I’d forgotten that. I have been disregarding coated blades forever. That may change now that Eric is teasing us with an in-house concoction.

Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?
One thing that always feels a little off with regard to the comp lock is the somewhat unnatural way I have to pinch the knife with basically just my fingertipps when disengaging the lock. When disengaging a liner lock the contact area is much greater since the knife kind of rests on the phalanxes o...

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
It remains a mystery to me why neither 3V nor 4V has been offered in a Manix.

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
Matt, glad you fleshed-in all the predictive AI I vaguely meant in my reference to “algorithms”. Very scary.
Scarier still is that far too many of us are moths to a flame.

Re: Chaparral
It seems like Spyderco has given up on introducing new handle materials which was one of the original missions of the Chaparral line. The last Chaparral with a new handle material was Birdseye Maple which was at dealers in January 2021. Perhaps like the Sage line, we’ll soon end up with just FRN sc...

Re: Salt color differences
Just curious, my Salts all come from authorized spyderco dealers so I’m not overly concerned about any of them not being genuine but I noticed my Native 5 SE in Magnacut is a slightly more orangey yellow color. Was there a change in color for the FRN scales on that model? Also I was thinking of pic...

Re: Sal, a handle forward Lil Native?
Perhaps it would be better suited the name lil bodacious? Could it still be bodacious if it is very small? Maybe the Lil' Spunky or Precocious would fit that size. :winking-tongue As for choils, I'm not sure it is a requirement, though it may be preferred by some. As an example, the McBee is much s...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco
So long as AI does not infringe (intellectual property; job opportunities), Job opportunities? Technology always eliminates jobs. Have you seen a car factory lately? It may create new job opportunities but on the whole it’s rare to see an increase in low skilled jobs when a technology takes hold. E...

Re: SALT Liners
I recall Sal saying that, its blade aside, any Salt using metals (for screws, locks, clips, and even liners) is using metals that are super corrosion-resistant. He’s also said that he prefers not to disclose what these metals are. That galvanic reaction is such a rare thing in Spyderco’s Salts (most...

Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal
While I much like LC200N (more for its toughness than edgeholding), and am still waiting on MagnaCut in a model I want, I’m gladdened to hear that an H1 Pacific Salt SE remains the king of nasty cutting. I imagine my new H1 Jumpmaster2 SE will perform similarly. I regard my Pac Salt so highly that I...

Re: Anyone else hoping for a 15V Wharncliffe Lil Native?
I find the relative lack of interest in the Lil Native Wharnie remarkable. I like mine a lot but do not feel the need for upgraded steel personally. I wouldn't say no though!! You’ve pretty much caught my thoughts, but while I wouldn’t say no, I do begrudge any ask that I think unnecessary. I’m jea...
