Re: Upping the price.

I’m surprised USA manufacture companies have lasted, but glad they have.

Patting myself on the back and feeling warm and fuzzy for supporting local biz … :usflag :smiling-hearts

Spyderco Golden/Scott Montrose.

Life is better with them than without them.

Re: Upping the price.

Could be a blessing in disguise. Chances are if you're on this forum, you've already got more than enough knives in your collection to keep you busy/happy as it is...you just don't know it yet. Based on the poll that was going around a couple weeks ago, the amount of people scooping up 15+ knives a...

Re: Upping the price.

If it was just Spyderco prices that increased I could handle it fine.

However, after paying taxes, insurances, utilities, groceries, and transportation …

Feels like I won’t be getting any Spyderco ... or anything material that isn’t truly necessary. :sad-but-relieved

Re: Lansky - What am I doing wrong?

With my clamp knife sharpening system I burr the edge to one side (use my fingernail to feel the burr, it will catch slightly. You will develop a better feel for it the more you do it. Also, use light reflecting off the edge to see if the edge is uniform). Then, work the burr side to create a burr o...

Re: How much did you spend on Spyderco brand products in 2023?

I didn’t total my purchases.

Between Native Chiefs, Delicas, UKPks, and mules I estimated $600-$799.

So far 2024, $0.00; but lots of great stuff on the horizon.

Crum … forgot about the Enuff 2 K390 and the Murray Carter Petty …. Revised to $1K+ :thinking

Re: Ok, could it be that LC200N fares better against Magnacut than some might think?

For me it is more a matter of “green” or “yellow”.

I do like the green one better and is what I go with.

However, I need a folder in Magnacut so I will pick up a yellow one.

Niggle on….

Re: Anyone else talk crap about how many Mules they were going to buy? And then life caught up...

Or, how many talked of jumping on the bandwagon but never did? I think lots of this goes on with the internet and not just with the mule team. I’m pretty much unchanged, been picking up occasional mule since the projects near demise (coincides with my plunge into Spyderco). Latest mule, picked up an...

Re: Does anyone have any pictures from the Spyderco booth at the 2024 Shot Show?

I watched a bunch of day one shot show vids on YouTube the other day … first ever I found the knife vids more interesting than the firearm vids(mostly at the range)! I did hear Eric say there is a Lil Native lightweight backlock with thinner blade stock … looks like another Spyderco line I’ll be col...

Re: Hitachi White Steel

I have a Muteki Funayuki Hitachi White 1 laminated in the kitchen for around a year or better now. It quickly became my favorite, impressed with how long the edge has lasted. I’ve cut lots but have used extra caution not to bang the edge into the cutting board surface - which is often glass range to...

Re: Delica 4 in 2024?

Coming from a guy on the Delica wagon … the most recurring dislike I hear regarding the Delica is grip - lack of fit in hand and misalignment with the grip humps. Fortunately this isn’t the case for me, and actually it is the exact opposite where everything aligns just right and becomes pure mojo! :...

Tough decision as there are so many good ones! I went with other - I would like to see someone pick up 4V uncoated.

For me … at this show so much other of interest that knives take a back seat ! Maybe a .44 caliber Delica 4 ….. :winking-tongue There has been much talk on the forum about a Native that lands between the Native 5 and the Native Chief which I think is a fantastic idea.
