Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?
Couldn't agree more on the Rhino. It's obviously made for a liner lock and the compression lock is just awkward. I also wish the Kapara was a liner lock. This. Plus perhaps grippier scales (like an affordable, workhorse textured linerlock Kapara) and I´d have more than one! That said: As far as I a...

Re: Any recommendations?
I don't have severe arthritis, so this is conjecture, but I would imagine something like the roadie would be hard to hold and manipulate due to its thin size and proportions. I would expect a chonker would be better to hold and use, and a high hump vice sleek recessed blade would be easier to grab o...

zclubber1, Touching post. I hope you are able to reconnect. Now, because I can't help myself.

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
How do you feel about structures or bridges “designed” by an “AI?” Ambivalent. Are you concerned the software will make more mistakes than humans? Humans make a lot of mistakes. Such a strange turn this thread took. Is everyone in some kind of mad panic because of some software hat tricks all of a ...

Re: If laws and public perception were no issue, would you carry a different knife?
We don't have particular length laws in Canada, but do have restrictions on certain types and absolutely on intent. Do not say you are carrying your dragonfly for self defence. Any knife is a tool and a tool only. Of course CBSA is for some reason allowed their own interpretation and as you have all...

Re: EDC recommendation: Native 5 LW – S30V or SPY27?
Can you please elaborate on why I would need the cbn or diamond rods in addition to the rods that are already included with the Sharpmaker? I'm new to all of this and not familiar with all the different types of rods and what each specific type is used for. I do have several older knives (not Spyde...

Re: EDC recommendation: Native 5 LW – S30V or SPY27?
For just a touch more than the price of the Spy27, I would seriously consider the magnacut. The only drawback, which I don't actually consider it to be one, is the yellow scales. The beauty of the yellow scales is they are easy to see, but also really easy to Rit Dye if you want a different colour. ...

Re: Forum Exclusive Kickstarter
Yep,
I want a red/blue/magenta/fuchsia, liner/back/power/slip joint/otf, 2.5/3/3.5/8" blade with scales in Micarta/ultem/carbon/fossilized dung, wharnie/tanto/sheepsfoot/bat'leth blade made out of 15V/magnacut/mithril/unobtanium. Price it at about $175.
I'll take two!

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
In and In!
Not fussy on the steel, though I am a fan of stainless.
Wouldn't mind seeing it in the "standard" Spyderco sprint of CF and S90V.
And most importantly... AVAILABLE NORTH OF THE BORDER!!!

Re: Yellow Magnacut :(
My yellow N5 Magnacut quickly became dark red. But then it morphed into AWT blue scales when they came out. So, original colour, for my purposes, is better modable, than something that won't take the colour my whim fancies on the day when I have some spare time.

Re: 3D printed Native 5 Lightweight scales
Cool idea.
I really like my AWT scales for the durability and they also use washers.

Re: Will Factory Switch Blades/Scales Between Knives? (Same Model)
The intricate interdependence of parts and their specific orientation is much more subtle and nuanced than most people here realize. If you take one blade from a knife, and put it into another, the surfaces of the liners may be uneven, the stop-pins may be off by .0001", and the lock-faces may...
