Dear Spyderco, just make good kydex for it. No excusess. It's not rocket science. Other companies already managed to provide their fixed blades with kydex sheath so good, you don't need aftermarket sheath. I had to order kydex for my Street Bowie and Street Beat. It's expensive to buy Spyderco these...

I wouldn't buy Rhino or Kapara if they were just another liner lock. It's nothing wrong with it but I like compression lock more. Every budget knife now has liner lock, so nothing special about it. There are good reasons to prefer a comp.lock over a linerlock (like vice versa), but I think SPYDERCO...

I wouldn't buy Rhino or Kapara if they were just another liner lock. It's nothing wrong with it but I like compression lock more. Every budget knife now has liner lock, so nothing special about it to hit "buy it now" button. Plenty people probably have same opinion and there is your answer...

I have mentioned before about soul and that fact we know Sal and Eric, meanwhile you can't say a lot about CEO of Chinese brands I have in collection. Their employees from China, or USA, rather are animators on Facebook and YouTube, and they only present you new things or passing forward people idea...

On one hand I can appreciate CQI. On the other hand these rolling changes lessen the value of the pre-CQI models. Yep. Now plenty will sell their old Smock to get new. :winking-tongue Nah, I'm good with old pivot. What would be much more desired for me is better pocket clip, mounted closer to the e...

I would suggest to make value line in one steel, NitroV for example. Plenty now wants deep pocket carry clip or pocket clip which isn't placed weird because lanyard hole only used by small group of customers. Everyone almost use clip but probably less than half of customers use lanyard. Don't force ...

Also thiner. 11 mm vs 13,5 mm in frn.

For me important aspect is that Spyderco knives have some "soul", character, history and faces of Sal and his family behind it. If ot wasn't there I would probably given up on them. So that's why I'm thinking about next Spyderco, despite high price. But another thing is that for me what's ...

I can understand struggle with competition against Chinese brands but on the other hand if we compare knife companies and Sal already mentioned some Chinese, there is American Kershaw which has and had plenty USA made knives, in CPM154 and aluminium, for pretty good $$$, once probably best switch bl...

Personally I was buying Spyderco only on good sales and from second hand for good price. In Europe they're just too expensive in most cases to buy even with 15% discont, especially now when prices are going up, not only on new models, but some discontinued old stock too...

I had this knife long time but never really carried it because that flipper.

Kapara in k390, with black, polished micarta would be great.

Without flipper it's much better knife.

Yes, yesterday I saw polished g-10 Ouroboros on Spyderco Facebook group. Photo made by owner, David Hardigree.

Once it was used in models like Caly, Shabaria, Kris, Street Beat and others. It looks really good when polished and if you're following other (mostly premium Chinese) brands, they use micarta a lot, so there is demand for it. I just would love to see and buy next ethnic Spyderco, (maybe some anothe...

There is already Stretch XL in cruwear and sprint Massad Ayoob both made in Japan.

I know it would be drastic change for design. So maybe different but similar "crazy" design with superlock.
