Enjoyed the logical and realistic insights and analysis as always. Interesting to hear about the civivi edged, I guess I was a bit late on all of these newer high quality Chinese brands. I obtained a vosteed mini nightshade recently, amazingly thin behind the edge, more like good Japanese kitchen cutlery, wish spyderco did that then they'd be about perfect I guess.
I recently bought a K390 Endela. Thinnest spyderco I bought so far. They tried with the Nilaakka...made it really thin but users complained about it. As it stands....they keep them at about 16-20T BTE at a 17-20 dps....which is not bad...compared to others. But Civivi, Manly, Real Steel...they do it much better. I'd also like to see a thin line from them
Small knives + compression lock is an ergonomic nightmare. As much as ppl like the “fidget factor” of compression locks, the sacrifice of comfort for hard tasks isn’t worth it. Just my two cents.
