Re: MT36P – K294 MICROCLEAN Mule Team Dropping Soon!
After 3 to 4 edges performance hits a plateau. Happens on every production folder I have ever tested. Sometimes happens on customs/midtech if I chose to cut test them or not. Most armchair quarterback reviewers read the script from the same fortune cookie anyways. Right now we haven't reached the pe...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
The plain edge leafjumper has been my favorite carry as of late.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Screenshot_20240521_151425_Gallery.jpg Very cool! I hear there may be a linerlock made out of Golden one day that looks very similar to that one. I was at bladeshow last year, and the prototype for Shawn's folder was on display. I might have been one of the first 5 ppl to find out spyderco and him ...

Re: MT36P – K294 MICROCLEAN Mule Team Dropping Soon!
Screenshot_20240522_083100_Gallery.jpg I cut off the factory edge, and put 1 of my own. The burr cut off very easily from what I saw. The result was only 190 however I usually see a performance increase in more testing. I believe my 10V pm2 and Para 3 both hit 375 when it hit their peak. The magnac...

Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
Got around to testing the buck clone and the leafjumper. I goofed on the 2nd edge of the clone, but the 3rd edge confirmed the 1st edge. At 40% of 70 I did 28 slices, followed by 14 chops on ice to reach 60% It passed, so I did 5 more slices and it failed at 47. In sharpening it sounds like a squeak...

Re: Get me excited about M398
M398 doubled my Aeb-l test cut numbers. Makes perfect sense to me seeing those results with feathersticks. I define toughness as the steels ability to absorb impact, and it's effect on edge retention. I lock my wrist when feathersticking, so I will assume your not twisting or hitting rocks.

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?
I gravitate more towards custom work when it comes to fixed blade options. I do feel spyderco has a good prescence in the fixed blade market, just not as dominant as they are in others. The mule team endorses the fork around and find out mentality which I appreciate alot.

Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
Spyderco leafjumper in k390. One of my favorite carry knives. I have cut tested seki k390 before, but nothing for this thread. 475 is right where my stretch and delica tested before.

Re: Social networks vs. forums - possible return of content to the forums?
I think of social media as a digital diary. A legacy I can leave to my daughter when I'm gone. A blueprint on how to indulge in a hobby, and to help pay it forward to newcomers. Some are strictly interested in just the results nothing more. It's my hope everyone I've impacted with my hobby created a...

Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
Screenshot_20240506_115548_Gallery.jpg This week I'm testing an obvious clone of the buck 110 in 8cr13mov. I saw this at my local hardware store for 20 dollars. I haven't listed any spyderco 8cr testing results in this thread, so it should be a fun comparison. Build quality is very poor on the clon...

Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
400 grit cbn stone used for 3 minutes on my HIC mule. I expected it to exaggerate damage from the ice whacks but it didn't. It could be the damage was so small it just avoided it all together.

Re: Show your Mule
Screenshot_20240501_074847_Gallery.jpg I normally just buy my mule scales from the younger bro of a knifemaker friend. I am not sure if Elijah has gravitated towards full time knifemaker or not.

Re: Steeltoez83 testing log
Screenshot_20240430_171130_Gallery.jpg The HIC mule wasn't able to pass day 2. After day 1 it was fine, but after day 2 it failed. It was still technically sharper at this point than when I received it. 2 days out of the benchmark 7 is a lot more brittle than I'd like to see. I'm deciding if it's t...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I have my own criticisms of why this was made too. I wasn't wearing my excited pants when the ball started rolling either. I'm moving thru these shenanigans of mine to really see what this stuff can do. So far I haven't thought of a practical use for it yet. However I have seen edge retention improv...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
I usually grab my urban lightweight over my dragonfly or lil native. If i had 2 pick 1 from the 2 listed options id go native.
