Spyderco Forums

I bought the C41PTBL5 model for my girlfriend as one of her Christmas gifts. She has been very happy with it so far, but I have not used it enough to comment on the S90V steel. (I have the C41CBL5 with SPY27, which I use a lot.)

The Native 5 is a great knife due to its ergonomics. So, whichever ...

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep the silver wire clip.

Hi all,

I received a Dragonfly 2 Salt this week with black hardware, but with a silver wire clip. The current photo appears to show a black wire clip:

Do any of you know if there was a transition period where silver wire clips were used? Also ...

Does anyone have a guess as to when these will be released? I am wondering if it might be sooner than this summer.

Thanks for the feedback. This makes sense to leave it the way it is. I just thought I would inquire in case it had not been brought up before.

The Spydie hole on my Native 5 SPY27 feels fine for me. I just like thinking about possible design improvements.

I apologize if this has already been discussed. (I could not find anything within the forum on this.)

Would it be possible to put a tiny bevel in the Spydie hole, or would the tolerance not allow for this?

My thought was that if this was possible, it might feel just a tad bit more comfortable ...

Hi all,

Have any of you ever tried nylon coated aircraft cable for a lanyard hole? Hillman makes the following:

I thought combining this ...

Thank you all for the feedback. TenGrainBread , thank you very much for the video link. I had not seen that before and if I had, I would have already come to the conclusion that I have now reached.

I will not be doing this, as I do not like the look of how it turned out on LC200N. More importantly ...

Hi all,

I noticed that user razehound did an acid wash to a Caribbean:

I have been curious if this process damages the steel, ultimately affecting the corrosion resistance. So far, I found the following post on Reddit:

I became a bit of a Spyderco addict in the fall of 2020. I decided to join because I could not find some of the answers I was looking for and thought I might as well ask.

The openness and helpful feedback has been wonderful. I may not post a lot, but I appreciate the wealth of knowledge given by so ...

Here are some links to pre-order:

I was comparing the tension of my Native 5 to my Step-Dad’s UK Penknife this past Monday. I think the Native 5 has more tension, but I do not think the difference is that much. I would assume the UK Penknife will be safe in your pocket.

Within this YouTube clip from Knife Center, Eric mentions around 23:43 that he wouldn’t doubt that they would do serrated as well, but that he did not completely have faith in that.

I pre-ordered the C94SYL last evening. So, I truly hope that the serrated version is in ...

Within that YouTube clip from Knife Center, Eric mentions around 23:43 that he wouldn’t doubt that they would do serrated as well, for the UK Penknife Salt, but that he did not completely have faith in that.

Now that Reveal 7 lists a C94SYL model, I may simply just go with that.

Like with other LC200N models, I would want a full flat grind.

Would anyone like to see a revival of the UK Penknife FRN Rescue, but with LC200N? It would be a great knife to keep in the car and then take for a hike, as it is lighter weight than the other rescue knives.

Here is the original C94OR2 model:

I noticed a price difference for the new Atlantic Salt with LC200N. Most sites have it listed for $99.40. I found that GP Knives now has it listed for $123.90:

On December 26 of 2019, my girlfriend and I arrived at her cousin’s house in Golden, Colorado, near State Highway 93. We were there until December 30.

Because I had not begun to explore the knife world at this point, I was completely unaware of the existence of Spyderco.

Due to the pandemic, we ...

I am new to the world of Spyderco as of this fall. I have been researching a fair amount and I believe the ideal model for my needs would be a Native 5 Salt with LC200N and a combo blade. I assume that because the Never Summer (C41NSSRD5) model was created, the tooling probably already exists to ...
