I’m happy with the prospect of further steel offerings beyond REX121 in the Sage5, but would prefer the Sage6 and after to return to S30V and new locks. Which locks they should be I am content to be surprised. Any repeat of earlier Sages would have CQI, I hope. I’m thinking particularly of the Sage2...

A quintessential Spydie? I’d say the one with a hole in the blade. You’re welcome. Now you can’t make the wrong choice. Sal’s designs, Eric’s, MJ’s, Ed’s and other Glesserized collaborators, all of them, are fair game. All you need to do is match a Spydie model to your particular need and price-tole...

It remains a mystery to me why neither 3V nor 4V has been offered in a Manix.

There is the St. Nick's sprint in 4V

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.

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...

I enjoy mine as much as the day I opened the box , changed clip and put in my pocket . Feel the same with my original C95 . MG2

Same here, regarding both.

Ultralighters and miniaturists, avert your eyes!

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.

I have two coming in: Jumpmaster2 SE in H1, and an Enuff2 in VG10 w/SE. Both from REC. Are they a reputable company? Posting in a thread that's 10 years running!

REC is as good as the models you’ve ordered.

Each is a winner, I think you will agree.

Thanks, Sal, for shedding some light on some decisions that Spyderco has taken. Reasonable and reassuring, as usual.

No interest here.

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...

My favorite is my first one, the BBS-exclusive M4 Manix2, from when M4 was still uncommon.

Is the yellow highlight button NOT WORKING for anyone else?

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...

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...

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...

Thanks, Wouter. Particularly appreciated the Charisma video.

Wow, Robin! Puts your Stretch in a whole other category.

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...
