Re: G-10 Hawkbill Anyone?
I like the idea, but I think all of the hawkbill models are Japanese and I don't want to pay the Japanese g10 tax. Maybe if they can make it in golden or Taichung?

Re: Weird streaks/scratch in DLC?
You may want to have a word with whomever did the sharpening. DLC is pretty tough, it's unlikely they didn't notice they did that.

Re: The Astute
The spacing of the outer two holes is close enough to Benchmade's that I'm using a two-screw Benchmade-pattern deep carry clip from MXG Gear on mine. (The middle screw position is not the same as Benchmade, so don't expect non-deep carry to work.) Thanks for the tip. This one? https://mxggear.com/c...

Re: Recommendations for a European traditionalist
In my limited experience Austrians like the endura and chaparral. I seriously wonder what the background of this statement is and what distinguishes Austrian preferences for pocket knives from other nations? Maybe I'm a little too superficial, because after almost 20 years here in the forums and es...

Glad it's back up and for the improvements. The "50 shades of grey" color palette makes it harder for me to read though.

Re: The Astute
The Astute is a fantastic design and a solid user even with its slim profile. I would like to see it with upgraded materials, maybe S35VN or M4 like the Tenacious. Also agree on more collaborations with Mr. Szakony; his design style works well with Spyderco's. Nice Hungarian. I like the matte look....

Re: The Astute
I really like the design. Pretty sure the designer is Gábor Szakony who did the Hungarian.
I would love to see more collaborations with him in the future, maybe with slightly better materials (not there's anything wrong with an inexpensive knife).

Re: How about... a saber grind PM2
I'm all for different shapes and grinds but I'm not a fan of the exclusive blade shape thing.
Cutlery Shoppe doesn't even have the wharnie pm2 page up anymore (and they usually leave them up for exclusives they plan on running again).

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
I’m getting the idea a lot of people, like me, are waiting for the SPY27…. Could this be a wake up call for Eric to order more SPY27? 😄 I am also waiting for the spy27. Nothing wrong with bd1n, but there are several upcoming models I want and don't want to blow the whole knife budget on chiefs. Alt...

Re: Recommendations for a European traditionalist
In my limited experience Austrians like the endura and chaparral. (You will meet our resident Austrian, Wartstein, presently I'm sure). You can't really go wrong with any of the models you mentioned. The native and para military families are available in different sizes and steels, although as a lef...

Re: Any recommendations?
Perhaps you would like the upcoming Lil native lightweight when it comes out. It will be lighter and has a slightly thinner blade than the regular Lil native and the rock solid golden back lock. If you're okay with a slip joint there are many good suggestions. The ukpk or the urban would be my recom...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report
I'll reserve judgement until I've had one in hand, but 1mm stock on the charisma might be too thin for me. Never thought I'd say that about a production knife. The z-cut blade is already very flexible and at 1.3mm it's 30% thicker than the charisma.

Re: Cricket Lightweight
I've never liked metal handled knives. They look pretty, but I find them cold, heavy and slippery. Even so, I've thought about picking up a cricket several times because the design is intriguing. That small reverse S looks like it would pack a lot of cutting power in a small package. I also like the...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
If the hollow grind on that second one was real it would meet in the middle long before the edge (based on the apparent stock thickness at the spydie hole).
AI seems pretty heavy on the A and light on the I so far.

Re: Q Ball fix
Is the Q Ball opening the same, better, or worse than a Dodo? I've never handled them at the save time, but I think the dodo has a more generously sized bevel/opening than the qball that allows for easier access to the ball bearing but I may be misremembering. Anyone who owns both care to chime in?
