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

^ I'm with James & Sal

As much as I like my liner (and frame) locks, I have great appreciation of the compression lock

Re: Native Scout?

Having all these different sizes within a model family is kind of silly but that I don't really see why people get all bent out of shape when people ask for another tweener size. I'd rather see new models come out instead of the same ol' thing but that's just me. If someone wants a 3.5" Native ...

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread

....However, the glass-smooth finish of the Caly 3.5 CF leaves much to be desired. ...for you. For me I really like the smooth CF more than I ever thought I would. It glides in and out of my pocket easily and it doesn't shred my pockets. The shape of the handle provides a sure grip when in use. I w...

Re: Chaparral

I’d like to see a Chaparral MagnaCut Yellow FRN before the old chap says goodbye. By the way, the Chaparral Stepped Titanium (without blue anodizing) is a stunning piece of functional art. Very time-consuming and expensive 3D CNC machining. https://i.imgur.com/zRE2ZRP.jpeg ^ That's one I do regret ...

Re: Chaparral

It seems like Spyderco has given up on introducing new handle materials which was one of the original missions of the Chaparral line. The last Chaparral with a new handle material was Birdseye Maple which was at dealers in January 2021. Perhaps like the Sage line, we’ll soon end up with just FRN sc...

Re: Jende Spyderco stones for guided sharpeners.

Interesting, they do list a US facility: USA - 1900 E. GIrard Pl. #300 Englewood, CO 80133 Is it possible they are cutting the spyderco 2x8 stones down and reselling them? We also switched gears with our sharpening stones to focus more on the custom cut stone sizes for the growing number of guided ...

Re: Smock: new style pivot

On one hand I can appreciate CQI. On the other hand these rolling changes lessen the value of the pre-CQI models. Or it could actually increase the collector value because it’s the original version that is no longer being made. ;) For example, a collector might be willing to pay a little bit extra ...

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

Wasn't worth $300 back then, not worth $450 now I agree. I passed on the SB when they were originally for sale. Not interested now. I have plenty of other Ti framelock knives that make me happy. However, the SB apparently makes a lot of other people happy. Obviously, based on this latest run, it's ...

Re: Upping the price.

Prices are inflated for everything. It's not just a Spyderco thing I'm fortunate to have a nice collection and most of the knives I have I was able to get below the normal price. Some I've purchased at normal price. It was my choice. So I can't complain. Those who are complaining, how many of these ...

Re: RIP - Toby Keith

Yeah I heard first thing this morning. I'm big music fan, including Toby Keith and country music. Last I heard I thought he was doing better but probably just a late rally.

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

I still don't see what the thrill is with the SB. I wasn't interested back when the original one was disco'd and reasonably priced. Definitely not interested in one at $450

I am wonder Whether the motivation was the very thin stock and thus the spring / backlock might be showing too much flex without the stop pin.
Sage 4 has the internal stop pin

I am looking forward to hearing the answer to this question.
Maybe Sal or Michael will chime in. Otherwise I suspect we won't get an answer to this question
