Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?

Sunflower seed package for garden. Opened a letter and broke down a box as well before that today. K390 Endella which continues to impress, and I continue to carry it.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Ordered another K390 Delica last night after gifting my old one to a good friend and Neighbor. Kept meaning to replace it at some point. This rounds out my current K390 collection of Endura, Endealla, and most recently Stretch straight spine. Really enjoy the steel (although it was the reason that I...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?

This may be controversial, but I think the Military 2 is currently the quintessential Spyderco, representing its current design language. Sorry Boomers ;) Gen X! :tonque-out And I will be adding a Military 2 as well when I find the steel/handle combo that grabs me. I have the RIL carbon S90V exclus...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?

The Delica suggestions are spot on. It is the quentissial medium pocket knife. Consider the steel and grab K390 if you can find it if you aren’t worried about a bit of patina and know how to take care of it. It’s a tough little knife but if you desire a bit tougher the Native will do it with just a...

Re: Good second Spyderco

Delica 4 would be my choice but I can see you already pulled the trigger. I am down to one as I keep gifting them to friends/family after using for a while (one that I need to locate now that I think about it, need to dig through the knife storage, I have a M390 red and black lady bug looking one th...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?

Delica/Endura but I have owned them since the 90s. Still love the FRN lock backs, especially in K390. This is what comes to mind when I think classic (I refer to the FRN family as “old school new school”). Has stood the test of time. My last knife purchased after a year between purchases was last we...

BladeHQ Endura M4 Mint Satin.
Received today. I have to say that I really like the mint scales and this will only be my second M4 blade. I'm very glad I jumped on this sale.
M4 was my gateway drug to K390!
Good stuff!

K390 Stretch 2 should arrive today. I already have same steel in Endella, expecting this to be very similar all around

Re: How many Spydercos do you need to feel like your collection is complete?

I have slowed down to one or two knife purchases per year but Spyderco is what I usually chose to scratch the itch.

Re: Finally found my Grail Spydie!

A PM2 in M4 was it for me…being a Aussie it was always missed or dealers wouldn’t ship to Australia in the day..(yes 2018 it was hard to get knives from nearly all dealers except BHQ or Knifecenter) Wasn’t playing EBay double prices and had the GB1 already so time could pass by… Then finally in 201...

Re: Does you S.O. asks you this question?

We have a don’t ask don’t tell policy. I ship mine to work and she buys what she wants with her own money without me questioning her purchases. As long as bills are paid and saving money nothing wrong with some discretionary spending.

I have the K390 Delica as well. Was the blade stock thinner than other Delicas?
