Re: Byrd Self Protection Blade Question

Agree Sal

Guess I’m old school.
My training & life experience taught me never bring a knife to a gun fight.
But I do agree if your life is being threatened and you don’t have a firearm use whatever you can to stop the threat.

Re: Byrd Rust Resistance?

Excellent. I have carried a Byrd Harrier 2 out on the Atlantic Ocean fishing many times. I just rinse with some soap and warm water at the end of the day. No issues with rust or pitting.

Re: Byrd Self Protection Blade Question

No side is right.

Get a firearm carry permit if you really want to protect
yourself or loved ones. My knife would only come into the equation if my firearm malfunctions or my firearm is no longer in my possession.

Re: What is your all time favorite steel?

I have been loving K390 and it got a lot of EDC time until
I got a Endela in Micro Melt PD1.

Micro Melt is a great carry steel. Excellent corrosion resistance, keeps a nice edge and it’s very easy to strop to bring it back to shaving hair.

I would like to see Spyderco offer more Micro Melt PD1 ...

Hi Mikey177

Is that Micro Melt PD1 blade on your Black Endela taken off the recent burgundy sprint run ? Looks great in all black.

Re: Seki quality follow up

I have a year old Delica Wharncliffe K390 & a three week old Endela Sprint Micro Melt PD1.

Quality of both have been very good. No Blade Rock,
Edge on both were perfect, no side play & very smooth action. I would give Seki City a AAA+++

Keep up the great work !!!

Re: Micro-Melt PD#1 Burgundy Sprint Run Spydies In Stk

Been carrying the Sprint Endela the last three weeks.

Loving the Plum/Burgandy FRN. It really goes well with the black blade & black hardware.

Only had it three weeks but I’m really liking the Micro Melt PD#1. Reminds me of CruWear.

Glad I picked it up before you can only get them on eBay for ...

Re: Micro-Melt PD#1 Burgundy Sprint Run Spydies In Stk

Bought a Sprint Endela 2 weeks ago. Liked it so much I ordered a Delica today.
Friend tried to buy a Sprint Delica and it was sold out in a few hours. Hopefully Spyderco ships more out 🙂
Have to Love Spyderco Sprint runs.

Re: Micro-Melt PD#1 Burgundy Sprint Run Spydies In Stk

How many sprint knives are produced for each model ?
I heard 1,200 each ?

I picked up two Sprint Endela’s during Spyderco’s two day summer sale last week. One for my son & one for myself. Love it !!

Burgundy looks great with the black blade/hardware. Finally getting to test out some Micro Melt ...

Wear it as a badge of honor.
I enjoy looking at pictures on this forum of knives that have been carried & USED.
Those knives tell a story.

Blacked out Cruwear versions of all of these Seki models would be fantastic. Or even just TiCN coated Cruwear with a different color FRN like Foliage, OD, etc. Add the Jester, Dragonfly, and Wharnies to this list as well

John,

Would a Native 5 LW blackout hold you over - https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C41BBK5/Native-5-FRN-Black-Black-Blade/931 ? All black DLC and FFG like you're asking for, plus American made with a little better blade steel too.


Thanks ugaarguy. Yes I was looking at that Native ...
