    For some reason a few websites have 7pm MT = ( 8:30 am in Darwin ) and 9pm EST = ( 10:30 am in Darwin )

    1) is this 8:30 am Darwin Australian Wednesday morning


    This limited edition Spyderco Paramilitary 2 run will be available Tuesday March 27th at 7 PM MT (9 PM EST, 8 PM CST, 6 PM PST)



    Love the steel this knife is in and don't want to miss out on a M4 blade. These things have a tendency to sell out in 15 minutes

    You have to factor in the MDT in Colorado and the non-DST in Darwin.

    Or just use UTC.

    It is 8:15am EST right now. My app says that translates to 9:45pm in Darwin. That means 45 minutes from now will be 9:00am EST and 10:30pm in Darwin. 12 hours later would be 10:30am in Darwin.

    Thanks

    Chasing one of these. It's the blade steel that's rare and why the fuss

    I was going to say that maybe it ‘didn't Happen’, but then I remembered you already added a pic!

    Now just remember what moms around the world would say, “Careful, don’t cut yourself!” ;)

    Do you feel the DLC is better/harder/sharper ? over the regular M4 blade? If not why your choosing ?

    In a nutshell just love M4 as a steel
    M4 is a magic steel in my book. Use a knife a lot from filleting fish to dressing buffalo and would buy use M4 all day everyday.

    DLC is a great coating on M4 as it negates the tendency for the steel to be not as stainless as others for tropical use. The rust proof qualities of H1 come with edge retention issues but still a great steel and the jury is still out about LC200N as the new rustproof steel.

    Generally I am more for high carbon steels for overall sharpness and easy to sharpen and keep sharp whilst using. As you can see below the softer high carbon steels wear more but are a dream to sharpen
    Same knife one worn more

    Having one of Burt Foster,s ( US master blade smith ) knives you start to get into enveloped super high carbon content which is like the PP of the knife world.
    ( I use this beauty unlike most who would put it in a display case )

    Thanks! Anything but lamb - even my wife hates it, and she is of course an Aussie.

    Cheers!
