Spyderco Forums

The Paramilitary has always been comp lock so the listing is probably one of the following:
- a counterfeit
- a typo/mistake
- actually a listing for the similar looking Spyderco military that has a liner lock

If you have a local shop, I would try to get my hands on a variety and see what works best for you ergonomically. For example, the endura and the native chief are both great knives in a similar size, but the ergos on the chief just work better for me, others love the endura. It also depends greatly ...

Always good to see variety and collabs with other makers, but thick framelock flippers were never my thing. Maybe the hollow grind will help it slice, but I'll never understand 4mm stock on a folding knife.

For me it's the worker. That knife completely changed the definition of "pocketknife" and it's the image in my head when someone says "Spyderco".

In my part of the knife community, every knife company should start any introduction to a knife of interest with the blade steel and its hrc. That is a world of pertinent information. This is the nine tenths of the required knowledge lying below the surface of what we can see. Everything that Spyde...

Hmm. Compared to a g10 cbbl manix: Does it cut better? No, it's thicker with the same blade shape. Oh. It must be going for the big strong overbuilt knife thing then? No, they got rid of the steel liners entirely. Oh. it must be less expensive then? You might think so, but no, it cost noticably more...

You can only get away with poorly finished bevels, blade play, lock rock and generally poorly administered quality control for so long. The enthusiasts may just about be able to tolerate the price hikes, but if the quality of the finished product declines at the same time, people will walk away. Wh...

Lock strength has little to do with it. It's because many (most?) people play with their knives more than they cut things with their knives. Most people find the comp lock is more fun to play with, so it sells better. It's not that complicated. Judging by the cost difference between the military (MA...

I think it's a Blade HQ exclusive since nobody else is advertising it. BladeHQ called it a "limited run" in this video; skip ahead to 7:20 for the shaman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZFh4hBd360 He called it a limited run, then went on to talk about the bhq exclusive m4 jade yojumbo s...

Seems to be selling out quickly. Maybe the world is ready for a catcherman 2?

I'm not super familiar with the roadie, but here are a couple of alternatives. The urban I think is similar in price, another small slip joint and a better slicer. Not as weird though. The astute is a good bit larger but similar in price, a lot of knife for the money. It's more "normal" wh...

Love the fluted native and it would be cool to see the chaparral similarly equipped.

I'm surprised the chaparral isn't a big seller. It's an amazing design and one of their more attractive knives in my eyes. There's no accounting for taste, I guess

I hope they continue to use the chaparral to try different scales. I'd like to see some of that crazy blue rafir scale material someone posted a while ago. Now that the cf laminate version is discontinued, maybe they could do a marbled CF version.

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?

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.

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...
