Re: Titanium chaparral- can we expect more?


Only marginally related, but does anyone know if there will be a restock of the RN Chap? I've gifted two and would love to pick up a couple more if/when they can be had again.


I've also been looking to pick up one of these and interested in what anyone has to say. I grabbed a LW Chap recently ...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??



There is something very correct about the black bladed saber ground Pac Salt. Especially with user scars.

couldn't agree more

Congrats! I bet you'll find that the Endela serrations cut even better (like a "better PE") than the already very good ffg (Pac) Salt serrations. They are just "mellower " and not ...

Re: Talk about the Endela SE

OK you guys got me. I just placed an order for an Endela SE with DLT. I have a FFG Salt 2 and FFG Pac Salt, but I like the feel of my SS Stretch with the liners better. This should be the perfect size and a great warm weather carry with the added stain resistance of VG10 over K390.

Re: Pacific salt 2 lc200n all black version?

I'm in as well. Especially if we're talking a blacked out Endela Salt in SE. Been looking for an excuse to grab an Endela and this would be perfect.

Re: Caribbean Sprint(ish)?!


I would love to see Spyderco do their NASA style treatment (“because we can”) to the Caribbean like they did to the Proficient. Sub out S90V for Vanax and call it a day.

Ideally though, since we are talking serrations as well I would love a steel that isn’t a bear to sharpen. That is why I ...

Re: Police 4 K390 SE Testing Log

I definitely think I would want to reprofile to 15*. I'm currently working my way through reprofiling my Salt 2 SE to 15* and it's quite a chore. This is my biggest hang-up with going to K390 in SE, as well as edge durability of course. I know LC200N is much tougher and less prone to chipping, but I ...

Re: crucarta pm2 now shipping



For a long time I was 100% sure I will get this one once it comes out. But since I managed to get the k390 one I guess I will just get some nice burlap micarta scales for it. Still - I am super happy that the crucarta PM2 is out and is here to stay.


Same here. Thought, I would get it ...

Re: K390 Stretch 2: Manix 2 LW killer?

First impression - I. Love. This. Knife.

I was hesitant to pull the trigger bc I already have the K390 PM2 but I'm happy I did. The thinner blade stock is also thinner BTE and slices like crazy. There is zero blade play in any direction and the action is very smooth and solid. Blade centering and ...

I would love to get my hands on a Manix 2 XL but I'm just not interested in S30V at this time. When was the last sprint for the XL? I haven't seen much at all.

Thanks for the advice/help guys. I tried editing the photo and altering the camera on my phone to no avail. The other options seem like a lot of work. Sorry to archangel about that.

The longer MXG clip fits perfectly as well. That's what I have been running on my Caribbean without any issues. I believe another member posted some pics a while back and that's where I got the idea.



Since there are many versions of MXG clips, which one exactly? For which Spydie? I ...

Imho a knife every mountaineer or hiker should own.
SOO light and slim, but outperforms all the thick bladed (and heavier!) options (especially in SE), prooves once more that 2.5mm stock in such a knife is more than enough even in "hard use", will cut and cut and "saw" and tear apart in emergency ...
