It's funny, I wish the chef was bigger and the swayback was smaller.

I want to try a Techno / Techno 2. Fat blades aren't my things but the design pulls me in
That's the big Spidiechef proto sitting on top of the yellow box.

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

For me the advantage of the Comp Lock is how I can open and close a knife with one hand without having to change my grip.

Most of the other locks; well I can close them sorta one handed with some gymnastics but it's for sure not as easy.

Re: LW SpydieChef please!

The Ti scales are pretty lightweight already. If the aim is for a FRN version so it costs less then first the mold costs will blow the savings out of the water and second since it's a frame lock that's a whole new can of worms.

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

Knife Joy did one run in 2021 with a promise for a second run in the future. Knife Joy did a second run in 2024. They seem to have released them in two batches to manage demand. They did a later release of their reserve stock after that via a lottery. They were smart and held reserve stock for the u...

You'd probably do better asking for ones made in Golden.

Obligatory Ultem photos.

Re: Your Favorite Slysz Design And Why

For me it's the Spidiechef (Honorable Mention to the Swayback in my pocket today).

The Spidiechef is a very usable knife that also carries very well.

Also a shout out to the Spidiechef 2 on Macin's instagram & the WASP that you can't find anywhere.

Re: What is your favorite Delica variant?

Well they wanted it to be around $100 because "It's only a Delica". So maybe that was 1960 dollars. Spyderco folders made in Japan with liners and G-10 are too pricey which is why so few are made today. — Stretch2 XL with Satin Cru-Wear & G-10: $304.88 — Civilian with Satin VG-10 &...

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

There has not been a Ti PM2 yet. There was a fluted Ti PM2 prototype that “escaped” the Golden factory years ago. I have pics of it on my computer at home and will post them later when I track them down. Obviously the model never made it into production but given they made at least one go of it, I’...
