Re: KOTY24 - Your knive of the year 2024?

Just cut down Christmas cardboard with my two spydies from ‘24, Chaparral SE and Military 2 SE. the chaparral vastly outperformed the Military in this job. Slices like butter with minimal effort. It’s definitely my fave for 2024

Serrated Chaparral

Another vote for this baby. I basically take it everywhere with me now. It does everything that’s needed. It’s actually an upgrade to the PE version which was a surprise to me.

Stainless steel cutting boards

My wife just tried to give me some Stainless steel cutting boards as a late Christmas present.

*Cringe*

*She gets upset*

Wife: “Look them up they are a thing now”

Re: The serrated Chaparral is pretty cool

Serrated Chappie slices clamshell packaging like butter. The kids opened their Christmas Eve gift and I’ve seriously never experienced a knife more qualified for Christmas morning. This will be doing the work tomorrow.

Re: Completely Forgotten Spyderco Models: Your Favorites?

Never hear about the domino’s little brother the Dice anymore. I picked one up when it was discontinued. It was my third spyderco at the time. It has some shortcomings (bulky in pocket, not the best flipper action, questionable choice in CF pattern) of all my knives it still has the best ergos/feel ...

Re: Any love for combo edges?

I went through every spyderco knife I hade earlier looking for a gardening knife and without hesitation I grabbed a black bladed base model s30v CE native. Gifted to me by my boss. Well used. Is it hype? No. But for cutting through 20 bags of black Scott’s mulch and trimmer line I have nothing ...

I found the zwear Shaman on https://www.countryknives.com/shop-by-department/sporting-and-outdoor/tactical/folding-tactical/spyderco-c229mpzw-shaman-brown-canvas-micarta-z-wear-pm/

It's full retail price but does anyone know if this is a scam? I'd gladly pay full price if it means I get one.

PayneTrain, love your signature line!
Sorry to veer off topic, I love the sentiment as well. Trouble is, I’m a veterinarian. Try as I might, many pups remember a thermometer up the rear and pokes with vaccines (if it’s a good day).

Re: Dice Pocket Clip Relocation Problem

Good to hear about the positive experience. I'm personally so glad I picked a dice when they went on d/c clearance. The ergos are so underrated. It's been in my pocket for the past few days.

Re: 2017 - Lightweight/FRN Chaparral

The pocket presence of the chappie is...there isn't any at all. I can clip it to my side pocket of slacks and find I don't have to work around it at all if I reach in. The delica I still have to. In the hand it still feels super lightweight. If you like a choil the chappie is perfection. Very slicey ...

Re: 2017 - Lightweight/FRN Chaparral

I love my FRN chaparral. I'm pretty new to spyderco (and folders in general) and have really been looking for a perfect office EDC. I'm a veterinarian so no need for hard use blade. The "sliciness" and weight are ideal for my uses.

I have a stainless delica that I absolutely love and still carry ...
