What is the difference between these and the Martin Marquis silk and steel?

I'm not sure but they look the same to me. It says they are the same gauge. The ones I got are all silver color and have a nice feel to them.

I believe the Marquis strings are wrapped with silk near the ball of the string, so they don't cut into the wood on the bridge as bad.

I prefer the Heavy Duty MG because the handle on the robust is thicker than I need it to be. No difference in blade thickness or performance at all. I want to be able to have a good grip on the knife when in use.

The Viper SD is the lighter version - it has more aluminum construction (instead of steel.) I have the SD - my son has the classic - and I think the steel one is 4 to 6 pounds heavier. It doesn't make a difference in terms of stability on the tree, but a lighter stand is easier to carry into the woods for long distance, and easier to manipulate while climbing. The steel version can get some surface rust so it requires some watching (and occasional maintenance/sanding/repainting if you feel like it...but that would be as years of hard use accumulate.) I ***LOVE*** my Viper SD. Well worth the money, and an absolute "must" for deer hunting in certain areas of the country.

Nothing that I can tell except price. If there is something different between the two it is well hidden. The both have the same dimensions, construction material, etc. I personally am buying the $6.97 version and have been very happy with them. I also got one of the 1312 versions and feel I wasted 4 bucks.

I believe the steel is from japan an the knife is manufactured in sweden. It is a solid knife. Similar to spyderco who commission steel from japan, like everything there are different qualities no matter where it might, or might not come from.

I haven't played both guitars, therefore I cannot offer an educated / comparative reply. I purchased the LX1 for my 4 year old grandson because I'm hoping that he shows some interest in learning how to play as he get's a bit older. From experience, I know that trying to learn on a cheap, horrible sounding instrument isn't much fun. I've owned Martin guitars for decades and believe in their quality - but quite frankly, my reasoning behind this purchase was based mostly on personal preference. Taylor crafts beautiful, high quality instruments and I have no doubt that their Baby Taylor exemplifies this.

I find that different materials have their own special plus and minus. that being said the swiss army by victorinox is stainless steel. it retains a fine edge. I can get mine about as sharp as a shaving razor using my lansky's sticks and a few strops of a leather belt. it doesn't stain as carbon steel blades. I do like carbon steel blades better. I can get them a little sharper than stainless. the reason I like carbon steel blades is the fact that you can strike a fire better, they throw more sparks and touchups on the blade are a little easier. for a very good pocket knife I always pick swiss army by victorinox. I have had three of them over the past 25 years with no problems. one time I broke the reamer on the back of the knife,and sent it in to have it fix, they sent me back a new knife at no charge and that's after I had used the first one for 10 years! can't say enough about the quality of their products and the service they provide. if you practice on sharping your knife according to the instructions on the lansky's sharping system this knife with the stainless steel blades will never fail you.

D2 Steel is harder which provides a longer edge retention than 1095 but since it is a harder steel once it does need sharpening it may take slightly longer to bring the edge back.1095 is easier to sharpen but will need sharpening more often. Each is a trade off that comes down to personal choice.

Made in China. You have the FENDER ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENT LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY. In my opinion, these are better sounding than the Seagull or Teton acoustics. The Martin guitars are a step above the Fenders acoustics. Thanks Jason.

Steel. It has nice, clear tones but it can be difficult to get the strings depressed fully.

Well when I bought the rigid I was in the same boat as you. you can't go wrong with either one but you get more bang for the buck what the German made ridgid. The steel in the rigid is stronger.

The more expensive knife has a solid brass end cap, a more expensive wood handle and weighs about 3 ounces more. I love the knife, it will last a lifetime.

I've talked to someone who owns both, and read numerous reviews. No one can find a material difference. Seems to be a case of OEM rebranding.

It is, but not a whole lot heavier. I think the rosewood is denser than fibrox. I have bought both versions of this knife and truth be told the rosewood one definetly feels more balanced

Almost nothing. The only thing is which gimmick do you believe, silk infused or pearl infused. I really don't think that makes much of a difference. I have the silk ones and I really do like them though.

Anywhere, Amazon if you like. There are so many styles to choose from. It all depends on personal sound and comfort preference. This model will take steel strings. Other smaller models will only take nylon. I found that silk and nickle wound strings are gentle on little fingers.

The f15 is a tanto and has a slightly larger handle and blade. The other difference is the steel f15 has 8cr13 and the f16 has the better edge holding 9cr18. I went for the f16 to try out the 9cr18. If you like the f15 chk out the f32 aswell.
