I have been rocking the Lil' Native slipjoint since I got it! Small, unobtrusive, and an ergonomic little cutting machine. I can't recommend it enough!

I buy the knives, not my wife.
I sharpen the knives, not my wife.
I carry the knives, not my wife.

When out to dinner often my wife will ask me teasingly if I have a sharp knife she can use.

I always do, and always provide it for her.

I've never worried about dulling a knife on ceramic plates ...

I also feel it's partly to blame on very specific preferences and finding models that are always just a little bit better or closer to my ideal knife.


Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!

I cannot agree with this enough. The older and more experienced I get, the easier it is to immediately spot a ...

I agree and often lament that few spyderco knives have scales as thick as I would prefer. That said, a pocket knife by it's very definition is a compromise. One has to take the ergonomics and comfort of the knife when it's in your pocket into account. If I'm going to cut down some boxes in the ...

After years of the Ti stealth chaparral quickly returning to my pocket and pushing everything else out, I got a lil' native slipit that I've been looking at for some time.

Lil' Native Slipit is my new favorite Spyderco and my choics for Spydercop of 2024. I work in an office environment and for me ...

I've been wanting a Lil' Native slipjoint for quite awhile. I finaly pulled the trigger with black Friday sales. I don't know why I waited so long. This one is going to be getting alot of pocket time for the foreseable future. Great knife!

I'd love a Magnacut Spydiechef! I've been waiting and hoping for Spyderco to offer magnacut in a more premium package, I'm not a fan of FRN and I love titanium.

Eric has said all US made Spydercos will eventually get magnacut. I am most excited about the Magnacut Lil' Native. Since the lightweight Lil' native has already been revealed in the latest catalog, I am guessing that will be the one that gets the Magnacut treatment. I can't wait.

Anyone else ...

I already have enough FRN and compression lock knives, so I'll keep waiting for a Magnacut model I like.. I hope this deluge of FRN and comp lock will clear the way for other lock types and handle materials (CF/titanium) combined with MC in the future.

This sums up my feeings as well. While FRN ...

Should be easy enough to come up with a Custom shop logo to laser etch on the blade to differentiate custom shop items from exclusives and previous sprints. I'd be happy with almost any Golden model, but my first choice would be the lil-native. Already has three lock types and having a non-locking ...

I'd love to see and buy either an Enuff 2 or Subway Bowie in Magnacut. I'd likely buy both if Spyderco makes them.

A related gap is the high-end Salt. There is no Ti-MagnaCut Military with LC200N liners, for instance. No Chaparral Salt.


I agree with this 100 percent! We do have the Spydiechef, but that is more of a specialty blade shape, while I love the more leaf shaped blades. More often than not, it is ...

I think Grizz meant more of one batch per year release, not “1200 and done” super limited releases like is the case with current sprints. So Model X would be available in 15v for all of 2024, then in s125v in 2025, then bog iron for 2026, etc., etc. I would expect re-runs would also be allowed ...

I know that the idea of a Spyderco custom shop gets brought up regularly, and this isn't another of those posts.

Because I'm older, and have been buying and using knives for more than forty years, I have narrowed down my tastes, especially handle materials. Titanium, natural materials, and G10 are ...

Why I worry about heat treat:

I had two similar models of fixed blade knife from two separate manufacturers in the same steel, M390. The first one I acquired is why M390 is one of my favorite steels; Bradford Guardian 3. It performed well, sharpened relatively easily, held an edge great and never ...

Thanks, That was fun.

Merry Christmas!

That is an interesting question. My favorite and most used knife is the Stealth Chapparal, and while I would want that one replaced, I don't know that I would immediately go to and buy one on the secondary market, and would probably buy another model of chapparal, sun and moon probably...

But there ...

This discussion about the lock material not playing nice with MagnaCut makes me wonder what other companies are doing right or wrong in regards to this. I keep seeing other brands crank out MagnaCut knives and I wonder what they're doing with the heat treat and the lock steel relationship. It does ...

A few people have mentioned the Chaparral and that would be my choice, but I would add, in titanium. I've tried several different knives since getting my Chap, but the titanium stealth chaparral keeps finding its way back to my pocket.

I get the whole idea that a salt knife is mainly used for ...

I remember when Detonics came out with the first all stainless semi auto. I watched closely as "galling" was discovered in similar steels rubbing against each other.


That is actually the example I was remembering, although I had forgotten the model. I was quite into amateur gunsmithing and ...
