky and I wonder ....Maybe I should've chosen Wicked Edge ...

I am contemplating buying one too.I can't tell from pictures, i am curious if it is shepsfoot or just some modified shepsfoot blade.I hope it has some stabbing capabilities just in case.Owners could tell better...

Imagine that : A new generation Para3 with a shorter handle(a better blade/handle ratio) in 3D ( like lil'temp ) and different screws.Let's talk about the blade: a high hollow grind( a la Bradley ) with a stronger tip.

Are there any Sage4 users out there ? I am contemplating in buying one but I'd wish to really carry and use it.I like the looks of it but I am a little concerned.Some say it's too heavy for EDC, some say the Ti bolsters scratch too easy, the back lock is too stif , .... I soon have to decide between...

Burgundy rocks ! And orange.

AFAIK patina is Fe3O4 and rust is Fe2O3.

Police SS spyderedge.For me it embodies SPYDERCO.I carry or use it just once or twice a year but it's still my beloved.I have seven and keep coming.
I have a dream: Police with the same blade shape as the SS classic model(I dislike Police3) and aluminum handle(maybe anodized).

Casual : Delica 4 FFG in ZDP189 or Para 2 (it depends)
Formal: Caly 3 CF in ZDP189
Back-up:Harpy SS

Waiting for Delica Damascus, Ti handle

I had been afraid that I might find the lock up of the FRN UKPK too weak after reading that the FRN models had a weaker spring than the G10 models. I didn't know that the more recent FRN models also have a stronger spring. Anyway, now that I've received my new for 2013 FRN FFG UKPK (together with a...

I started to like more and more the looks of Damascus.On the top of my wish list is the next Damascus Ti handle Delica.I wonder if there are any mechanical differences betwen Damascus VG10 and genuine VG10. :confused: Some say is more prone to rust !....

FRN in saber grind, ZDP189 blade steel.It's forever.

Yes indeed, any word ???

You only need 0.5% carbon to achieve 60 HRC, at 0.6% carbon the steel will be 64/65 HRC, anything above that in regards to carbon % is simply for the addition of carbides. The maximum level of durability at the edge is going to come from : -less than 0.6% carbon dissolved in martensite (to prevent ...

Does anyone know a hard steel (with more than 1.2%C, above 60HRC) less prone to chipping ? :confused:

If I had to choose between a Sebenza, Strider,bla bla bla or any custom knife and my beloved Spyderco Lil'Temp in 440V guess what ??? ....Lil'Temp in 440V embodies everything you can imagine : beauty,reliability,ergonomy.... you name it ! Not excellent but super excellent knife.Too bad it's disconti...

Apart from Delica, do you know other damascus models in the works ?
AFAIK from 2013 production guide Delica will be in regular production.Any info from shot ? :confused:

I have a special problem in the fact that i am NOT a knifecollector who buys knives as safequeens or investements and hides them in a safe. I am also not a knife user that whips out his blade and uses it to cut steel or baton wood. Altough i EDC I always hesitate to use my Spyderco to cut things, a...

The only two that are grippy are the 1 and 3. My 2 has no blade play (and most don't) but a small amount is possible with any folder. Given your needs is there any reason you haven't looked at a Para2 or Manix2? They aren't much heavier and vastly superior for the goals. I have a Para2.Love it but ...
