      presumably this is even better, because it’s 10 more init?

      Isn’t that how all things work? [emoji38]

        I have a hard time telling the difference between S45VN and S35Vn, etc. I think for someone like me it's all the same, @LewisStonehouse. What do you use as a sharpener?

          @henry_david I sharpen my knives when I visit my Dad, he’s got an extremely over-engineered (and ridiculously expensive) jig that makes it a doddle. Can’t remember the name of it, I’ll ask him and report back 👍

              @neph93 love that knife.  The steel is ball bearing steel.  Very high tolerance.  Don’t fear the rust.  It’s just knife fades.  Have you mastered the spydie flick?

                      I have learnt that. Although funnily enough, I learnt it on an MKM knife. I was playing with it one night and figured that if I do «that» then «that» it should flink and it did. I then remembered reading about the spydie flick, Googles it, and had that Gen X superiority rush. It was nice.

                        Anyone got any experience with a Para 3. Just ordered one with a solid discount on it, never had a knife from Spyderco before 🙂

                        Love my Para 3s

                        But I find I grab this one most of the time - Smock

                          Enjoy my para3 as well–-but the scales did chew up my pockets pretty quickly.

                            Just received: Jen Anso small slipjoint (the model name is Monte Carlo), with an orange G10 handle. Jen is a great designer and his execution is flawless.

                              Exquisite, @JDelage. I'd never heard of them and so gave the knives a look. Just … wow. Beautiful design and lovely finishing.

                              I just received a kitchen knife from a San Diego, CA based company called Half Face Blades. I was gifted a fixed blade at Christmas and wanted to buy one of their kitchen knives. Made with S35VN, the blade has been given a black cerakote coating along with a paint splatter look. Truth be told, I didn't want this one (I think that it's functionally wonderful but ugly as sin), but I won accidentally on eBay and … well, here we are. I may re-list it and get rid of it.

                                Sorry to get all Gen Z and post a meme, but I found this “relatable”.

                                    Just got this yesterday. I do have to admit to a bald spot on my left forearm. Just used to get shavings and kindling for a fire. Then had to use it for food prep, just to see if it could. Now cooking over the fire.

                                      I used to check my woodworking chisels for sharpness by shaving my arm too  😃

                                        When I used my Lansky sharpening kit for the first time I realised how much practice I needed when my newly tooled Spydey couldn’t shave arm hair.
