Interesting bit in the May Byte, not sure if that was intentionally published.

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?
I added a ceramic detent ball and opened up the detent hole a little on my existing Sage 5. Now the action rivals my Sage 5 LW. Actually, I think it's even better than my S5LW. It totally transformed the Sage 5 for me. I've done the same to my Kapara, Sliverax, and Mantra Thanks for the suggestion,...

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?
For me it is its compression lock. Not only I prefer other locks or even no lock to a compression lock, but IME Taichung compression locks are simply unusable, ie pressing the tab combined with a wrist action won't close the blade. This was the case with the Sage which after failing to break it in ...

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
It may have seemed this MAP holiday had less selection than previous ones, but for me I think it was the best one yet. I managed to pick these three up for an average of 51% off MSRP. I’m especially liking the Stretch XL, being a big fan of the Stretch and Pacific Salt. https://i.imgur.com/3o1qiht.j...

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
The deepest discount of the sale I think at 69% off MSRP. Did it end up being H1 or H2 steel?WilliamMunny wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 6:58 pmJust got my Pacific Salt 2 SE from BHQ. Very happy I jumped on it, that is a ton of awesome knife for $40.

Re: Community Sharpening Journal
What is meant by RA surface exactly? I recall hearing Sal state at some point that the fine/ultra-fine is the exact same stone but one gets surface finished to a fine surface. Ra is one of a number of metrics to quantify surface roughness, as defined in ISO 21920. Essentially it is the average of t...

Re: Spyderco 2024 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming
Interesting that the black blade C101PJGRBK2 appears to be screwed construction whereas IIRC the satin blade C101PJGR2 was pinned.

Re: Does anyone 3D print scales or accessories?
Injection molding isn’t an additive manufacturing process and is even more out of reach to amateur makers than forging or stock removal. Injection molding is absolutely additive and it’s not that out of reach. Some of older TheCrafsman videos on YouTube show some pretty low end production of molds....

Re: Science of sharp 15v analysis
What did you think about the images? The images are excellent as usual from Science of Sharp. Always particularly interesting to me is the sectioning of the edge by focused ion beam, and more recently the elemental analysis by EDS. This photo set and its subject steel might be the most captivating ...

Any chance that it's a C11SFG?
