Re: C223PYL Sharp Scale Edges?
My advice, worth every penny you paid for it, is just go with the sandpaper and not worry about it.

Re: Help: does anyone know if website Sanford Custom knives is a scam?
I searched for the name of the business and did some reading. Found a Reddit thread where one poster claimed he was the original owner of Sanford Custom Knives, but never had a website and only sold his own custom made knives. He said a scammer stole his photos and information and set up the website...

Re: Tip Up vs Tip Down Poll
Voted "depends on the knife." Mostly don't care, but I switched my Maxamet PM2 to tip down because I didn't like the way it sat in my pocket tip up.

Re: Cricket Lightweight
Now for the bad… the lock is horrible…. Always has been its heavy and causes excess friction both opening and closing, with multiple detents. I can agree with you, because also with my copy it is an extremely stiff and scratchy linerlock. You don't read much about cricket in aluminum construction a...

Re: Seki City back lock quality in 2022?
Checked my Seki K390 lockbacks. The P4lw has a small chip like in your second picture, the leafjumper and dragonfly do not. Personally, I don't see it as likely to become a functional issue and would not worry about it.

Re: Weird streaks/scratch in DLC?
DLC may not be purely cosmetic but, for many of us, S30V is sufficiently rust resistant without any coating. I have a neck knife (HAK) in S30V that I wore under my shirt every workday for 12½ years, from the time I got out of bed in the morning until I got home from work in the evening. Office work,...

Re: SE performance is more than simply teeth vs no teeth.
You are absolutely right, there's no need to overthink it. Seki models seem to come at 20° or close enough to it. Some Golden models, like the Magnacut Native 5, come at 15°. So, give the edge a couple passes on the 30° side to see if you raise a burr. If no burr, switch to the 40° side and have at ...

Re: k390 serrated discontinued?
Unless you're planning to reprofile, SE K390 sharpens up without any undue effort. Personally, I like to start by giving the beveled side a couple passes on the diamond triangles before switching to the brown ones, but it isn't necessary.

Hard to go wrong with the Rockjumper, which can still be found for around $60.

Re: Upping the price.
Again, the cost of quality knives has dropped dramatically over the last decade while the cost of Spyderco has only increased. Inflation is a component but it’s a constant amongst all manufacturers. Why have Spyderco’s prices tripled instead of decreased? The availability of low cost quality knives...

Re: So, Sal, is the Caly3 model extinct ?!
Absolutely. One of my all time Spyderco favorites.
It was suggested to make a sprint of the Calypso jr FRN with the fishscale scales. Any interest?

Have any of you watched Masters of the Air? This is a great show. My father flew on B17's during WWII. He would never talk about it and was angry at a lot of things they made them do. The only thing I know is that he said he survived a crash in the desert and that most of the men in his squadron di...

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!
You're probably right. Dack is still offering a good deal on the knife, if you want one, but the current price (shown after it's in your cart) is $20 more than one month ago.
