Re: MT37P - AEB-L Mule Team Dropping Soon
I do a little bit of cooking. Whenever I try a new recipe, I expect the first (or even second) trial to be not so good, but a necessary learning step to figure out how to make what I really want. As I gain experience I am able to produce something good much more often on the first trial -- but you g...

Re: MT37P - AEB-L Mule Team Dropping Soon
Well, that was smooth and easy. Almost anticlimactic with no crazy drama. Nice work from Spyderco. Thanks.

Re: MT37P - AEB-L Mule Team Dropping Soon
This steel has me right away thinking about 52100, which is one of my favorite steels of all time. And I read that some people call AEB-L "stainless 52100". So I am totally OK with it not having fantastic edge retention if it has some of the properties I admire in 52100. I have especially ...

Thanks to TTfultimer for the tip on the $14 sheath, I tracked down what looks like the item in question and will give it a try.

Re: Waiting to buy Mules
Spyderco has always been reticent about publishing heat treat numbers. I don't know why, and don't really care. They have their reasons I am sure. Perhaps they don't want to be in the position of advertising a specific HRC and having people test and complain later. Which would be reasonable in my op...

However the Japanese top all of them.

Re: If you could have any knife in magnacut, why would you opt for another steel?
For variety.
It is really hard to find a bad steel these days. There is nothing wrong with Magnacut, but I don't see it as the only game in town. For example I just picked up the Manix sprint in s15V and I am delighted to have it. I expect other interesting things to come down the road.

Re: Help With Choosing a Manix 2 Steel
Honestly, you can't go wrong, except in buying a LW -- always go for the G10 version. The XL is really a totally different knife. I adore the Manix, but the XL is definitely not for me. That aside, there is nothing at all wrong with S30V, and I am glad to see plenty of people boosting it in the repl...

Re: Anticipation of: CPM REX T15 in MT34
Interesting that Rex45 and Rex76 are close neighbors on that chart. Two of my absolute favorite steels.
I used to cry every night that there was no Rex-45 mule, but the Rex-76 mule took all the tears away.

Re: SRS13/SUS405 Performance Thread
This has been my daily "small knife in the kitchen" since the day I got it and I love it. Very happy with the factory edge and given daily use it has held up well. I may have touched it up once using the Goldenstone and it is probably due for that again.

Re: CPM 15v Manix 2
Can someone explain to me, why the Manix is seen as a strong, heavy use knife? Bolster isn't the first one to mention that. I, personally, never have seen the Manix as the heavy knife, that fights you through the jungle. I mean, the blade is kind a short, if you want to use it as a chopper or as a ...

I think there are more off topic posts complaining about off topic posts than any other kind of off topic post. Although it is off topic, I just want to express my frustration with all this off topic discussion. If I don't feel better after doing so, I'll be back with more off topic discussion until...

Try buying a Damascus blade using PayPal for that matter, you might find your account frozen. Found that one out the hard way. That's interesting.

Re: Please explain "behind the edge" geometry to me
I sit here wondering just what the DPS is for the original grind on a typical knife like the Manix 2 I have sitting right here. I was telling myself I needed some fancy gear to measure it, but I can get pretty close with just my dial calipers and some trigonometry. I take a ruler and find where the ...

I've done some searches and by and large have gotten more confused than educated. Here is what I think I understand. You can tell me where I have gone off the rails and please do so and/or add to this. I think that it would benefit me as well as others. Let's take a full flat grind blade, like most ...
