If all K390 was heat treated in seki city and was available on more knives, I’d choose it hands down. I like it better, but it’s gotta be from seki city.

My top five fishing blades 1. Spiderco stok bowie 2. Benchmade Mini Grip 3. Spiderco tenacious 4. Ontario rat 1 5. Esee camp lore 2.5

I've owne Ken Onion Blur s30v for 90s years now and still part of my EDC with no issues I just told my Spyderco PM in s45vn so looking forward to it I like you tutorial looking for tutorial😊

Good job giving your opinion

I had the same burned steel thing with the Magnacut Deka and Hogue did me right. Since I'm not from the US, I suggested they send me a replacement blade as the cheapest option for both of us. After some back and forth, they eventually agreed. At first I noticed the grind was wonky, it basically had two separate grind lines, for the coarse and fine grit and was generally uneven. I'm decent at sharpening so I decided to fix that myself and did not think much about it until I saw how bad the steel was. It was literally crumbling away like the cheapest 5$ kitchen knives. The tip was the worst just like you said. Eventually the shape of the knife was ruined since the tip was grinding away faster than the rest that now had "healthier" steel.

Lol

Just snagged one for $40 Amazon Prime Days.

Very good presentation 😊

Dude where have ya been? Been missing your vids. I still watch the old BGM ones every once and a while

i think it is AA/NiMh only light. As far as i know only convoy makes lights that eat both 14500 and AA

This is how my mule in 15V was out of box. Stropped it with 1um Gunny Juice on basswood and it actually cut. Hope all is well bud 👍🏻

Late to the game, but just bought 2 at $49/ea through Beireli on closeout. One for me, one for my son. Great knife, btw. Been using it for a few weeks.

I also got an Slip it with that rattle ... I think, it is a loose pin, which is placed (hidden) between the pivot screw and the middle screw, within the spring in the back. The 2024 model has a continuous pivot at this place, which can be seen on the scale :-)

to much $$$$$$

Put all 3 keys on the large end and the key ring loop on the small end.

What adjustments were you making to the sharpener?

Thanks for sharing. There’s so many steels I don’t believe it really makes a big enough difference in which you choose. Unless it’s a special use and just for everyday carry either one will do so cost is what will make the difference in which to purchase. I own over 600 knives and weight and size mostly determine which i carry.

EDGE GEOMETRY IS WHATS IMPORTANT!!! I think it’s funny people how people get when they talk about steel now days. The fact is ask knife makers what they think matters more.

Sorry. My hearing is bad. I cant tell what you are saying that the knife make and model are. Can you please tell me?

That Para 3 is nice! Just got a Manix2 in Cruwear.

Micarta looks much cooler and with all the different cloth variations it makes some pretty amazing looking stuff. But G10 feels better and doesn’t seem to gunk up as easily. It’s also grippier.

Why are you cumming when you walk and talk

I use grease, is that OK?

Many thanks for a great video. As a UK Spyderco fan, this is definitely on my list.

DLT had some leftie inlay models n I’m considering picking one up 🤩 gorgeous knife

My Rough Ryder High carbon canoe has G-10 scales, as described by both SMKW, and CHKW but it looks like Micarta to me. I ordered the Rough Ryder Highland Cleaver. SMKW says the handle material is Micarta, where as Chicago knife works call it G-10. To me the handle material on both knives looks exactly the same. If the knife company's can't tell the difference how do we?

Decent content, yet why is the video 10min? Please try to reduce the excess content for us interested viewers. Thank you.

This video, are you for real? Wow, slow and low that is the tempo. Hint: Please speed up these reviews. We like the content, yet 20min videos we have to FF and skip through are foolish. Let's shorten the review process, for real.

That Benchmade was probably stupid expensive. They're prices are absurd.

would you rather this knife or the ka bar dozier in d2? What do you think is better for camping and farm work and heavy dutyness ?

In my experience not any improvement over the common VG10 Spyderco uses: poor edge retention and with just stropping the edge don't come back nearly as before. I guess it is just an entry level steel for those who don't need or don't want to pay more and are perfectly happy with AUS8 or 8Cr13MoV. Get a Spy27 version as a step up instead if you don´t need the standard CPM S30V. Yes, being such a soft steel many will say it gets scary sharp easily but... for how long? Not enough at least for me.

Everyone will want the s30v in the future when they stop using it and hard to get.

Thank you. This video was very helpful. I just bought a pm2 in cruwear. I’m stoked about the hardness. I feel like I got my money’s worth.

2 years later and it definitely is not under100$ not even for the 14c28n version...

A really nice assessment based on your experience. I've kind of experienced the same as you - especially the deep patina with M4. 🤙

Had my eye on one of these for a while. Found the red colorway for 54.00. I'm seriously considering it.

For the past decade or so I've used a FourSevens Mini MA flashlight. But on a whim I picked up the Fenix E12 V2. The two lights are almost the same dimensions with the Fenix perhaps a bit thicker. The lens of the Fenix is a touch larger, too. The low and medium modes are comparable. But the high mode is two to three times brighter than the FourSevens, and covers a larger area. Five lumens are enough for the huge majority of my needs but it's nice to know the bright mode is there for those times I want or need to light up an area the size of my backyard. The Fenix is my new go-to flashlight.

Hey would you happen to know how to take water stains off k390?

Is that a fake one? Seems to me but who knows. Why not spay with wd40 and 175 psi air pressure

Very Good Knive … 👍

Ty for the vid. Dont own any seki city spydercos but looking to get one after this latest reveal. Think i'll be going for the PD1 Endela!

Have you been bullied all your life

I got two Spyderco knife.thanks for sharing 🙃

Nice review man. What’s brighter on a standard aa battery, this or your ace beam pokelit?

That knife, from what I've found, is made from 14c28n... ?

Very cool 🤩 What color did you use ?

Cruwear is slightly better than M4.I've got SPyderco Manix XL in M4 and Benchmade in Cruwear and PM2 in Cruwear and in my opiniom Cruwear is better.

I just got one they only have about 50 left.

My first Spyderco was a green Endura 4 in VG-10. I still have it and it's in the rotation. Today I found a very good price on an Endura in K390 and purchased it. I thought about the Endela after the purchase. But decided that for my use I prefer the longer and narrower blade of the Endura. I'm thinking about giving it a vinegar bath to induce a patina. My hands are medium sized and the Endura is a good fit. There's always some extra handle sticking out but doesn't bother me.

I purchased Endurance 4 Endela Warnedcliff and Rock Jumper Warnedcliff I upgraded to Titanium deep carry clips ,in 2024
