Yeah I like this knife too much to sell my user.

My Maxamet Native has been my go to Native 5 LW lately. I still love my trusty black/S35VN version but I've been impressed by how Maxamet takes an edge and keeps it.

Great job young sir!

Sometimes I like the grippy bi-directional texturing on the LWs and sometimes I like something that slips in and out of the pocket a little easier. The G10 knives provide the best of both worlds IMO. I don't think any of them are better all around. They just have different characteristics.

Do you happen to remember how far forward you had to remove the spring?

I've moved the springs in both of mine and it was about a 1/8" (3mm) maybe even less. It doesn't take much to make a significant difference.

I saw Jonny Lang at House of Blues in Dallas the other night. All I can say is....Wow!!!

Welcome Cowboy!

It's a slippery slope.

Haha Yep! It's hard to stop sliding once you get going too.

Yeah, Jazz's photos really turned me. Slip joints have always scared me a little. I mean why not get just get a backlock, right? But maybe I will try one and see my fears were unfounded. We shall see. Still tossing this around. I do like wire clips and red G10... :) I was also concerned about the n...

Happy Birthday sir! Hope your day is Xceptnl

I'll take s30v over s35vn any day of the week, and nights and weekends too.

I'm just curious why? I actually like S35VN better but I think it just has to do with it being a little more exclusive in Spyderco's line up vs S30V.

S30v is more than enough for me. Easy to touch up on the sharpmaker. Haven't experienced chipping.

Same here. I've been very happy with my S30V knives

Massdrop mainly ships in a box

My SG spydie came in a large padded envelope. Spyderco box inside wrapped in a bubble wrap.

I think mine did too. I'm pretty sure the only times I've received something in a box from MD was when I ordered knives that came with a pouch.

It works pretty good but still not ideal IMO. Great work yes that qualifies. How much for two? :) The forum rules say...

I just ordered a couple, idk why people say it’s ended? Endura still up as well.

It's not uncommon for MD to put a time limit on a drop and then start another drop immediately after.

I was thinking about not keeping my SG Delica. But after carrying my V-TOKU 2 Delica the past few days I dont think I can resist trying Super Gold.

This run needs super blue!
I'd be in for 2 of each.
Please make it happen SAL!

Then it wouldn't be Super Gold it would be Super Blue. Super Blue is in the next thread over.

I have two versions of the Caly 3, one in zdp-189 with a carbon fiber handle, and the other the sprint in hap40 with a g10 handle. I'm probably only going to keep one, so I was thinking I should keep the hap40 because I have read it's easier to sharpen and I'm not very good at knife sharpening (I'd...

Welcome to the forum ctrikard. I enjoy variety and most locks, but after a lifetime of using all different kinds, I've come full circle to appreciate the elegant simplicity and user friendly nature of a back lock. It also allows for a thin and linerless knife, which along with the self close bias a...

I'm with you Spydergirl! It's a little different for me though. I haven't found the one model for me but I feel like I have examples of all the models I really want. There are still a couple that'll I'll probably pick up. I'll get a Para 3 LW and I still haven't bought a Lil Native. I'll get around ...
