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?
tasman salt cuts limes like a champ. i have no experience with the reverse s blades but i have edc carried hawkbills and i will say this. they are better at some tasks and worse at others but the point i would stress is that you can make any blade shape work for you if you are willing to adapt. if s...

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...

got my dad the zdp man bug for his birthday. he hates carrying things in his pockets, the kind of guy that uses a money clip instead if a wallet. he loves it, carries it everyday.

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 ...
