Spyderco Forums

Today's carry is the Knifeworks CTS-204P Delica.

My favorite Spydie fixed blade, the Serrata, isn't that bad price wise... but yeah, some of them get way up there. Wouldn't mind seeing a scaled down Serrata Jr. for EDC use, though. One thing I don't get is why the Zoomer is twice the price of the Sustain, a bigger knife also made in Taiwan using C...

I feel mildly guilty for carving up my game hen with a Benchmade (Mal Pardue Hunter) instead of a Spydie...

I would buy another Watu if they come out with a CPM-M4 or REX-45 sprint. Same for the original Chokwe. The ethnic series in general, and these in particular, just scream for a carbon steel that will take a patina.

ZDP-189 Dragonfly. Been putting that one off for a few years, so I had to jump on one after the news they're discontinued. My first dragonfly, started my appreciation. The only model I have multiples of. Enjoy. It's certainly good at slaying cardboard boxes, but I'm not sold on the handle yet.

I'm surprised at all the ZDP getting the axe. There are so few premium steel options coming from Seki as it is compared to Taichung and Golden... K390 is replacing it. That's like discontinuing S110V knives in favor of Maxamet. Sure, they both hold an edge forever, but they're very different otherw...

My D'Allara 3 lock got easier to disengage with time; I kind of hook the bearing under my thumbnail. A cage a la the Manix 2 doesn't look as nice but is a lot easier to operate.

What about the Spin? I never see that little pocket scalpel mentioned.

Everybody’s stuck at home with a credit card and internet connection.... for all I know sales have been good!

My bank account is crying out in pain because of new knives, that's for sure.

I like the colors for the handle, but the damascus is a bit too much.

Got a Benchmade Mel Pardue Hunter fixie coming, since it was discontinued recently and I'd been looking at it for a while.

I'd go for a real, curvy-bladed Stretch.

"Everything that we're doing in H1, we'll also be doing in LC200N as an offering." - Eric at 2:56 That's cool to hear! :D Does this mean lc200n will replace h1 or just we will have 2 options? Is there a reason to buy h1 over if lc200n if so? If both are options, I'd go LC200N for plain edge, and H1...

Everyone seems focused on LC200N for a Kapara sprint, but I'd like to try it in S90V. Probably end up getting one in whatever if a sprint happens, though - mine quickly became one of my favorite knives.

Once upon a time, pretty much every new lockback Spydie came with the dent. In the last few years it seems like it's gone away, not just on dressy knives, but on ones meant for hard work too where the Boye dent's claimed purpose (Harder to accidentally release the lock bar) makes sense to see it. Po...

A Meerkat in serrated reverse-S?

Picked mine up from the post office this morning. Now I have spydies in CPM-20CV and CTS-204P... just need a M390 one for the hat trick. Probably going to be the Pattadese when it comes out.

I'd want a HAP-40 over K390 in a Seki fixed blade - Street Beat by preference, but I don't have a Moran yet...
