A Back Lock versus a mid Back Lock is where you press to disengage the lock. A back lock like in the Buck 110 you have to press at the very bottom which is very inconvenient for one-handed closing. The mid back lock like in Spyderco folders has the disengagement in the middle which makes it easy to ...

I keep getting some of the same older email notifications. For instance, I got an email today that TazKristi had quoted me in this thread which was like a month ago, and I’ve received that same email notification a few times now. Same here. I received two old emailed notifications at 12:17pm PT. Al...

Is your knife maybe a little dried out? Sometimes G10 can get a chalky appearance to it that you can get rid of with a little oil or even hand lotion. Maybe try that before you dye it and see if that doesn't get what you want. If you still feel you need to dye it afterwards, make sure you scrub the...

Hi RamZar,

I used a serrated Chaparral last night and it worked very well. Felt good also. I think you'll like it.

Great!

Any news on the Chaparral XHP SpyderEdge & Gray FRN which was announced 6 months ago in Reveal 14 on October 18, 2023?

We have two new locks of our own that we've not been able to fit into production.

I’m guessing Ball Bearing Lock™ & PowerLock™.

The Crossbar (Axis) Lock seems to be gaining much more in popularity since the Benchmade patent ran out in 2016 (you still can’t call it Axis lock due to trademarks). I’ve gotten several impressive ones from various brands with different names for the Crossbar Lock: — Hogue - ABLE Lock — Kershaw - ...

I'd be super interested in Spyderco's take on a crossbar lock as well as Snecx's Superlock. A Sage in a Crossbar Lock would be awesome!

I got a Waterway from KSF. I don't know if it's a great deal or not, but I wanted to get one before they were gone for good.

Congrats!

Waterway has been on sale since it was discontinued in August 2023.

I don’t see deals. Para3 CPM-SPY27 Satin Plain Blade & Cobalt Blue G10 is on sale for $192.38 which is 32% off MSRP where MAP just until recently was 30% off MSRP. I say try to hold out for 45%+ off MSRP. KnifeCenter says the sale ends at 11:59pm ET on April 15th. https://i.imgur.com/I5B7tqC.jpe...

All three proposed Sage 5 models below would be nice:

— MagnaCut Yellow FRN
— LC200N Green FRN
— K390 Blue FRN

Of course, a new locking mechanism would be the icing on the cake.

Nice collection, toneyc.

That’s all the 11 released.

Two more coming:

— Sage5 Lightweight CPM-REX121 Burnt Orange FRN C123PBOR (Taiwan) - Amsterdam Meet (FEB 2024)
— Sage5 Lightweight CPM-SPY27 Cobalt Blue FRN C123PCBL (Taiwan) - SHOT Show (JAN 2024)

The email notifications for subscribed threads is now working fine.

Thank You.

So true. Always Be Learning! There is no one way!

Obviously, Spyderco is prioritizing the best selling models for MagnaCut release ahead of those announced even earlier. The UKPK MagnaCut models were announced in the 2023 Spyderco Product Guide on January 6, 2023. Since then, other models announced later have been released ahead of them: Manix2, Pa...

Did a similar poll a year ago with 74% voting for “Tip Up Right Hand” carry . The April 2024 issue of the Spyderco byte newsletter has a very informative section on the subject called “ Tip-Up Versus Tip-Down Carry ”. There is no best way! Personal preference dictates. My personal preference for Tip...

Chaparral Salt SpyderEdge.

In the post below when I included two image links it duplicated them.
