Re: MT39P – CPM 15V Mule Team Dropping Soon!

I haven't seen a buy button since it opened....still says coming soon? Never had an issue before. I really wanted 2 of these as well. You're not by chance looking at the T15 Mule page instead of the 15V Mule page by mistake are you? Yes. I am a very dull edge today apparently. I was rushing and hit...

Got one. All in all about 6min. This time was a lot easier than other "hot" steels.

Re: What is MT36?

I believe it could be elastic caramic. I don't remember correctly, but I'm pretty sure Sal mentioned something in the line "we're working on it ". With that being said, elastic ceramic may be MT36. Or MT46. Being worked on doesn't necessarily mean it's coming soon. Just in case I'll keep m...

Re: 15V, after the mule, what's next?

As Sal already said it - more real life feedback from using and sharpening 15V. Spyderco needs as much info as possible so they can consider 15V for a standard production. If we keep our knives only in the pocket and cut apple or two, we're going to stay with the sprints only. So use your knives fol...

Re: Why is the PM2 more popular when the Manix 2 is objectively better?

Let's not forget about the fact that pm2 is highly customizable. Scales, clips, backspacers, you name it . If there's a material that can be machined there's a good chance there's scales made out of it for the pm2. And it's a closed circle - more options for tinkering with the knife drives the sales...

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!

Considering the fact the last mule in M398 at 80$ a piece is still in stock and we just got regular production SPY27 i would say second half of the year. If we're lucky. It's a shame really... M398 is a interesting steel to play with. Not saying it's in my top 10, but still very interesting. And app...

Re: Z-Max: and/or/vs. 15V

I'm too very pleased by the performance of Z-Max. But I doubt we'll ever see it in a sprint run or exclusive. As far as I remember there were some warped pieces and I suspect the post HT machining is more difficult than 15V. We wouldn't even see 15V if it wasn't for BBB's custom developed HT protoco...

Re: Price increases 2023?

I believe it could be because the dealers in Europe are not getting discounts. I mean, they buy from Spyderco or other dealers in bulk with just current MAP taken off and eventually no tax added. If you're not getting additional discounts you can't offer lower prices because you have to cover all th...

This is inevitable in today's world. And as usual, some folks will be affected a lot, others not so much. Some may stop buying any knives, but then again there's always new people starting into knives. We can see them in the forums and the social media. Obviously the overseas customers will be hit h...

Re: What Spyderco that was DISCONTINUED would you like to see back.

I would say Hundred Pacer. Seriously underestimated knife. Had a chance to play with it and I was impressed. I couldn't get one for reasons and I was secretly cheering for the lack of love for it, believing it will be in stock forever. Once I got back on my feet... Surprise! Out of stock literally e...
