Re: Reveal 15: Shivering with Anticipation

It sure would be nice to see some new knives. By new knives, I mean completely new designs. I really don't consider changing scales or blade metal as a new knife. I currently have a version of all the Spyderco knives I carry and have not bought a Spyderco in a couple of years. Waiting on a new desig...

Re: 2023 - Did your preferences change or stay the same?

The Kapara remains my primary EDC choice for the 3rd year in a row. So no change in preferences. Features that make it a superior choice for me are: 1. The Spydie Hole. Best opening on the market. 2. Deep carry pocket clip. Since I work in an office setting, less knife showing above the pocket is be...

Re: Spyderco Knife For Boy Scouts

My son is in Boy Scouts. I've bought him a Spyderco Delica, Kershaw Link, and Bradford Guardian 3 (and probably a few more I cannot remember). All are working just fine for him.

Re: I think we’re reaching the limit

I stopped trying to buy Sprints and Exclusives a long time ago. It was a waste of my time. They were selling out so quick I could never get one. Normal people work and don't sit on the computer all day hitting refresh.

Re: If John Wick carried a spydie?

This is easy, he would have the Civilian in his pocket and Spyder Throwers on the inside liner of his jacket.

Re: First Sharpening - What's it Do to Resale Value?

No one cares. A used knife cost less than a new knife. And it has been my experience that not all sellers are 100% accurate with the description of their knife anyway. If the buyer wants a factory edge knife they should buy new to guarantee it is factory. Otherwise they should take the discount and ...

Re: Spyderco Collaborators You Would Love to See Again?

I have been waiting for years to see a Grimsmo/Spyderco collaboration. As someone who is not a fan of thumb studs, getting my hands on a Norseman with a Spydie hole would be a dream come true.

Re: Sal Glesser Facts and Stories!

Sal Glesser doesn't get afraid in the dark, the dark is afraid of Sal Glesser. When Sal Glesser has a 50/50 shot, the odds are 80/20 in his favor. Sal Glesser's two cents is worth $36.

Re: How many Spydercos do you need to feel like your collection is complete?

I only need 2 knives. Both the same model. One for EDC and the other for a backup. My collection grew as I searched for the perfect knife. I tried many models until I finally found 'The One'. But now I have become attached to some of the less fortunate knives in my collection and I am having a hard ...
