Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?

There’s a strong argument to be made that the calypso/caly knife series is the epitome of the spyderco design philosophy. it basically has all the design elements and characteristics Spyderco(Sal) has developed and used the most throughout the history of their in-house designs. A streamline/compact...

Re: Good second Spyderco

I'm a huge fan of the para 3 in s90v and also the Gale Bradley 2 in M4. Both are very nice knives and amongst the best edcs spyderco offers. They have a lot of options though so scroll through Blade hq and Knifecenter and see what jumps out at ya. Good luck!

Not soon enough. Websites have been saying "coming soon" for a good while now. Getting to the point of ridiculousness.

Re: MLB 2024!

My Orioles are finally showing some real promise. Being a Os fan for almost 40 years has been rough lol. Loved the O's back in the 80's! They have an incredible team right now, so being an Orioles fan has to be fun. Very young and talented. Gunnar Henderson and Holliday have a real chance at being ...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

I use a kme on all my knives including spyderco. I always draw sharpie on the factory edge and keep the factory angle. The tapered diamond rod for the kme works beautifully on spydercos serrations also. I learned to sharpen free hand but with the kme I just find it to be faster and not as tedious. I...

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

Knife Joy did one run in 2021 with a promise for a second run in the future. Knife Joy did a second run in 2024. They seem to have released them in two batches to manage demand. They did a later release of their reserve stock after that via a lottery. They were smart and held reserve stock for the ...

Thoughts on the spymyto???

Haven't seen any talk on this beauty. What do you all think of it? Should I pick it up once it releases?

Re: Can we get some Ultem scaled Sekis please?

I'm a vaper and use high end mechanical mods. Ultem is used a lot in the vaping industry. I'd love to see it used more in the knife industry. A Ultem delica with anything above s30v I'd buy 2 of. I think the knife industry is missing out on a lot of money not making ultem a option more often.

Re: SALT Liners

As I look admiring at my most recent Salt knife addition, I got curious about the liners. Much is said about the blade material, e.g, Magnacut, LC200N, but less is said about the liners. Except "fearless corrosion resistant" and "marine-grade". Since S90V and many others are con...

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

I personally think the show side scale should have a gold colored or brass medallion with 50 on it. Classy and simple. Well simple in looks maybe not in execution.

Re: Upping the price.

I guess we could lower our prices; We could pay our crew less, take away their benefits, drop CQI, eliminate the Mule team project, stop supporting our Troops, Law enforcement, First Responders, our community. Stop printing catalogs, use cheaper materials and reduce our tolerances. Eliminate bonus'...

Re: Upping the price.

Could you elaborate more on that? What are the other companies of which you speak and what are they doing? sal This question wasn't directed at me but I will comment.

Re: Military 2 CF s90v sprint run

S90V ranks with K390, Maxamet, 15V all day. Maybe a perception that it's old hat somehow causes people to sleep on it. CF is a bonus, but I'd take S90V with any G-10 too. I dont know how anyone could sleep on s90v. I get it to a mirror polish and it cuts tissue paper. Does it take me a long time to...

Re: Military 2 CF s90v sprint run

For me, the KW exclusive RIL CF/Ti Millie in S90V is the Military to end all of them. The King. I am the proud owner of two of them. That being said I shall do my best to get at least one Military 2 in CF and S90V. I wasn't a fan of the original. I am only interested now because of the compression ...
