Re: Native 5 with Compression Lock please!
Please consider that the Compression Lock, as good and as fun as it is, leaves out the left handed portion of the knife owning public. This is probably true for most lefties. However, I am a semi-ambi person who finds the ordinary compression lock pretty usable with my left hand. *Personally* I fin...

Re: Which one should I get next?
Members: Looking for ideas for my next Spyderco. I have a small knife box with six slots and I already have the following: - Tenacious M4 - Endura 4 (combo saber) VG-10 - Delica 4 (plain saber) VG-10 - Para 3 (digital camo scales with DLC blade) S45VN - Paramilitary 2 (digital camo scales with sati...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
The Most Interesting Man in the World was recently overheard to say: "I don't always carry small knives, but when I do, I don't know which I prefer, the Dragonfly or the Lil' Native." Given that the MIMITW is seldom indecisive... Bolster, I love the way you introduced this question. :grin...

Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?
A Resilience in M4 would be a little interesting (I generally try to avoid Chinese items when I can summon the discipline).
I would seriously consider an Emphasis in M4.

Re: Delica size with fidget factor?
Without having ever handled a Watu, I suspect it's your best option if "carry" and "action" are key. I have the Para 3, Sage 5, and a Meadowlark 2 (Delica sized Byrd variant). My conclusion is that a blade that tapers to a vertically compact point will carry a bit small for its s...

Re: Upping the price.
I guess we could lower our prices; We could pay our crew less, take away their benefits, drop CQI, eliminate the Mule team project, stop supporting our Troops, Law enforcement, First Responders, our community. Stop printing catalogs, use cheaper materials and reduce our tolerances. Eliminate bonus'...

Re: Upping the price.
Not meaning to critizise you by any means (who am I to tell people how to enjoy their knives?), but 100 % no, I don´t feel like that. I could never keep a Spydie that I don´t actually use a lot (exception: I kept a nib backup for my discontinued VG10 Stretch 1 for some time, but not even that anymo...

Re: Upping the price.
Could be a blessing in disguise. Chances are if you're on this forum, you've already got more than enough knives in your collection to keep you busy/happy as it is...you just don't know it yet. Based on the poll that was going around a couple weeks ago, the amount of people scooping up 15+ knives a...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
Personally I detest AI and the over use of Robots in the industry. I’m really curious if you are aware CNC machining is the dominant manufacturing method of knives now. The robots won. CNC is not equivalent to Ai. Not even close. I wholly agree: AI isn't a computer running a CNC machine - that is c...

Re: If laws and public perception were no issue, would you carry a different knife?
This is an interesting topic. I live in a very knife friendly place. However, the law is so friendly as to be vague: my *understanding* is that big folders are fine, but if anything bad a happens motive comes into play. I would prefer a codified right-to-carry unless the circumstances very clearly s...

Re: Upping the price.
I believe your thinking is the same kind of thinking that has caused most manufacturers all over the world to make their product in China....less work and more profit. That's the trap. Low cost high quality is the bait. I don't think that there is any question that Chinese makers can make good qual...

Re: Upping the price.
The pricing has definitely made me slow down. I got hard into Cold Steel late last year / this year, and the prices are amazing in comparison...... When I can get a Recon 1 4" blade folder with G10, S35VN and an improved lockback for about $75 VS over twice that for an FRN & BD1 Chief, it'...
