Spyderco Forums

Nothing carried today. But I was kind of at the wrong end of someone else’s knife (not a Spyderco though). Went through surgery today. Nothing too complicated, but noticeably reduced nonetheless.
Will have to take it easy for a while, so while I expect to resume carrying something tomorrow, I don ...

Spyderco does their carbon fiber really nice, way nice. You will like the CF...

Thanks! I will post pics when I get it. Been really curious about the Caly line. I got a Caly Jr a while ago and I absolutely love it. I like the 3" blade size for EDC and I think this will be really nice.

I finally found a NOS Caly 3 (Carbon Fiber/ZDP189)! Can't wait to get it in my hands, been looking for one for a long time. I wanted a G10 version but this will do just fine.

Awsome score! Big fan of the GB1 and slightly prefer the GB2 in the hand. The hollow ground blade on the GB1 is the star of the show for me 👌


I'm the opposite .. I've handled a GB2 and for me the GB1 feels much better I'm hand and I like the heft of it. The blade grind in either is seriously ...

Love the classics!

Is that a Terzoula design model?

Trusty, old Pac Salt on a snowy day

Nice photo. Did you go snowshoeing or hiking?

I traded for a few items from another hobby and picked up this almost unused condition (with box!) C42 Viele. Photo of this one alongside what I consider to be one of the finest factory pocketknives (by any maker), the original Gayle Bradley folder - that I picked up just before Thanksgiving. The ...

One of my grails came in yesterday. Gayle Bradley Folder .. I am carrying that today. Knife was preowned but barely used. This is a really amazing knife, the linerlock is so fantastically executed and every single aspect of it is well thought out.

Here is a next to my recent favorite K390 ...

JD Smith.

If I could keep only 5 collaborations of the 30 or so I have, I would keep the following:

C46 Bob Lum
C58 JD Smith
C63 Keating Chinook2
C218 Hennicke Opus
C248 McCann Canis

The C58 looks amazing. Great choice!

I'm working off the assumption here that "collaboration" means any Spyderco knife that isn't designed by Sal and/or Eric Glesser.

In that case, my top 3 favourite Spyderco collaborations are:
The Yojimbo family of knives (Yojimbo 2, Ronin 2, YoJumbo, MicroJimbo), designed by Michael Janich
IMG ...

That's the large one.

I thought the black one looked stunning, the red one is like a supermodel wearing a red dress and you can't help but keep looking.

I have a lot of the collab models, there's a Rock Lobster in my pocket right now.

If I had to pick one for the top of the pile it would be the Spidiechef.

But honorable mentions for everything Slysz, Perrin, the aforementioned Rock Lobster, the Kapara, the Stovepipe, and the list goes on ...

Schempp Persian for me...

Very beautiful knife. Is the the large size or the 75mm?

It’s the GB1 for me and nothing else is close. It has proven to be a tank of a knife.


After I saw the Gayle Bradley's video explaining his design choices for the original GB folder, I simply had to start looking for one. It took me a good bit of time, but I have one coming in the mail that's in ...

Have you tried the light weight version yet? Loving mine so far after having it a couple weeks.

Not yet, been thinking about it. The thinner blade stock makes it attractive.

This is such a hard quetion, there are so many I like and so many I still have yet to try. @srivats I also have an eye out for a GB1, tried a GB2 for a few years but think the GB1 will be the real winner for me if I can find one at the right price that is.

There is one on ebay right now!

I really like the size of Lil' Native. And I prefer the backlock version than the compression lock version.
