Spyderco Forums

1. Yojumbo 2 Pinches my hand every time I open it with the spydie hole. I have over a dozen other spydies with a compression lock, and this is the only one that does it.

2. Leafstorm I Loved the way it looked, but the ergos in my opinion were just BAD.

3. Nilakka This is the smoothest opening ...

My wife caries a Tattoo Ladybug and a pink mini grip in her purse, but I can't get her to carry a knife in a pocket.

Oh Geee....... To know for sure might take a team of archaeologists. But I remember carrying a Schrade Old Time way back in the early 60's. I guess that I was maybe 6 or 7 at the time. That was back when most boys carried a knife in their pocket. To school, to church, pretty much everywhare.

Of COURSE they are toys. Big boy toys! Just like our cars, guns, tools, etc....

You just gotta play nice!

I'm sure that it's possible to wear out a locking mechanism, but I haven't on even ONE of my Spydies.

At least this guy admits that they are fake so you can avoid it.

But what about the sellers that sell these as real Spydies? This thing looks pretty genuine, which is scary.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Have a safe holiday and don't eat too much!

I like my PPT quite a bit as well. The extended jimping on the spine is great for doing precision cutting with the point of the knife. I also like the asymmetrical scale design. It makes the knife unusual looking with the thick lock slab that can't decide if it's a frame or liner lock. The knife is ...

Actually, my favorite knife reviewer is a German guy by the name of Stefan Schmalhaus. His reviews are always concise and very informative. Many of his reviews have a back story telling the history of the company that makes the knife or where the design came from. He's a graphics professional by ...

Sal, if you went with a 2.5, it would fall very nicely in the "Gentleman's Folder" catagory. So I would use a premium scale material. I know that there have been issues with wood, but how about a polished micarta, something like the Phoenix had?

It's nice to see a new addition to the ethnic series. The Hungarian looks very intriguing.

The Zulu. It's so capable in use and its ergonomics are off the charts but its odd looks keep it off the radar for many folks. It's one of the few knives that I have an almost impossible time parting with.

I really like my Zulu, but the recurved blade makes it a challenge to maintain the edge ...

I'm really not sure, but I think that the "Hump" on the spine might be the reason that I don't have even one Stretch as of yet. I have 11 Delica variants and 7 Endura's, and you would think that the stretch would fit right in with those two.

Divo, so-called low level discussions like this one is one of the ways that the folks at Spyderco use to decide on changes for their models, and even to design entirely new models. From what I see here, everybody was politely expressing their views and ideas until your post. At least the folks at ...

I can understand the "Made in USA" preference. As a general rule, way too much spent here goes to pay the wages of folks outside of our borders. I try to "Buy American" as much as possible, with the exception of my knife and watch collection. At least in the knife category a person CAN buy US made ...

All the time. Yesterday it was my Nilakka at a steakhouse. That almost zero grind blade made an awesome steak knife!

Awesome program Sal! Thanks for your support!

Hmmm.. I haven't seen them at my local Air Force base. Wonder if they are sold in the exchange or the military clothing sales store?

I have a few left, but I need the he right knife to come up first so I can jump back in. This thread has turned into a pictoral who's who of Spyderco knives. Very cool.

I wish I had time for an online game.

That's easy.... Just don't SLEEP! Worked for me for years!


This thread was an awesome idea. I just wish I could catch more of the ones that I have when I'm home. It's like: Dang missed that one, and that one, don't have that one, missed that one...... Hey I ...
