Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight SPY27-thoughts after extended use and sharpening.

[@ryanh6378]

I'd be curious to compare this to BD1N and S30V but at lower angles. Maybe 25 inclusive or something. I know S30V can get pretty chippy below 30, but I'd like to see how the others do.

[@retardno002]

Why would you compare BD1N to SPY27... They're not even close. SPY27 is pretty much S35VN but slightly easier to sharpen. BD1N is just fancy 440C...

[@Outpost_76]

I still need to get some once the Manix comes out and then I'll give an opinion of it. Definitely tool steels over stainless.

[@Merica333-e6r]

I was thinking s30v also...glad u are thinking the same thing...

[@theone031]

I think Spyderco is smoking some good stuff! Isn't the para 3 lightweight rex45 cheaper than this one? That makes NO sense lol.

[@retardno002]

9/10 people off the street who aren't knife steel nerds would pick the stainless blade over the better but rust-prone alloy any day of the week lol. That's how it makes sense...

What do you recommend getting a sharpening kit bud?. Wickededge you got there has me intrigued 🤔

[@overlandedc]

Wicked edge go is great for the money. I’ve been using it for a while now

[@5shotsr611]

@@overlandedc thank you appreciate it. Been using reg stones for years but i have arthritis now lol. I digg how you make the edge shine like glass 🤩

[@5shotsr611]

@@overlandedc what grit is that?. Forgot to ask :\

[@overlandedc]

Noisy Ol'Man my progression is 200/600/800/1000/1500/4 micron lapping films then strop down to .5 micron

[@5shotsr611]

@@overlandedc Excellent!. Thank you bud appreciate your time

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Was that a regular green compound?

[@overlandedc]

No it’s 1 micron diamond emulsion. Old strop that had green compound on it before

[@travisr.9542]

If you still have this, are you interested in trading it for something else? If so, let me know. I am looking for one.

[@bryanb4308]

27 passes per side you say? I think we know where it got it’s name!

[@jackvill7349]

Hello! I do not know much English ! can you just answer 1. is this steel good? 2. how about corrosion on this steel? good or bad ? thank !

[@lindboknifeandtool]

This is an enthusiasts steel. People who like steel and are interested in learning and experiencing more about steel. Spy27 hasn’t differentiated itself yet but it may become cheaper/ better ht and fit a role well.
