Re: Delica size with fidget factor?

Try the Watu. It is discontinued but there are likely still a few lingering on shelves. Thin CPM-20CV blade, slicy like a Delica, and fidgetty with a compression lock. Taichung build quality and a deep carry wire clip. Ok this got me thinking of buying a Watu before they're sold out everywhere. Can...

Re: Question about lanyard holes.........

Never used one on a folder, but I’m not ruling it out as useless yet, and I don’t mind that the hole is there.

Re: Tax day MAP sale!

I am looking to replace my lost Dragonfly 2. I would like it to be K390 but will have to look at the prices tomorrow.

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?

For me as someone who has been using Spydercos for a like 15 years it is the Delica 4 K390 : (1) showcases typical Spyderco design; (2) long standing model that has received CQI improvements like the full flat gring blade, bidirectional textured FRN and the 4 position clip; (3) shows Spyderco leadin...

Re: Yojimbo 2 trainer?

Yo2 trainers have been unavailable for couple years with indication as to when or if they will be made again. They're not on the discontinued list so I assume they will be in production at some point. In meantime, Endura and trainer is best option IMHO. Delica for smaller hands or for concealment. E...

Re: Good second Spyderco

Delica is a great user knife. There are many different versions but I'd tend to get the basic Delica FFG. There is also a salt series Delica called the "Salt 2" if you want it to be rust proof like your Pac Salt. The wharncliffe blade versions of Delica and Salt 2 were recently discontinue...

Re: New Manix 2 with Uneven Bevel

I’m not sure why keep a product one deems defective. Returns are usually very simple. It appears that the major reason to do so is so one has something to complain about later on internets. Also, uneven bevel is ok. Few sharpenings later it’ll even out. Gotta love the shills around here. @Erich Why...

Why stop at $290? XHP? It performs no better than S30V but you should get $500 a pop with that super duper steel.

Agreed. Too much negativity in multiple threads recently. I hope this place doesn't devolve into what has become of most other social media discourse.

Re: Native Scout?

I see there being room for the Native Scout in the lineup. Personally I'd be more interested in other potential backlock models that Sal has mentioned: the Golden made Polestar and the Cliffjumper.

Re: Change scales on Paramilitary 2

Maybe Knives Plus could do that. I know you can send them a knife for modifications, but usually those modifications are more extensive than swapping scales. If I were you I'd do it myself, it is pretty easy to learn on the PM2. You need torx drivers size T6, T8 and T10. Another option if you can't ...
