Re: Spyderco 2025 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

Is there a version of this list that also includes restocks of models? I suppose such a list would be difficult to maintain for someone outside of the Spyderco dealer/distributor network though.

Re: PM2 with a QC error (?)

Spyderco is typically really good about consistent engravings. Even at the factory seconds sale, I haven't seen a single case of egregious engraving problems (sample size of over 1000 knives), though I've seen a couple photos online.

I'm not exactly sure how an error like this could occur, but ...

Saw this on a guys YouTube post. Have no idea if it’s true but maybe the native 5 will be right behind the manix for a release


I know this store, they're pretty new but have been good so far. They source direct from Spyderco and are in both the ...

Re: Coming Soon the New Spyderco.com


Something about it reminds me of how those fake scam knife shop websites are setup.

This is probably because it's built on Shopify, like many other web stores are.

I was also hoping that the old archived product listings would remain, but unfortunately it looks like they're all gone. I hope ...

If anyone else is getting to the hotel this evening and sees this message, perhaps we could get dinner together? I would be glad to get to make new friends!

Re: C240BKALBKCWP Black Cruwear Smock Exclusive

This does indeed have black aluminum scales and the amazing TiCN blade. MSRP 307 and MAP of 277.50. Some dealers already have it listed on their websites but not available to order like Indianaknives.com and Redlineblades.com!

What I'm most curious about is the clip. The GPK Stormtrooper had a ...

The purple forum Native is technically a Native 1 not a Native 4. There’s only one N4 — the CF version and it was the only Native model produced in Japan versus Golden.
I thought the Native 2, 3, and 4 were all made in Seki City?

Re: Cracked FRN on new Golden Models? Old news or something new.

I had two factory seconds Manix LW come with cracked FRCP near the pivot, like this.

I didn't even notice it at first because I haven't had any problems with cracking on my LWs before.

Re: SPY27 Yojimbo 2?

I have been wondering the same for a while now too! I was hopeful for it after seeing pretty much every other Golden-made model get the SPY27 treatment, but at this point it seems odd to me that the Jimbo was left out!

Re: SE H2 beats PE Rex121 at edge retention??

Yeah, this seems odd to me too, there are a lot of variables when it comes to edges and without the methodology it's hard to say if they're controlling for them all. I'm also assuming they mean SE H1/H2 surpasses PE tool steels, but surely SE H2 does not outperform SE K390, right?

Re: Sage 5 LW vs. Sage 5 G10

Does the G10 model still have that one slightly longer pin that makes it incompatible with scales designed for the LW?

Super excited to come out for my third seconds sale! If all goes according to plan, I'll be in the line on Friday afternoon, looking forward to hanging out. Any suggestions on fun spydies to bring for a little show and tell?

Yep, Spyderco secretly also had some SPY27 Millie 2s for sale at BS Atlanta! I managed to get my hands on one a little early and had Sal, Eric, and Gail sign the box. They also had the Crucarta Manix 2 XL in the normal (not prototype) case, so that one is probably next. There were also 10 Bodacious ...
