Tool lanyards are often essential on job sites at elevation when there is no situation where it is okay to drop a tool. They are handy in any scenario where loss of a knife would result in a negative outcome. They aren’t there just to be annoying. Spyderco makes quite a few knives without them. Thi...

To start with your last question first, do I value ergonomics or steel more? I want to say yes to both, but my reality has usually been that I prioritize steel over ergonomics if I have to pick one over the other. Sal’s comment (somewhere) about the handle being there to support the blade, which is ...

I’d love an Endela salt, too!

I love this so much.

I think my boat keys and a manbug salt might each get a champagne cork float.

Thanks Spyderco! That was a nice surprise!

I like a pair of board shorts with a zippered pocket. The knife stays secure but I don’t have to mess with a long lanyard or worry about it snagging on anything. One thing that makes this easier in terms of accessing the knife is putting a short, stiff-ish lanyard on it, about twice the length of th...

DLT 20cv “ladybug-patterned” Zome, with the coated blade. I only have the Endela but it’s my favorite exclusive from an aesthetic standpoint.

Well this has been interesting reading. As someone who missed the initial release I’m excited that there will be another batch coming and I hope I’m able to pick one up! I’m excited to play with the ceramic - for the cost of a couple of fancy dinners out I can have a new rustproof material to experi...

That’s a beautiful photo! I love the contrast.

A Cricket slip-it would be very cool! Could there be a salt version, perhaps?

Salt 2 PE, hands down.

My first Delica was the m390 BBS exclusive, and it’s still my second favorite.

I would love a little thin salty 12” machete in LC200n. I’ve used the Tramontina 12” and slightly larger (14”?) bolo machete that they make quite a bit. They’re wonderful tools but yep, they do rust. Now that I can afford it I’d love a rustproof small machete to go with my lifetime supply of Aqua Sa...

I have to admit that I would love a 12 inch salt-series machete, but maybe separate from the Whale Rescue Blade. I’d buy both.

That's very cool! Thanks for sharing your expertise. I've worked support for whale researchers but I've never been involved in a rescue like that.

The mule team leather sheath is awesome. I’m biased in that I used roughly that style of sheath at work for years when I was sailing professionally. I tend to wear those on piece of rope that I just tie on over whatever else I’m wearing, so I can slide the knife around to wherever it’s most accessib...

I would definitely buy a few. I just missed them also and I've regretted not buying a couple when I had the chance. They would get a lot of use in my world!

I’d actually buy a PM2 if they made the new salt in a lefty version.

In theory, one knife for life, but in practice I’m a huge gear nerd and that certainly extends to knives. I enjoy tinkering with my systems, whether tools, edc, backpacking, work, sailing, or paddling. Consequently I’m constantly playing with different knives and other tools and bits of gear and con...

I’m always stoked about coated blades and I’m excited for the new ones. I’ve always been a little bummed that there aren’t more coated options in the salt line. Hopefully we’ll see some more!

A lil Native lightweight salt would be fantastic. Hopefully we get both satin and DLC options.
