Dear Wartstein: That's correct. They are also made in two different countries by two different makers using different sharpening methods. The angled shoulders present the challenge. Thicker blade stock makes that challenge even more difficult. I'm just trying to point out that there are a lot of dyn...

Hey, All: Interesting topic. I am a big fan of full-length edges without sharpening choils; however, as a knife designer, I am also sensitive to the unique balance of the design itself and the sharpening methods of the factory. If you look closely at the OP's original post, you'll notice that most o...

Need photo of ChicagoJimbo...goodness, how does one grind that much steel and keep the temper? https://nordicknives.com/cdn/shop/products/CTF-2122_large.jpg?v=1642449680 Grind a little, dip in water a lot, drink a little (not the dipping water, something more enjoyable)... I also leave a "tab&...

I have been back-pocket carrying knives for 50 years--since before Sal invented clip carry. If I am in an environment that frowns on visible c...

Thank you, Bolster, for sharping my post on the other thread here. The best I can do is explain my logic. If it suits your personal needs, great. If not, Spyderco has other knife options that likely will. For me the greatest MicroJimbo "win" happened a couple of days ago. I was walking thr...

Where is the index finger supposed to locate, on a MicroJimbo? At point A or B? I'm sure you could do either, but for which location was the MicroJimbo designed? How does Mr. Janich hold it for its intended purpose, index forward (A) or index back (B)? Dear Bolster: For my purposes, typically B. If...

Dear Windward:

Hey, All:

The MicroJimbo in satin finish is finally shipping. The all-black versions are supposed to follow soon.

Huge thanks to Spyderco for allowing me to contribute another design to the lineup!!!
