A fixed blade Military, with a 4.5 inch blade model and a 6 inch blade model. The long one would have no choil, and the shorter one would have a smaller choil that echoes the Military 1 style. Micarta handles, Cruwear blade as the first iteration, followed by a titanium handled flash batch, and a ...

In regards to some new denim micarta, from a Caly 3.5 thread:
Caly 3.5 K390 (& polished denim micarta)

In general, I would love to see some denim Micarta make it into production. It would be amazing on a Shaman.


Hi Michael O,

Small maker, limited production. Always trying to increase ...

I am quite interested in picking one up. Can't wait to see some size comparison pics. I will take a pic next to the Baby Horn if I get the Dyad jr.

Its been awhile, but I have something coming in next week. Picked up a 15V Microjimbo. Been looking at that model for some time now, looks to be a close competitor to the Dragonfly wharncliffe.

I'll be patiently awaiting for this piece to drop. I haven't tried the Bodacious yet, and this looks like the perfect combo for my collection.

Count me in the LW Lil Native with Spy27 and that nice blue FRN. I too wish that my complock Lil Native had thinner blade stock.
The LW Lil Native really does seem like the Golden equivalent of the Dragonfly 2.

Slym most likely.
Or the CF S90V Sage 6.

Did the blade swap from the S90V Carbon Fiber.

Military 2 15V
Been wanting for some time. Got it discounted at NationalKnives. I have a plan to do a scale swap. Its gonna be so cool; will share pics when it's all done.

I've been in need of a titanium integral handled folder. I used to have a Nirvana, but I sold it. The bead blast finish on the blade drove me crazy.
I also had BM Anthem, sold it off too because the grind kinda sucked.
I was looking at the Chaves integrals recently, but opted to see how this Slym ...

Very nice :)
Thanks for sharing

I once had a SpyOpera, my only example of an Italian Spydie. It had some major side play when blade was closed and it drove me nuts; I had to sell it.
Does the Slym have any side play when closed? And how is the blade centering?

I've put myself through this situation multiple times. The Baby Jess Horn was sold when I thought I didn't like it. Years go by, I start to miss my BJH and eventually I find some in stock at Hand-tools. It is an excellent source of old NIB models that have just been hanging around, waiting to be ...

Aloha Sal, hope you're enjoying Kauai and the infinite chicken population. Check out the Waimea canyon if you can; Hanalei is another must see on that island.
This Kapara sounds good to me, will consider picking one up when I find out the price.

Something I have desired for a few years but could never find until the other day: full size Demko AD20 in 3v and clip point. Not the slim, thin blade, but the thicc boi. I tried the 20.5 but it just felt too small for me (small for a Demko)
Should arrive on Friday.

Please bring it back; it was around before my time as a Spyderco fan. I'm Filipino and I love barongs. I'm looking forward to the new Balance sprint, I've never handled a Schemp design before.

I already have 3 shamans....bodacious not even on my radar. Dont see a need as they are so similar. I would imagine other folks are feeling the same.


I still haven't handled a Bodacious yet, but my strong guess is that it will feel better in my hand than the Shaman. The grip for me never felt ...

Have there been any whispers or rumors of any upcoming Bodacious variations? I'm ready to buy one with CruCarta, or S90V and CF.

The Sage 6 looks fantastic. I'll have to snag one of the Sprints in S90V, with the solid CF.
I used to own the Sage 1, 2, 3, & 5; never got my hands on a Sage 4. I enjoyed the 5 the most, but something about the G10 CF laminate made me sell it eventually. And I haven't given the model a chance since ...

Military 2 Sprint S90V and carbon fiber.
I hope I can say Bodacious for 2025; haven't picked one up yet since I'm waiting for a Sprint/exclusive.
