I still have mine from my Vietnam Marine father and one from my time in the Army. That said, respectfully, I would NOT get one.

Tiger king?



The hexagon pattern on the scales looks interesting.

OUTSTANDING!

I purchased too many to pick a favorite but one stands out as a special piece.

On word to describe this piece would be - Iconic.

Being gifted the cutout blank from Eric to go with it was the cherry on top.

BEYOND WORDS!

This is the Sage 6! The concept for this knife was created around 2 years ago when I had a discussion with the company about having this knife with a button lock. Spyderco is awesome!!

Yeah, language is always evolving—especially slang—and it's wild how everyday words flip meanings over time. You're spot on with those.
Awful: Originally meant "full of awe" or "inspiring wonder" (in a majestic, respectful way, like "the awful power of nature"). Now it just means really bad or ...

The wind is kicking my butt. My power was out for 4 hours. Not bad, safety first. Dragonfly 2 Salt and Army issued Gerber 06.

Jimandchris2,

I'm good with a black coated 3V for 400 bucks. I want this bad boy in a PE... the SE blade machete just flat out right doesn't cut clean through each chop swing nearly as easy as the PE.

I would really like the grip on this machete like the Ed Schempp Rock too, the grip on my ...

I would guess that the pics are of the displays. We have limits on how many one can purchase. Mostly to hamper resellers.

Sir, Eric said it was okay to party! yeehaw!!

The Chaparrals seem to catch circular scratch marks in the blade flat above the choil area - it is a tight fit into the handle. That is the way the Rafir Noble one was last year, and I saw that same thing on the SE LW I got this year. No biggie, hardly noticeable. Knife feels amazing.

I handled ...

Spyderco’s First-QC are extraordinarily tight and measured objectively:
(1) grind symmetry within ±0.015″ bevel height and plunge-line placement;
(2) zero visible chatter, waves, or over-grinds under 10× magnification.
(3) lock engagement 40–60 % with no measurable side-to-side blade play and zero ...

This outstanding.
Spyderco could/might theoretically release an outstanding 17–18" machete, but H2 steel fails most practical criteria for real chopping tools.Sal taught us.
Required criteria: (1) edge retention sufficient for 300–500 hard cuts in green wood without major touch-up; (2) resistance ...

Outstanding

Outstanding to see everyone Thursday night for a bit and obtain more knowledge on Spyderco and the camaraderie they bring. I'll be there Saturday with a fair amount of Veterans.

I also appreciate the people who are keeping this topic as non partisan as possible.

It’s the guy that doesn’t comprehend what that request means and insists on discussing politics that I do not appreciate.

Why is it a forum rule in the first place if it’s not going to be enforced?

“In an ...

I held both. So solid. Can't afford it yet. Well done.

Am I the only one who wants a fixed Salt shaman but with a smaller spydie hole since you would not need to open it?!?!

Yes. Yes you are. I've asked the factory. They just smiled. Don't stop believing.

Some answers of epic proportion. Spyderco’s never chased purity tests—mission first, people always. These new drops prove it. ButtonUp’s button lock is a slick twist on our compression heritage: smooth, ergonomic, and wallet-friendly. Mantra 4 just got sleeker and more pocketable. The Salt crew ...
