Your "beater" knives can't be too cheap though. They must have a heat treat that yields enough integrity so that the blade is actually capable of getting sharp.... Good point. I should have made it clear that I was using the beaters I bought primarily to build muscle memory. It was about ...

Here's a piece of advice that I wish every sharpening resource put right up front: get some beater knives, and practice on them.... ^This When I decided to learn how to freehand, I went to Goodwill and found 2 knife blocks with partial sets of cheap-@ss knives for less than $20. They were a nightma...

I find it difficult to search using the search feature on the forum itself so I Google "spyderco forum sharpening" or whatever my search term is and you can get much better results. The search feature in the forum has a timer that won't let you view multiple searches You can use Google to...

... I used my Police to do some trimming and pruning of my plants: Thai Birds-eyes, Trinidad Scorpion Cardi Yellows, Habaneros, Jalapeños, and Bhut Jolokia Ghosts. ;) :) Do you worry about cross-pollination with the plants to close? Last winter I had Reaper, Ghost, and Red Savina under a grow light...

Sinnyc, to offer another a dissenting opinion... Like you say, to each his own! Variety is the spice of life, and luckily Spyderco has that in spades. You make valid points all around. In the end, I agree with you about variety and feel fortunate to have such a myriad from which to choose. If we al...

I noticed the numerous compression locks in the mid-year supplement, too. I guess I'm on the contrarian side: I'm not rally a fan. To me, they're basically top-side liner locks and other mechanisms feel beefier to me. I prefer frame locks to liner/compression and I rank Axis-style, true ambidextrous...

I got the standard S30V FRN and an H1 Dragonfly Hawkbill which is weird since it was not even listed as a possibility.

I think Lionsteel makes a nice modern traditional knife and it comes in M390.

That thing is exceptional. ;) I have the M390 Shuffler in Cl...

Love this idea. I'm in: sinnyc

And "yes" to your second question, too.

Prepped the ingredients for a batch of hotsauce.

Yum. I'm growing Reapers and Trinidad Chocolate Scorpions. It's gonna be a spicy autumn :)

Used my Manix 2 LW to open a box containing a new-to-me Blurple PM2 in S110V.

It may. The video from BladeHQ shows a different clip hole pattern from the mid-year catalog, including left and right tip-up carry.

Would be even nicer with a left hand carry option

Yes, you definitely want to remove the scales from the knife. Going from lighter to darker (as you will be) is the way to go and it's a one way street - no going back :) I'm at work and don't have access to all of my bookmarks but I'll look for the info on the process I followed when I get home toni...

Hi Sinnyc,

Welcome to our forum.

sal

Thank you Sal and everyone else! I'm glad to be here.

Isn't there a V-Toku2 Delica coming as well?

Ooooooo, Paysan! Man, that thing's gorgeous.

Hello folks! I'm a very long time lurker but just registered. I own or have owned many knives from many makers over the course of my life but, if I had to guess, I'd say well over 50 of them have been Spyderco blades. I'm somewhere around 20 currently. I've been a HUGE fan of the Manix since it came...
