Re: Cleaning pocket knives. by vivi » Tue Oct 08, 2024 6:56 pm. I agree, keep it simple: - Mineral oil for lube or coating carbon blades. - Q tips for cleaning pivots and lubing them. - Hot soap and water + green scouring pads to clean scales loaded with grease and oils (everyones micarta here lol) - bar keepers friend to scrub away rust.
Clip is t-6 and pivets are usually t-10. by The Deacon » Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:13 pm. Torx screws on Spyderco three screw clips are all T-6. Those on the wire clips vary, some are T-8, some T-9, and there may even be some T-10's out there.
It depends on many factors: 15 degrees is a good angle for most pocket knives. It will cut very well but still be relatively forgiving if you accidently bump the edge into metal. 20 degrees will give you a stronger edge while sacrificing some cutting ability. 10 degrees is what I use.
For folders that I use for food: + I try not to cut anything truly disgusting with them. + I clean them with soap and hot water frequently. + I only use mineral oil for lube. Like Ankerson suggested I use fixed blades when I can. Victorinox Paring knives are $5, outcut just about any folder on the market and there are simple kydex sheaths ...
Spyderco has been constantly refining pocket knives for 40 years now, and certain design features have been proven to be ideal in terms of knife performance and ergonomics.-Thumb hole-fairly broad FFG blade-4 way pocket clip-G10 or FRN handle -Contoured/curved grip -Compression or backlock
The Native 5 is thicker in the pocket, but due to having no hump, it isn't as wide in the pocket. The Native is also shorter when closed. Due to the choil and lack of blade hump, the Native 5 has more flexible grip options. If you like to put your thumb on the spine of the blade like I do, you'll like the Native 5.
Etc. It's like going out to clear trails and using an Endura, intentionally. Everyone should try out a nice japanese gyuto with 2mm stock. Or, if they're not willing to dish out the $$, grab a Kiwi 172 or a zcut. Absolute laser beams for $5-20 that'll make a 3mm FFG folder feel like a splitting maul.
But ingot steels with a large volume of large carbides (think traditional ATS-34, D2, 440C) get edges around 25 dps (range 20-30 dps). Finally, PM steels with a large volume of small carbides may ideally be sharpened around 16 dps (range 12-20 dps). It's an interesting method of matching edge angle to steel type.

Other pocket knives hard use vs Spyderco hard use knives. by jackknifeh » Thu Jul 18, 2013 12:49 pm. First, hard use is a relative term and never to be confused with hard use when talking about fixed blades. For a change of pace I just ordered a Queen small lockback knife (3" closed). I like a traditional type knife sometimes but it almost HAS ...
