Spyderco Forums

After playing with my Catcherman for a few days, I decided to order a second one. Fishing is such a big part of my life and one of the first activities I can remember doing. Even though I've owned Spydercos for a long time, I wasn't in the "know" when previous versions of the Catcherman we...

I just got mine today, it's definitely a BIG knife. Looks very "slicey". I thought I'd hate the plastic clip more, it's ok.

Thanks!! I was able to get one!

I'm looking all over US knife stores and I don't see any our yet. Any recommendations on where they are?

Here’s what I bought the Swick 6 for:

How good is the sheath retention? I’ve been thinking of getting one for my PFD but I was concerned about it falling out.

Hi Sal--- Seems to be some chatter on SOL (stripersonline) re: the Caspian. https://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/topic/861954-knives-for-fishing/#comment-17623252 It appears that Spyderco relies heavily on reputation word of mouth for sales impetus. Advertising can be expensive, but I can't help...

Nice. How long does a zinger hold up with regular salt water exposure? Im assuming the internal spring is stainless. I could use to get a long time out of cheap carabiners even with daily salt water exposure until they fell apart. I have thought about doing a similar setup but I have been very luck...

I love my Spyderco Knives and I've been trying to find a good way to carry one on my PFD while kayak fishing. After lots of trial and error, I finally have a system I like. I use a short length of 95 Paracord tied in a loop with a big stop knot. This allows the loop to easily slip through the lanyar...

Has Spyderco ever made a knife with titanium scales and a compression lock?

Titanium is my favorite scale material, but I prefer the compression lock to the frame lock on most all the titanium knives.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I think I’m down to between the Lil’ Native sprint or the Kapara. I have 2 Lil’ Native sprint/exclusives. They’ve become some of my favorite to carry. I love the size, wire clip, and lock. I’d like to try something different like that the Kapara but as it’s stock m...

I have about 30 Spydercos in my collection. What I realized is that I don't have any with carbon fiber scales.

What are your top picks for a first carbon fiber scale knife to add to my collection?

Subvert!

If you’re going to do any food prep, I’d stick with mineral oil. It’s cheap, readily available, food safe and does a fine job at rust prevention.

https://i.imgur.com/TodJalB.jpg The Dragonfly 2 Salt in SE is one of my all-time favorites and it’s a knife that accompanies me on every vacation. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of luck with them. My first one was lost to the Caribbean in Jamaica and the second one was lost in the surf of OBX, N...

When I got my Rex45 Lil' Native I had the exact same issue. I emailed Spyderco and no one ever replied. I eventually just bent it out a tiny bit and it’s been perfect ever since. In fact, I totally forgot about it until you posted. The Rex45 Lil' Native was my first Lil' Native and has become a favo...

WOW! What a story! My family and I just got back from Yellowstone and my wife was completely freaked out about all the bear warnings. If she had seen this she would have never gotten on a single trail. In Yellowstone, no one hikes a trail without carrying bear spray. Whenever we were hiking, my wife...

Isn't REC supposed to release these again? I've really grown fond of the Lil Native and would like to get one if of this variant if they become available again. Any idea when it will happen?

I got one. Nice to see these still available 40 minutes later. Everyone who wants one should be able to get it and flippers will be out of luck.

I’m all in on this one. The lil’ native has become one of my favorite.
