Re: Anyone else interested in a LW Native Chief?

Yes! I am actively waiting for the LW version. I prefer carrying and using them as opposed to the G10 versions, for the usual reasons.

Re: Which Golden made design for 15V debut?

Because of their tips, I don´t think the Military/Paramilitary/Para are the best platform for a steel which in a vacuum is among the less tough steels. I was torn between the Shaman and the Native, but because Spyderco could make the Native much more affordable (I voted for Native LW!) , I went for ...

Re: How to get more women/females into Spyderco?

I want to see as many people as possible be interested in and use and become fans of Spyderco knives. How can we get more women and girls interested in Spyderco knives, world wide? I think the quality and amazing designs should appeal to many women across the board from a wide-range of backgrounds,...

Re: Updated shaman sprint steel poll

Respectfully, I do not understand why so many here prefer a steel of the tougher class, i.e. CRUWEAR, 3V, 4V to a steel of the S90V, S110V or M390 class for the Shaman sprint. I thought the main benefit of a tougher steel for folding knives is that it allows for a thinner blade, edge geometry etc. w...

Isn’t everything harmful in California? What a freaky state.
Except Aids.
I am not really that concerned, already sharpened my Endura on it. Just curious about what the ca.gov. could have found in there.

Re: KnifeCenter Exclusive CPM-Cruwear Paramilitary 2

On the Knifecenter page it says the knife can be Preordered, and is due in mid to late July. Does anyone know if a second wave is coming? I remember the grey Para 3 Cruwear sprintrun was also preorder-able months after it had been released and sold out which turned out to be a mistake on knifecenter...

Re: The Respect

Sorry to ask again about the release date of a knife, but the wait is a bit excruciating! Is it probable that the Respect will arrive within the first half of the year?

Re: Ankerson/Sanders Bowie Photos

I wonder if this model is going to be in a similar price range to the Respect. I do not know which I would prefer, would they be competing so directly.

Future plans on another collaboration with Gayle Bradley?

Hi! Being a great fan of the Gayle Bradley 1 and the Gayle Bradley 2 , and hopefully soon able to check out the Advocate in person, I wonder: Are there going to be more joint efforts with Mr. Bradley? Maybe a Gayle Bradley 3? (I understand ,though, that providing an answer to this question may not b...

I had what sounds like the exact same issue with my pm2. Out of the box it was smooth unlike anything I had ever had in my hands (my first Spyderco), but after some flicking it open and closed a couple of times, it developed what you are describing. the detent ball audibly ground against the blade t...
