Spyderco Forums

Love mine. Of the 16 Spyderedged blades I have, this one is the best.

3V?! I’m in.

I like FRN. I do prefer it linered. I especially like what Spyderco does with it.

As one example, the lightweight Lil’Temp3’s FRN pattern defies loss of the grip that SD and other important hard work absolutely require. And the fact that it’s lined makes the knife utterly stout.

Why 3V? Because Shaman or Bodacious?

I consider my PM2 Tanto to be an excellent knife, but no longer a PM2. A tantoized Military2 would no doubt be as artful as the PM2 version but something other than a Military2 in my eyes. I’m happy with my Bob Lums and Breeden Captain for tantos…to the limited extent I like tanto blades.

My comment was not a criticism of this thread or its motives, only of the inevitable result of any fuzzy social classification, itself a problem of language which is both heritable and prejudgmental.

Apropos, see the accusatory r/BoomersBeingFools or the whiny r/Millenials.

Why, yes, I regard my excess Spydies to be a flaw in my personality, but I reserve the right to be curious.

We’re gonna have to disagree on what is the best treatment for your diagnosis. Why? Because I want you to survive.

My brother, eight years my junior, was a wellness guru on Maui. So dedicated was he to concoctions on which he’d built his reputation, that he chose not to have surgery, or radiation ...

Who benefits when a population is divided, or divides itself, into categories?

Crucible hadn't developed new knife steels for several years after their bankruptcy in 2009. They then released several steels in short succession starting with CPM-S45VN in 2019 followed by SPY27 in 2020 and MagnaCut in 2021. It could be argued that Crucible was not leading the development of ...

Been a mystery to me why Spyderco has offered no 3V folder other than the Tuff.

I’d be pretty much open to 3V in any Spydie capable of hard use.

I don’t like disturbances in the Spyderco ecosystem, so this news sucks hardly less than Crucible. Are exclusively online sales making brick and mortar stores unsustainable, as in other lines of business?

I’m certain I haven’t lost my REX121 Sage5. It’s somewhere in my house.

…it’s gotta be!!!

Many happy returns, Sal.

My SPY27 Bodacious arrived today. What a great design. Mine is without a flaw. Love the smooth G10 and its color.

If the OG didn’t grab you as it did me, give this one some thought.

I’ll take interesting over best every day of the week, but, yes, I like backlocks.

I reckon I’m in the crowd (if it exists) that doesn’t see a reason for the button.

Perhaps I don’t because the button first appeared in the Smock, which appealed to my eye not even for a second.

But, in truth, the compression-lock is just fine by me, and I wonder if some people prefer other locks ...

Happy for you, Larry.

The Chaparral and Bodacious are faves because they’re new flavors of faves, but the COBOL is the biggest fave here because it’s a new design that’s compellingly weird to me.
