Spyderco Forums

I put thinner edges on every PE knife I buy. It'd be nice not having to once in a while. I could go for thinner stock and FFG on saber ground models I carry as well, both for cutting performance and to trim weight. There is an ocean of difference between a thinner edge bevel and a thinner blade gri...

This looks good but the edge will definitely need some work with a file. I don't know what's up with the v grind when everyone knows a decent axe or hatchet needs a thin convex. Has spyderco done any convex grinds? Also, a rehandle from West Handles would probably be a good thing. Anyone know the sp...

Might as well ask for another 25%. A lot of these are already above what they should be selling for

After a few months of honing s110v I'd imagine the edge retention is approaching abysmal. The apex is probably like a paperclip that has been bent back and forth until it is about to snap. Just 5-10 minutes spent occasionally removing the fatigued steel should yield a huge difference in performance...

(I was writting this before I saw your last post tvenuto, I think we are on the same page, but I'll post it for others just in case the purpose of this thread was not clear to them.) I think the premise of the question may have gotten lost in traslation somehow. If you're on the Spyderco forum ther...

Yes. But we must realize that we all have different definitions of sharp as well as different definitions of performance. Also, sharpening ability may be the largest influencing factor here. Some folks struggle with certain steels and then it is that steel that is inferior. If you are unable to sha...

Tvenuto seems to be the one coming at this from a logical, neutral perspective and doesn't seem argumentative. Others seem to be arguing simple logic which Tvenuto or anyone else could have stated or they're really just pushing an agenda which may apply only to them. Kudos Tvenuto, if my kudos mean ...

You aren't going to see any more chipping at .010 behind the edge than you do at 0.1 behind the edge. Your bevel and apex will remain at 30 inclusive or whatever you prefer. Having a thinner blade will only reduce drag when cutting through material. I also think you need to use a knife like this be...

Yes, most defiantly and as far back as I can remember.

Perception and marketing are powerful things, throw in bias and fish stories along with the internet and we have what we have.

Thinner behind the edge was what I had in mind. I paid $90 on top of the cost of my S110V Military and Manix 2, and I know I'm not the only one who would want something like this or regrinds wouldn't exist. So slicing ability through relatively soft, consistent, and abrasive media, with low side lo...

But it has all the vees! Very good read. Thought it ended slightly abruptly, but very informative. Originally I had a section on toughness tests designed specifically for edges but I was already over 3000 words. Part 2 someday... Looking forward to it. Maybe there can be a test designed that is wei...

So in other words depending on the material you're cutting and how you're cutting it, it's very possible that lower carbide volume steels can maintain higher levels of sharpness longer than carbide packed steel depending on whether the steel is heat treated to take advantage of its toughness. Based ...

Steel dictum says that 440V is soft out of necessity because it's incredibly brittle at really anything above 55-57 rockwell. Even at the lower hardness it's still really weak. Just saying that's why it's not made anymore. I would have to assume that other steels in serrated edge could have likely h...

Well, in the craziest twist of unexpected events...As this thread is going on, I suddenly get an email from someone at Bento Box Shop. They offered me the Paramilitary 2 in S35VN with the Earth Brown handles that I've been waiting for months for KC to have in stock. They offered it to me at the sam...

Is unsheathing a knife that different than folding away a guard? Yes. As stated earlier in this thread i also believe this knife was before its time. But if it's not to be made again, it's not to be made again. I do believe it would sell very well right now if placed correctly in the right stores a...

You best have a ton of money or a super high paid job if you want to live outside Boulder near a mountain stream.

Yes, that would be true.

I still think it's a great idea. Having a clip that can be easily removed from a fixed blade with an internal sheath makes a lot of sense for a lot of people. I don't care what the blade steel is as long as spyderco approves of it. I know the tooling has been changed, but it might be worth it to rev...

I think it'd be a good candidate for LC200N. Basically take the fish hunter and reinsert the cover into the handle and add on a really sturdy easily removable boot style clip on the handle so you can clip the knife to a backpack or boot or boat webbing or molle webbing or whatever instead of lettin...
