Wow, An actual real world use for trigonometry.... who knew. 😀

how do you feel this type of lock would do in sand swimming beach environment with that comp lock ?

Mine should be arriving today. Hopefully, it lives up to the hype...

Can you replace the Teflon washer?

Looks nice but that’s a lot of work and a lot of chemicals!!

Just got mine today. But its VERY hard to flick open :( Can I just loosen the screw a little, or ?

Excellent video. Very well done. You are very knowledgeable and detailed. You covered every aspect of the knife very well. Thank you

I love seeing this useful application of trigonometry. As a novice freehand sharpener, this will be extremely useful for me; thanks!

I just picked one up today I'm not having that opening issue yours is

Great info and demo. Thanks!

@5:51 Street prices $441.00 and $235.00. They are all the way up to $577.50 for the Drunken and $303.00 for the Spydie Chef. Thanks Joe!

Great Video!!! Do you know, if the acid stone wash method also works for the cru steel? I have an Spyderco PM2 with Cru Steel.

I bought two Spyderco Dragonfly-2 knives in VG10 and one hasn’t been out of its box because the other one is indestructible and having too much fun being a knife.

Wow .... i like your video sir ..interesting😊

Good information and I set up a spreadsheet to do the calculations, but all of the tutorials miss one thing. When you have multiple facets you have a primary facet starting at the back of the knife, then you may have a secondary facet, then the cutting edge angle facet. Two faceted knives with just a primary and the cutting edge facet is straight forward, but when you have a facet in between and you are clamping on to the primary facet, the formula does not account for the secondary angle between the primary and the cutting facet. In other words, when you set up the jig you clamp to the primary facet to grind the cutting facet. If there is another angle between the two facets, you will be grinding the cutting facet using the sum of the two facet angles. Have you devised a method to calculate the second facet and subtract the cutting facet angle? I am going to work it out, it will take a little more math, but the nice thing about spreadsheets is once you figure it out you have it forever. I have many formulas I have saved over the years that I use often

Just bought one of three left at st Nick's knives. Love the anesthetics, great review

Never heard of the spyderco shaymen😂

I know this video is already several years old, but it popped onto my page, and I'm happy to say that its great! New sub here...looking forward to the rest of your page!

This in magnacut is my favorite knife!

Great, so simple yet so easy to miss that you can do. Thanks!

I usually like niche/expensive knives but I recently picked this up and love it. Action is great and it’s a steal for the price. It absolutely punches above its weight class.

Great review. I have been carrying a gifted kershaw clash for six weeks to see if i need a knife in tge limited real estate of my pockets. I work an office job. I'd love a video from experienced edc knife owners describing what they use their knives for. I've found that i need to remind myself to use the knife. The more I use it, the more I find uses for it. I know many folks collect knives and sometimes the reviews and explainers seem somewhat focused on collecters needs. But i think 'the only knife you need is the knife you have' is not interesting to someone like me.

You just taught me how not to beat up my thumb opening the squid. Man it's that easy to flick, who knew?

Good information, yet very slow delivery and long video. This is KZbin, please try to cut your video time. We all have lives.

Reminds me of WW1 german aircraft camo.

Love it 😍❤️

Very cool!

Ain’t nobody going to do all this lol but it’s dope video

spend 500 bucks to mod a $200 knife - first world problems

I love this knife and basically carry it every day. Super corrosion resistant, easy to sharpen, holds an edge well and very low maintenance. 👌

You should try the Medford Smooth Criminal. Button lock with similar dimensions.

I've done research on basically every easily attainable Spyderco, and every time I think I found something I like more, I come back to the Sage 5 Lightweight. It just ticks every single box for me, in an EDC knife. Perfect size, weight, blade thickness, features, etc. It's going to be my first real Spyderco, 100%.

Ive had this knife for 7 years and its my go to for prying.

gradiant or degree?

Hey! So how do you deal with the rust and patina of the k390? i am struggling with it and would appreciate your insight.

They have a factory micarta PM2 with cruwear now! I’m getting it %100. Super excited😂😊

Spyderco doesn't void warranty unless you mess it up putting it back together. Anodizing scales probably does void it though because it's an alteration.

What impressed me most about my Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe in K390 is that it came at 0.011" (0.29 mm) thickness behind the edge. My only knife with a slicier grind is an Opinel 'garden' knife.

Love this knife. The pivot action is crazy smooth, like bearings. Not sure why my military can't feel like this. Owning this has really changed my opinion on wharncliffes, for regular use, I find it does most things better than normal blade shapes. It's penetrates much better and follows through the cut better than trailing tips. I sit here wondering why most knives have trailing tips. Seriously, how often do you use the belly of a knife? Maybe to carve wood but when do you do that? Even cutting food, wharncliffes just cut better.

If this was a self defense knife I'd say deep carry is a problem but since it isn't and it's more like an edc for edc things..... who cares

Thanks for sharing the steps, it's helps a lot, foward to see more of your work 😀 👍

I just got this for my girlfriend. Its cool, she loves it. I cut my finger with it within the first 5 minutes of having it out of the box by depolying the knife with my other hand in the way🤠

What clip is that? Looks nice

Just picked one up in Magnacut. I absolutely love it!

thank you so much! I finally pulled the trigger on this one i'll justify the cost of my tiny knife as a tool i would be using for years and years, why does it when someone buys $100-200 Jordans nobody bats an eye? those things disposable

excellent job and comments!!

Is the pieces the same with steel?

Great review, thanks!

What I would lik to know is if application of the dlc coating effects hrc. Does application require heat? Is the knife as hard as one without the coating?
