Hi! I have the titanium version that will never fit my woman's pocket. So I got rid of the pocket clip and made a kydex sheath for it. Now I carry it horizontally on my belt and it's great! I don't feel it, the grip is more comfortable and I can enjoy a longer blade. Take care, Irène.

That "english green" one, is that not cadet grey in colour? I have several Ganzo 729, those are PM2 clones, in cadet grey. Cadet grey is known as well as "confederate grey". The lighting conditions in the video sometimes give a green hue and then again and rather cadet grey colour. I chose cadet grey (which is very similar to "light slate grey") since that colour is about the best to hide dust and dirt. As I live in an hot and dusty and dirt particles climate, I adjusted the colours to hide best any dust. Black gets quickly looking dirty and so does obviously orange. I have a few in darker green of these Ganzo 729 models as well which is a very nice colour but I have no idea how quickly it will look dirty. Specially ashes in the air from burning wild fires are visible on an darker handle so cadet grey is by far the best colour. I never saw my cadet grey knife dirty but my black handle knives have all indentures in the scales full of whitish dust/sand which is noticeable and looks bad. The Ganzo 729 has an edge grind angle of 17.5 degrees as I just measured it. Exactly as the Spyderco PM2 original. These Paramilitary 2 are the best cutters in the word and as well the Ganzo 729 cuts 3 times better than the flat grind DuraTech knife which has an 23 degrees of edge angle. The blade geometry of the PM2 and Military leaf blade makes all the difference. These Ganzos 729 are in 440C steel, 58 HRC and cost around 22$. They have the McHenry-Williams lock, aka Axis Lock which I prefer over the compression or liner lock by far.

RJO - Great to see you back on YT. I've missed your videos! I am thinking about picking up a new Spyderco in the near future... Para3, PM2, Manix 2, Military, Sage, Native 5, Lil Native... I'm not sure? Looking for something a little more premium than my Delica4 for EDC. I am looking for a steel that is solid all-around - good corrosion resistance, not impossible to sharpen and holds an edge very well, so I am thinking M390, S30V or maybe S110V or S90V? What are your thoughts? I was considering Maxamet or CruWear, but I don't know enough about those and heard that one or both of those will petina and rust pretty easily from fingerprints. I like to play with my EDC blades, especially when it's got something like the compression lock, so a steel with that characteristic wouldn't be ideal.

Lagotto Operator hey man sorry I just saw this I’ve been offline for a while! If it’s not too late, I’ve actually come full circle myself lately and I’m all about the knife as a total package for the dollars you spend vs. getting caught up in blade steel frenzy. I’m all about high end blade steels, but it’s got to be a knife I love and enjoy using and something I’m proud to own and show off. For that purpose no matter what I try, I keep coming back to my S30V PM2’s for edc users. The Sage 2 is an all time absolute favorite too. Phenomenal knife. The Spydiechef has been next on my high end list for quite some time now it’s just a work of art, yet also can serve a solid function especially here in Florida. Id say go for the knife platform that makes you smile the most. Another phenomenal knife to check out is the fox tur in elmax. Crazy good value.

@rangerjonoutdoors64296 жыл бұрын
Hey John great question I forgot to mention that in my vid but NO. I think people make way too much out of that. The fine point on these knives has been amazing as a tool for doing fine things with it. I’ve put a hurting on the tips too. No issues. However if you try to pry up a big staple or something like that they’ll definitely snap, but lateral force like that will snap the tip off even some more robust “tips” on other knives. If you just use the knife to cut things and don’t pry on that tip or try to use it as a screwdriver then I don’t think you’re going to hurt it. Haha actually though I HAVE used the fine tip as a screwdriver for my eyeglasses many times so there’s a good example of it’s usefulness and obviously the tiny eyeglass screws aren’t going to hurt anything.

Holy crap this is the knife I have lmao. I bought a Spyderco from some back woods knife shop and the owner didn’t know what it was. But this knife felt amazing. This is coming from a dude who owns every Chris Reeves knife+ a lot of mid techs and customs over $1200 and up. I knew it wasn’t a pm1 or 2 but there was no other Spyderco knife that looked like it other than those two. So I just concluded that someone modded it to have a linear lock rather than the compression lock. Which wasn’t a bad thing imo. I have the same view about linear locks. If you’re beating on the back of your blade...you’re either very well misinformed on how to use a knife or you just need to go an get a fixed blade already and stop breaking your knives lol. Anyways thanks for clearing this up for me man. Glad i own such an awesome knife.

spyderco is a hyped brand that is not really worth the money. Firstly, at the beginning, the production was apparently good in terms of the quality of the goods, not to say that it was super, but the goods were good. Today, it is beyond insanity in the sense that on some products one metal liner is installed, respectively, the blade fastening on one side is held only in the G-10 plastic handle, but this is not the limit, pay attention to the blade stop, or rather, what the blade rests on the metal stop is not even a screw, but just an stop that is not inserted into the metal liner, but simply into the plastic handle, at the slightest increase or slight pressure, this pin will fly out and break the handle at best. I assume that in the near future spyderco will get worse and worse in quality and reliability. In the end, the knife must be at least a little reliable, which unfortunately cannot be said about spyderco at the moment.
@lindboknifeandtool2 жыл бұрын
The barrel spacers are riding on stainless liners. The liners are like that of the bugout, bracing surfaces are metal. With the tension of the screws on the pivot and body, that stop pin will not fail. It’s called a floating stop pin, and actually provides longer life. A screwed in barrel spacer as a stop pin will eventually shear at the fastener. Also, spyderco heat treats all of their steels probably the best in the business. If there’s a steel that has a working hardness of 58-60 hrc, they’re going with 60-61. They have proven themselves to not cut any corners. They really made me take a second look at benchmade and their value. Spyderco provides the best value. You can get a delica k390 for $115. That’s a 9% vanadium, 65 hrc, tool steel ground to sub 15 thousandths of an inch. For benchmade to provide a 9% vanadium steel, double the price. For spyderco to do it, add $20.
