Spyderco Forums

I was just looking at a dlc military 2 and the price was $225. Now it’s $250! I have about 50 Spyderco knives and have been collecting for 25 years. The prices have went up multiple times in the last 5 years. I understand inflation and what companies do to stay afloat but it is getting a bit carried...

Why is sending it in to Golden “living dangerously”? Someone else said that sending it in to Golden was “rolling the dice”... I have a titanium handled military that has late lockup with some lock-rock and I was going to send it in and see if they could change the lock bar insert and possibly tight...

I’m glad I just picked up a perfect CF Chaparral! I’m surprised about the sage 5 on the hit list, beautiful edc!

The original native 5 is fine as it is IMO. I personally liked the versions with liners and the 3 that I have, I’m keeping! The extra weight is negligible and I’d rather have them. If you want something a little bigger, just move to a different model. It’s too bad the manix 2 backlock isn’t still in...

The base price has me awaiting a sprint run. If I'm going to spend that much, I don't want any desire for more. I'd rather pay $240 for a Shaman in M4 or $260 for Maxamet than $185 for s30v. Just ordered a black one from the mothership. I already have a PE and SL but the black one just looks so nice!

Disappointed as I also love the liners. I wish I had a spare or two but maybe I’ll pick up a new linerless one as I do love the manix 2 backlock which also has no liners. I guess I just don’t want any of my favorites to change. It feels like the new one will be somehow, not as nice, because I really...

I have a titanium military on its way from the mothership in Golden. Can’t wait!

A drop of oil goes a long way.

I have 5x manix 2’s. My advice is if your fingers are sore switch to another knife style for a couple days, like a pm2. When you have healed up you might find the knife is easier to manipulate than you remember. Give it a couple days of couch flicking and it will be fine.

Curved clip issue. Keep them curved. Offer the knife with both; for tip up or down. Adds small cost to the knife. I wouldn't think that be a big deal. Three camps here. One, keep it the way it is, don't change a thing. Two, add tip up option. Three, change a bunch of things. I fall either into one ...

I’m still getting the blacked out one when released... It just looks so good in black!

Fluted titanium native, fluted titanium military, and black southard should be here today! Can’t wait!

I got my 1st Shaman to gravity close by spinning around in circles while waving a rubber chickenover my head. Well, it was either that or the drop of mil-tec gun oil in the pivot... I would do both just to be sure. I would also use a fairly high quality rubber chicken. Perhaps a sprint run or exclus...

I have a question I will get to for anyone who has a shaman. Mine was a little stiff but it didn't bother me because the blade is big. Plus part of the reason it's stiff when opening it is the pressure from the lock bar. Mine is very strong. But I did have some issues. When disengaging the knife it...

Waiting on the mail, all should be here today...

Please forgive me if I should have made my own thread for this. I figured most of the shaman fans would be here. Do any of you notice slight up and down blade play detectable with even the slightest amount of pressure? With my finger in the forward choil I can feel the movement and even hear it cli...

I thought I’d share my experience so far as I’m also having a problem with my second shaman. The first one I bought was a plain edge and it’s flawless and beautiful. I liked it so much I ordered the serrated directly from Spyderco. It was a bit stiff but shut with a slight flick of the wrist. There...
