Looking at the weight listed I’m assuming it doesn’t have skeletonized liners… and I’m kinda curious why

It sure does look that way. Hopefully it's a copy and paste error from the crucarta or s30v models. It would be nice if it had relieved liners.

I have had a lot to think about. Although my nephew does hunt and fish, I think I am going to get him something that he can have as an everyday carry. A few years ago he mentioned a butterfly knife, but I don't even want to start researching those. Soooo, I have narrowed it down to the Pacific Salt...

Thanks for posting. I always like a good Cliff Stamp video.

SpydieChef by a large margin for me. The design and execution are excellent. It is handsome and practical with a long cutting edge for the handle size. I've carried and used mine quite a bit.

I am sure there is no singular answer for me. There are too many excellent favorites.

Birthday greetings, Darby! Hopefully spring in the north woods is grand.

Spydieholes are tingling?

Nice! Who made the scales? What is the back spacer?

Jim, that's a serious bummer. Hopefully it turns up soon.

Thanks for the info Sal. :grin-big eyes It is a very nice looking knife. The handle appears to be very well sculpted. So were these made in Seki like most of Spydercos other kitchen knives? Is MBS-26 stainless, semi-stainless, or non-stainless? I think many Japanese-made Spyderco kitchen knives are...

overall favorite folder out of all brands to this day.

Greetings, Alex! Now that's a knife!!

As with all previous discussions of such a model, I'd be all in for G10 and maybe FRN too. MC /LC, CruWear, Rex45 plz.

Yes they have done many. The Ayoob and Viele Phoenix among others in recent years.

I love the BBL implementation on the Viele Phoenix, but didn't like it on the Q-ball. I agree that the Q-ball is a great design that is hampered by the lock implementation. Functionally I prefer the CBBL of the Manix II. Aesthetically (visual and haptic), the steel BBL/ plunger assembly of the Phoen...

I find it entertaining to observe how my own tastes change over time. I used to prefer the Native 5 strongly over the Delica 4. Now I find them both to be equally excellent.

Birthday greetings, Shawn!

Not to muddy the waters, but the LW Stretch 2 is not very "LW." It's about as heavy of a "LW" as I've owned. Nice knife, but not eligible for backpacking. Those liners weigh in. This is a problem with Spyderco nomenclature. The FRN knives with liners are not truly lightweight. I...

I was just confused by the addition/non-addition of "lightweight" depending on where the description appeared (Spyderco/Knife Center), and the accompanying price difference, which was only a reflection of the 2024 price change. Oops, sorry for that. And thanks for helping out. No wonder t...

Welcome to the Forum.

As far as I know the only K390 Stretch 2 has a straight spine blade and is a LW with FRN handles.

Ref. my previous post, where I may come off a little hard on myself, I should clarify there is very little regret concerning my 2023 acquisitions. Non really... it's just how the numbers keep adding up faster than I'm able to sell off that I don't like. Stretch 1, Z-cut, Endura TRL and S2XL I've us...
