In the Ayoob sprint, there are no washers. There is a raised portion on the liners that come in contact with the blade. Still can’t tell you why it’s so smooth, but that has to be part of the reason.

Re: Spydercos, pivot?
Is there a correlation between the stepped pivot (like in the PM2) and the two screws?

Re: So, Sal, is the Caly3 model doomed ?!
Who produces the Caly line? Is it Seki or Moki? I want to say it is Moki, which is getting back on its feet at the moment. However, isn't the Caly LW going to Seki? If I'm wrong, could somebody correct me? UPDATE - several people have mentioned that there has been no news of the Caly LW moving to a ...

Re: Thoughts on s90v
In my opinion S90V is amazing but it has slowly fallen off the podium because some newer fancier steels has come around... I don't disagree, but the steels that best S90V in edge retention happen to be tool steels. We are extrapolating the opinions of those for whom a tool steel works just fine as ...

Re: A look at the Calypso Sprint
Thanks for reviving this thread. This knife was before my time here on the forum, so it is always fun to go back and see some new-to-me knives.

I know this is a fairly unpopular opinion, but I like the feel of Teflon washers. The Phoenix reissue is such a smooth knife.

Re: What’s on your current short list?
Thank you for your reply. What I meant about the PM2 is that I don't want to buy the crucarta PM2 because I already have one in Maxamet. There are not many cruwear knives on the market these days. There is the Adamas, with a too thick blade and too tactical style, there is the PM2, which I don't re...

Re: What’s on your current short list?
With the decrease I was thinking of the Swayback, if anyone has any feedback on it. I'd suggest finding one in a local store and seeing how it fits your hand. It is an absolutely beautiful knife, but it did not fit my hand. The point in the back dug a bit into my palm. The access to the Spydie hole...

Re: Native 5 or Delica 4
I am a big Delica fan. Small but capable knife with nice geometry, and there are some interesting options for steel. That said, the Native LW is an interesting model. The ease in which you can take apart the knife is refreshing. I've stopped taking my knives apart with any frequency. But when the ti...

Re: Food Grade Protectant for Tool Steels
that looks like it smells good. i use frog lube paste. i have two little tubs of it and they will likely be used by my grandkids' grandkids with how little it takes to coat a blade and how infrequently i need to. I use the same. Got a container of it that will easily outlive me. I even used it to l...

Wait, the Mosquito was made like that? I thought it was an over-sharpened Manbug or something. What an interesting knife.

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement
Sal said he was carrying a prototype at one point. That was a while ago. Guess it depends on production capacity.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Even more so: Thinner stock and a backlock on that model would be great! What I like about the Lil’ Temp 3 LW is how it fills the hand. Part of that is the substantial width the model provides. This partially comes down to the 4mm blade stock. Would a Lil’ Temp with thinner blade stock be just as c...

Re: “Best” steels video with Larrin
What jumps out to me in that chart is how similar LC200N actually appearantly is to 14C28N - just slightly less though (LC "8.5" vs 14C "9") and, yes, noticeable even-more-rustproof, but I think for most people the "8.5" of 14C (vs "10" of LC) will be rustpro...

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement
Why do you think so resp. where is the connection between "wharnie" and "high hollow"? Okay, that was pretty pessimistic of me. I have no real data on which to base my statement from earlier. We don't see much in the way of hollow grinds in the modern Spydie lineup. So I kinda m...
