Re: Spyderco 2024 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

Now with lock bar insert and overtravel stop Great CQI. It’s actually worth it at $449.95.

the order number they referenced is from a separate system; they will know your original order number when you contact them. i got busy today and didn't get a chance to call Carmen back so will try tomorrow. as far as i'm concerned they're making a genuine attempt to correct situation and i'll cont...

Re: Spyderco Black Friday Map Holiday Sales 2023!

Just an update on my preorder. Jamie at SMKW returned my call today so that I could reinstate my order for the Manix XL cru-carta. I questioned that my credit card hadn't been credited anything nor had I received an email. I was only aware of the situation because of this thread. She expected the c...

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

Pretty sure when this dropped and I got mine a couple years ago it was $400. So definitely more now (and not worth it imo) Pretty sure previously in this thread, you said it wasn't worth $400, but you still bought one. Good thing it's not a pansy color, or we would never hear the end of it. :yawn Y...

I've read that Spyderco made a reverse combo edge of the Police years ago but I've never seen an example of it. https://i0.wp.com/cuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/KLC13962.jpg?fit=850%2C500&ssl=1 https://www.pumaknifeman.com/wp-content/gallery/tarpey-sea-hunter-6363-20681/Tarpey-Sea-H...

Re: Experiences with hawkbills?

I know it's not a true hawkbill and the packaging says explicitly not to because the tip is fragile, but I've never had a knife slide through cardboard as easily as my Matriarch. I never could fall in love with the delica but I think the serrated Tasman is still something that I'd like to try out. ...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

What is the reasoning for putting the serrated section at the heel of the blade rather than toward the tip? And the reasoning for the relatively short amount of serrated section? Just curious. I don't fish so I actually don't know! I'm not sure either but I don't think I've ever seen a combo edge w...

Re: Could this Delica 4 be a fake?

I buy a lot of things on Amazon. Knives aren't one of them. There was one time they had a Cold Steel Recon 1 for an excellent price. I rolled the dice and got lucky but I wouldn't recommend it. It does look legit though. I kinda wish you could still buy that color FRN. Reminds me of the British raci...

Re: If laws and public perception were no issue, would you carry a different knife?

Law here is 3.5" if you want to conceal but there's no limit for open carry. I'd probably still stick to my preferred 3-3.5 inch range. Although I might carry a 4" from time to time if allowed.

Re: I don't give a #@$! about stainless

I feel like real men aren't concerned with what a real man should use or how they should use it. Kinda makes one seem insecure about their masculinity... Others don't have to try so hard. I'm not going to scoff at a steel because it has good corrosion resistance. Especially if it's well balanced lik...

I don’t have a pic but my brown para 3 has a gloss black clip from GP. The Joker has what looks like a blacksmith look. I’ve noticed a bunch of my wire clips are different hues of black. Interesting, I'll have to take a look at my other black clips. Whatever the case I'm not a fan of this one. Oh w...
