Re: CTS-XHP corrosion
I appreciate reading everything I can about XHP. Thanks for posting OP! It’s one of my personal favorite steels, but I refrain from gifting XHP knives given it’s rumored “lowish stainlesness.” I appreciate the link to the Techno thread too! I’ve never had staining on my XHP knives, but I’m fairly me...

Re: Spyderco MSRP Increase for 2021?
Spyderco's got to keep up with inflation, just like the rest of us! I reckon these price increases are mostly painful when you don't get a raise at your job. May you all get a nice raise and keep up with MAP in 2021 :cool: Since getting into knives (around 2016), my average annual pay increase as b...

Re: Looking for SpydieChef feedback
Fantastic knife. I’ve used mine in the kitchen a bit—mostly before I got some decent dedicated kitchen knives. It’s a little too broad for a parring knife and too short for a chef’s knife. I see mine as a great EDC that’ll work for kitchen duties in a pinch, and I won’t have to stress over clean up ...

Re: Evolving tastes over time?
All of Spyderco’s scales are really well done.
I would have to say they are the quintessential masters of FRN and polished G10.

Re: Can we (civilly) discuss fixed blade prices?
I have a Lionsteel M4 and M5 fixed blade, and only the M5 has the smallest of gaps at the front of the right side scale, which I never even noticed until now as it does not affect function. The tang of both is prowed with respect to the scales, so I don't know if this is the gap you are referring t...

Re: Can we (civilly) discuss fixed blade prices?
I am very impressed with the quality of the the Spyderco fixed blades I own or have fondled. They are very, very good. The street price is still hard for me to handle. The ones I own, I’ve picked up at a discount (but that’s true with the majority of my knives). It’s just an assumption, but I imagin...

Re: Any interest in more Phil Wilson collaboration?
I kick myself almost daily for not grabbing a Southfork while they were readily available.
CPM154 seems like it would be a great steel for a reissue.

Re: Don’t lube your Southard!!
I’ve had similar experiences with my Southard. Call me crazy, but something also caused the plastic bearing retainers to swell to the point they would not rotate freely in their pockets. I had to sand down the outer margin of the retainers so they would spin freely, and the action went back to normal.

Re: Pm2 S110V
It’s the only PM2 I own.
I found the factory edge chipped real easy.
I reprofiled it with a 17°convex (and later with an 18° KME). Never any problems after the first sharpening.
It’s my go-to work knife and I use it hard. Holds a great edge.

Re: The Final (probably) Three, Revised
Too late to put in my 3? #1. The Southard. It was my first grail knife. I love the blade shape & grind. The edges are perfectly melted. The stonewash on the blade and lock side scale is impeccable. I even find the asymmetry endearing. Mine is still flipping great, in spite of the wonky washers. ...

Re: GIN-1 ( G-2) Era: Spyderco's Beginning
I’ve had my Delica 1 since about 1992.
It was out of my league as a poor college student, but I had to have it!
It’s still a nice knife and in some ways I prefer it to the Delica 4.

Re: Spydiechef blade centering
If your Chef was sentered before disassembly, I think Extra330sc might be correct in suggesting something isn’t quite reassembled correctly. With my Southard I had difficulties with the keyed pivot. With another knife I had a back spacer that wasn’t aligning correctly. On some knives the stop pin is...

Re: What types of colors of FRN do you prefer?
I’m on both sides of this one. As far as bright goes, I really like the orange FRN as seen in the Delica, DF, etc. I’m not a fan of the Salt yellow FRN aesthetically, but it serves it’s purpose. With earth tones, I really like the blue-gray of the V-Toku run. It’s very much grown on me. The brown FR...
