Spyderco PMII S30V or S35VN?

Will folks who buy sebenzas really pry and use them as screwdrivers?

If this has never happened CRK never would have got blades sent in for tip repair. It is minimal but i'm sure the numbers would go up as blade hardness increases. The sebenza thickens at the tip and there is a reason for it.

Haha, true. Wonder why that happens with Sebenzas...

You mean Mr. Reeve tweaked a spec on his knife just to address a minimally occuring situation?
 
No, it's a combination of reasons that's one of them. I.E ease if sharpening, finish ,machining and many more I'm sure.
 
He said that the hollow grind wheel rotates up when it gets close to the tip, and this reinforces it and leaves more material at the point, the thickness behind the edge changes from plunge to near

I'm sure he makes a very good knife but grinding something will never reinforce it. His technique may weaken the tip less, but taking off material will never reinforce it.
 
I don't think you get my point, pardon the pun. You could always look it up if you don't want to take my word for it. Or better yet, call CRK and maybe they can explain it to you better then I can.

I got it all right I just didn't agree with it. :)
 
So, you are saying you don't agree with how CRK hollow grinds their blades? You can ask anyone who owns a large Sebenza 21.

I don't agree that taking off material reinforces something, whoever it is that does the taking off. ;)

It's a simple statement of physics. Don't make it about CRK.
 
Do your research and learn something. Look up how hollow grinds are done. Read my posts again, I explain how it thickens near the tip. I never said taking off material. I said wheel rotates up.

I know how hollow grinds are done but no matter what, grinding wheels never add material. Grinding always removes material. If YOU do your research, you''l find that more material means more strength. Less material means less strength. Grinding takes off material, less material left less strength. There's no two ways about that.

I'm pretty sure what CRK said was that his hollow ground made for thinner edges but LEFT ENOUGH MATERIAL AT AND AROUND THE TIP TO KEEP IT STRONG. Which is an entire universe away from grinding material around the tip, to reinforce it. Go ask any engineer. Maybe you just misunderstood what CRK said.
 
You still aren't getting what I'm trying to say. You are looking to argue and nit pick, so I'm moving on.
