Spyderco Forums

These 86s are great. So are that Shaman. :spyder: One of each "production" and one each an SFO or Sprint. All four just great knives. :cool: The Sharpmaker has allowed me to not care about slight recurve on the 86 clip main blade and even enjoy the shape. Especially with 1095, it just isn't a chore ...

Five knives is normal, right? These are currently five of my favorite edc knives.

Yeah, sure.
Some days you just need four or more different shapes and grinds, or steels.

Big con rod? Little knife.

I've been looking at the Gransfors Bruk Small forest or or Scandinavian Forest Axe for a bushcraft axe; something easy enough to throw onto a backpack. Would love to hear pros and cons of each! I instinctively go for the Forest Axe. I only like the 19 inch axe handles for hewing tasks, not chopping...

This could be the Knife.

Haha haha.

While it may be cool, I don't see anyone around here being happy with 'just' one knife.

Looking good. The Eureka Jack pairs so well with a modern. Did your new GEC arrive?

Just a couple in my case, but they are among my best and favorite folding knives. Would definitely go for a Cruwear Chief to round out the family.

Had a nice mellow nordic ski today with the old lady.

Got this one from my son for Christmas. It's done a great job!

I like stacked leather handles. Lookin' good.

Nice pair. I have contemplated the WolfSpyder but haven't bought nor handled one.

Next idea: Make the very first batch of the Caly 3.5 LW the 2020 forum knife by giving it a special handle color or whatever ...

Hi Larrin,

Bob will send a sample to you.

Great!

Very cool, indeed! Thanks Sal and Larrin.

Maybe off topic but I hope Shawn gets some to test too!

I agree! Maybe Sal can ask Bob to send some to Shawn too.

I'd like a very deep purple linen micarta handled Ti bolstered Shaman with Cruwear. Minimal 2020 blade etch in lieu of Sal's makers mark.
