Re: Knife Addiction

That is really amazing, I don't know if I could contain myself if I were to see that collection in person! I just purchased my 3rd millie this morning. I will be the proud owner of one of the Bento Box Exclusives with smurf blue g-10 and CPM-S90v this Tuesday. That will put me at 7 Spyderco's. The ...

Camo military cqi?

I was curious if the latest run of C36GPCMOBK (the camo g-10 black blade military in s30v) have cqi with the lock pin being a machined piece rather than the older torx screw version. I mostly want to know this so I could play blade/scale swap.

Re: What's your favorite steel?

I have been torn between CPM-M4 and CPM-S110V. But lately I have been learning towards s110v. I take care of both really well, but the m4 is so care intensive and the rust spots are not very food service friendly.

Feeding my addiction

So in the roughly 3 years I have been an extremely proud owner of an increasing number of Spyderco knives I have learned one thing more than all else. That is how little I truly know about the blades I love. I rocked my Endura 4 ffg in vg-10 and thought that there could be no better knife made.

Now ...

Re: 2 weeks edc serrations

Well I am now saving up for either the Matriarch with the Emerson wave feature or the Pacific Salt SE. I think a fully serrated blade will give me a better idea of what to like (or hate) about serrations. Because now that I have a week or 10 days left on my month challenge, I still subconsciously go ...

Re: Mike Janich's modded Lil Yo2- any interest?

I guess it depends on my mood as of late. Since I got my 2 millies I don't use anything else. I want a full sized yoj2, but I couldn't see greater use or enjoyment from the modded one. I am also a pretty big guy with some big hands. Maybe an xl version of the yoj2 would be interesting?!?!

Re: 2 weeks edc serrations

I am lucky to have a boss that doesn't worry. He has known me a good while and I have always been that 'knife nut'. Most of the time I carry some of my bigger knives just because I can. No reason to have, something just for show. I like to get my money's worth. At my place of employment honestly any ...

Re: 2 weeks edc serrations

I am holding to it, just to say I tried. I will probably end up getting something SE like the matriarch or civilian. Maybe an Endura. I do see how ce and se can benefit some situations, but in my work and home life.... PE all day!


And if yall lives in Texas you can carry anything you so choose ...

2 weeks edc serrations

So I have been carrying my Endura 4 combo edge for 2 weeks now. I carry it on my right side so I reach for it first. I have been trying to give serrated blades a fair trial and I am still where I started. I could do without them. I like my two militarys (one in cpm m4 and the other in s110v) I ...

Re: Spyderco Knife Of The Year 2017

I bought a big fat ONE knife on this year’s list, and it’s awesome! Count my vote toward the BHQ M4 Millie. Love the CQI improvements and the fit/finish is perfect; I didn’t have to touch a single screw. Can’t even nitpick if I wanted, nothing else in my collection is good enough for my pocket ...

Re: I love the Spyderco Endura

I love my Endura 4 as well. I prefer the ffg, but a plain edge Saber is a beast. I will try to aquire a few more Endura 4 variants before I get too deep into my military addiction.

Re: 2018 Spyderco Resolutions


Working on my sharpening skills in 2018 is a goal I’m carrying over from 2017. I got decently good at freehand sharpening VG10 this year and picked up some M4 to play with. I’ve been in my dad’s shadow forever, he put a crazy edge on the ZDP Stretch I gave him the first time he put it to his well ...

Re: Spyderco knife retirement home.

I will be testing this very theory. I know that a gas station special lasts between a few days and up to about 3 or 4 months before they either break down or dull to an unusable state. My first Endura lasted for almost 2 years of what I considered hard use (non prying hard use) and I felt like that ...

Re: The Military is greater than all other folders because...

I am two days in to owning my first military and I have already purchased another. Of the almost 80 knives I own this one stands out in the crowd easily. The blade action, lock up, balance, weight, ergonomics, everything just screams premium. I even encountered a blade steel that is at the upper ...
