For those who have purchased the blade in 2014, is the edge still CPM-D2 or is it just regular D2 (It should say on the blade stamp)?

It's no longer cpm but I can tell you that this is by far my favorite knife and stays sharp. It's still well made and worth the money spent.

It's D2 - I purchased mine toward the end of last year. All in all, a good knife - I have not had a single issue with it

Mine is stamped D2, it is the JYD 2.2 now from what I understand the JYD 2 does have an edge made of CPM-D2. The version 2 is about $6 more on Amazon and can be easily distinguished by a circular pattern on the seam between the two metals where the 2.2 has a sawtooth pattern.

i hear they all ship with plain blades since last year. A few people have put that in the reviews that it is in fact a plain blade . SOG stopped shipping then in 2012. Its a great knife . I also like the ZT 170 there are some deals out there for 100 shipped. check it out.

The blade is stamped 8Cr13MoV not Sandvik 14C28N. Made in China. It does hold an edge fairly well and for $23 who is complaining. I like the knife and recommended it to several friends who are purchasing one too.

Yes it is... it has a lifetime warranty on it. My first buck was this one and I still have it. It is over 30 years old and the blade is about half the size it was originally- holds a sharp edge forever

Hi Trey, If you order the Delica 4 ZDP189, it comes in a nice box and a note/letter from Spyderco describing ZDP-189..."The PlainEdge blade is flat-ground from the spine to the cutting edge..."

They have several versions of this wonderful blade, mine was the shorter 6 5/8" x 3/16" the other is 7 1/4" x 1/4", the very 1st run was D2 steel(not many made the market)- I do like the 1095CV and the thinner steel is a lot lighter, I have the "Pot Belly" it's heavy - wonderful shape, high quality blade, the sheath needs a thin strip of deer skin or rubber to keep it from rattling

KaBar got a laser engraver last year when the new BK16, BK15, BK17 came out. they started using that instead of rollstamping like they used to. It is a genuine KaBar/Becker product.It is still slightly in the metal...I strip all my Beckers and the three I have with the new laser etching still have visible markings afterwards. You can also use PCB etchant to make it deeper BEFORE you strip it. The ESEE guys have been doing that for years.ETA...they also started using a different style coating...textured black instead of smooth. the new coating is MUCH tougher then the old, looks better too.

Mine is D2 tool steel. I do not know if they offer a mild steel version or not.

The BK-22 has the new sheath and a new upgraded blade coating. The sheath on the BK-2 is a glass filled sheath that constantly takes the edge off the blade. After numerous complaints from owners Becker redid the sheath and updated the blade coating. I would opt for the BK-22

Yes it is the same as the standard 735. As to the ware on the blades - I've planed over 300bf in the 6 years that I've had this unit. I missed a label staple on the end of a board and now have a 1/32nd hairline strip that shows and I easily clean up with a scraper. I also purchased an extra set of HSS (high speed steel) knives and put the money out ($158 for the set) for carbide edged which I only use on the last phase of the construction. I've got an older 13" planer that I use strictly for rough plane jobs and paint and varnish removal when I recycle older woodwork.

Be familar with the style of blade you are choosing and double check the product number! Somethimes the pictures are incorrect! How ever I saught out a ffg blade and not the serated combo edge! The difference really matter when u want to resharpen your knife multiple times! U get more with a non serrated blade! I knife i purchased was not serrated!

No, this isn't the next gen. fighting knife. It's a "Ka-Bar 2-1282-6 D2 Extreme Fighting Knife". Also, for 99.99% of users, this is a D2 Extreme "Utility" knife, which will last you a lifetime, and more. I say this because it's used mainly by Campers, Hikers, Survivalists, and Preppers. The D2 steel is extremely tough, and keeps a sharp edge for a long time! The Next Gen. version of this knife is made of 440, or 420 SS, so it's not as strong, and needs sharpening much more often with regular use.

No it's a solid blade. The one I received also had a straight blade as opposed to the curved one in the photo. I didn't really care though.

The unit I received had the US standard blades. Sometimes the pictures may just be a representation of the product and not the actual product.

I have no idea. Looks very similar but on http://www.blackanddeckerappliances.com/products/food-preparation/blenders/10-speed-blender-bl2010wg.aspx that I went to the blade has writing around edges and mine does not. I also wanted to tell you that I just looked at mine and it is already cracked again. Only used once or twice since got this new one. I will write review about that now. Sorry I couldn't verify. Duane.

I can't comment on the 316 since I never used it. I have Global, Shun and Calphalon Katana series knives. I've use the 315 on each. The edges are extremely sharp. I've only sharpened and polished each knife at least once but no more than twice in a years time. All I can say is that this works, the edges keep and I've had no problems. Read the instructions several times before starting as it is important to follow the process as stated.
