Spyderco Forums

So, uh, 15v delica while we wait for your collab to come out? Spyderco should come out with the "knife nerds set" - like 3-4 different models in specific steels that are optimized for the design and grind. The delica is a legend, and this is coming from someone who started with a Calypso J...

Stainless is great when you get soaked outside in the rain and you still keep working. Also great when you're cutting something moist and don't have to immediately look for something to dry your knife off with.

I know sal said "never again" - but I'd love another laminated HAP40 run of these, or even the fixed blade

Both bigbrownbear's and outdoor55's manix are pretty much wharncliffe after all the testing they've done for their YouTube channels

More 4v is great! Underrepresented right now

What is she cutting?!

Try maxamet next!

The handle on the CF/G10 stock GB2 handle has a bit of a contour to it, right? Are the ones in the exclusive just flat?

Seconds are perfect for learning to sharpen on. Get some diamond plates and you'll be fine

People are too busy using them to talk about them

Spyderco offering super blue was cool, but I rather have it in a kitchen knife (offered but lots of makers), because there's other less available steel I'd like them to use first (hap72, srs13)

$250 street price? That’s half the price of a handgun.

Can't cut with a gun

Whoa, the all ceramic mule! Don't baton with this one guys

Love that the spymoto continues the lionsteel tradition of micarta/g10 on one side, titanium on the other

Also welcome back to the profiles!

I'll take needing to flatten for faster cutting, and constant exposure to fresh abrasive. All stones will need be flattened or dressed eventually.

The sintered Spyderco stones don't dish, but they're slow, and can burnish edges. I just use them to microbevel and burr removal

Shawn, for regular nerds, do you have a preference between the CATRA hobby goinometer vs the Griotomatic one? On a side note - is there still a reason to pick Norton India and Crystolon stones in 2023? Japanese water stones work "better" and come in more grits. Diamonds in all flavors work...

I wish they'd up the base steel to 9 or 10cr or a 13c26 variant.

Does the tenacious and polestar feel that different in hand? Visually, they look very similar.

A steal at the discontinued pricing. Get them while you can. It's a Spyderco sleeper model

I got one of the stitched water buffalo belts. Nice thick and sturdy leather, good stitching, less expensive than some others. USA/Amish made. They use some interesting leathers too.

I don't like choils without "guards"

Like the ProTech Mordax - beautiful design, but I'd end up wrapping my fat index finger over the edge for sure

Yoder belts are great, especially for the price

People used to deface the markings on Pentax cameras to avoid import fees or something along the lines of that
