Spyderco Forums

I'm very happy to see a 15V Chief! I thought it might happen, but was not sure if there was any 15V left.

I refuse to buy Chinese knives (or anything else if possible)!

...
The button on the Sage 6 does stick out proud from the scales, and I’m wondering if it is possible to have the knife open if you were to lay the knife on a flat surface, button side down, and push the knife flat. It may be more of a ‘2nd detent/single detent’ question at that point.

Hoping for a Chief. Don’t even need to be DLC…

A MagnaCut Chief with the new black G-10 would be great! I'm fine with/without DLC.

happens much more easily with detent based locks.

bit by a para 2 tip up and a tip down military 1.

carrying against the seam of the pocket or carrying tip down aren't magic bullets, it can still happen.

this is the #1 reason I prefer locks with a self close bias, whether its a lockback ...

I voted "Other" to include MagnaMax. MagnaCut (G-10) would be nice too. I was disappointed we did not get a 15V Chief.

Ya I don't get all the hate. Dack is very upfront about the wait times and I've only had good experiences with a little patience. Don't want to wait? Pay more and order somewhere else.

Are Shaman (& Bodacious) grips usually fairly smooth? I have a Bodacious with G-10 that is too smooth for my preference - I'm wondering if Shamans are the same way, including the KC burlap micarta special?

I like plastic cutting boards, and after washing them with soap and water, it's easy to disinfect them with rubbing (70% isopropyl) alcohol when needed.

Interesting. I'd most likely buy any Millie (1) sprint, though I'm not holding my breath


Same here, especially one in 15V. I like the Military 2, but the original is still high on my favorites list. I generally prefer liner locks, and I have been using them for decades, but a button lock ...

What i’d really like to see is a fixed blade 3V knife with the Spyderco heat treat before 3V is gone and no where to be found. Spyderco is known for its ability to push the heat treats to get the best performance out of any given steel.

Military 2 15V
Been wanting for some time. Got it discounted at NationalKnives. I have a plan to do a scale swap. Its gonna be so cool; will share pics when it's all done.

It's a great knife - I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I'm looking forward to your photos.

Looking at Larrin's data for high-speed steels, I noticed at least a few are rated "4" for corrosion resistance, including K390, M4 and 15V - I'm guessing in real world use there are probably differences between these three when it comes to resisting rust – has anyone had experience with 2 or all 3 ...

This is pretty much my original list:
- Military (1 & 2)
- Native Chief
- Police (G-10 please)

If a Sage 6 was offered, I would not pass on that.

...
A couple better options are the Rock Jumper and Leaf Jumper that can be found on Amazon for $60-70, but Amazon is sometimes sketchy with fakes so definitely make sure it's either a reputable dealer or has free returns.


I forgot to mention the Leaf Jumper - it's a great choice that is one of ...

Got mine from KSF. It arrived earlier today.

Mine came sharp and centered, with a good detent.

Nothing much to say yet as I have only cut some paper with it so far.

That is a nice looking knife!

How is the lock engagement & release, pretty smooth I imagine?
