Spyderco HAP40 Thread

Delica somehow doesn't feel right for my hand. Have tried two of them that belongs to a friend. Stretch is a bit too expensive for me given the existing exchange rate.
I'm lucky to get one of the last few Endura available (is the Endura runs all finished?).
 
All gone brother, there's a few places to find em at full msrp, which is better then what they're going to be priced at on eBay by the end of the year.

The sprints seem to have followed the same order from super blue, Endura, Delica, stretch, dragonfly, ladybug, man bug

There are a couple of Enduras still floating around. The Delica's went MUCH faster and the Stretches also seem to be going quite fast.
 
Early morning knife haul... I love my local shop. Handpicking is fun. ;)

Two new friends to play with. Stretch #1 I got in yesterday will likely get gifted or put on the exchange in the near future. Loving this color!

Niiiiiiccccceeeeeee!!!

Do they have any more Delica's? Or did you already have that..
 
As much as I love the Delica I couldn't resist. They actually had a couple left... Held an Inkosi too which I was curious about so I've already knife-gasmed by 10AM CST lol. I need a smoke...

[emoji23] knife-gasm
 
Pre ordered a delica months ahead, snatched an endura due to impatience, passed on the stretch, pre ordered 2 dragonfilys.
Considering the bugs...
 
Found Delica's on the for sale section.. Just found 2 more today. (Thanks uofaengr)
Snagged a Endura and 2 Stretch..
On pre order for 2 DF's..
Mize well finish it out and get both bugs! Lol..

Help!!!!!! Haha
 
Get these HSS blades while you can because popular (uninformed) opinion favors SS, they will dry up.

Received my Endura HAP40. With the Superblue, it's one of the best fit & finish.
There's a slight primary grind assymetry where the right side is ground a bit more, so the tip is not 100% centered, also can be seen that the laminated line is higher on the right side. This is with the edge down, tip away, the tip is tiny bit to the left. Those who has uneven laminate might want to check this possible cause.
Not affecting function at all and I'm happy with it as it is.

Anyone has information on why the laminate is not 420J but SUS 410?

It's a better Laminate for San Mai then 420j2

It is tougher and is not a knife steel.

420j2 can be hardened for fillet knives

Murray Carter argues that commercial 420j2 tempered hardeneds to 53 hrc which is too hard for a laminate, he also uses SUS410 stainless
And 1035 for carbon laminate.
 
This tread just caused me to place on order for a HAP40 Stretch. It remains to be seen if it can kick the Byrd Cara Cara FRN out of my back pocket? But we're going to give it a chance. ;)
 
...completely missed the Delica and Endura releases. Had to "settle" for a Stretch....
