Re: So I got a Smock

Have you tried removing one of the two detent balls? I initially thought the detent too strong as well. Finger hurt from trying to wear it in in the hopes it will improve. But it got to a point when I realised my finger would probably be worn down first. Removed one detent and voila! Went from worst...

Re: Calling all Canadians - Canadian knife discussion

Re: Next Seki Sprint Run Steel and Color?

Not that it should stop anyone from wanting to try it, but I just realized Cowry-X is basically Daido's version of ZDP-189 (Hitachi). For some reason I never made the connection until now. I have seen comparisons of the chemistry and I am no expert. But my limited experience seems to suggest to me ...

Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?

Thanks MacLaren for the K390 update. The hues are still there... but subtler... I like it! The 52100 is proving to be a pretty patina platform though... Wondering if you might have tried Superblue for comparison...
