Re: This knife should be in production…My dream hunting knife put together.

Nice knife! Personally I like my hunting knives a bit smaller and find the little brother, N5 salt, to be just about a perfect hunting knife right out of the box. Light, high viz scales, easy to keep clean with no liners and very forgiving to all kinds of challenging use and conditions. Size prefere...

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

Serrated machete.. wow, this thread took off in a totally different direction than I anticipated :D
But then again, it's the Spyderco forums so I should have expected as much. I think maybe the creativity exceeded the market potential on this one :D

Re: G-10 Hawkbill Anyone?

I have a stainless Harpy and would definitely get a G10 Harpy if they decided to do another run. The handle size and shape is very nice and the knife is literally iconic, but smooth SS isn’t the ideal material for a hawkbill IMO. The same knife in coarse G10 would be so much more useful. And while w...

Re: Happy Easter!... And your carry today - ?

Happy Easter, Wartstein! Started out Easter with the TRL Endura for a backpacking trip in the mountains and changed to Native 5 salt for the last part, that we spent on our mountain cabin. Used the N5 to cook a meal in the mountains yesterday while out skiing, but the only picture I took was of the ...

Re: Any news on the Kapara slipjoint?

(Actually they are talking about imposing much more restrictive knife laws here in "free" (concerning knives) Austria too... I am worried... :( ) I saw there was some drama concerning Joe X and a push from some of the public and/or the authorities (according to him) to take away his knive...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

If I can get one, it looks like the price will be the equivalent of USD 112 + VAT + processing = about USD 160. Hopefully I can avoid the shipping fee, but then I will have to buy something else as well, to get above the free shipping threshold. So not exactly free shipping :) Still not that much m...

Re: What Cell Phone Music or Radio App Do You Really Like?

I’m mostly using YouTube music to play music on my phone. I’ve used Tidal a lot in the past, all the way since it was called Wimp, and I’ll probably reactivate my subscription now that they’ve adjusted their pricing and moved away from MQA. The sound quality is noticeably better than Spotify and You...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

I know I'm like a 33rpm record album with a scratch/skip in it. But I still can't for the life of me understand why they won't make the Catcherman model in full SE again. And this new model with the corrosion resistant steel would be perfect for a full SE blade. There are some fish fillet jobs wher...

Re: Salt color differences

My LC200N Native is my only Golden LW atm, but there’s a Manix salt and a UKPK salt in my not too distant future. Just need for them to show up at European dealers. Green LC200N UKPK appears to be in stock at the major European dealers... thanks for the heads up. I think I’ve seen the green one in ...

Re: Salt color differences

Hah.. learning something new every once in a while. I had somehow come to the understanding that all Golden LWs were FRCP. Anyhow, I also had similar concerns as you when I got my Native salt. The yellow color was noticeably different than the Seki salts I already owned. It is also my impression th...
