Re: Solar Eclipse!

Great shots, Rick! I got a handful of photos of the partial eclipse here in Mass. The maximum coverage I saw was about as much as your second photo. If I wasn’t working today, I was planning to drive up to Maine to get into the path of totality. Luckily I wasn’t busy and could still check it out, at...

Re: Boating and lanyards

One wine bottle cork is not nearly enough to float a 3 Oz knife. Maybe about half a dozen corks would do it but then you have half a dozen wine bottle corks dangling off your knife. Four might be enough and if you don’t mind having a four cork sized lanyard tied on, that could be your solution. I ca...

Re: Boating and lanyards

I use retractable lanyards on some of my gear while fishing. For example forceps on a retractable lanyard attached to my waders or a T2 Toothpick with a retractable lanyard on my ice fishing bibs. A knife on a retractable lanyard might come in handy if you have a good place to clip it on to. I might...

Re: Boating and lanyards

I’ve tried to find a reasonably sized float with enough buoyancy to support the weight of a Salt but everything I found was either too big, to the point where it was more obtrusive than convenient, or just not buoyant enough to float the knife in general. I just trust the pocket clip and accept the ...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?

The Delica 4.

Although the Paramilitary 2 might also meet the OPs criteria.

If this ever actually happened the price out in the collectors’ market would be through the roof.
I agree! I would love to find a blemish of this magnitude for the collection.

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

It’s important to discern opinions from objective truths when watching those “expert” knife review videos. If any of the so called “experts” are explicitly stating “liner locks are bad because it puts your finger in the path of the blade” that would be a good example of both in one statement and how...

@weeping minora :winking-tongue Sorry, I couldn’t resist!

@JSumm :rofl When I first heard that the Shaman could be front flipped I had to check and try it for myself. Well I can confirm that it is in fact able to be front flipped. :nerd

Brand new Shaman missing something very important!

Just got this brand new Shaman and it’s missing the Spydiehole! :thinking

Do they all come like this now or should I just return this for a new one?

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?

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...

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...
