Spyderco Forums

Sorry to hear about that mate. I usually deem shipped and sold by amazon to be the gold standard for buying on there as well. =/ is nothing sacred anymore!
Laethageal that thread is a bit scary to look at =x

Thanks for the heads up Sal, the time to save is now! Time to feed the pig again. I have found it prudent for me to set aside a separate piggy bank over the years just in case an awesome spydie drops lol

awesome stuff, congrats on the new knife! it looks much better than It did in previous pictures I must say [not to mention that sexy cf :p ] As well as good on Donut ! I knew I loved those fattening sweet love replacement food stuffs for a reason :p

Have you used their C/S a lot before? I have kind of gotten used to it. I seem to have a propensity to get "bad" ones , and have had to use warranty quite a few times. And every single time, it takes 4.5 weeks [on the quick side] - 5-6 weeks [on the longer side]. And have never gotten an email/phone ...

That grind sounds interesting evil, keep us updated :p

I am excited for these, but definitely at half the rocket boost I was for the para 2 [simply being my fav of all time as much with you all]. And knowing theres another cf para 2 in the future , if these 3 [yo/man/para] crash land around the ...

I will need to borrow money, sell stuff, perhaps even not buy certain medication, but this para 2 is a must for me! I just hope pre orders don't come out while I am in the hospital for a bit this coming friday + a week after x.x not only would I feel like crap from my surgeries, but knowing I am ...

I am also waiting on the next elusively, mystically, spoke of but never seen, lochness grade, fluted cf para 2 :p but when the time comes ill borrow money from my family if I have to [would not do this for any other knife!]. Luckily I have a para 2 atm, as well as a sprint. What I would say is get ...

Hrm... I would say its somewhat important, but in that list, one of the last things I care about.
I do care that it :
- looks nice - aesthetics a big piece. Does it contrast too much with the piece? [eg black everything, but white clip? -exaggeration]
- How it feels in hand. Will it be a hindrance ...

The blade on the lum tanto's [fixed and folder] are so beautiful! Congrats on the score!

Thanks Kristi. They ARE worth the wait. Probably the best knife Spyderco has ever made, and easy to see why such high demand.

Much agreed :p My favorite as well. One of the few knives I have kept [from times when I "thin the herd"], as well as have more than 1 of. All other knives I could not ...

agreed, great collection [a very rare one at that!] and welcome!

Awesome list, thanks for the update! Looking forward to all the para 2 variations :p , particularly curious as to how cold or hot my PS mock up of a TI-para 2 from a year or two back is vs the OEM/concept ti para 2 you stated [besides the fluting]

Well first and foremost, welcome. Secondly, I think a lot of questions can be self answered if you read / do a search. In this case, even just two posts above you, and multiple prior, stated it as a native. Enjoy your stay!

Well Brad Southard was one of my top fav custom makers, so why not another, with Todd Rexford :p [I know he has a boker collab, not sure if they are able to work with others?]. I know the thought of a Kbit had been floating around, back and forth [albeit it may not be the best given it is a niche ...

I'm for keeping the pivots employed on the para2 system. There are times that I do like having "controlled" opening knives, but majority of the time, I prefer a more effortless opening [not flicking] I do hope its kept. Variety is the spice of life!

Nice! I have been wanting that lum tanto fixed blade forever! May have to add one to my small fixed blade collection. Digging the damascus + ti delica as well!

I agree, christmas time, is either the best time, or worst time lol. I just bought the cf dodo, have a southard coming [when they get it in stock HK], and I HAVE to always have 500 bucks for the 777 [preorder/been waiting since it was released on blade 2011 as the prototype]. + xmas gifts. Thank god ...

basically what Jet stated. If you are wondering what they look like, look for ZT/Kershaws KVT system, its very similar.

I would like to get a dragonfly se h1 or similar ladybug someday, but the smallest folder i have/use/carry is/was a frn delica [vg10 blue]. I have plenty of other knives/have had plenty, but this knife just seems to be the jack of all trades. Good length, light, nicely priced, the steel sharpens one ...

It should also be noted, that amazon can be its own store, as well as a hub for other stores. You may already know this, but always good as a minder, the ones that directly say amazon llc under the sale by [under price] is sold by amazon. If there is a different store name there, it could mean a few ...
