Re: BHQ Paramilitary 2 CPM M4 Exclusive.

I love this color, to each their own i suppose. I almost bought a leaf storm from bento box shop because it had the jade colored handles, but then i saw this was coming out so i decided to wait for it. still waiting.

Re: PM2 Elmax, M390, or s30v for max sharpness?h

Whenever you want, :) wow. I just got a little jealous :D . Those are beautiful edges kwakster. I stood up and clapped. I just use the KME system with extra fine diamond hones, and a leather strop with some green polishing compound, but I suddenly feel the urge to invest in paper wheels and 1 micro...

Re: HAP40 Dragonfly

This steel is the easiest steel to keep sharp that i have, but i'm very careful to keep it dry and not use it on food or anything corrosive (thats what my H1 Dfly is for :D ). Anyone abuse one of these yet like cutting food and leaving it dirty for a few days? Whats the corrosion resistance like?

after some edc.

after all is said and done, and after my gripes about the s110v let me say this. i love the pm2. awesome knife design. i love s110v. what it lacks in taking a dazzling mirror polish, it makes up for with edge retention, and corrosion resistance, this is tough steel and great for a knife that's going...

Re: PM2 Elmax, M390, or s30v for max sharpness?

so a slight update. after much soul searching i decided i must have botched my inital shapening job. yes and no.... yes. i got the knife much sharper than it was. to the point that most sane human beings would say hey, thats too sharp. but.... no. the s110v pm2 has a 28 inclusive and my hap40 dfly h...

Re: Reverse S vs Hawkbill blades?

Re: Wouldn't a Manix 2 LW in H1 be awesome?

I would dig a manix 2 in h1 yellow or not. i like mine plain edge, but i dont mind sharpening often. i had a strong desire for a PM2 in ZDP-189, but i was told what i will tell you. they dont put the Japanese steels, vg10, zdp, h1, on the knives they make in colorado. and there probably wont be any ...

Re: PM2 Elmax, M390, or s30v for max sharpness?

It is entirely possible i just didn't do a proper sharpening job on the s110v. Human error does happen. It will remove hair, but not as smoothly as i would like (i know, i know, how shap does it need to be?). Now on the other hand i just got a hap40 Dfly 2 weeks ago, After 40 minutes on my KME sharp...

Re: HAP40 Dragonfly

loving this knife. no problems getting it stupid sharp. stays hair spliting for a few days, then it just needs a few passes on the strop with some green polishing compound to bring it back to stupid :D

Re: Please no more paperclip pocket clips

if you asked me 2 years ago what my least favorite thing about spyderco was i would have said the wire clips. the wire clip kept me from buying the dragonfly for a long time. then i got one. still wasn't thrilled with the wire. i now own 4 dragonfly's. and after much edc, the wire clips have grown o...

Re: HAP40 Dragonfly

I wonder how many have been sold so far, seems like a lot of the vendors got an smaller first drop then a larger one. I'm trying to remember if the super blue Dfly was as popular as the HAP40, seems like the SB's stuck around a little longer. I guess maybe more collectors are on to these super stee...

Re: Emerson Wave feature on Matriarch or Endura - how do you like it?

So the "wave". Spyderco and Emerson are my 2 favorite knife makers. i own about a dozen emerson knives. heres my take: 1. The wave is the fastest way to deploy a knife that I've experienced. If I've got my hand on my emerson and you've got your hand on a fixed blade knife in pressure sheat...

Re: Poll: What are your two favorite Spyderco blade shapes (and why)?

although it is technically a leaf shape, the almost broad-head arrow shape of the dragonfly is my personal favorite. Love my leafy PM2 as well. I believe hawkbills are the most underrated blade shape around. I love hawkbills and find them extremely functional, dare i say even more functional than a ...
