Re: What is your all time Favorite PARA3?

My personal favorite (and my most carried knife, by far) is the S35VN DLC with earth brown G10. The fit and finish is immaculate on this one. It is just a joy to carry and use.

I've had many others pass thru my collection, but this is the only permanent Para 3.

Re: What Type of Scales Do You Prefer Poll

My favorites are G10 and FRN. They both feel great in hand. I also really like Spyderco's CF/G10 laminate. Micarta is good too (I prefer a more "fabricy" feeling micarta than polished).

I may be the minority here, but I really do not like titanium (or aluminum to a lesser degree). Metal handles ...

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!



I just looked at Dack and it looks like all the Spydercos are now gone.

Does this have anything to do with the clamping down of MAP as of recent? Looks like we saw individual retailers getting shut down, and then larger shops like Freedom having to drastically alter their operations. Now Dack ...

Here is my Franken-Native. I put a Spyderedge DLC blade and lockbar in my linered G10 Native 5. I really like the look of it.

Re: OK Sal I will attempt to swap an Idea in exchange for your experience with REX121

Copper is now also being used as an element of Damascus blades. It's a striking look, but I doubt that it improves a knife's cutting ability

Re: Spyderco Charisma Release Date! Countdown...


It's difficult to really appreciate just how thin this knife is until it's in hand. Not just the blade but the handle too. I still see it as a must have but my first impression was genuine surprise at the overall slimness.


I was just thinking about that today. The blade stock is almost half ...

Thanks, good to know the FRN is solid even in this size. I have the Caribbean sheepfoot SE, and although i love LC200N, I am partial to backlocks and the Native platform in general.
The Chief comes in LC200N as well

Looks like you stole it! Great find.


I got my disassembled Sage 6 today. I had it back together in about 20 minutes. It works flawlessly. What a great knife!! I did leave out the 2nd detent though.

I can understand how someone who is not experienced with complex folders and/or compression ...

Quick question to all the Jester experts here. I need some advice whether to pull the plug on this one.

Brand new in the box, 2015 Sprint Run of the Jester with Grey G10 scales, VG-10 blade and designated Model Code JGGYP? The Year Code on the box is LO. Price 157 USD
