Haha just tape 'em and then give 'em out as trainers! I felt really obligated to buy one just to show Spyderco that the balisong market is still very much there! As limited as it is to certain counties/states, most people who are into balisongs own like a heap of the same ones just because they're ...

Thanks for bringing back the Spydiefly!

Spyderco is the most customer driven knife company out there and I'm just happy they're serving their balisong friends out there again! Hopefully these sell well and give you the motivation to do a run of the big boys again, we're all patiently waiting with bated breath! I already bought one, just ...

The Endura FFG should plow through any sensible cutting task, I loved mine!

It's just as strong as any other knife and I found that the FFG assists in it's cutting, and doesn't hinder it in any way with it's lack of "durability".

Doesn't matter what steel, I'd just like that it was produced for relatively less, simple, and that it had a framelock and an enlarged thumbhole. Spyderco HAS been doing a lot of Taichung collab reproductions though, I'd like to see a Golden, CO Southard collab with 154CM, tri-material construction ...

Heres the thing though, a Spyderco collaboration knife tends to cost anywhere between 120 and 200 dollars right? With the exception of the Fluted ti millie, knifes don't really cost that much from Spyderco. But see at the 300-400 dollar mark, you can already buy one of Brad's custom works! We don't ...

Brad Southard collab petition!

We have a thread on USN called "Sal, What Next?". Lately we've been on a 2 page rant about how we want to see a Brad Southard knife! I've been in contact with the guy before and he's very nice and we want to see a collaboration between you guys and one of his folders! I'm a huge fan of his Tozer and ...

If you're a lefty just get a Manix 2, and an Endura G10. Both knives are absolutely stellar and will bring you much more pleasure than 1 knife alone for 150 dollars. Having owned a Titanium Military, I would enjoy several EDC grade Spydies over say, a grail Spydie. Hawkbills make sense if you're ...

You have every right to post on the internet your findings whether they be negative or positive about Spyderco. That is exactly how they formed their standards of quality over the years. I've found that they've welcomed such things in the past. That being said, it would seem like you have a less ...

How has anyone not commented on how bloody beautiful these trees are? I've been a huge fan of Japanese maples at my local high end nursery for some time but I can never afford the price tag. Gorgeous trees mate!

My P1 and P2 comparison for the weekend:

So my friend Eugene bought a knife today at our local knife store. They had this sale that brought everything to online price. Their selection of spydies wasn't that great but they did have a Para2 in stock. I finally got him into Spydies by making him admit that despite the differences in looks and ...

Yesterday I met the Sage 1 at my local knife store. The tolerances on that thing are superb for a knife that costs a little more than 100 bucks online. They do use thicker washers but as long as the blade is centered I wouldn't mind owning one. I found that it flicked open with my middle or index ...

As long as you use the knife to cut you'll be fine. The BB lock failed where others did not, but it failed at doing something you shouldn't do anyway. I'm not going to be a huge Spyderco diehard and declare that any knife that fails an abuse test is defective, but the Paramillie failed a similar ...

I've done some ridiculous tasks with my Endura, and if the Manix is their "strong" knife than I would bet quite a bit to assume that the Manix is quite the beast at it's price range. As the proud owner of a Para, another hard-use rated lock I've already split wood with it with no consequence to the ...
