Spyderco Forums

I have to say I'm a bit surprised at the apparent lack of interest in this. Very few posts and fell off the front page in no time. I'll be getting one to try SPY27 and to try the LW in a Native Chief.

I'm in Australia and it would be a big PITA to return. Any idea when a CQI will turn up? My preference would be if Spyderco ever do it would be a G10 with K390.

Hope this steel makes it into regular production. The new Military 2 would be a popular choice. I was done hovering over the keyboard at 3 am years ago. It took me a while to realize how stupid I was. Once you are done with FOMO there's no going back. If Spyderco make a regular production knife that...

Who knows, maybe they will produce a left handed liner lock too. If it's a high end knife with a decent profit margin maybe it would allow for the extra costs in manufacturing to do this. I imagine this should be a strong seller for Spyderco many years into the future. Initial production will sell l...

Of the 2 choices I'd buy the Chief. Why? I find S110V a beast to sharpen and I'm not keen on blurple.

Both are excellent designs and I have both. If they were both standard production models in S30V I'd get the Mille.

A compression lock knife with a 4" GB2 blade.

I personally don't like the lock. If it was a back lock or a compression lock I would own more and use them more. Also It's a pretty big and heavy knife in the pocket. The ergos are hard to improve on though.

I appreciate your replies fellas. I'll get one ordered.

I've been looking at a dragonfly warnie for a box opener. Specifically a K390.

Has anyone bought this knife for this use? How do you find it? Is there something out there that is better?

I'd buy this knife but... I'm done hovering over a keyboard. Hopefully Spyderco will relace Maxamet with 15V or add it to their range. I'm not competing with every man and his dog in a feeding frenzy. Yep, I will be disappointed not to get one but in the long term that won't matter at all. I have y...

When I recommend a sharpener, especially to someone who's not great at it I always point to the Triangle Sharpmaker. It's fast to set up. Extremely easy to use. Packs up neatly. Because of it's compact size easy to take along camping. If you have a high wear steel you can up to a set of diamond ston...

Liner locks were just fine decades ago, but nowadays there are much better designs both in strength and also operationally. First of all, the liner lock forces you to put your thumb directly in the cutting path of the closing blade. Not a good thing. Secondly, the liner lock suffers from a greater ...

Thanks for getting back Sal :-)

Question for Sal. Are we likely to see a permanent production 15V knife with the BBB heat treat? Do you expect the colab knife to be available long enough for everyone who wants to get one to be able to acquire it? I'm keen to see Pete (Cedric & Ada YouTube Channel) do his twisted sisal rope cu...

I think I failed to word this correctly. I wasn't so much looking for ones you failed to like, I meant to say "least favorite favorite" if that makes sense. Hi David, Maybe you could run another thread of your most disliked or disappointing model? That would also be an interesting one to ...

Another favourite for the list. For me it's the Manix 2. Bulky in the pocket. The lock is fiddly to use. I'd give it another try if they made a back lock again or made an XL with a back lock. I would never buy another CBBL knife.
