Hmm...there's a lot I've liked after my join date (01/16). If I had to pick one I guess it would be the 40th Anniversary Native 5. The Cruwear Shaman is up there though. I only have a few models that were released (and discontinued) before my join date. All were regular production items. I recently ...

Was anyone here lucky enough to win a lottery pick at BladeHQ? I was not, as I expected. Sadly, I expect to see another surge of flippers on Ebay and Bladeforums. This backs up the idea this run was smaller than the typical sprint. I see a lot of people saying this but I'm still not sure it wasn't ...

I know lots of folks like the hassle and chase of sprints, but why not just make the Micarta and [high end steel] Shaman a regular production knife, like the S110V/Blurple ones. Demand is clearly through the roof, and it seems silly to keep a great material and great tool away from people who might...

I own a few DLC-coated blades; a couple of ZTs (both in S30V blades) and a Cold Steel Broken Skull (in CTS-XHP). Spyderco-wise, a PM2 in S35VN and my new Manix 2 in S30V. I just got the Manix 2 about a week ago so I can’t comment on it yet, but the others have never gotten any rust on them. Maybe I...

I have had my m390 lw p3 for a week now and I really love this version a lot but it has to be the most slippery frn knife I have owned. I’ve dropped it 3 times while trying to close it. I probably wouldn’t have this problem if I wasn’t a lefty and had to switch the clip but I think the solution is ...

Getting all my gear ready for Veterans Day. :) Hey Sharp Guy may I ask, what is that smaller knife? It looks almost like a Goddard design! I'm going to guess - Massdrop Ferrum Forge Gent? Yep! Connor's got it! I love these little knives! https://i.imgur.com/hRRES5eh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NNfBML0h...

Has it ever been confirmed that this one will actually use PD-1? I know Sal said that they would use a "complementary" steel but has he actually said it's PD-1? I guessed PD-1 early on but that was just a guess. Anything else is just speculating. Seems to be a lot of that going on.

Getting all my gear ready for Veterans Day.

Out of 100+ knives I haven't returned one to the dealer yet and have no plans to. I've actually only had two that had an issue. One I fixed myself and the other went to Spyderco's W&R department.

I'm good with just the Lil' Native and happy with my Dragonflies. Not really sure I'd want a smaller Para 3.

Is Rex45 complimentary to Cruwear?

They're both tool steels but their compositions are different. Rex 45 is pretty close to HAP40

If I had to guess they're going to use PD1

This thread may just go on forever....

I am pleased to announce that there was a special meeting for management on this thread and they decided to make another run of brown canvas Micarta Shamans. We'll use a different, but complimentary steel and make twice as many as the first sprint.

That news will be received well!

I think these would look great anodized blue...maybe even a nice platform for a custom anodizing job

SCORE!!!!!

Ugh... I am so opposed to the idea of lotteries. If this becomes the new trend I will be needing to reevaluate some things. I won’t be playing that game. There is one easy way to solve this... Someone could make more product so that ELUs don’t have to keep doing these stupid human tricks. As long a...

Ugh... I am so opposed to the idea of lotteries. If this becomes the new trend I will be needing to reevaluate some things. I won’t be playing that game. You and me both pal. I am sure they did it with the best intentions but it's not really the way to handle it IMO. I get why they did it but if I ...

Got mine today from BBS it’s awesome except for paying full retail the blade isn’t centered at all

Shouldn't be too hard to center
