Re: Golden Serrated Salts
Not to mention CE salts. I know I’ll sound like a broken record in this regard, but the total absence of CE in the salt production lineup is both surprising and a little disappointing. Of the Golden salts I think a Manix CE would be my preference, but ideally I’d also like to see backlock in the 3....

aftermarket Pivot replacement pm2 and others
It's the replacement part I'm not sure I needed, but apparently they get requested a lot. Replacement pivots for PM2 para3 yojimbo shaman, now available from ripps garage. :exploding-head What about you guys? Ever lose a pivot? I suppose you could mess the threads up on one and want a replacement. I...

Re: Civilian sharpening angle
As the others say, sharpen 20° with the sharpmaker on the scallop side. Then lightly and as flat to the bevel as you can (1°), knock the burr off the flat side. If you have something like a strop block, strop with the corner (edge) of the leather.

Re: Ikuchi, the best Spyderco folding filet knife?
I don't know if it would be worth it to Spyderco to spend the money on Tooling but a fixed blade Catcherman would be cool. I'd get one for what it's worth. (I got 2 of the folders).

Re: Ikuchi, the best Spyderco folding filet knife?
I have an Ikuchi. I would say no. Not only are you going to rust the thing with fish and water getting in the internals, operating the flipper while its wet or dirty would be a nightmare (only way to open knife). I also don't find the blade to be flexible.

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)
hello everyone. I'm brand new to Spyderco and to the forum, and I just purchased a Military 2 in Crucarta. I want to put a black pocket clip on it, and I'm not doing well with the "Search" function on the forum so I apologize if this is in the wrong spot....but can anyone tell me which po...

spot neck knife, salsa, clip it's
Just got my monthly email from tactical elements. They have some rare Spydies.
Two Spot neck knives, two vintage clip it Delicas, a gunting trainer, and a salsa with a collector # (why I didn't get it).
Have at it https://www.tacticalelements.com/spyderco-knives/

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
I don't know why but the chap has never appealed to me. Where as I've got 10 Dragonflys and 4 lil natives. Visually I find the Dragonfly a more appealing design than the chap. I always liked it even before I owned any Spyderco's. It looks interesting to me, the chap seems kind of plain. Refined and ...

Re: Anyone else have rusting issues on their H2 knives?
A rarity with the salts. I kept a Tasman Salt in my shower for almost a year. Worse it got was some hard water scaling.

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Thanks for the analysis so far. Would there be less distinction between the FRN D'fly and the Lil' Native LW? Because I'm leaning in the direction of an FRN LW model of one or the other. In which case, the D'fly K390 FRN has 2.3" long blade, 2.5mm thick, 1.2 oz. The Lil' N LW will have a 2.4&q...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
The obvious difference is heavy duty vs. lightweight and slicey. Backlock vs. Compression (though there is a BL lil native). I grab the Dragonfly when I need an ultralight folding scalpel, Lil Native when I need a workhorse that's going to see a lot of use beyond opening packages during the day. Dra...

I just noticed the Micarta kinda smells like a burnt clutch or electrical fire I don't know that I've ever noticed that on my other Micarta knives.

Re: It's About Time For: A Full SE Catcherman
Going a bit off tangent, but I'd really like for Spyderco to make a remolded ambidextrous handle before making another Catcherman run. I hoped they had updated the handle for the new release but didn't happen. Right there with you. But the $$$$ involved in remaking an FRN mold is what keeps that fr...

Re: It's About Time For: A Full SE Catcherman
It's about time for a plain edge high edge retention steel hawkbill!
But, I wouldn't mind a full SE Catcherman. I'd use the heck out of it in the kitchen.

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)
I knew when I saw this in the reveal, it would be my first Military. The Milie 1 didn't appeal because of lock type and clip placement. When they announced the M2 with the compression lock and 4 way clip, I knew I wanted one, but wanted something special. Saw the Crucarta and knew that was the one. ...

Re: Sharpening a double edged blade point
I should add to what I said above, start with the fine stone to know for sure where you are removing metal. Once you're comfortable where you are doing so, switch to the coarser stones to speed up the process.
