Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

Does my belt count for in my pocket? If not, my bad! So the M398 mule has become my go to feather sticking knife. It stays sharp and doesn’t chip. Never would’ve thought that before i tried it.

Re: GRX-810

Would be cool if this material could be 3d printed into a knife. Don’t know anything about the subject but that caught my attention when it said this material could be used in 3d printing.

Re: GRX-810

Interesting read. Don’t know the answer to the question. But it got me wondering can you 3D print a quality knife?

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native

Lil native for me with the ergos. I like a knife that fills the hand. I also prefer the compression lock, fidget factor and ease of opening and closing. Bonus - get the exclusive one in CRUWEAR and you get a small heavy user knife that is very stout and easily sharpens to a razor edge. The lil nativ...

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?

Wow love the look of the Serrata knife. Thank you for your response Stuart Ackerman Would definitely love that knife in a high carbon/high alloy steel that patinas. I like folders and they’re my favorite fidget toys/tools. For tougher jobs I like fixed blades. That and fixed blades are more aestheti...

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?

Spyderco has been trying to break into the fixed blade market for years without much luck. Really? Their fixed blades are always outrageously priced. There are at least some entry level options now. But Spyderco tries to charge folder prices for fixed blades. I can always find competitive priced Sp...

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?

Spyderco Junction is one of my favourite fixed blades. Pack it every holiday and work trip in my check in back. Spyderco has had some great fixed blades over the years. Problem is they always end up discontinued. Probably due to sales. https://files.catbox.moe/dqfov4.jpeg Hard to keep in competitio...

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?

Spyderco has been trying to break into the fixed blade market for years without much luck. It seems the knife buying market sees Spyderco as a folding knife company, not a fixed blade company. Maybe because the fixed blade market seems to be very conservative design wise. At least to me. Couldn’t h...

Re: Spyderco Groom carry suggestions

For a gent's folder, the maple Chap is ideal. Congrats! Chap crossed my mind so many times, I have possibility to get Raffir Noble for 90 USD equivalent. Maple one looks stunning though and it is on my list of potential wedding accessory :thinking - great suggestion! Ditto on the Chap with Raffir N...

Re: Your thoughts on the MT leather sheath?

Well I carried my K294 mule in Moab and Arches National Park for the first week of April and didn’t notice the sheath damage till a couple of days ago. Can’t carry a gun in National parks so I carried my mule in its place on my gun belt. Well apparently the rock scrambling and sitting down (sheath ...

Re: Throwback Thursday Carry

Man I love this idea, but I'll have to live vicariously through you old timers. I think the oldest Spydercos I have at this point only date back to 2019! Buy a Rockjumper. You can still find them on sale at some sites and they have been discontinued. Doesn’t that qualify? If not I’m in the same boa...

Hanan. I keep thinking this would've been better as a liner lock.

Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?

Was looking at fixed blades at various online knife companies. It just seems like something is missing. Especially in areas that Spyderco makes excellent folder knives steel wise. To me it is a mystery that Spyderco doesn’t have a current fix blade knife in CRUWEAR, 3V, magnacut, AEB-L, M4, 10V and ...

What will be my first piece of magnacut should arrive in a day or two. In the form of the all-black PM2. Excitement level is high! Awesome choice. Let us know how you like it. Was debating between the one you got, PM3 crucarta or the mules. Went with the mules. Because I waited too long on the T15 ...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Ordered my second pair of the MT28P2 and MT36P mules. Going to reshape the SPY27 when it arrives just like I did the first one I bought. And going to put scales made by me on the K294 mule. Although I still need to put scales on the first K294 mule.
