Re: Pocket knife perfection---Chaparral

I bought one a few weeks ago...but still can't bring myself to carry and use it! It's by FAR the nicest and most expensive knife I've owned to date....

My theory is that it's reserved for fancy dates and events...

Re: Uneven factory grind on Delica. Sharpening advice?

Sigh. Thanks everyone. Seriously. I don't really want to buy the Diamonds. At $40 for diamonds, I could easily justify buying a new Delica instead (and selling or gifting this one). I don't mind using sandpaper, which I've done before for smaller re-profiling jobs, or even a whetstone...but I'm just...

Re: Uneven factory grind on Delica. Sharpening advice?

For now I sharpened it about 15 light swipes per side on med. and fine SM rods at 40 degrees inclusive and then stropped it (I hold my Knives Plus Strop Block against the SM rods to match the angle as I strop...) and it is now currently my sharpest knife. I can push receipt paper onto the resting an...

Re: Finally bought a dedicated SAR knife!

Strong work, and thanks for your SAR activities. One degree of separation, from way back, incl.

Uneven factory grind on Delica. Sharpening advice?

As some of you may know, I've been having some issues with a new Delica 4 PE Saber Grind I purchased a few weeks ago. If you're curious, here's my other thread about them: http://www.spyderco.com/forumII/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=69138 Now, problems (hopefully) solved, I just went to hone it on the Sh...

Re: New Delica: A chip, loose screws and mega retention. Dud, or anal owner?

UPDATE: So..I locktited the pivot screw. In the process, I found out that the D-shaped female pivot pin (or "D Pin" as Spyderco Customer service calls them) moves slightly within it's milled liner hole. It rotates a tad because the pin is slightly smaller than the hole in the liner that it...
