Spyderco Forums

I contacted Steve and he is making a lowrider now for this knife. There is no better source IMO.

That said I have his clips on every spyderco I own that don't have a factory fold over wire clip, so I might be a bit jaded.

The pre-order page says "We have sold the 1st shipment of 100qty, all orders from now will remain as pre-order and ship when the knives come available.". The product page says "(KNIFEWORKS EXCLUSIVE), (PRE-ORDER)" It should be clear to those looking now. Sorry, if my reply seemed...

If you order it now, you are preordering. This isn't that difficult to follow.

I tend to doubt it too (yo2 being more popular), 3.1" 4oz wharnie hollow ground blades have a somewhat specialized market IMO.

Really? Spyderco has it listed as 5.2oz:

Even though I bought 2 early, I hope KW will think about shipping me only one out of the first batch and the second from a later so that more guys can get one out of the first batch. IIRC, they did that with the M390 millies. As an aside, I noticed that the KW site lists the weight as 5.9oz. I hope ...

Two in the hand is better than one in the bush. I will not use both, one will be a user and the second will be saved, either as a backup if I fall in love with it, or it will be returned to the market later. As someone who has built a collection of Carbon Fiber limited production runs, many on the s...

I'm in for 2. Their website was slammed, took me 10 minutes to check out and multiple tries.

One of the best knives I have is the "Carbon Fiber SuperLeaf" I cobbled together out of a frankenstein combinations of a CF SuperHawk and a SuperLeaf by doing a blade swap (Leaf blade into the CF body). I sure would love to see spyderco make this as a production blade, as I'm sure it would...

As for natural materials..... not really. I prefer the feel and look of CF, titanium, or colored glass fiber to stag or bone. Besides that, if one of my knives had wood handles..... they would crack in about 20 minutes during the humid summers I get here. While I am also a huge fan of CF also, I ha...

As I understand it, the only issue with deer antler from the US is the core is not very stable, sort of a honeycomb. I cant see why it can't be stabilized like some woods are, or the outer section used for knife scales. Gotta agree with your observation of white tales in the Norheast, I know they ar...

Not wanting to start a debate on ethics of which I actually think everything used should be done so responsibly . Farming Toucans no I'm talking wood , mop which can be farmed and is used under strict catch quota , and bone or horn from animals that have lived not killed for the material if you get...

I like micarta too, in my Temperance 2, and Street Beat, but AFAIK it is not a natural material (It is an engineered material, designed for electrical insulation in a thermosetting plastic).

I found my ZDP Spydies (Stretch, Caly 3, Caly 3.5) are virtual scalpels sharpened on my Wicked Edge at 30 degrees, I take them down to 1 micron strops, and hand strop them afterwards (maybe this is how I "distress the edge"?) They are the best slicers I have, bar none. And they hold that e...

I would love to see a Temperance 2 in Sambar Stag.

Light, durable, grip, and just plain looks cool.

I will say ZDP-189, followed by S90v then M390 for me.

Don't know why, but for me with a low angle edge there's something about that ZDP.

Sign me up for a K390 military, that would be a dream.

I haven't ever bought a knife with the intention of flipping it. I have had to sell some of my best ( example: S90V millie) due to things like emergency bills ( usually dog health, I spent well over $3000 on Finn's vet bills last year alone, and about $1800 so far this year). In cases like that I w...

Yeah, what's taking so long?

On second thought I can wait and wait for that one.

I carry my Hossom Forester in my back pocket. It's a little uncomfortable sometimes, but it doesn't stick out much :o

Put me in the camp of front pocket carry.
