After I bought a razor sharp Delica 4 PE a few weeks ago I really was interested the famous spyder edge. Just received my Native whit a full SE. It’s the CPMS30V one. I don’t know if it is the steel or the edge, the thing good to clothes and wood like its not even there! I’m shocked by its performance.

It’s a factory second but I really don't have any idea why it's a factory second!? I will do some microscopic research next to a 'normal' one at the local knife shop. Will let you know. The only thing I can detect is the very aggressive edge. It’s the same as the Spyder edge one the Native 3 FRN, with is in VG-10. It’s a lot deeper and pointier than the CPMS30V must be. (I only know this by looking at the pictures on the Spyderco website) Can anyone tell me why this is the case!? Maybe the reason why it’s a factory second!?

I’m probably hocked on Spyderco’s now! My next one will probably be a mini-Manix for ist robustness or a Paramilitary for the one hand lock. Like to see them Delica next to a Mini-Manix and/or a Paramilitary. If someone got any pictures please send me. Also a review/compressing from a Mini-Manix next to a Para will be nice. Will do some searching but tips are welcome.
 
Here's a hint....don't let the 30v blade get dull! Keep it touched up on a regular basis. I found this out the hard way with my Dodo.
 
Spyderedge is amazing at long term aggressive cutting. My only issue is the small PE portion at the tip. I can never seem to keep that sharp.
 
But how about the more aggessive SE ot the VG-10 over the CPMS30V on my fectory second!? It's a lot differend then the Spyderco.com pictures.

Mentioned this in my other post where i started this thread.
