Spyderco Forums

Thought of a cool idea for Sprint Runs. I'd love to see models that we associate with certain Spyderco plants made in other plants for Sprint Runs. - European Endura in N690Co. - Japanese Manix with a back lock with VG-10 (or MBS-26 if VG-10 cost more than BD1 from the US Manix. I prefer BD1 anyway....

I thought of a cool idea for Sprint Runs. I'd love to see models that we associate with certain Spyderco plants to other ones for Sprint Runs. Like a European/Italian Endura and Delica in N690co or a Japanese Manix with a back lock in VG-10 (or MBS-26 if VG-10 costs more than BD1. and perhaps an Ame...

l recently got the s110v UKPK. I love it but this is my first experience with a steel in this class. I can't tell how well it holds the edge but l sharpened it feels very different. Almost like glass on the ceramic. In my head I imagine the little niobium carbide skating along the stone haha. It's b...

Hope you can see then. l was having trouble.

Recently got the Manix 2 in this steel with the brown FRCP handle; l love it. l haven't taken any pics yet but the brown is great. It is the exact same colour as Dairy Milk chocolate from the UK. It actually have a very slight red/burgundy hue in the brown too. Very nice. The ergos are great. The br...

Hi Dickson, Welcome to our forum. Dickson, Xplorer, thanx much for the detailed review and pics. Getting these Mule Teams out to the market is not an easy task and we really appreciate all of the detailed "real-world" testing. I'm currently using my Maximet Mule for outdoor activity as we...

It's interesting that more people haven't come out screaming the praises of 4v. Like one of the posters here suggested, it seems like one of the most balanced blade steels there is. I can't say enough good stuff about it. I did observe after sharpening it for the first time, that it seems like it w...

Welcome to the forum Dickson! :D I've been using my 4V Mule for a while now. I take it on day hikes, camping trips and wilderness adventures in various climates and conditions. I am extremely pleased with what I've experienced so far. In fact, I love it! :D I don't do specific tests with knives ver...

Thank you for the detailed review, Dickson. I too would love to see Spyderco offer more models in 4V. Welcome aboard! :) l was trying to get some scales for it without the 30 dollar international shipping. That was a sore one. They'd be more costly that the blade itself then. So l've just used it r...

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the review. I think 4V should be getting more attention. It lacks corrosion resistance but balances edge retention and toughness very well. Thank you. l greatly overestimated how much it would corrode. My axe will corrode very fast on me but this has barely even ...

l used it for everything, from cutting food, using it to help wall papering (the edge came in contact with hard plaster often) and making feather sticks for waste wood fires. No chipping - seems very tough.

My very first post here from the UK, after lurking. No pics as all Mules have the same template. l chose 4V because l had never tried a non stainless tool steel and it seemed to offer a unique combination of high toughness an wear resistance and l thought this would be great for a fixed blade. l've ...
