I really like that coffee bag micarta too, but for me Brown canvas and the classic burgundy are prime choices to me.

Can we please have some phenolic handle material on the next Sage? I think spyderco needs more Micarta in its lineup.

Hello xceptnl, where do you pre-order the Caly 3.5 ZDP/CF? Thanks. GP Knives. They typically post their pre-orders very early, but at least you can get on the list. Unfortunately Jeff @ Cutlery Shoppe doesn't allow us to pre-order many knives. The last one I pre-ordered from them was the FRCP Manix...

Hello xceptnl, always love to see the Spyderhawk in action. Nice knife. I just wanted to see how it did. I was not happy with how cleanly it sliced the apple, but it did a great job on green pepper and celery earlier in the evening. My Caly 3.5 SB will remain my fruit knife for now. I do however lo...

monster, I don't think you will be disappointed with either. It is odd you would compare the PM2 with the Superleaf because their size is so different. I have both and don't think you could go wrong with either, however the thick bladed Superleaf is a terrific smooth EDC blade. Or ...... get them bo...

Tony, what is the texture of the treated steel like? Is it rough or more gritty like the finish you would get with Ferric Chloride?

I missed it too, by one day. It was on my 2012 Spydie catalog and i still missed it. Maybe people whom placed orders on leap day were also added to the contest drawing.

I have gone strop crazy tonight. I have stropped Spydies and BMs tonight, kitchen blades & utility knives. If I found a knife that already had a sharp edge, I have stropped it. I think this is even more addictive than the profile stones were.

The VG-10 on my delica had already been touched up on the UF rod prior to the stropping. I started with the black and then transitioned to the green. I could see my own reflection in the edge once I was done. I'm not saying it is a perfect mirror, but for that little effort it blew me away. I will p...
