Re: Official Sliverax Discussion Thread

I'm quoting myself here so read and improve upon your design dear knife designer. Howdy Mikael, Knife design is a balance of a lot of factors, and for this design I think we managed pretty well. A clip mount cannot be tucked as deeply into the handle end as a lanyard hole for lots of packaging reas...

Is this a flipper? Wow.. a flipper from Spyderco that doesn't cost $250+... the world has gone crazy. :p I looked at the knife and I see a need for improvements... the lanyard hole should be relocated and the pocket clip repositioned for better and deeper carry and there also needs to be a finger c...

Re: I Hate Japanese Spydies, Sorry

I really wish we could dispel the "steel hierarchy" myth. For example, it seems to me many people have a rigid mental construct of best to worst stainless steels that might go along the lines of S110V > S90V > M390 > CPM154 > S30V > VG10 > 154CM > 440C > AUS8. I'm just making stuff up, bu...

If AUS-8 is close to VG-10 then AUS-10 must really be some supah-dupah steel. :rolleyes:

Re: The Spyderco Dragonfly3

The Lil Native will be close to what you seek, once it gets FRNed I'm excited for that one. I like the size of the Dragonfly but not the handle. If you compare it to the Caly 3 in the picture above, you can see how the Caly and Native both have a swell where the middle finger goes. The Dragonfly is...

Re: How about a Manix2 in M390 and moonglow side scales?

Speaking of moon glow, I have been getting a lot of fruit bats at my hummingbird feeders during the night lately taking all the sugar water. I can see them in the moonlight. They will fly against the feeders and cause the sugar water to drip from the feeding stations and will keep at it again and a...

Re: How about a Manix2 in M390 and moonglow side scales?

Both of the Moonglow sprints have been through EDC Forums. EDC Forums had some sort of moonglow supplier. I believe one of the two parties or three parties Spyderco, EDC Forums, or the supplier; thought it was a bad idea to do more work with knives. I remember EDC Forums (Jon) said the material cos...

Re: The Spyderco Dragonfly3

I would like for the next iteration of the Dragonfly to grow to a 2.45'' blade length. You would have more cutting edge but it would still be in a small package and it would still be legal to carry in the city of Chicago. This was brought up before and I believe it was almost universally agreed tha...
