I feel like some of these arguments are really reaching for a justification for why someone wants this kind of clip, when really it's totally ok to just say you like it and that's all the justification you need. Not at all, at least in my case. I have no problem in saying that I want something just...

Concealment of the knife is not illegal in and of itself, but it can be taken as evidence that the person carrying the knife intends to do something unlawful with it. One can carry a concealed knife, but the burden is on the person carrying the concealed knife to prove that there is a justifiable r...

Concealed means concealed. That assertion is, simply and literally, irrefutable. A clip running down out of your pocket is not "concealed." If your intent is to be hide the knife, wear a longer cover garment or move the knife someplace else. A clip running down out of my pocket can perfec...

"Deep carry" wire clips that fully recess a folding knife in one's pocket can actually be a potential legal problem in some jurisdictions, particularly in places where the legality of knife carry is dependent on perceived intent. Here in Canada, for example, there are technically no limit...

Thanks for your detailled reply! :) You know, when it comes to knife laws my homecountry really is kind of the promised land in Europe: Here in Austria we are allowed to basically carry really any knife we like, so I was never really confronted with the "having to conceil"-issue. Though I...

Hi Menipo, I was not aware of that there actually are jurisdictions, where one is allowed to carry a folder as long as it is totally conceiled, but not allowed to carry it when it can be seen. If that is the case in some places (and of course I believe you if you say so!) a real deep carry clip (so...

Sometimes it's an issue with trying to fit the lanyard tube and scale screws and clip screws all together in the same tiny spot that makes the most sense structurally. Some people grasp the knife from their pocket by only pinching the end of the knife so they need it to protrude from the pocket som...

I have given up on ordering knives from the US to Denmark after similar experience. It seems to have worked out for you in the end so that is a good thing. I have been ordering knives from the US to Spain since 1999. Never had a problem. But 2 years ago it became a nightmare. I got all my packages ...

I always thought that the main purpose of a deep carry clip is to make the knife "invisible" when it is placed in the pocket. I was happy when I saw Spyderco starting to use deep carry clips, specially because the wire configuration used by Spyderco makes the clip itself even more discrete...

A long while ago there was a Benchmade folder....can't recall the name. It was a general purpose locking knife like an Axis lock Endura, but on the back of the spine there was a second slipjoint blade. I could imagine something like that working better for a potential Spydersaw Dyad than the tradit...

Welcome to the forums! Dream knife would be a dragonfly salt with partial liners lc200n made in Taiwan factory Or.. The Mantra one returning in serrated Or.. Southfork in K390 Many thanks for your welcome, Holland. I also like K390 but prefer S110V because of its higher rust resistance. However I w...

Welcome to the forum Menipo! I can come up with a new knife suggestion everyday so take what I say with a grain of salt! I’m 100% a Spyderco fanboy, having said that I do love collaborations! So when I bring up some other manufacturers, please don’t shoot the messenger! I’d love to see something li...

Buenos dias, Menipo! (You actually know the salutation "Grüß Gott"? Have you been to Austria or Bavaria? "Grüß Gott" is a way of greeting almost exclusively used there, and not generally in the German language..) Concerning the "fingers all the time out of the blade path me...

The method I use never allows the tang or any part of the blade to contact fingers. I know, Doc. Putting the finger at the end of the handle to stop the motion of the blade when it starts its rotation towards close by gravity (making the contact with the choil or the non sharpened portion of the bl...

My ideal Spyderco already exists, it's called Military ;) I have said in a previous post that if I had to take with me just one of the knives of my collection, it would probably be my Military. However, I used the Endura as the platform to design my ideal knife because my preferred lock system is t...

Menipo, the following is meant NOT as an offense towards you by any means (!!!), but for me it is just interesting, that you as a new member here in your first post actually bring up the in my personal opinion biggest still existing "knife myths": - Serrations don´t cut well and are only ...

Hi Menipo, Not Vivis vid (would be better...) but mine, still it shows the method Doc mentioned: Very convinient, and you don´t have to drop the "blade" onto your forefinger (method shown one time slow, two times regular speed): https://streamable.com/myzlt And if you don´t want to have y...

With the Endura there is no need to have your fingers in the path of the blade when closing. All you need do is put your pointer finger in the hole while depressing the lock. Rotate the blade towards close. Then, either use your finger on the spine to snap it closed, or put your thumb in the hole a...

Ok, I got you. I think the kind of texturing you're referring to is called "peel-ply" (it's the same as the standard G-10 texture). I suppose it's possible that Seki could put out a Endura like that as an exclusive, but to my knowledge, that manufactory has not used peel-ply carbon fiber,...

That sounds like a Kapara 20cv exclusive.. i would think it's bound to happen eventually. does sound pretty close, doesn't it? Yes, but there are some differences which keep me dreaming of the ideal Spyderco that I described in the first post (though I think that the Kapara is one of the best addit...
