Spyderco Forums

I know that Golden is at capacity limits in pushing knives through but I wonder if there is a chance that we will see a 52100 Chief? I know that a lot of people have their issues with it but it’s my favorite steel that Spyderco puts out and it’s the perfect platform for it. On the opposite end of t...

It’s such a popular style of lock it’s surprising to me that the market isn’t flooded with knockoffs.

https://i.postimg.cc/BnCZ0PWk/IMG-3432.jpg In summary buy a Cat. It's Spyderco's most underrated small knife. It does everything a g10 Lil Native will do at a fraction of the price. People will say the blade stock isnt thin enough or linerlocks are worst locks, but the Cat is a perfect knife at a p...

Does anyone know why my Chicago Knife Works knife is shipping from Marion, VA? Are they a legit store or are they shipping from some sort of Amazon mass drop type of warehouse? TIA.

FWIW, It looks as though Chicago Knife Works is still listing their Spyderco sale prices.

Thank you for the heads up. I missed their deal on the wharncliffe Lil Native yesterday and I was still able to pick one up for $121 today. I appreciate it.

That's a nice grab on the knife. I think their most recent batch of K390 PM2s will be slow to sell out but when they are gone I think a lot of people will be sorry that they missed out. I don't carry a PM2 much but I have this model and it has some of the finest action of any of my Spydies and as yo...

Probably the Delica or Endura but, to me personally, the quintessential Spyderco is the C36 Military Model.

I agree with this 100% but there are some excellent observations concerning the Police and OG Stretch in this thread.

Best wishes for the people of Taiwan.

I think we need a sprint of an SE Stretch 1. I believe that it’s one of the best slicing Spydies that I’ve owned. That SE Sage is a work if art though!

BladeHQ has Enduras in M4 for 79.99. Not sure how long it will last but picked one up to try out. M4 will be a new for me, and excited to see how it performs. M4 and 52100 are my two favorite Spyderco steels. I think that you will enjoy the edge retention of M4 but it does require light maintenance.

It’s the Knifeworks S90V Military for me. Nothing else is even close.

I have been asking for a revamped Cricket LW for quite a while but I didn’t think that it would happen. Including friends and family, it would be a multiple buy knife for me if Sal were to put his magic touch to any new version that’s also SE.

This kind of freaks me out and makes me sad at the same time. Always trust yourself and trust your instincts.

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 ...

I saw vivi's post about not many people carrying Military 1s on this thread so I wanted to give a shout out to the 52100 Military that I am carrying today. I don't really post pics but it is in my pocket for more days than not and I couldn't be happier. I can keep it both razor sharp or hone it to a...

I like the idea in theory but given manufacturing costs and recent price increases it doesn’t seem like something that I could afford to buy.

Very interesting discussion, and yes, I've been following it, and will participate. We don't like the high prices either and we're always considering the paths to take. I guess I should begin with China. I usually avoid politics in this forum, and I appreciate that we've been good about that, but a...

A quick glance says around $1500.

Nicely done! Beautiful work.

Instant... and instantly dye the scales. Gig'Em

Yeah. I will likely buy one to try the steel but I find burnt orange particularly awful as well.
