Spyderco Forums

These threads always lead me to questions of options, #1 Always bravely run away. #2. Carry a gun. Or #3 If you lack training is it better to have a knife made for SD (Civilian), or a knife that you use often regardless of shape or size? I think about complete lack of finite motor control if you are...

Withdrew knife bashing comment.

Why ?

It does absolutely no good to throw negative comments out there. Just because I really dislike the knife doesn't mean that it isn't someone else's grail.

Withdrew knife bashing comment.

Other than a slight difference in blade shape, I wonder what function this knife offers in actual use that the Yojumbo doesn't?

I received mine and I used it for light tree and yard clean up over the weekend. It is a gem of a knife in all manner of speaking but for the type of knife and the tasks that I want to use it for I wish that I would have held out for the upcoming REX sprint or some future exclusive. This will probab...

I recently started buying some GEC models but I have real difficulty finding a version of any model that I want that isn't sold out instantly. It's like wanting a Spyderco sprint or exclusive but not knowing where to look. Do you all have a go to place that you buy these from? I see multiple version...

My familiarity with a steel has a lot to do with my ability to sharpen it. I am able to get M4 pretty sharp but I have found K390 and REX45 mainly beyond my sharpening patience. HAP40 is different but the conventional wisdom is that it's run softer than the others.

Sal has mentioned in the past that Mr. Bradley is working on a GB3 but that was pre-covid so there is no telling if that idea has been shelved for a while, but I would be up for one. The GB1 is one of the most solid knives that I have ever owned from Spyderco and I really can't imagine changing a th...

A medium one with a 3.25” blade, bolster, red or ivory G10, hollow ground, 20CV or M390 steel. Jewell !

This is almost exactly what I was thinking as well. An ivory model in particular would make a really beautiful knife and hasn't been done before. Very nice!

Great haul! Keep up the good work!

Both versions of the Persian are two of my all time favorites. A definite yes for me.

I have owned both and I absolutely love the Maxamet Sage. It sounds perfect for your setting and the liner lock is really solid. I am not a fan of the Para 3 platform and I sold that version but the Max Sage continues to find its way back into my pocket. It's slices like a laser and, the ergos of th...

Hello and welcome! There are a lot of nice and knowledgeable people here. I think that you will enjoy your time.

Welcome Scott. My brother lived in Calgary for several years and I have been fortunate enough to spend time in your beautiful city and the surrounding mountains. This forum is an absolute wealth of knowledge with kind people throughout and you already seem quite knowledgeable! I hope that you enjoy ...

Ivory would look really nice on a Sprint Run Pattada with the M390 steel upgrade.

In fairness, I have sharpened for years and can't get the extreme edges that some folks here can get. I know that there is a practiced touch but there is also a gift in the right amount of pressure. Kind of like why some people can throw a 100 mph fastball and with the exact same motion others throw...

I like pairing a Military or GB1 with a Hawkbill Dragonfly. They are different enough in both size and function that I can cover a wide range of tasks for light yard, helping with a small cattle herd work and general upkeep.

Edited to say that a Manix keeps finding increasing time in my pocket.

I lurked for a while and joined because of the embracing community. I quickly learned that the board is full of people who know more about every aspect of knives than I do but are always willing to share their knowledge without insult or ridicule. It's a unique quality on forums and I have learned a...

I wonder if there are still plans to release this or if it's another casualty of the COVID chaos and the idea has been scrapped?

It may only be me and it may be corporately inappropriate but I think an AXIS lock would be kind of cool and a nod to an old friend. I have a mini-grip with a Spyder hole and it might be kind of neat to have a Sage with an AXIS lock. To me, it's the best thing about BM knives and a fine lock.
