Thank you for this amazing work! I hope that we will get some more data points on the toughness chart, especially m390 and s90v. some observations (s30v vs s90v): S30V has been tested for edge retention in the 60-65HRC range where it did arguably really well. I don't think this hardness represents w...

I think a comp lock would be next to impossible without a finger choil...

why not? we have the caribbean

GB1 if it was an 2010 or earlier release.

I think that's a great idea.

I'd take the Caribbean design, remove the lanyard hole for space and put a hunting/drop point shaped blade in it, something similar to the Nirvana.
Doesn't matter which steel or lock but I'd fancy K390

Would be a dream knife...

Excited about the upcoming Siren release. I believe to have heard that the black/blue handle color combo will be the first among others to come. Might as well show some extra patience. Yellow, Orange/Black would be even nicer color combos. A SE version would be interesting as well. Hope it sells wel...

The only things I liked about mine was the well made lock and good looking design. The normal grip was cramped, using the choil for a full grip was uncomfortable and locked my wrist in a certain position. Cutting bigger objects was uncomfortable because I had to be careful not to catch with the choi...

I wonder how hard this variation will be to obtain? I'm contemplating pre-ordering one after pondering it all weekend. You fear it WILL be hard to option actually, despite being regular production? :eek: It´s one of my most anticipated knives in a long time, and should you be right I´d think of ord...

Sal,

sorry if I have missed the info but are there any CQI changes to the sun/moon chappy over previous iterations?

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to this Chaparral. Put in my pre-order yesterday. May I ask: Where can one preorder it already? (Though I really hope it will hit European dealers eventually too... much easier for me) There may be other dealers taking pre-orders as well, but mine is with KnifeCenter. Have no id...

Unlike many, they make knives that are intended to cut and the spydiehole is smart and fun to use.

GB1

I just couldn’t see how a GB3 could be made to keep both GB1 and GB2 people happy. Just a few too many changes between the two 5DD0B716-B1A0-4533-BA15-ECD6F311E4C7.jpeg Picture borrowed from https://knifeinformer.com/spyderco-gayle-bradley-review/ tks for the comparison! I too prefer the GB1 model ...

So for me at least just one a bit larger, 2mm "mainstream" ffg model is missing in Spydercos lineup. What do you think? 2mm ffg is plenty imo. I would not choose the chaparral platform since it looses edge because of the choil. An all edge model like the caribbean with ~100mm edge length would be g...

Sorry, but: For ME there actually IS a middle ground... :o ;) I´d be just ok with them colorwise (don´t own a Caribbean). No love, no hate A moderate viewpoint about the Caribbean’s scales?! Heresy :mad: ! More seriously, I love the scales, though they look more like a tropical fish than a bumblebe...

Mostly M390 and H1, sometimes CPM Cruwear.

My 2c. I had the chance to play with a caribbean and was positively surprised about fit and finish and design.

What I would change:

make the blade longer by 10mm
straight spine for aesthetic reasons
remove finger guards
titanium scales with the same pattern as G10

Like I said in another thread. Why not add protective stickers to pivots & blade that void returns after removal? This way you can return the knife if you don't like it and it won't be "used" for the new buyer who gets a return. Watch companies, hardware companies and surely others handle it this w...
