I would say vtoku 2 is much tougher in the edge stability area, zdp189 is stainless but I have heard of it rusting on people and possibly even forming a patina, but should resist most rust and or patina and also have higher edge retention, also would be much harder to sharpen then vtoku2, but with v...

I've taken mine down to 15dps and have had great luck with that so far, I'm generally pretty hard on my knives so I do like going less then that even tho I know it could handle it. I just feel better with it at 30° inclusive, it was pretty easy to do so on my wicked edge, took half the time as takin...

I'd agree with brainfriction, I've had the best luck with using a Dremel and creating a flat head for a screwdriver to screw it out

I have done nothing to my police 4 besides wipe it off with my shirt and keep it clean, I've had no spec of rust, tho I've noticed it holds a finger print more so then any other knife I've used, and I get the feeling if I left a finger print there for an extended period of time it'd rust or "pa...

I always thought it was odd when some people would say that Spyderco back locks can't be flicked open, or can't be closed easily one-handed. I used to like occasionally flicking my back locks. I never had any trouble flicking open my SS Police models, Enduras, Delicas, Pacific Salts, Salt 1's, etc....

Haha I guess we are backwards, as I've never handled a kapara, tho I want to. Also i recommend the police 4 highly, if you like the endura like me, the police 4 only gets better and better, such a great steel, upgraded contours and a larger hole, it truely is a great knife, it's like the endura on s...

I'd say just follow the police 4,
Bigger hole, better contoured lines, finger choil etc etc

I own endura, had a delicate, police 4 and unfortunately those are my only backlock Spydercos ive owned or own, and I've never shared the same feelings with other about them not being "flickable", as I do flick or have flicked them all, even the endura and delicas that have a smaller hole,...

I started with the lansky system which I got good results but till then I never could free hand sharpen, but once I got the lansky it just clicked in my head and it was almost natural, tho I don't have many free hand stones and I'm kinda ocd, so I prefer the perfect lines I get with a guided system,...

Love it!!! That just makes me giggle LMFAO

Also I still own that pm2 and it is still rock solid and I've never taken it apart nor tightened a thing on that knife, and I usually take apart most of my knives or at least tighten something, I'd say most knives can handle a good batoning despite what people may think or say about it, I've done it...

I make my own bows and I baton the general shape, and for a while I only used my s110v pm2 for battoning all the rough cutouts, I did this with the lock disengaged while holding the choil, which I found was the perfect knife for doing so, it never broke and for a while it was do or die with that kni...

I'd say, and is recommended by manufacturers, leave the blade towards the seem of a pocket, or my recommendation is leave it in a secure place where if your grabbing it your weary of it possibly being opened, as it is a real possibility, my tenacious did the same thing to me, but it also didn't have...

About 3-4 years ago I got the tenacious, man I do miss that thing, I beat the **** out of it too, batoned so many logs and wires, but gifted it after getting more sypdercos and other knives, wish I got into Spyderco sooner, before that I'd just buy a Walmart knife and use it till it got dull cuz I c...

A while ago I accidentally dropped my Military and the blade started hugging the clip side. Unfortunately this knife was one of those affected by the red loctite fiasco. I decided to take the knife apart and re-apply blue loctite. I managed to unscrew all the screws successfully apart from one pivo...

Honestly, regarding this sprint, I was concerned about how it would stack up performance wise to the plain Jane vg10, but now after having it and seeing how amazing it looks, I wouldn't care if it's on par with vg10 in the wear resistance category, because of how nice it is aesthetically. Plus, as ...

I like both knives the same, as I've gotten used to being able to hold smaller knives with my big hands, so I'll comment on steels, s110v is tough, but I've chipped it a couple times doing hard work as a groundskeeper, so if it's pure cutting I'd say go with s110v, tho it can handle hard use, I'd st...

Man I've been seeing some wicked patinas put on vtoku2 blade, I've been careful not to put a patina on mine but how are you guys doing this? I love the edge retention on vtoku2 and how tough it is especially for how hard people say it is, I just don't want to put a crappy looking patina on it and ru...

Tko thanks dude, that's exactly what I was looking for,
Knivesandbooks and sharp guy thanks for the reply,
I have that on my list and due to the holidays and what not I have a list of knives and probably will only be getting one for use for while, glad to hear people are liking it tho

As a person who has nothing to contribute besides his 2 cents and good will I hope that everybody continues to have such good faith in others as before, but also weed out the bad
