Re: Help with new Dragonfly

The wharncliffe seemed like a bigger knife for sure, and while I liked it….I just couldn’t. I’m back with my old buddy. 5B88F59C-DD09-48AA-9275-53BE6A0DD3D9.jpeg Haha dude this may sound weird but when you mentioned you only carried the se h1 dfly forever and got rid of it, I was wondering if it wa...

Re: UpTern!!

Picked mine up from Fradon Lock this morning. Once again Spyderco's budget knives are 2nd to none. This thing is so well done and has such a smooth opening/closing. It drops shut. Really feels like a little bit bigger Dragonfly in hand. Good work Sal.

It sounds and looks great, but is it tip down only?
Yes, though I stopped noticing or caring about it after a decent amount of carry time.

Re: Caly Jr FRN, Excellent Knife

I have the SB variant and I think it's my favorite Spyderco. I agree with everything you said. People are always saying there needs to be a bigger Dragonfly, but I believe the Caly Jr. is it.

Got mine today and after a few open/closes it drops shut. I can't believe these were only 135. Unbelievable deal.

The definition of a perfect drop. Also if you ordered right away they shipped it so fast. I live in NY and from AL it says it'll be here tomorrow. Doesn't get much better than that!

Re: Reveal 9 Live!

It took me a minute to realize why I liked the look of the Byrd Wharncliffes but I the hole sort of matches the shape of the blade. Definitely gonna grab the Robin SE and Meadowlark PE.

Beautiful. The Dragonfly might be Sal Magnum Opus.

I swear, I'm always excited to try new Spydercos but then I carry a Dragonfly and I always wonder why I need anything else. I'm definitely going to be buying this one for sure.

Re: The ARK is probably the most high performance SE knife ever made

David, Are you planning to get the Swick? It looks to have all of the pros and none of the cons comparing it to the Ark, and you'll have your wish of a longer wharnie blade. I tried really hard to like the Ark. I wanted a good rust proof EDC fixed blade, but the Ark didn't work for me in the end. T...

Re: Dumb Guys Buy More Knives

Sometimes I'm envious of the non-knife people that still have and use the same cheap knife they've had forever. Then I remember I like the hobby too much to only carry one knife forever. I have in recent years set a rule for myself with every new knife I get I have to sell an old one while also carr...

Any of the Seki ZDP knives. The British Racing Green is close to that.

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

Vivi you're a sharpening mad scientist, man. I bought the Xtra coarse DMT stone a few weeks ago because of your video and now I happened to have that Harbor Freight 4 sided sharpener laying around. Did one knife with 300 and another with 400 and they're both screaming sharp! They were S35VN and 154c...

Re: FRN/Lightweights: I just can’t get into them

I love both FRN and G10 Spydercos. It usually comes down to the blade shape and color whether I'll buy it or not. I know no matter what I'm getting it's going to be of good quality. I can certainly understand how Albatross said the Para 3 LW felt like a toy to him. I'll never understand the "it...

Re: Dragonfly & Manbug K390

A couple things. 1) I love that the Dragonfly can fully patina now. 2) You'll be hard pressed to find another little knife as tough as this one now that it has K390. Did a handle swap with the Emerson opener d'fly and added a choil. I've been putting it to use as you can tell. :D Polish-20200920-012...

I was waiting on a new Jester to pick up my first Spyderco keychain sized knives, but the TiCN Manbug Wharnies changed all of that so now I'll definitely be grabbing a few of these.
I was waiting on a Jester too, but no longer!
