Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?

So, went right to the last page and didn't read whatever is going on here. I did get an email from a dealer that supposedly had them in stock. Problem is email was dated 2 days ago as I don't check every day. Needless to say it's not there anymore.

Believe it's a bit hard to sharpen for some people. For me it's kinda a chippy steel

Re: How often do you sharpen your babys

NEVER! I buy too many, too often; And carry all them. Use? Not soo much these days...

Plus, I still haven't set up my paper sharpening wheels for grinder yet and/or bought the multitool grinder attachment for it? May eventually build one(2x72) that can hook up to variable speed jet???

Well, I managed to be one of the lucky folks tonight at 7:01:11. Very lucky, indeed, considering my in-laws walked through my front door at 7:05. I'm really excited to give the Shaman a shot as a hefty outdoor folder, and this'll be an awesome test run for the model before the Crucarta arrives on s...

Re: Spyderco 4v is 65hrc

There are few people that appreciate Spyderco's use of the Supersteels any more than I do. I don't even mind the extra effort that it takes to sharpen many of these newer blade steels. But I'm beginning to wonder if having them heat treated to a hardness so high up the charts to where you can only ...

Re: When is the PM2 Maxamet Going To Arrive???

I wouldn't trust the catalog to be accurate. Best to move on and get something else. Correct me if I'm wrong. But, doesn't maxamet have sharpening issues? Why would you want a steel you can't properly sharpen?
Just my 2 cents

Re: Paysan

Didn't know detent really matters for a blade that will see little to no use? Maybe should have a larger ball? Wonder if removing the blade and bending lock bar a bit will make it stronger? Don't think it would be wise to mess around with 500 knife though. Should have been corrected before manufactu...

Is that knife not selling well? This is the second time they are running that deal.

Regardless, you can't beat that for a crazy deal.
guess "out of stock" answers that question.

Re: DLT Trading PM2 20CV Tan G10

That's a small batch. Prepare yourselves for ridiculous inflated eBay prices. Not likely. Quick look at history show adverage sold price around 200 with a low of 170. Deduct 20% seller fees leaves small profit. 20%?!! I thought ebay charged 10 or 11%. Correct. I was thinking $20 and put % instead.
