Re: Who has a Spyopera?

The one thing about the Spyopera that I didn’t like was the lack of jimping. Some will prefer it that way, but to me, it just feels a bit off.

Re: So what did y'all end up buying this year (2021)?

Really got into Spyderco knives this year. I had 3 at the start of the year—a Native 5 fluted titanium, a PM2 with camo G10 scales, and a Raffir Noble Chaparral, but sold the first two of these. Here’s what I picked up during the year: Native 5 LW s110v Sage 1 s30v Ikuchi Lil Native s90v Pattadese P...

Re: SMKW Spyderco Exclusive?

Interesting. I clicked on the link and the SMKW website says that it’ll be available on November 14th.

Re: Lockable motorcycle knife

Not sure if you’re looking for something that can be locked shut with an external lock (as opposed to an integral lock), but if so, take a look at the Ikuchi.

Re: m390/20cv vs s30v

I'd pay the $21 premium for the m390/brown g10 combination. (But I like having different steels and scales that aren't just black.)

Re: m390/20cv vs s30v

I can’t answer your question about ease of sharpening, so I’ll skip that part of your question…deferring to others with much more experience than me. Personally, I like having different steels on my knives. Makes them more interesting. And given that you can get the m390 with brown scales for only $...

Re: DLT black & red zome Endela dropping Sept. 14

I received mine yesterday. There was a bit of lag in tracking updates, but it did change. Hope you get yours soon.

Re: Best Value - Manix 2, Native 5, Para 3

I have a couple of LW Native 5s, both with upgraded metal (a SPY27 and an s110v)...still getting used to the feel of FRN/different knife balance. I decided to buy the m390/brown g10 Manix 2...not quite the bargain of the s30v/black G10, but I want to try a different steel. As for the rest of my Spyd...

Best Value - Manix 2, Native 5, Para 3

Recently joined this forum. Been collecting knives for about 4 years. Within the past month, I revamped my EDC knife collection to align with my needs/wants, so certain knives exited (like the fluted Ti Native 5...beautiful knife, but too heavy). As I'm looking at adding a couple of new knives to th...

Re: SMKW Spyderco Exclusive?

I was fortunate enough to snag one in the brief time they were available. Pictures don't do them justice...the light interacts with the scales depending on angle. Amazing quality...way to go Spyderco! This is my 2nd P2 (and 6th spydie overall). First one was a "standard" camo G10/satin bla...
