Re: Which steel for my next knife? (Lil' Native)

The Lil Native is a great choice! Those are three fantastic options to choose from as well. It’s a tough call. My favorite of that bunch is the Knifejoy 20CV version but I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them even if you’re leaning more towards one of the other two. If you’re looking to b...

Re: Native Scout?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!!! :party-face Unfortunately though, it’s just easier for people on here to tell Spyderco to invest resources into creating the knife they want opposed to them making a personal investment to get what they want. I don’t want to call it selfishness, because I know wh...

Re: Native Scout?

I don’t see a problem with people recommending a design they would like to see spyderco produce. It shouldn’t matter if it could be achieved by custom work. A lot of people aren’t going to do that. I agree with nicks point about it feeling like a pretty redundant design to be financially viable.. B...

I got one from KSF as well.

I don't even go fishing, but I'm curious to try the model out.
There’s always time to start! 🎣 ;)

Re: Your Favorite Slysz Design And Why

For me it’s probably the Techno or Techno 2. Tough call. If we’re talking about non-Spyderco Slysz designs though, I’m quite fond of a lot of his most recent work. For example, the “Mini Draken” folder! https://i.imgur.com/PPbJGDP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TEYoG6e.jpg I also really like his “ANU Flipp...

Re: Native Scout?

All we have to do to prove my point about redundancy is take a look at all the wharncliffes on last years discontinued list. You're conflating blade shape with blade and overall length. The wharnies were discontinued across all sizes of the Seki back locks. The Endela, the half-inch increment of th...

Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?

Thanks Sal, I appreciate the insight. I don’t mean to impose but if I may ask - at Spyderco, is lock choice for a new model primarily the designers decision or is that decision influenced and made after an R&D process? Maybe it’s a unique process each time or decided another way all together bu...

Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?

The compression lock offers advantages over the liner lock in more ways than one but it being Spyderco’s own design is probably a large contributing reason for it often being used in favor of the liner lock.

I would still question if there is room in the catalog for a fourth size of Native iteration at the moment? How about a fifth size? …sixth? Why stop there?
