Re: Why both LC200N and Magnacut for Native Chief LW?
Funny - I started this thread right before leaving work; and shortly afterward I had the thought that maybe both are available because of production reasons. I wasn't able to get back on the forum until this morning, and see that mentioned a couple of times. That makes sense. I also thought of the c...

Why both LC200N and Magnacut for Native Chief LW?
Hi All, Honestly curious here. Any thoughts on why the new Reveal is offering the Native Chief LW in both LC200N and Magnacut, and it looks like for the same price? I think it's the same for the UKPK as well. Seems there has to be a good reason. As hot as Magnacut is right now, and "Spyderco Ap...

Re: Salt 2 Standard vs. Wharncliffe - Different enough?
OK - thanks for spending my money; just ordered one. :tonque-out I already have a handful of salts - four Pacific Salt 2's (both H1 and LC200N), a Salt 2 in LC200N, two Dragonfly Salts, two Ladybug Salts, plus a Spydiechef and a Caribbean. So I'm a borderline salt collector I suppose. I got a Manbug...

Salt 2 Standard vs. Wharncliffe - Different enough?
Hi All, I have a Salt 2 in LC200N, standard sheepsfoot. I'm debating getting the wharncliffe version - but are they different enough to justify having both? I printed the Spyderco catalog page (actual size) and laid my standard Salt 2 over the wharncliffe, and the difference is very subtle. The whar...

Re: Confused about the Sharpmaker
I also got a Sharpmaker first, and like it pretty well. After reading the forums beforehand, I already knew it was more of a sharp keeper , but that was sufficient for me at the time. After getting a bit deeper into the hobby, I wanted something with more flexibility, so I ended up getting a KME. It...

Re: Pacific Salt talk
i haven't compared the two pac salts, but i have noticed that i prefer hg to ffg in cardboard, unless we're talking about utility knives. my pac salt (se h1) was noticeably better in cardboard than my manix was when compared side by side. depending on the medium, ffg can create a lot of friction, w...

Re: Pacific Salt talk
Nice thoughts Jason. I feel similar as you. I do eventually want to get an H1 version. Mainly because I love the look of a hollow grind, so I may as well get one in a package I am confident I will carry. On the Endura. The Endura is probably my favorite user EDC. Followed closely by the Manix 2 LW....

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Bump Hi All, Figured I'd give this thread a bump. With all of the hullabaloo surrounding the release of the Stretch 2 XL, it seemed we may have been in danger of losing some of the biggest Pacific Salt Talk contributors, but watching the "...in your pocket" thread, maybe no...

Re: Ladybug Salts - Thoughts & Comments? Also a few questions
Well as a quick update, I ended up going with the Ladybug Salt SE, standard blade shape. I've only had it a couple of days, but like it pretty well so far. It's a bit small of course, but the ergonomics are very good. I like that the blade is almost the same as the Dragonfly, but it has a noticeably...

Re: Ladybug Salts - Thoughts & Comments? Also a few questions
Thanks for the replies so far. To clarify a few things... Most of the time the Ladybug would be a second blade. Right now, a Dragonfly 2 Salt SE fills that role, but I'm just looking for something smaller, as an option. My main knife is usually a Pacific Salt 2 right now. I might sometimes carry the...

Ladybug Salts - Thoughts & Comments? Also a few questions
Hi All, So I think I'm in the market for a Ladybug and have been reading up a bit. I'm almost certain I'm going to get a Salt, but I'm not sure which one. Despite the love for the hawkbill, it seems the standard blade shape would be more versatile; and I've seen several comments to that effect as we...

Re: Which model has impacted your preferences the most?
I may have to say the Pacific Salt 2 as well. When I was first looking at getting a "good" knife and ended up looking a Spyderco, the first one I looked at was the Para 3. I knew about the compression lock and that was the hot thing about Spyderco, so that's what I thought I wanted. Tried ...

Re: Help with the Spydie Chef
I really wish you'd had a better experience with the Spydiechef; this is a bit of a bummer. I think mine has the strongest lockup of all of my folders; no play in any direction. I haven't forced or tested this, but have done the same types of cutting/testing as my other knives, and it's solid. Locku...

Re: FRN Strength / Durability
It depends a great deal on the amount of fiberglass in the Nylon. Some company's that we use can accept as much as 65% fiberglass. sal So in other words, NRF? :winking-tongue Hayoooo!
