Spyderco Forums

Dan, that is amazing, and thank you for sharing this. I believe you can teach many of us on the forum good survival skills. Anything helps.

Two related questions:

1 When it comes to knives, would you say a Spyderco lockblade and a Mora fixed blade would be a good set of kit to have in that ...

Easy - knife, lighter, .22 rifle. Served me well for two and half weeks once, many years ago.

Great choice.

Infact, and this is on this topic, I would like your opinion and that of all of you on this discussion, in response to what a friend of mine and fellow knife guy who also hunts ...

A Stretch 2 drop point blade Salt model would be great. The Endela would require new molds too so really a toss up if sales would dictate a difference variant too . Both models in size would compete with the PM2 Salt . Great idea ! Dan


Hey Dan,

May she be a beacon of light in troubled times.
Great words!

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of ...

Not on the bike this time - work field trip with a couple of great Salts.

I'd love to see this, particularly with the Aqua Salt hollow grind. I think it's unlikely though given what Sal has said about the molds being worn out.

What I'd really like is a Stretch 2 in Magnacut. I like both blade shapes but have a real softness for the original. On the other hand the straight spine - aka the improved version of the PM2 - is only available in K390 which is a great steel but often too corrosion prone for my use. I'd buy one of ...

I bought one of these when they first came out and have given it a fair bit of use. The Magnacut has been robust and held an edge very well in SE. Mine is also ground more acutely than 15° and is a pleasure to sharpen and has outstanding cutting performance. The N5 LW is an extremely solid ...

Anyone have any opinions of the Native using the model in SE ? I want to try out Magnacut in SE but would appreciate feedback . MG2

Choose a knife you want and like at your price point but no need to carry on about a knife that is too expensive for your liking.


A basic Para 2 is $200. That’s about half the cost of a handgun. And things only go up from there. Telling people to not express their concerns about price just ...

I just bought a new 4x4 after driving one similar for 18 years.
So I am kitting the new 4x4 same as I did 18 years ago.
New bull bar, tow bar, underbody protection and storage etc

I still have all the receipts for the last kit out.
Nothing is at a believable price now to 18 years ago.

But ...

I love my K390 Leafjumper. It by far has the best FRN kickback action of any Spyderco. Only the G10 Stretch XL Cruwear is close. My Stretch 2 K390 is absolutely awful by comparison (won’t even snap shut and is difficult to shake closed one handed… can’t do it without blade play and also has lock ...

I've always been attracted to the Starmate design but I can't see the point of such a robust knife in a relatively fragile steel. I have a number of knives in 20CV and they have all taken damage where S30V would have been fine. To me there is no question that the GB2 with 3mm stock and M4 is a way ...

This isn't my perspective, but it is the perspective of many backpackers. Posting here for the sake of getting all sides of the story:

8. Knife – To be honest, the real reason that a knife made the list is so that I could remind readers of how relatively useless they actually are to the modern ...

Welcome Erica. I'm sure you will be a valuable member of our forum. I learned of your YouTube channel through the forum and it was a revelation to me. You actually use and sharpen the knives you review! You are also great at articulating your ideas and opinions.

I had a motorcycle accident and was ...

I would start with the 30 degree slots on the brown rods, do about 4 passes on the front side then 1 pass on the back and repeat. In the future if you keep damaging the edge maybe a slightly thicker edge will suit your uses better, then I'd sharpen it on the 40 degree slots ...

Leaning towards the Aqua Salt and Leatherman . 50/50 on bringing the light machete. What would you pick?


That's what I'd bring, maybe plus the M2 Salt. Clearing stuff with a machete is generally much slower than going around or scrambling over so if it was me I'd leave that behind unless ...

Yeah, I honestly am not sure what a liner lock is supposed to offer over a compression lock.

for me liner locks offer nothing but draw backs compared to compression locks.

It's a weaker lock more prone to failure and accidental unlockings. Cut-outs in the handle to facilitate easier ...
