Re: Onkata dealer


Is this Amazon dealer legit? The Onkata Store.
I’ve seen posts on YouTube praising them for selling authorized Spyderco products but I’m wary of Amazon.


I’ve purchased more than a few, when a local dealer doesn’t have it in stock when the mood strikes.

They’re always quick to ship, and I’ve ...

Re: Spyderco 2026 Delivered and Upcoming


There is no way that Yojimbo is worth $500.00 where does a price like that even come from?

The first thing that came to mind is, is this REX 121? or 15V?

And the final thought is maybe SPYDERCO is having to sell S90V at a we don’t have anymore price with Erasteel owning stuff now?

Whatever the ...

Thanks as always @Mr Blonde! This has been my favorite thread on the board since 2007 or so!

The Wolfmouse and Akro have my attention. Were the FRN Akro scales also contoured like the G10?

Re: USPS 🤪



I can’t speak for anyone else, but I never choose USPS. However, many small makers, sellers, and stores only offer USPS. When other options are available I always opt for another option.


When it's the only option then people really shouldn't be complaining at all :cheap-sunglasses

Re: USPS 🤪


I'm not sure I've ever had anything lost by USPS. Maybe we have better postal workers where I live.

Their tracking status has never been amazing, but it does sort of work now.

Super weird behavior here to choose the cheapest shipping option and then complain about it.

USPS never fails to disappoint. 🤭

I have a package coming to me from MA. Arrived here in TX two days after leaving MA. Good, so far!

Then instead of showing up locally, it turned up in CO. Where it has been for three days now.

Not always CO, but this “in Texas—and gone!” dance has been pretty ...

Re: I've got to have a Charisma!


To me, this is exactly what Spyderco was missing from its lineup. They needed a dedicated pen, knife, and this is it. I'm already saving my pennies.


This sums up my excitement too. I’m battling my impatience for this one! I’ve always liked neutral handles, 4” or so of grippable area, and ...

I might look into doing a mod like this when I get one. It's subtle but it think it will make a big difference for me.

I’ll add another vote for a green color. I’d prefer something we haven’t seen before; maybe a dark shade of Kelly or emerald green?

I personally haven’t made that comparison but from a dollar expenditure point of view I can see the argument. $425 for one or $425 for the other. But there’s more going on here than just the ...

Re: Spyderco Pumpkin Carving Contest


Here is my first carving from this year - I like how it came out but I think I could've prepped a little more in the beginning to get a cleaner finish in the end. Either way, I ended up carving a second one after this. The first cut was made with a Lil Native LW but the rest of the carving was ...
