Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations

Still looking for YXR7. Guessing it might be a more difficult heat treat. Default to HAP40.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

Maybe the future 15V Native 5 and Native Chief can be regular production since they have not been announced as sprint runs. Hint hint.

It would be nice if the bodacious gets S110v.

Re: Military Sprint Runs No More?

The S110v Military is still in production. I would not let it pass if you like the Military 1.

Re: Military Sprint Runs No More?

The St. Nicks 4V Military was a nice way to go out. I still think the Cruwear is my favorite. All great examples of a well designed tool.

Re: Spyderco Stretch Original

Everyone lay off the bento box shop HAP40’s. This is my secret place. They don’t accept returns so I know I am getting an item straight from the factory.

Re: What's your use for a Ladybug?

I know this is a ladybug thread but if you have not seen Jazz’s Manbug Salt video it is very good review and shows the capabilities of this little big knife. He even goes through his sharpening.

Re: What's your use for a Ladybug?

Big fan of the Manbug. Just a bit beefier than the ladybug. My main edc is a manbug salt. It’s a machine.

I do have a ladybug in superblue and it’s what people call sharp, very sharp.

Re: What Spyderco if you were in the Military?

From my service experience, a pacific salt se is about perfect. I carried a Mariner se and it took a beating and could always cut

Re: C95 Manix Sprint

DLC 4V would get some takers. I wonder if St. Nicks would consider it. They have been willing to go for big knives in the past. Millie 4V is on my top 5.

I think that it might be to match people’s sharpening preferences. The Vanadium Carbide in Magna-Cut is harder for traditional ceramic and aliminum oxide waterstone and sharpeners to sharpen.
Bingo for me. I plan on the LC200 Chief. Easy to maintain on the sharpmaker.

I really wish BBS would order another run of the S90v Blue Military. Guessing it took too long to sell out.

Yeah, I’m really banking on GPKnives doing their Rex45 and white FRN thing.
Their Native 5s were priced so well.
This will be a fantastic combo.

Re: Poll: Which Golden Model Do You Want to See in 15V Next?

I know it’s not on the list, Military 1.

Just in case it’s on a sunset. Could be the last chance as the knife makers at Golden still make them. In the future the Military 2 will likely dominate.

Re: Potential for other models to come in 15V

The 15V heat treat has been well received. Guessing the standard Gas laden models “should” follow. I’m holding out for the Native 5 and Para 3 as 3” blade is needed by a few. Military would sell as well.

Re: K390 Lil' Temperance3 Lightweight In Stk

I might have to cave on this one.

Guessing it’s going to be really nice. I hope they ground them thin, thin. It has hefty blades stock so take it down skinny at the edge.
