Re: 52100 Native Chief?

I know that Golden is at capacity limits in pushing knives through but I wonder if there is a chance that we will see a 52100 Chief? I know that a lot of people have their issues with it but it’s my favorite steel that Spyderco puts out and it’s the perfect platform for it. On the opposite end of t...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

I am waiting for aftermarket scales for my FRN MagnaCut Native which include PB washers, the absence of which is my perennial and main complaint re FRN Spydercos. I found them on Etsy (HiPolyDesigns), for nearly half the price of the ones offered by AWT and should be also lighter. In burgundy red :-)

Native 5 Salt Yellow FRN MagnaCut HRC?

Is the HRC known for this knife? I don't see it in the catalog nor on the dealer pages.

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

I also don't "like" pocket clips and I removed them from my Chaps and some Natives, but kept them on other ones, because deep pocket carry is not always possible and I must do IWB instead.

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

I use long red lanyards on knives when I carry them outdoors in the winter and there is snow, so when I drop them and they disappear in the snow, the lanyard is still visible. I use lanyards holding some kind of small float, in case I drop the knife in the water when I am on a boat or kayaking. I us...

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

Hi Fireman, So what you want is a Spyderco Machete? With teeth? sal This would be also the optimal serrated sickle outperforming and complementing the Tasman Salt SE in those delicate spots where I can't use a weedwhacker without a danger of damaging useful plants.. ideally perhaps with kama style ...

Re: Ikuchi, the best Spyderco folding filet knife?

I think the Spydiechef is more suitable. But there is also the Catcherman and possibly others.

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?

For me it is its compression lock. Not only I prefer other locks or even no lock to a compression lock, but IME Taichung compression locks are simply unusable, ie pressing the tab combined with a wrist action won't close the blade. This was the case with the Sage which after failing to break it in I...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native

I am perfectly happy with my two Chaparrals and two Dragonflies, so I can be picky and just wait for the "perfect" lil Native. It must have a back-lock, scales that are not black, a steel I want to try/use and it can't be an exclusive run. But more to the point, I am not even sure I need a...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Could not let this opportunity pass by me. Fluted TI Military acquirred ! Blade is warped but it's in excellent shape. I wonder if an older pre-stepped pivot Military could be a candidate for a blade swap. I think this is gonna be a mission of mine for the upcoming year ! https://i.imgur.com/Ht4eZG...

Re: Sage series collection - What's the next Sage?

Sage 2 in MagnaCut and Cruwear please or better yet maybe reintroduce the Domino in those steels. YES!!! Another vote for a Domino re-release! I’ve asked about this several times recently, either in its original form or the Domino 2 which has been mentioned previously. The Sage is a very nice model...

Re: Sage series collection - What's the next Sage?

Any new Sage variety is great! Would love a K390, but honestly will probably happily settle for the SPY27. Though a new lock variety would be best. And for those that missed out, I would most enjoy a Sage 2 re-release like they did with the Sage 1. Even if it is a Sprint run. My most desired Sage a...
