I've seen reports of lock stick on mili 2s. Is this a widespread issue? Late lockup?

My S30V, purchased right after they were released, is textbook perfect comp lock. Zero stick, axis lock style flip open / flip closed fidget factor.

How's the draw compared to a stock g10 millie?



I don't get how it's any rougher than regular G10. It feels like fabric to me, if that makes sense. It's textured but kind of soft feeling. It's not as aggressive as peel ply carbon fiber.


I wonder if the grip enhancement only appears when ...

This or the 15v for a first millie?

I'd say the Magnacut Salt that just got released, or the S90V sprint as they are still available.

Those seem like the 2 'ultimate' expressions of the Millie concept.

that's becauee it is small! shorter than an endura blade length wise.


Yep, although I recently stumbled across a "reblade" custom PM2 where they have boosted the edge length to comparable to a Millie.

Our first 'real' photos of the Mil2Salt, looks quite stylish yet tactical. I could see Q issuing James Bond one of these in a future film.

Is the texture really that much more aggressive than the standard G10? I've never held one of the new salt models in hand.

I'm quite curious as well, would be great if its really a 'lock in' no slip grip.

It certainly looks really cool, which is the most important aspect.

Carpenter ? You mean Crucible, right ? CPM Magnacut is not Carpenter made.

Yes, sorry, got my 'C' companies mixed there.

The G10 Endura was a really nice blend between the efficient size of the Endura, and the comfy G10 handle/higher quality feel of the Military.

One of the best general purpose pocket knives Spyderco ever made.

Superb pic. The peel ply CF is such a nice, subtle class enhancement while still remaining functional.

It would be nice to see it used beyond just the rare S90V sprint; I could see them being sold just as grips by spyderco as an upgrade.

Just snagged, thank you so much.

Regretted not getting the S90V Mil1 when they were released many years back.

*edit ...

Another cool application for the Temperance would be as the first production blade using HIC ceramic, as the handle is non metallic.



--> awful 2 minute sketch

Anybody got any idea as to how fast these TEMP 1 Sprint models are selling? I just got news I'll be getting funds on the 02 of November. I just hope they don't sell out before then.

The TEMP1 has been my favorite fixed blade going all the way back to 2004 when I got my first two. They say :"if ...

What matters more to me is blade shape / handle interface and how that impacts how much cutting edge can be put into the material.

This is especially apparent on a flat surface.

Let's say you're cutting carpet off a flat floor. With a wharncliffe or hawbill, you could have a 1" blade or a 4 ...

I'm tempted over and over as well. I think it's a good price for this knife, but the Jumpmaster 2 has me covered.


I think a Temperance XL pairing the current Temp handle with a ~6", FFG blade, would stand out more in the current Spyderco lineup.

Not sure if the blade could be upsized without ...

Scored a SE from REC today.

Haven't had a chance to do much with it but I did flip the clip around just to see if it makes much difference for me, and since I've always been a supporter of tip down for a Military I'm challenging myself to find out if I'm right.

What's immediately obvious is ...

Nice review of the previous temp:

Welp, you guys sold me. My previous attempts at willpower have fallen, snagged a SE Temp last night.

Will report back once it arrives.

I do tend to prefer a shallower scallop (I first noticed this effect / style on the Endura Wave SE). However a bit spikier like the Ayoob Gen 1 also cuts very well, and has a lot more 'bite' into materials like carpet, or plants.

Both the Ayoob 1 and Ayoob 2 perform well; something right in between ...

Clearest pics so far; looks toothy

Looking forward to hearing how it performs; I'm probably going to have to wait till Christmas for mine.
