Re: What Spyderco is next for me? (Stagnation)

I did own a Manix 2 and sold it last year. It just didn't do it for me.

I like the want to like the Military but I just don't like liner locks.

What is the forum knife? I haven't been super active on the forum lately.

Re: 3 Spydies that you really wanted to like but didn't in t

1.) Manix with a FFG. I wanted to love it, I wanted one for a long time, but it just doesn't do it for me. 2. Caly 3.5 I thought it would be like a bigger, more capable Delica. It is a bigger but not really more capable Delica in my opinion and I am probably going to sell it. 3.) Super Blue Stretch-...

Re: Sway me Stretch in SuperBlue or ZDP-189

I finally picked the Stretch in Super Blue. But I waffled so long I couldn't find one in stock. Luckily one came up for sale for $95 on another forum last night. It only has one little chip in the pocket clip paint. There is already a patina on the Super Blue but based on his pictures the knife is L...

Re: When is the Military 2 coming out?

Give the military the ability to do tip up carry and it would be a lot higher on my list. I wouldn't mind a compression lock either.

Sway me Stretch in SuperBlue or ZDP-189

I have wanted a Spyderco Stretch for a long time. It would complete my collection of Spyderco knives with FRN scales. I already own the Dragonfly, Delica, and Endura in VG-10 and I need to add a Stretch. I want to try it in a different steel though. What can you tell me about SuperBlue or ZDP-189 to...

Re: Why do I almost always choose a 3" EDC blade?

I was just talking to my Dad about something similar. I like three inch blades a lot. I also like 3.5 and 4 inch blades. I don't mind a heavier/longer knife that will stabilize itself in my pocket.

Good to hear. You still have time to edit your thread title. :D Did you get the VG-10/G-10 or the ZDP-189/Carbon fiber? Thread title edited. I bought it in VG-10 with the black g-10 scales. Other than the grittiness and difficulty opening after I owned the knife for a whole hour I really like it. T...

Thanks I'll give that a shot. Anyone else have any other ideas?

Quite happy with the Caly 3.5 so far.

I bought one today and it was only a bit rough but in the last hour of opening it, it has become more rough. No matter how I adjust the pivot screw it does not get any better. Any ideas? That isn't true anymore, I followed the advice of the gentlemen who replied first to this thread, took the blade...

My first Spyderco was an Endura 4 with a saber grind. But that one didn't hook me, it was the Spyderco Delica 4 with a saber grind and the Tasmin Salt. Those were the two that served me well in South Africa.

Any word on the release for the Tatanka?

I really want one before I run off to Africa.
