I couldnt fix the Spyderco because I cant get the danged thing apart, the strider wasnt loctited anywhere except the pivot ( i made a pivot tool) The southards pivot screws stripped too, oh well, out of rotation for now (im not missing it :O )Īt this stage, lockup is around 75%. The southard got a nice big chip and significantly more edge dulling than the strider (you could see the apex of both knives, more so on the southard), this is what I mean by high toughness lasting longer than High wear in my job. they were opening dry mix Grout, and scraping expansion foam off the walls ( bit of scraping along concrete too. Its the worst stuff any of my knives have gone through. This is in cleaned up state, about 5 days before the vigorous 1 hour cleaning it looked like this: Here is the Knife after about 2 months, as a guess: Heres a pic from working on site with seismic strengthening, scungy ****ty tape Also by this stage (3 weeks?) its broken in very smooth. Didnt make it that much less pretty, in fact, i think wear makes it prettierĪfter a few days of medium to light use, and mucking around cutting Corrugated iron, stabbing a freezer, breaking shells, stabbing cans, (steel and alu) battoning, The lock up is maybe 70%, mainly from the battoning, still rock solid though. Wood, Cardboard, ropes, metals, using the spine as a scraper and weld splatter remover (lol) and other stuff. I sanded the tip back, which meant a satin finished spine, I aked mick if my warranty was still in tact, he said its fineĪt this stage, the coating has wear from every day use. The steel still held up to everything thrown at it, untill one day I pried a weld off a piece or UB beam, and snapped a bit of tip off, whoops :p. The fun thing with black oxide is that its kind of abrasive, looks cool when you cut up an alu can, the alu comes off on the bladeĪs the days went by, the angle of the edge got steeper each time I reset the backbevel (on purpose) it is in this picture, probably close to what it is at this current time, 16 back, 19 edge. To this day, I still cant feel the toe next to the pinky toe from tip to wound. Pass a few days of fondling and breaking it in, I put it loose in my pocket, have a shower, when I finish I fold my pants up and the knife slips out and SOMEHOW it opened when it hit my foot Out of box the lock was about 65%, it stayed at 65%
The knife still held up well as per expected. I used this opportunity to drop the bevel angleĪbout 18 per side with a 21 per side micro- freehanded. When I destroyed the phone, the edge dulled, no damage. Its toughness means it holds an edge longer than the high wear steels in rough use, and it doesnt easily get damaged with rough use at all. Basically, I destroy a phone in that video. sorry for the bad quality, my mom accidentally took my phone to another city instead of hers that day. Around 5 minutes after opening it, fondling it, and enjoying it, I destroyed a phone with it, I was saving that phone from the day I paid for it. The edge angle was about 22 degrees per side (dps). Out of box sharpness was shaving, felt a little overbuffed, but better than some knives come with. It was pretty dang smooth, not my smoothest (spoiled by bearing flippers). Upon opening I just couldnt help but do one of those giddy excited yelps. Paypal took 17 days to refund me, so he sent it anyway, and I sent the money back (also made 20 bux as the exchange rate changed at some stage ) My Strider arrived from Canada, Im the second owner, the first owner wanted to sell it, then had sellers remorse and asked if we could undo what was done.
