Spyderco Forums

My first Spyderco is in the mail for tomorrow, the DLT exclusive Para 3 they have on sale for Black Friday (Purple G10/CruWear). Looking forward to it; if I wind up liking it I am thinking about that upcoming Para 2 Salt in MagnaCut as well... Great choice and I’m thinking you’re gonna like it…welc...

Week 4 update! This will be the last update for the NOV 2023 rotation. Moving forward I'll be creating a continuous thread that documents all of my rotations instead of separate threads for each month. In terms of rankings, here is where we stand: 2023-11-25 19_57_13-KNIFE RANKINGS - Excel.png Drago...

Huh, this has me perpetually wondering if I am missing something huge about sharpening. It can take me ten minutes to get a basic edge on a simple carbon steel, much less remove a chip. My only thought would be I don't use enough pressure to remove material at hardly any rate , but I have certainly...

I secured a Stretch XL. Almost bought this a few months ago. The price was too good to pass up ($199).

Murdered out the Tasman!

Here's the Crucarta PM2!

I had an extra set of micarta para 3 scales laying around. Decided to practice a dye job on them. Used guidance from JSumm. Sanded these with 600 grit sandpaper. Went a little nuts with applying a heat tolerant grease. Dunked them for 60-90 second intervals numerous times using Rit Dye More Graphite...

Week 2 update! Well, I have a lot of mixed feelings so far. Dragonfly The first week or so I pretty much only carried the Dragonfly. I just kept reaching for it and even thought this would be my top knife of the month. This was short lived. I guess the novelty of the hawkbill wore off. It was great ...

What makes a knife good in your eyes? What do you look for? What is important to you? For me, it comes down to three points of criteria: 1. How well the knife performs (cutting, deploying/closing, how easy it is to manipulate in the hand, etc.). 2. How easy it is to maintain the knife (sharpening, d...

Agreed. I’ve been debating between a somewhat too short Tasman Salt SE and a somewhat too prone to rust Matriarch. Both are a compromise. What I’d really like is a 4~4.5inch SE ultra stainless bladed hawkbill with a linered tough as old boots handle (FRN would be good) in a colour I can find in lon...

I plan on getting a Manix 2 Crucarta and dyeing it a dark green. That first picture is astounding. I am considering a dark gray if I pull the trigg...

Nothing on the list … but I’ll be watching this forum for what’s popping up.


Hmmm … I’d likely be interested in an Enuff 2 PE K390 at Black Friday discount.

I almost forgot about the Enuff 2 PE in K390! That's definitely on my list.

Military over the Police LW. I prefer G10 over FRN. The Military seems more balanced and feels better in hand in my opinion.

Military vs... the Shaman!
