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...

IDK, honestly. I have six, all in different steels, and am not sure if 15V is any better than Maxamet.

Re: Your Favorite Slysz Design And Why

I only have the Chef and the Swayback, but I am pretty sure I would enjoy the Bowie also.
I love the Chef also because it saved me a lot of money by not lusting so much after a Drunken. :-)

Re: Upping the price.

I don't blame Spyderco. The dollar is simply losing its purchasing power. I think it will get even worse.

Re: Native Scout?

Background: I own five Native 5's. I recently picked up a brown G10 / M390 Native Chief because I was wanting something a bit longer. The Chief is great, but it's a bit too long, and by not adding height to scales and blade the proportions are thrown off. I strongly prefer the bias toward closure o...

Re: Military Sprint Runs No More?

I just asked my local dealer to get me a Camo DLC Military. JIC, before they're gone too.
If I will have a DLC coated blade, let it be a Millie. Also, strangely, I don't have anything in my entire collection in S30V, which is a classic of the blade steel category.

Re: S110v to delicate more of a safe queen???

I microconvexed my S110V Military the first time it went dull and now, three or four sharpenings later, I can say I didn't have any problem with it.. The same goes for my maxamet PM2 amd P3 and a few other ones.

Hi Fireman,

So what you want is a Spyderco Machete? With teeth?

Re: What does “ergonomic” mean to you?

No hotspots and a neutral handle, that's large enough in all grips, so I can transfer the most power to the edge without experiencing any type of discomfort.

Re: What Spyderco Knife Has Surprised You the Most and Why

I really love the PITS. I am still surprised I can't find any flaws.

Also, after the FRN and G10 models, the carbon fiber Native 5 is a completely different experience.

Re: I don't care about stainless *Edited

Another swamp dweller here. So far only SK85 and K390 rusted/pitted (red rust, despite the patina) on me in a substantial way. So much so, I don't think I will be buying any more knives in these steels. In my experience, D2, A2, M4, 3V, Rex45 are all doing okay, developing patinas, with some minimal...
