I have XL hands with long, thin fingers. The Endela handle feels great to me

I have xxl hands with sausage fingers, with my first 2 fingers all the way forward the hump still stabs into my middle finger if I don’t sand it down.

SPY27 if a non-salt, LC200N as long as it’s a salt.

Maybe a different steel variant would have more people interested?


Perhaps! Let's cross our fingers!

I'll watch the thread.

Yes! Emerson opener Endura fans unite! (Even if it is just the two of us)

Back when I knew ...

Sal with prices of spydies going up each year could you find it in your possibilities to cqi your hardware without raising prices for it? Because i feel really bad i need to say this your screws are the weakest spot in any spydie and in comparison off all the brands i ever took apart spydies ...

Seki's FRN has that quite interesting weight, texture and grip combo which Golden polymer variants doesn't (Seki's Endelas/DFs vs Golden Natives/Manixes LW I have). Endelas of mine has the same grip but little sensitivity to wear/polish vs G10.

Seki FRN on the models with steel liners is so good ...

I also look at this topic in two ways:

-OMG the $570 price on the Sage 6 REX-122 is pretty high.

But also:

OMG the $221 price on the Manix 2 Salt DLC Magnact seems so low for what you’re getting.

My point being, as I mentioned before, Spyderco does a great job at making a great knife at most ...

I was wondering what people were complaining about until I saw the price of the new G10 UKPK salt, $100 more than the G10 SPY27 UKPK. Guess I’m sticking to my Spydiechef.

It’s definitely one you have to be careful with since it doesn’t have a choil or heel like most of the other lock backs. I wouldn’t call it a design flaw, just that it’s purpose built and needs to be treated differently than Spyderco’s other lock backs.

I’m an American living in Europe, laws vary wildly and you really should research them prior to carrying anything wherever you’re going to be to avoid potential issues. Generally in Germany you can have non-locking knives or a locking knife that requires 2 hands to open, except in some cities on the ...

I prefer the comp lock how it is now, I doubt I’d like my M2 as much if it was set up as a button comp.

I’ve gotten a Spy27 UKPK lightweight from the factory that should have been a 2nd from what people listed. The FRN scale post that holds the spring had a bunch of extra material causing massive gapping. I had to take it apart and shave the material off with a razor blade.

Depends on the knife, my Seki knives usually require a little bit of sanding along the spine of the blade to knock off sharp edges that bite pocket fabric when they are tip up.

Even having to have this conversation is troubling, your current legal restrictions are already absurd.

The real conspiracy is Spyderco’s refusal to make me a Military 2 with OCP scales, the Army hasn’t worn digicam ACU’s in almost 10 years.

I've fully made the switch. I will still argue that there's pros and cons of tip up and down, and that it's really more about what you prefer to deal with than any real world advantage or disadvantage. I've even swapped all my Military 2 clips for deep carry clips and I don't have any problems ...

I’ve had my Military 2 for a couple months now, and it is the first knife I’ve preferred tip down. Weight wise it noticeably sits better in the pocket, and it’s easier to get into position when pulling it out.

I was going through my collection and found one of my old shipping inserts and thought I’d share. I usually write stuff in the special instructions and the shipping team responded and gave me a good chuckle.

Ever since MAP was enacted, I really can't afford most of the knives. I just get the Value Line (Resillience, Tenacious), a LW model (Para 3 LW) or a Byrd brand knife (Cara Cara 2 G10)


The byrd line knives have awesome handle designs, if they had the Seki FRN and blade thickness I’d buy more ...

Going to revive this thread with a question/problem.

It seems like over time the pivot screw loosens up. Is this something any of you have experienced as well?

A lot of knives will get that, you need to add loctite to the pivot screw.

They probably stop the scale from cracking from over tightening that pivot screw. I have one on my Endela but not my Endura. Not sure how they decide when they use them.
