Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?

Used my new serrated Endela to cut up a shipping box this morning and then when taking down a garden fence I used it to cut the fence post ties. I think I am going to like this knife.

Re: Loosening up P3LW swing?

It’s hard to figure these things. I recently bought a Para 3 ltwt and was amazed how smooth it was from day one. The blade drops shut every time. I had one G10 Para 3 that the blade would not reliably drop. Two other G10 models drop as reliably as the ltwt one.

Spyderco chef question

I’m inching toward buying the Spydie Chef but then I came across a review that said the blade steel acquired scratches very easily. I understand it’s a tool and all that but that comment kind of deterred me. I’m not hard on my knives but at over $200 I’d like to keep the wear reasonable. Is this rea...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Para 3 LTWT and I finally caved in and also have a PM2 coming. Always thought it was too large of a knife for me but decided to give it a try;.
