Before I read this thread, I mistook the title to be a request for a non-locking/slipjoint version of the PM2 in G10.

Same

Me too.

There was a forest green g-10 s45vn sprint with diamond arc (?) texture which was very very grippy. Too much for a lot of people.

The new PM2 Salt would probably be a good thing to try.

... They entire Military line is a bit odd in that they have a very thick blade stock (0.145" or 3.7mm for all of them), but taper to a pretty fine point. I guess it is just a unique design feature. It is more apparent in person, but the Para 3 has a fairly stout tip compared to the others in ...

Do I recall Sal mentioning a plunge lock (button lock) being considered in a future Sage?
Did Michael Walker invent that too?

Sometimes, I covet those Sage 4s. If any one needs a "comeback", it's that one. I can always wish. replace the Ti bolster with smooth polished grey G-10 and the wood with jigged brown G-10 with a little black dye. Go for something similar to this in appearance: https://blogger.googleuserco...

I have the LT3 LWT SE. I like the blade and handle shape. I don't like the pocket clip. It doesn't slide in and out of the pocket easily enough to be an EDC. Spyderco could use the clip from the Shaman or Native 5 so that there are aftermarket deep carry options. Give the clip a landing pad like th...

A question for the masters,

Were the Dyad models tip down or tip up?

Interesting, I did not know they left out the holes by the pivot on the Bodacious. That makes me even more interested in it. I do not like unused holes all over the scales. It is one reason I prefer aftermarket scales. They just look cleaner. Except on the Military. I think it looks great even thou...

oops

Oh, never thought about bending a factory spring. Might be fun to try out. Always thought I had to make my own replacement If needed ! Interesting that you chaps want stronger springs. On all of my Spyderco back locks, I've bent the springs to provide less tension. We all have are own ideas about w...

I was gonna say that I feel like my Backlock Manix 2 feels a bit soft spring-wise. Still love it ! @cjk saw what you did there :winking-tongue Mine was soft too. I took it apart and bent the spring a bit more. It now snaps shut just like it wanted to be a 3.5 inch Native. 😁 Oops, I did it again. 🤣😜

Is this the knife everyone really wants? Here me out. People decried it because it had such a thick blade and other complaints. However, when one looks at the specs, it has the same blade thickness, and close to the same specs as other well loved knives and none of their detriments. ... Add to this...

I have a SE Cruwear Ayoob. I bought a factory second because I was interested in serrated Cruwear moreso than the design. It's a tremendous cutter, however the way the serrations are ground is different enough from other Spyderco models that I don't think it really teaches me all that much about the...

Your write up on H1 Serrated edge has me pushing for a serrated Stretch XL.

Me too!

Y’all “tip up or die” folks should try tip down for a bit. There’s nothing the least bit wrong with it at all. It’s much more flexible than tip up, especially with knives that depend on little detent balls to keep them closed. If a knife is setup for rhtd, it doesn’t seem the least bit weird to alte...

I saw a dealer listed PM2 that reads ‘liner lock’. Could that be right or is it a typo?

Most likely just an error by one who is less than optimally informed.

… Off topic - Now that I type this, I recall @Evil D mentioning the Native 5 Magnacut SE being right about 15DPS from the factory. That may be a better option for someone to try out, though unfortunately being a bit thicker blade stock then some of the Seki options. Not sure if the LC200N and S30V ...

I’ve been wanting to see some SE in CTS BD1N. Not too picky about the model. Just curious as to why there hasn’t been any, unless I’ve just missed it.

Para 3 LW

There’s also a Native Chief lightweight in serrated BD1N as well as an upcoming lil Native lightweight in serrated BD1N.

I'm in on the 15v Native 5, both lightweight and G-10. Honestly, there's no other model I'd like to see in 15v more.

There was a thread about a double detent G-10 para 3 slip joint previously. IIRC, Sal was going to have a prototype made. I'll go find the thread.
