Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!

Well, mine was expensive, but so far so great. I seem to have the only one in existence where the blade isn't touching the tube with an even edge. In fact it's probably the sharpest factory edge I've gotten on a Spyderco, at least on a flat grind. It is sublime in actual execution. It compares well ...

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!

Well I have mine on the way. Like everyone else I'm going to observe this is pricey. But, White Mountain has them right now and 10% off still means it's over $250, but that takes some of the sting out of it all the same. But it's too sublime in concept, so here's hoping it's even mostly competent in...

Re: SMKW Spyderco Exclusive?

Interesting that the satin blade version is priced the same as the DLC? Considering how well the DLC version sold, I think that's a sneaky way of them to pocket a little more money the second time around. I figured the first version would be popular, I had no idea it would be an immediate sellout m...

Re: Should Zome be Discontinued?

Some of the color schemes in zome look better than others. I have one of the DLT Endelas in the red and black zome, I actually rather like it, it's whimsical and different. The desert camo scheme looks... okay. I am a silly enough person I like the glow in the dark zome, but they haven't put it on a...

Re: Should the Endela have been named something other???

I think it should've been named the Delura, because the Delica is obviously the superior platform and should come first in the naming convention to adequately signify that. This made me laugh. I have always favored the Endura, but I do recognize I'm in the minority there. I can see it now, two oppo...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

After discovering I had a significant amount of rewards points about to expire at a retailer, I opted for a Police 4 in K390. It was agonizing between that and the Stretch 2, but the Police just called to me. I was nearly responsible, but then I went and bought two MXG clips (one for the knife yet t...

Re: DLT black & red zome Endela dropping Sept. 14

I may get one of these, I'm a big Endura fan but the Endela looks like an interesting model to check out, I love 20CV and I honestly like this zome pattern much more than the others.

Re: BHQ Exclusive PM2 - DLC REX45/Copper

Watch the crucarta drop tomorrow Oh I know that'd be about right I do wonder why the brass and not a funky G10 color, seems with a Rex 45 blade steel you'd want a light user and not so much an enthusiast's piece, but what do I know. NBD either way if you don't like it part it out, it's cool as it is.

Re: SMKW Spyderco Exclusive?

It looks like I managed to luck out on this. I'm not going to lie I didn't need this but I was just like "that's cool, if I can get one I will". I also found an in stock Shaman today. I think I'm almost more excited about that than the PM2. I seriously have had the worst luck with the Sham...

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Smock - Natural G10 and M4 - TiCN blade

The Smock is a cool knife but for some reason it's not one that I feel I need two (or more) of. For me it's definitely more of a fidget toy than a knife. I'm content with the 20CV/smooth G10 one I have. I've held off on all the other natural G10 BHQ exclusives. I'll pass on this one too Yeah I'd pr...

Re: Let's talk pocket wear...

I have the problem of I can't have visible pocket clips. I got a leather knife slip off of Etsy that fits a PM2 and most similar size knives just fine. I just use that. I add a short lanyard when I need it.

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Smock - Natural G10 and M4 - TiCN blade

Was the drop date and time announced? I don’t remember any notice. Spyderco app does a pretty decent job for me if you're curious about things like that. It's not perfect, because if you really want to be on top of it you have to also go to the vendor and sign up for them to notify you too, and I k...

Re: How did you get into Spyderco?

It was the late nineties and I was doing a lot of work that required sweating and muscles at the time. I went through a series of knives, most of them of not very good quality, and was just constantly unhappy with them. I've always been a pocket knife bug since I was very, very young, they always fa...

Re: Could you EDC only a Ladybug or Manbug?

Add me to the people saying I could, but I wouldn't like it. I got into most of "knife habits" years ago when I actually used a knife every day to, well, cut things, because I had a much more active, hands on career. But then I went to college, then back to college again, and today I'm a c...

Oh that is tempting, I've wanted this knife and Carpenter Steel is fun. I have the Carpenter steel Mule and that's been a very nice piece, sharpens up nice and cuts so smoothly. I'm not going to lie, I'm mildly tempted to grab a coated one for a "Halloween" knife XD But that's a lot to spe...

Re: KnifeJoy Exclusive PM2 - Green G10/DLC 20CV Steel

I decided not to. They are still in stock though. Which impresses me! The PM2 has been in short supply for a little while and people are always clamoring for a more premium steel. I'd have thought these would be gone in an hour if not five or ten minutes. I get the scales may put some people off bu...

Well I don't need it, but I wanted it. I need to cool it with the knives now, haha. For whatever reason KJ wouldn't take the card I've used ordering from them before, had to use the backup card. But that's not such a big deal. Other than that it worked fine. I kind of want to get a blue, red, orange...
