The S45VN model looks a lot more "mirrored" than the other models I've previously posted. FWIW here's an older Positron with S30v steel that is a lot closer to the "mirror" stonewash finish that the S45VN model seems to have, and like the one that can be seen on the Slycz Bowie o...

I have a few production model para 3s and many sprint run/exclusive para 3s. It seems like the some models get stonewashed/tumbled, like on my camo para 3 in s30v, brown g10 s35vn, and para 3 lw in cts bd1n (although this finish looks more bead blasted than tumbled). All my other models have a belt ...

Fyi you can add to cart and checkout now from your wishlist if you have an account.

Might just beat the rush in a minute or 2.

Earlier this year I saw a para 3 LW clear acrylic scales being offered for sale on etsy by Nickabrack (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Nickabrack). I asked them about getting just the scales but they responded that they had to custom fit each scale to each knife in order to get the action perfect, such wa...

Do you have any tips for successfully checking out at BladeHQ during these drops? Log into the website 10-15 minutes beforehand and get ready to mash f5 when the clock hits zero. I noticed this on the lil native drop, but if you have the knife in your wishlist, you can sometimes add it to your cart...

When I tried to put the LW 20cv blade from the knifejoy exclusive into a G10 body from the red M390 DLT exclusive, the LW blade had trouble fitting with the pivot bushing on the G10 model. It would rotate all the way but with heavy resistance and would bind in the middle making it feel like a slipjo...

I called last week and now they are saying the end of June. I’ve sent an email twice requesting to be added to the email list, but no reply. :/ I just got an email back from them with instructions to order! For those that are interested but haven't received an email, send one to jennifer@halperntit...

Has anyone recieved that email blast yet? I sent them a follow up email on the 1st but haven't heard back yet.

IIRC all of the s90v/carbon fiber sprint runs came at a pretty significant price markup, around 30-50% more than the standard s30v/g10 production models.

Like other users have said, s90v and cf are more expensive/time consuming to procure and/or work with.

I tried to take the 20cv blade from the recent knifejoy LW exclusive and put it into the m390 g10 para 3 from DLT and the fit was too tight. I could fully seat the blade and open and close it but there was too much resistance, and it almost felt like it would have a half stop before more resistance ...

I would like 2, and I'm in the US.

I was lucky enough to get the s45vn mule last week, and that will be my first mule.

I would honestly like to see all of these, but a blue micarta/k390 combo would be the most compelling to me. I think the Shaman could really use a production model with one of these high end steels, maybe k390 or even cruwear. The physical characteristics of the blade seem like a perfect match for e...

Hi everyone, the chief isn't my particular cup of tea but I'd thought you all should know bladeops has some of the cf/s90v in stock: https://bladeops.com/spyderco-sprint-ru ... tin-blade/

Happy hunting!

Hi everyone, apologies if there has already been a thread made on this, but I found one of these up on eBay being sold by BladesWeLove: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Spyderco-Yojimbo-2-C85CF20CVP2-Plain-Edge-20CV-Black-Carbon-Fiber-scales/183232003099?_trkparms=aid%3D777001%26algo%3DDISCO.FEED%26ao%3D1%2...

Congrats on your purchase. Yes the model you purchased is a distributor exclusive, which are ordered by sellers and are typically made in samaje batches and in limited runs compared to the normal models. You'll be able to learn more about yours in the little paper that comes with your knife. Since i...

Just received my DLC bladed manix from whitemountainknives.com. This is my second g10 manix, and this has the best action of any manix 2 that I own. Another interesting thing that I noticed is that the liners are also blacked out like some users have been pointing out on the para 3 cqi version. Corr...

Pictures??? Hello ... hello ...... hello ......... hello ............ hello .............. CG Ok but only because you asked nicely, please excuse the potato quality images. Despite the anti-hype, I was mashing F5 at my keyboard during the drop :D. https://i.imgur.com/0VBRALx.jpg Deployed https://i....

Native 5 LW is one of the easiest models to take apart and put back together. I'd be taking a look inside and figuring out what the issue is. There's not much to those knives. I can't be too hard to figure out why it rattles the way it does. It’s not a matter of easy (I fix Japanese cars for a livi...

Hi everyone, been lurking for a little bit but finally feel like I have something to contribute. I've also noticed the rattling on my s90v Native 5 LW. In addition, I also noticed that there is a tiny gap between the scale and the backlock on the clip side. https://i.imgur.com/OSzQsn2.jpg I'm going ...
