Spyderco Forums

Mine arrived from Howes today. Beautiful knife with perfect fit and finish.

I purchased one from Cutlery Shoppe, but realized CTS-XHP is a bit overkill (in my opinion) for a nice little slicer like the Chaparral. However, the price is the same as the S30V so it is still a great upgrade.

My Forum Knife arrived today it is certainly a beautiful knife. Way to go Spyderco!

Looks like the first of the forum knife is for sale on another knife forum...I hope people aren't too crazy with the mark-up on these Native 5's...

Good one...No I decided to leave some for the other folks on the forum.

I just changed my mistake of ordering 2 knives to 1 over the phone. Spyderco Customer Service is top notch! Thanks!

That was crazy. I added one to the cart, it took about 10 tries for it to accept my shipping/billing address with a zip code error. When I got to the payment page, I had 2 in the cart... So I ordered 2 because I didn't want to go back to the quantity page and fix it.

The exact same thing happened ...

Done! Wow that was exhilarating!

I love my Sharpmaker! UF Rods really make it sing!

I am really looking forward to getting one of these!

Beautiful pics of a classic knife!

I don't have a Mule yet, but Dream of owning the Spyderco Mule Team 11 (M390) someday. Thanks for this giveaway and congrats on the 2500 post!

Yes, they are back. They even have some black in stock this time. Mine should arrive tomorrow according to the tracking information.

Those sure went quick!

FYI! Howe's has some Paramilitary 2 Digi Camo Satin in stock.

This is kind of a weird question, but did everyone's Techno come in a cut open plastic? I bought mine from HKS and was just wondering if they came from the factory in a cut open plastic or it's supposed to be sealed. I saw that tuffthumbz on YT has the same cut open plastic.

Mine came sealed ...

I haven't had a chance to put the Southard to any hard use, but it feels great in my hand.

Is that stock or did you modify it?

It is a stock clip. The Techno and Southard both have an "AM" (January 2013) date code. However, the Techno clip is darker than one I purchased last Summer.

Here are some comparison pictures of two of my favorite Spyderco knives. I am very impressed with the quality of these knives.
