Re: The Native 5 has grown on me

S90v fluted CF is hands down one of my favourite. Every time I carry it I always think that if I had one spyderco to pick to be the one and only it would certainly be in the running.
Love to get my hands on a magnacut LW but hard to find in Canada.

Re: An S90V or 15V

Only at spyderco can you ask a question and get the answer straight from the man who designed the steel for the product!
Not only an answer, but thorough and well delivered explanation.
Awesome.

Re: Bodacious + Shaman Comparison Thought

Looking at that last comparison pic with the Caribbean in it made me realize I need to carry mine more often. It is actually quite similar in a lot of ways to the Bodacious (I know I'll get flak on here for saying that 😁).

Re: Now I get it

They both have definite time and place. I guess I never really thought I'd carry a LW model but really think it will fill a good spot in my carry rotation.

Now I get it

I have to apologize to all.
So I've been a G10, titanium and carbon fibre snob in the background for a bit now. Love those scales and have been true to them for years.
I just got a Para 3 magnacut salt in the mail today.
And yeah, it is amazing.
I get it now.
I think that most of the members on here ...

Re: Manix Question

I just got my first manix after purchasing 15 other spyderco knives. It is definitely top carry and top favourite.
I put a ceramic ball in and an aluminum ball cage and the thing is like butter.
Love it and can't stop flicking it open and closed.
So smooth in transition and so solid in open.
It is ...

Re: When is this going to be For Sale again Sal?

Really nice for sal to respond directly to this question. Not everyday that the head guy of a company responds like this, I love it.
Hey Bill, when is windows 25 coming out? Yeah, sounds a bit far fetched.

I'm in Canada and the Manix S30V G10 is readily available. I'm sure in the USA it isn't much ...

Thought you all might like this picture.
Had another great visit to Spyderco today. Had a wonderful conversation with Ed out front and bought a new Native 5 S90V with the amazing op focus discount.

Re: What Spyderco if you were in the Military?

Lots of difference in branches and various trades within the military.
I've been in for over 26 years from Afghanistan to offshore search and rescue as a helicopter pilot and I carry a Paramilitary 2 DLC S45vn in a daily basis. Well rounded in all aspects.
Different trades will carry different ...

Re: 2023 Seconds sale! ..are you going?

Quick question. Are there any seconds left over after today? If so do they continue to sell them until they're sold?
I am arriving in Golden a few days too late so was wondering if there would be any left over to purchase.
If not I'm sure I'll snag a great find like always.

Re: Post up your Rit dye projects..

When heating the dye up should you use old pot? Just wondering if it leaves behind any residue of colouring behind? Or does any pot clean up well after?
Thanks

Manix 2 pricing

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before.
But does anybody know why the Manix 2 is always a cheaper price than PM2 and even Para 3 in most cases?
I've been eying them up for awhile, passed on the 15v for various personal reasons, and am now looking at that amazing crucarta version hopefully ...

Thank you spyderco

I'm a Canadian Armed Forces helicopter pilot and was recently in Denver for training. I had the pleasure to stop by the factory store in Golden and snagged myself an amazing Stretch XL CruWear which I absolutely love.

That's actually reasonable price with the terrible Canadian US exchange right now. I just snagged one.
