Re: Para 3 lightweight
So glad to hear the positive reviews of the para 3 lightweight. I'm all about weight savings, and have really tossed around the idea of picking one of these up. I currently have a para 3 in G 10, so those of you that have both if you had to give one up for the other which would it be?

Re: mid sized "gentleman" folder
Though having a pretty robust blade, I consider the Lil Native my gentleman's knife.

Re: New “PM2” Possible Fake??
Have to agree. One of the best discount programs I have ever seen. Only problem is I can't just buy one knife.

Re: Cara Cara 2 thoughts
Picked up a Cara Cara 2 a couple of weeks ago because I wanted a light, inexpensive yard/work knife. I got the combo edge as I cut vines and rope. I have found the tip to be a little thin for my liking. I have already got a slight bend in the very tip.

Re: Lil native
I have a Lil Native compression lock and it definitely has nested stainless steel liners. I have not had it long enough to put it to any hard use, but it is very firm in hand, and should hold up well.

Re: Back in the fold
I found I had drifted away myself. Back in February I picked up a zome green Delica 4, and it sort of was the spark that re-lit the fire. I have owned other knives over the years, but Spyderco dominates my collection.

Re: Byrd Harrier (2019)
Sal, thank you for the reply. Makes sense when you break it down. I'm sure I will pick one up when they become available.

Re: Byrd Harrier (2019)
So based on the reported specs it's a little longer than the Meadowlark 2, and a bit smaller than the Cara Cara 2. Not sure the intended purpose.

Re: Is there a BYRD in your pocket??
I always had a special affection for the Delica. It's just a knife that seems to fit my hand, is lightweight, and smooth deployment. I wanted to try out the Byrd line, so I picked up a Meadowlark 2 in G10. I must say I'm impressed. It may actually feel better in my hand then my Delica, only time wil...

Re: Spyderco Stretch in action
I don't own one, but I'd like to. Just looking at the differences between the stretch and a stretch 2 I prefer the stretch. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open to see if I can find one sooner or later. Bento Box Shop still has Stretch 1 in stock. VG 10 as well as HAP 40 (Again: If posting such inf...

Re: Cara Cara 2 very stiff.
Well I decided to break it down, I gave it a good cleaning and minor polish. I figured no more than it cost I really wouldn't be out much one way or the other. Much improved now, as it was pretty gummed up.

Re: Cara Cara 2 very stiff.
I have adjusted the lock bar pivot screw. I'll check for a burr.

Re: Cara Cara 2 very stiff.
It's virtually impossible for me to depress the the lock and open the knife at the same time. When I can gey positioned in a way that I can open it anf hold the lock, it opens pretty well. May be I'm just expecting to much based off my Endura's and Delia's.

Cara Cara 2 very stiff.
Just got a new Cara Cara 2 FRN, and it is very stiff opening. I have flushed out the pivot with 70/30 isopropyl alcohol, then blew it out with compressed air, and oiled it. I have lossened the pivot screw to the point it has a lot end play in the blade. I have also found the lock to be very tight. W...

Re: Birthday coming up - thinking of a small EDC Spydie...
I was looking for a light weight, good looking knife with a blade length of 2-2.75". Really wanted something that would blend in with any attire, and after having a Para 3 I knew it had to be a compression lock. The Lil' Native seem to check off all the boxes. I have only carried it one day, bu...

Lil Native, big on form.
I ordered the Lil Native compression lock last week from Spyderco. I have anxiously been waiting its arrival and that day was yesterday. I must say I am very pleased with it. It's what I wanted my dragonfly to be. Don't get me wrong, the DF2 is a great little knife, it just wasn't for me. I'm lookin...

Re: 4 new knives all very dry.
I've noticed the most oil on models straight out of Seki. I don't recall seeing it on anything from Golden, but I'm probably wrong. Either way, I have yet to see a hint of corrosion on anything from Spyderco, even HAP40 and V-Toku. I'm not worried about corrosion, never had an issue with any of my ...
