Spyderco Forums

I can’t believe that was all of them already. I checked my email 2 minutes after it was sent out and it was already out of stock. I don’t understand how this system is better than having a set release time.

Very nice. I got mine the pink s30v with the satin finish. It was her first Spyderco and now she keeps asking me to get her the Pochi. :rolleyes:

The above speculation is for the first production model, not the very first release which I still think will be the Mule. Mules are made in Taiwan these days, I think, so I could be very wrong as to where the first production folder comes from. There are several mules that are still made in the US....

Hello and welcome!

The Shaman Z-Wear is a great knife. One of my favorites too.

I hope it will be the military family. The Millie, PM2, and Para 3 would be great. Personally I can’t wait til the para 3 gets magnacut. It might finally replace my maxamet para 3 as my most carried knife. The only question is what type of handle material and color would they choose? They have alrea...

Welcome!

The Shaman is a great choice, especially the cutlery shoppe exclusive. It looks great with the mxg clip.

I'm in.

Thank you Sal! A great cause.

I don’t know why Spyderco can’t take their Seki formula and apply it to the Golden knives? I really much prefer the Japan FRN to the US one. It has a sort of micro texture that the US FRN doesn’t.

eBay is crazy. It’s the Wild West. I have sold quite a few knives, always just no reserve auctions, and have been shocked at what I have sold some of them for. It doesn’t always go that way but if it is a desirable knife it’s possible. Yes I have been quite surprised at what some of my listings hav...

I doubt it. I don’t think there are any fake tanto PM2s out there. Counterfeiters usually stick with the base models of knives from what I’ve seen. The most counterfeited ones are the s30v/black g10 or s30v/camo g10.

Yes I would use the dyemore version as it does work better and easier to use.

I’ve only tried dyeing light colors darker. I heard that it doesn’t work well if trying to make colors lighter. So you may still be able to see the black spots on the zome pattern.

I don’t really care for FRN. While I understand its intended purpose, it just feels like cheap plastic to me. Also, the Golden, CO FRN is different than the Seki FRN. I much prefer the Seki texture over the Golden one. I’ve had LW Natives and Para 3s and I don’t like the texture compared to the deli...

I wish it would be a Sage 5 with g10 in their colorway but it seems most of their exclusives are from the golden factory.

Back in stock now at SFO.

Have you considered the sage 5 lw?

I agree with everyone else and say let it break in for a while before you adjust anything. After about a week if it is still too tight then you can try backing out the pivot screw an ⅛ of a turn.

Which Lynch clip for the Shaman?

I use the mxg clip on mine and it works great.

I have personally tried this between an M390 Para 3 and a REX 45 Para 3 LW and it worked fine. I did it mostly because I was curious, but it’s important to note that both of my blades were satin finish. I have no idea how the DLC coating will affect this swap.

Could you point me in the direction of one of those dealers? Also what is bento box about?

Bento Box Shop is a legitimate Spyderco dealer and I have ordered from them before. The only downside is that they tend to be much more expensive than other dealers (for the most part).
