Spyderco Forums

I haven't bought a new knife in a long time but man this thing looks sweet.

@kennethsime always think about you when I see Crucarta NC. Wondering if you getting one?

I’m still on the fence. I’ve been waiting for this one for so long, but now I’m thinking about holding off a bit longer for the CruCarta Bodacious. The Shaman with micarta is still the best-looking Spyderco ...

Man, that is a good deal on a Shaman.

Really hoping for a Crucarta model. I’m ok with any of the Cruwear analogues.

Lovely salad. Glad to see the ULB getting some use around the house!

No. Knives are consumable, just like cars: you will eventually use up the blade.

You can buy a Tenacious for that price, it’s a good knife. Will work hard for you as long as you keep it clean, sharp, screws tight, and pivot lubed.

There’s never any word on when anything will be released. That is not how Spyderco works.

It’ll be ready when it’s ready.

We’ve been watching Animal Kingdom on Netflix, took a few clips:

I think it’s a Tenacious.

I've actually never owned a Bugout. The only Benchmade I've got is an S30V Sheepsfoot Grip. I've been thinking about maybe getting a 2nd hand Bugout just to see what all the fuss is about (I know I'm about 10 years late to the party, but that's my style ...

I definitely agree it's a Police given those screen grabs. The multi-grind blade is a dead giveaway.

I agree whole-heartedly, but hope they'll omit the liners. I also hope the Native 5 will be linerless.

I made a G10-K390 Dragonfly, but I find I don't carry it nearly as often as my LW model. The action is a bit stiff, and the extra weight doesn't help me do anything.

I almost brought it with me ...

My first two Spydercos. The Stretch I think I lost backpacking in the Sierra Nevada. The Dragonfly I think fell out of my pocket during a fairly routine day - no idea. The clip was probably loose.

I lost a Matriarch 2 in the glovebox of a car that was totaled ...

Hey Doc,

I don't think the video link came through.

I can't wait for the Crucarta Native Chief. I hope Spyderco has enough Cruwear already on order or already in back stock that this won't be a problem.

Welcome, Bibek!

My first call into W&R told me those screws are not in stock.

Anyone know their specs, so I could take them to McMaster-Carr?


I don't know where you're based, but in similar cases I've been successful with taking the screws down to my local neighborhood hardware store and comparing the screws ...

Yeah, that’s a sweet knife. I think most people can get by with a Dragonfly most of the time. It’s my favorite knife to gift by far.

Still sad I lost that knife.

Thanks ZD, this was really cool to read through. The only other review I've consumed was from a wingnut on YouTube, and he gave the Genzow very poor marks. I'm happy to read that someone is enjoying it so thoroughly.

I really like the Manix, but more despite the CBBL rather than because of, so not sure I’m up for more of those in any size. But I’d get pretty excited for a smaller sized, backlock Manix.


Couldn’t have worded any better!


Kind of already exists.
