Re: New Members - Moderation Queue

How many approved posts are required before someone can post directly? The weekend is probably the time when most people have chance to read, think, post and generally be involved in the forum. But understandably it’s the same time when Spyderco staff are themselves relaxing and maybe even active on...

The cost. In Europe they are very expensive.
Agree. Probably just a lack/absence of competition between European Spyderco importers/dealers. German Spyderco prices seem especially high (19% VAT) compared to some other European countries which have higher VAT.

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

I’ve ready some comparisons between the old Military and the Native Chief. But does anyone who owns both, and uses them, have a view of the Military 2 vs Native Chief? Edit: I know this question depends on personal needs, use cases, etc, etc, etc., and I’m not looking for a “x is better than y” nor ...

Ran a search and it looks like I started making noise about a comp lock Military 14.5 years ago.

Looks like they expect availability from 1 September 2023. Maybe they know. Maybe just a conservative guess..

Lamnia.com have had the expected M2 availability date listed as May 2023 for some time. I’m planning to pick up second hand during 2024-2025.

Re: Military 2 release?

2024?
I got “super excited” when I saw the YT videos and was ready to pull the trigger on one.
Now I’ve totally gone of the boil. I’m probably not alone. Possibly they’ve hit some supply/production/distribution problems. Sympathy for Spyderco as their CS is first class.
