Spyderco Forums

Sal, I joined the forum around the time I bought my first Spyderco, around a decade ago. I read a lot more than I post, and I have come to deeply appreciate that you and your team are consistently pushing the envelope on affordable high-performance cutlery. I come here primarily to learn I bought my...

Thanks for doing the giveaway.

Does a Techno count?...

If it does it's been the only knife I've carried since I got it a week and a half ago.

It's a very capable blade.

52100 would be amazing and a production folder first-time-ever. I saw some Japanese made kitchen knives in it so sourcing it is plausible.

Think about it. It would be magnificent in this platform.

Manix 2 CTS-XHP.

I have only one. A manix 2 in CTS-XHP that I've had for two weeks now. It is a great pocket knife.
