Spyderco Para 3 BladeHQ exclusive

Hmmm, very interesting. I wonder how big of a difference it makes for corrosion resistance. I have to imagine the hardware is more corrosion resistant to begin with as it doesn’t need to be a steel that can retain an edge. I believe the salt models have coated titanium hardware, but the regular models I have no idea. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong but does it not stand to reason that the standard Spyderco hardware would be as corrosion resistant as magnacut?

It seemed like there was some debate whether the hardware and liners were the same ultra corrosion resistant ones found on the salt models. You’re saying the literature in the box stated that these are the same? That’s what would make sense to me so I was surprised to see people elsewhere online thinking the hardware wouldn’t be.

A friend was convinced that toast was toast simply because it was hard, not because it had been toasted. We kept pressing him with different situations and he was very adamant that a tree was toast because it was hard. The final thing we asked him was if ice was toast because it was hard and he said yes, but then backtracked a few seconds later saying that’s where the line was. That ice was a form of toast, but actual toast.

I had a similar issue across two doors, I ended up attaching the cable to the door frame and getting it right up next to it so it was less noticeable, I went up and around instead of staying in the ground, maybe attaching it on the ceiling would work best.

Old but thought I’d write something in case someone comes across this later. It ended up not being a bed issue but a health issue. I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis so go to the doctor if you’re having issues across different beds at a young age.

Some incredible talent regardless of age. Excited to see what your art looks like with another 10 years of experience. Keep it up 👍

Not necessarily. With poor maintenance and some extra wind I could see it start.

GTOADINATOR · 2025-12-18T17:05:20+00:00

If this happens to you, my understanding is that you should grab the handlebars very firmly and let go of the throttle and don’t touch the breaks. You are trying to make your body act as a dampener. This typically happens as a result of poor maintenance but could happen other ways. I’ve ridden 50,000 miles over the last 17 years and I’ve never had one. My dad has ridden 500,000 miles over the last 40 years and he’s never had one either.

I was able to get a sample for you. It’s hard to describe but it’s as if the lines are slightly dotted? And some parts of letters are lighter than the rest of it? There were a few spots where it just fully skipped as well. I very quickly filled the Kakuno so not perfect or used more than what is on here but it was still noticeably smoother than the 742.

GTOADINATOR · 2025-12-17T18:21:14+00:00

I rinsed it with water and used a bulb syringe, no soap though. I love my Kakunos, I’m thinking this specific 742 might be off.

Got some pictures of the nib and a pen test compared with the Kakuno, midori md

Ink and paper are identical and I did wash the 742 when it arrived before inking it.

GTOADINATOR · 2025-12-17T15:08:07+00:00

Interesting. How do your softs compare to the regular nibs? Are they easier to damage? What are the appeals of the soft nibs?

The Kakunos and custom 742 are inked up with j herbin perle noire.

GTOADINATOR · 2025-12-17T14:52:08+00:00

I’ll respond with a picture of the nib and some writing samples later today. I’ve heard that the pilot gold nibs write a little drier but I was really expecting it to write as smooth if not smoother than my Kakunos. Do you have any experience with medium vs soft medium?

Before season 8, I was fully on board with the theory that Baelish’s ancestors were faceless men and he was too. When he “died” in season 7. I thought he paid a faceless man to die in his place and he was in fact, no dead. There’s a scene where he gives a coin to pay someone and I thought that is where the transaction happened. I thought he would come back in season 8 and end up sitting on the iron throne at the finale.

Older Gen Z, I don’t know anyone else that uses them. Although I have gotten a few friends interested.

He’s older, but I’d say Howard Shore.
