Spyderco Forums

i'd go with the brown military with xhp, or the grey para with 20cp. Sounds like you're after a bit more blade than a para though, so i say top recommendation is brown millie. good luck with the decision, either way it's a win!

**** chuck, that yo 2 reached ya quick. Nice pics everyone

Looks like a cool little fb! Loving that hump on the top near the handle. Very gunting-esque!

Yeah the szabo folder too. I don't think Spyderco ever shows their full hand in the catalog. I'm sure there will be several surprise releases this year as well!

Drooooool

thanks for the info doc, gives me a bit more peace of mind when i'll be carrying it around (though regardless I hope I never have to use it anyway)

Is this thing really just as illegal as knucks? For some reason I have a really hard time believing that...

Hmm thanks for the info guys. I'm excited about thi little guy. Legality wise, I don't think I can do any better for a sd tool. I'll update when I get it -

Just ordered a clear one off the 'bay. Only other thread I could find was 5 years old. Anyone have any input on these little suckers? I have a fairly extensive boxing/mma background, but nothing involving knives, impact tools, etc. Any thoughts post em up guys, love to learn a bit while it's en rout...

maybe work hardening at play? i know it's very real with the H1 steel, but not sure about the others...

i would call spyderco, they should be able to help you out

Thanks Chuck, I'll have to look into that one...

Wow, quite the endorsement from the cut test man himself! Is the military the only spydie platform that has used xhp?

Interesting replies guys, thanks for taking the time. I'm thinking of giving that zdp ladybug a try after reading some of these posts

wow lot's of love for the caly 3.5 super blue! interesting to hear some of these replies, i see there's quite a bit of variation.

forgot to mention that a close runner up was my tenacious.

dullest probably was my kiwi 3 stag, that thing couldn't shave my arm if you handed it a razor.

The recent threads on sharpening have me wondering a bit about this question. I wonder if there are any trends (ie seki city knives are generally sharper than Golden, CO knives, etc) in sharpness? With that in mind, what's the sharpest spydie out of the box that you've ever received? I've had them f...

Thanks Mike! Knowing you and the spydercrew, I'm not surprised that every detail of this knife was thought out. What some of us would see as design flaws, you see as purposeful creation. I'm the farthest thing from a knife fighting guru, so it really helps to hear from you as to why it's built the w...

amazon has the military with camo handle and satin blade for $93.99 plus about $6 shipping. lowest i've ever seen a military priced at, only 8 left in stock...

2) It leaves me available for all the lonely, creative, funny, intelligent supermodels with great personalities that are out there. :D Right ladies? :) Ladies? :confused: Anyone...? :o Hello...? :( Hahaha I lol'd. As long as I don't go too crazy, I don't usually need an excuse. Every once in a whil...

my native was my second spydie (got it about 5 years ago). i've used and abused it (short of using the blade to pry) and it has 0 blade play. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I think it's one of spyderco's most well put together and toughest frn lockback knives. WORST case scenario is over time...
