Re: S30V
+1 on the Spyderco ceramic bench stones. Couldn't live without them anymore (medium/brown and fine/white). BTW, I get rid of most of the burr with one or two final soft strokes on the stone but along/parallel to the knife edge. Reg. S30V, there are simply some really outstanding Spyderco designs tha...

This is the real thing. You can tell from the screws, among others.

Re: Drinking the Maxamet Kool-Aid
"because I think the Manix 2 is the greatest thing since sliced bread"
I agree :)
WRT wear resistance, S110V and Maxamet are actually rather similar, don't expect miracles ... Maxamet is just much harder, so it can do stuff s110v can not - like engrave the s110v blade :)

Re: Replacing a ZDP Endura?
I agree that it's a beautiful knife but I have serious questions about the stability of the scales during real use. I would hate to be in the middle of nowhere on the rain and find out the wood hasn't been treated properly. According to the manufacturer (Rutland Plywood Corp.), " composite phe...

Re: Replacing a ZDP Endura?
If you can still find the Pakkawood Endura, I suggest to get it. Beautiful knife.

Re: In praise of Mr. Ed Schempp
The Tuff is an interesting design, but both the one i own and the ones i have handled have been very stiff action and lock wise I like it so much that I have two, one as backup. I got both used, close to new, factory assembled still. The older one has a stronger lock than the newer one (my user); t...

Re: Can anybody else relate?
Yeah, don't worry about shaving. Go for a week each, and afterwards check how much light they reflect. Also, try to hit the occasional staple and check for chips :) And again, HRC is not just about wear resistance (you have a really nice spectrum there). Your 4V knife might cut through the staples i...

Re: Unpopular Blade Steels That You Like?
If I remember right that first run of the Chinook had a really handsome looking swedge on the spine part of the blade. It's been a long time since I seen one of the original, first run Chinook models. Thanks for the reply, JD. It's absolutely gorgeous :) I'll carry it the upcoming week-end and take...

Re: Unpopular Blade Steels That You Like?
I love 440V on my Chinook 1. Hard to compare to anything newer as the knife's geometry is so unique.

Re: Knife Center Spyderco Annual Clearance Event
Opus came in, and is beautiful. Hopefully I'll forget the Teflon washers in use .... Couldn't resist, so bought a Ti Cara Cara 2 today - 47 bucks (had a 10$ gift card). This will be my first byrd.

Re: To M4 or not to M4...
I answered yes only because I've liked hap40 in my seki models and I'd like the chance to try more rex45 in other golden models (manix!). I have no issues with m4, though. My 4V Manix behaves kind of similar to my Rex 45 knives (hardness and wear resistance). Obviously geometries are dramatically d...
