Re: Giving the gift of a Spyderco

A friend of mine helped me a lot when i was recovering from a mountainbike injury(broken collarbone, broken shoulder, broken ribs) while my wife was pregnant and we were moving to a new place.
I gifted him a Para 3 LW which i imported from the US since all the german dealers where out of stock.

Re: Golden factory expansion

Actually I have to say that my favorite production site is Golden. Because they made some significant progress in the machining precision in the past 10 years. Now every golden knife is crispy clean machined and I honestly do not need Taiwan anymore. So I am happy with the expansion at Golden.

Re: Apologies - 2023 Spyderco Online Factory Seconds Sale

No need to Apologize. It was a great hunt to see if you score or not.

The Seconds Sale provides the opportunity to get some Knives which you usually would not get or can not pay.

For me it was a fun event and it took 1 hour to get 2 Knives.

Best regards.

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale Scores

People need to not let their enthusiasm for the brand cloud their critical judgment. This was a terrible customer experience and there is no counter argument. To put this into perspective: The other option would be to drove/fly to Golden Colorado. I do not understand the Karen Entitlement for custo...

Re: Steels and spyderedge

I really like the H1 Salt 2 SE for harder work.
But the real slicing king is my Salt 2 SE Wharnie in LC200N. It is ground very thin and the peaks are not that high.
My Lil Native SE in S30V is also good. But not as impressive as the Salt 2 Wharnie.

Re: getting the itch for a delica wharncliffe

My suggestion: get yourself a Salt 2 Wharncliff Serrated and in addition a Wharncliff K390. Then you have covered a huge spectrum and have 2 magnificent knives.

I love my Salt 2 Wharnie Serrated. The tip is so acute and the serrations are a beast.

Re: M398 vs AEB-L

M398 is by far the more complex and higher end steel. But if course harder to sharpen.

Mine came crispy and really well made.

Re: I’m an indecisive giant. Millie vs Chief!

In case you haven't handled a Resilience in S35VN let me tell you:

The Military looks small compared to it.
I love it.

P. S. : can not send pictures because I am in the company bathroom.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report

Thank you Wouter for the pictures. Great as always.

I have to say that I am thankful to have been able to visit this meeting again.

Of course Spyderco showed much more than this. But most were Protoypes and confidential. But I am very happy what will come in the future regarding steel and weight.

Re: Invitation to the 16th Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam

@SpyderForLyfe you are totally missing the point of this meeting. Spyderco is showing protos and new models to a small audience. You can talk freely with Eric, some Designers and Staff. Lunch together. Trading or selling kills the mood and the intention of the meeting. Also try to relate to how the ...
