Spyderco Forums

Respectfully i have enduras in both and i say NO NO NO NO NO!!! they are both great! I could see both side by side, but they are unique enough imho to NEED both. I would just hate to see the ZDP endura go away. I would equally love for everyone to get an expanded opportunity to own one in hap40 howe...

I picked up an endura 4 in ZDP-189 after some time i realized it was in my right pocket every single day. My native 5s rotate through my left pocket. Then i pulled the trigger on a hap-40 endura. And much to my surprise the hap40 has replaced my zdp in my right pocket, and the zdp is now tucked in m...

Hi all. I do NOT consider myself any kind of sharpening expert! Anyway, i picked up a few super steel Spydies, S110V, Maxamet, ZDP-189, even Hap40. I watched some videos from Mr Christy, Big Brown Bear (Bearfacedkiller here i think) and even some rants on how bad they are to sharpen. I made sure to ...

Mr Glesser This is my firat day on the forum, and i appreciate your class and grace. I would like to say i love my Spydercos! They have been a tremendous addition to my knife collection! Although i admit my collection may only grow with additional Spyderco purchases! Yes i am traditional and it took...

Well done, and sincere thanks!

I see the carrying 3 knives is perfectly normal...is 4 too much? Lol i mean one in the boot one on the belt and one in both front pockets seems right to me...i may have a problem, but i havent discerned it yet!

I would personally love to see a super thin blade in ZDP-189. My endura is in my right pocket every single day. Even my other enduras rotate with my natives and salt lc200n in the left. Yeah i cant figure out why i carry 4 knives all the time either but if you got boots, pockets, and a belt, it seem...

I find the maxamet to be very similar in effort. But slightly better in result. They both require patience, but the maxamet seems to come to just a bit finer edge than the s110v for me. I prefer them both a touch "toothy" but roughly equivalent techniques produce a slightly toothier edge o...

An interesting and widely varied group of responses. I note that although most would not necessarily jump to the conclusion that a 45 degree inclusive finale edge is particularly sharp, even if finely honed, would you then argue that your razor blade that comes in precisely that edge angle from Gill...

I was having some serious problems deciding between the vtoku and the hap40. I read about everything i was able to find, and decided the hap40 would meet my "wants" a touch better. Having said that, i feel quite confident there will be a vtoku-2 inbound as well!

I admit i only have 6 spydercos purchased over the last year or so, but i have found them to be the sharpest "factory" edges. I touch them up on the sharpmaker and strop with a 1 micron impregnated paddle and particularly the zdp-189, s110v, and hap40 will whack straight through free hangi...

I am embarrassed to admit i was a "traditional" knife guy and late to the spyderco party. Yeah im stubborn and not very bright i suppose! I have in the past year established two "benchmarks, and they are pocket specific, so please bear with me. My right pocket always holds one of my e...

Wow a difficult question! I am blessed with a few nice ones maxamet, zdp-189, hap40, s110v, s30v and s35vn. Honestly though i have had my zdp endura in my right pocket every day, and rotated the rest through my left pocket lol! So i guess ill go with the zdp-189.

I am currently carrying a pair of enduras and a native 5. ZDP and HAp40 on the E's and S110V on the native. I think i need more pockets...
