In the most simple terms, Rex45 is tougher and K390 will hold an edge longer.
Normally I would agree on the toughness but the Rex is run so hard, I’m not sure it’s still tougher.
Anyone have info on this?

Re: Bright G10

I’m up for some bright colors. I missed on the knifejoy green pm2. Would like to try on a para3. Also would like a green ss stretch.

Re: Classic Spyderco Folders In Larger Or Smaller Scale

I know I'm not the only one who would like to see a "Lil Stretch" model with a blade just a hair under 3" -- both for ease of carry and to meet the legal requirements some places have. The drop-point version of the UKPK is close, but of course the UKPK doesn't lock. A somewhat simila...

Re: Any dog lovers?

Calvin is the blonde doodle, my gf’s dog. He’s a wonderful dope. Great energy, lots of fun, but not very bright.
Brown and round is my parent’s dog. He’s getting a bit gray nowadays.
Oscar is my rescue “cattlehuahua” in the middle. Such a loving and loyal dog. Likes to prove how tough he is too.

SS stretch is worthy of cheating. Let us know what you think of these when they arrive.

Re: BladeHQ M4 Jade Dodo

??? What is going on that the ball bearing lock is not working well is the spring stiff or your fingers are getting pinched? This is my first knife with this lock so I have nothing to compare it to. But, the spring does seem stiff and it sticks when first applying backwards pressure. My fingers wan...

Re: BladeHQ M4 Jade Dodo

I am guessing BOTS are being used more and more these days in the knife world. It was only a matter of time. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a verified membership to these dealers? Keep the bots out of these sales. Maybe members can buy a few hours early. They do this for concerts and such. Edit: ...

Re: Tell us about your Spyderco Knife of the Year 2019

Only 3 are in the running for me: HH red g10 UKPK, irvory ss stretch, and subvert. I’m choosing the subvert simply because it got so much use at the end of the summer for me. It’s big, beautiful, and a real handful. It would make a terrible edc for me as it’s way too thick. For Many tasks a tip is n...

Re: Classic Spyderco Folders In Larger Or Smaller Scale

I've been pushing the idea of a Skinny PM2 Lockback, mainly because I really like the idea of a 3.5" Police4. Did you not see the straight spine stretch? It’s what you are looking for and it’s fantastic. I have one and it's great. Not the same for my hand though. So, you want something like th...

Hahah I knew you’d have something to say about this. It sounds like nothing to me, but of course the witch hunt on the Pats is never ending. And it might end up just being nothing when it's all said and done. But I did find it quite interesting that the local KC sports media went after the alleged ...

Re: Straight Spine Stretch

Finally arrived. Many days late but its here and no issues. Centering is good. Grind is good.
Maybe the sharpest out of the box I have experienced. You guys were right. This one’s great. Never knew I needed this in my life. Love it.

No, you can still find these at some dealers. I think knifeworks sooner state still have some.

I will second the rookie and the 75 mm Persian.
Sooner state still has the Persian, but a sprint would be awesome. Love that little guy.
