Spyderco Forums

Echoing sentiments of others; regardless of its circulation as an ideological tenet, 'made in the usa' as a purity litmus or consumer value is to me at best incoherent and at worst, empty. There is almost nothing that, supply chain and externalities considered, is entirely 'made in the usa.' "Made ...

That almost looks like someone refinished the iron sink with a aftermarket coating.

I guess the super high carbide steels are less fragile than we think


I dug around and it's an astracast "granite rok," a composite of ground granite or quartz and acrylic resin. Explains why it's possible to ...

I was happy to receive my Rex 121 Sage toward the end of June. This is my first Sage model, and besides the freakish nature of REX121 I was very happy to receive a knife made out of some of the last CPM steel that will ever be made in my home town.

Here I share a brief-ish review of my time with ...

I'd love to act like I need a PM steel that was developed for casting space shuttle parts

it's not pm, but lc200n (as cronidur-30) was designed/used for space applications. so, wins across the board

There's also the upcoming MicroJimbo Sprint in S90V that I'm hoping to nab, but the MicroJimbo seems to be a polarizing design for many users.


the fluted carbon n5 is probably the top candidate for me currently, and i agree with your assessment; relatively smaller blades for steel with these ...

Head's up, knifecenter's website shows both varieties of the 121 Sage in stock as of 4:15PM EST. I was charged a few hours ago for the kc order I put in a few weeks ago during their sale (was opfocus level pricing!). When my card was charged earlier today they still showed OOS, so it looks like ...

There's a LNIB Forest Green N5 on eBay right now for a VERY good price

My choice would be the CF Military 2 sprint or the CF Manix 2 XL exclusive

that's been in my watchlist for a minute now; seemed pretty well-used to me from the scales? but still ...

if you were going to pick one s90v model, in production or not, what would it be? would enjoy arguments/cases made about why this or that one

obviously this is asking for subjective answers - i recognize uses and preferences vary. but like I wrote earlier in this thread, I still don't have an s90v ...

Says next month now. Definitely nothing released today that I've seen

I have my eye on this thread for the same reason. Fingers crossed

anyone know what's up with the "spy-derco.com" site? this an alternate company site, or a phish trap

The GB2. It's not close. Unless you have a very strong preference for a smaller blade with far less cutting edge, or a comp lock, for me there is nothing about the GB2 that is not better than the para 3. I've owned and used both for many years now. The GB2 is very comfortable, I have myself never ...

Niagara has bee stockpiling some steel grades and Spyderco has also been stockpiling certain grades, so the immediate needs will be met.

Our concern is for the oddball steels for which Crucible was the only source. I think 121 was one of those. So we're watching closely for available grades. We ...

I know the 121 knives are intended as regular production, and that there are future models planned. Crucible's bankruptcy and all the connected concequences raise questions about the future of CPM supply. Not only whether CPM steels will reappear, which presumably they will, but also where Crucible ...

Is their machinery brand new, or is it clapped-out junk? A factory with worn out machinery is only worth the price of the building and the land. Is the dirt on the land clean, or is it contaminated with all the toxic waste that one might expect from a hundred year old foundry? Remediation could ...

Solidarity with striking workers! Longshoremen, Boeing, and any others - the squeeze is the point, and unlike so many other inconveniences etc. in life, any arising from the essential need to ensure worker's power are a price I am proud to pay. I suspect I am not alone in this, even here

My entry was inspired by Vivi actually and his hand-drawn design for a modified Manix and his current infatuation with the Resilience.



Did you see my Vivi-inspired sketch for a choil-less Native Chief? Lotta edge there, my friends. No you do NOT want to drop the blade on your forefinger to ...

came here to bump this thread. agree with the above. for me, this design is leagues above the pits aesthetically. if it's in a vaguely affordable range should it make it to production, i will take one. there are a million versions of 'perfect,' but for my money, this looks like one of them. looking ...

My favorite Spyderco is my first, the Wolfspyder. It was a christmas present from my fiance, and the first high quality pocket knife I'd ever owned. I still love everything about it, from use to aesthetics. It has a ton of useable edge for its small size, it's comfortable in hand in every position ...
