I’ll be watching for the post release YouTube video of a Charisma that snapped while doing some light batoning!

Re: Family friendly jokes
A woman goes to the doctors.
“ Dr I forgot to take my contradictive pill.”
The Dr replies “you’re ignorant.”
To which she replied, “ Yes, three months.”

Re: Autism awareness knife?
I would support this and would buy whatever model Spyderco make.
It’s a worthwhile cause.

Re: Vote: Kick? Choil? Forward? Other?
I voted Forward, as the majority of my recent purchases are handle forward models.They are an elegant solution to the Choil vs Kick decision.
That said, on smaller models Choil all the way, with a reduced handle area they provide a more secure grip for harder use.
Aren’t we lucky to be able to choose?

Re: Spyderco backlocks : why is the stop pin an exception, instead of being the norm ?
Could it be that the stop pin is harder to retrofit on existing models?
It appears on ‘newer’ models, Chappy and Sage 4, but may be beyond the scope of CQI.
If and when the Delica/Endura range gets an update maybe it will include the stop pin.
And a choil!

Re: Full handle knife
Polestar, choil-less, linerlock. Handle is superb, a shallower lil’ Temp/Caribbean.
Profile is similar to the Rockjumper but carries slimmer in pocket.

Re: A full size Native slipjoint?
I bought my first Native on the weekend, I’ve waited until now because I wanted to get one in hand before buying. I was concerned that its scales would be too blocky but for me they are very comfortable. After comparing it to my ‘lil Native slippy I can see there may be a market for a sturdier, full...

Re: 2024 Official Discontinued List
"it reminds me of a D4 Wharncliffe blade with the handle profile of a Stretch 2."
It is very much like that, it has the hand filling depth of the Stretch with a slightly longer blade.

Re: 2024 Official Discontinued List
The RJ is a very compelling argument for the handle forward design. What is the definition of "handle forward"? The ricasso/choil area is reduced/covered so that the blade edge starts at the scales rather than further out. If you compare a Delica with a RockJumper you will see there is a ...

Re: 2024 Official Discontinued List
Received a Rockjumper SE this weekend. Like many here I had held off because it was so close to the Delica Wharncliffe in specs. I was wrong :eye-roll. The RJ is a very compelling argument for the handle forward design. Is this the backlock Polestar? The handles are very close in dimensions The acti...

Re: Spyderco Bow River
I got one for my son. He uses it for processing rabbits.
I liked it so much I got one for myself….
The Bow river is a full sized Phil Wilson design. The steel is perfectly adequate for my day to day use.
Get one, you will not be disappointed.

Re: Looking for an improvised Yojimbo 'light.' Any suggestions?
Have you considered the Jandelica or Jandura?
They are Mr Janich’s custom made reprofiled versions of the Delica and Endura.
The Kahr Arms Delica (above)was a model produced by Spyderco using the same profile.

Re: Just a pocket knife
Most days I carry a Slip-it as my main knife. As they cover most of my needs.
I appreciate their simplicity.
On weekends etc. I’ll add a Salt or other lockable folder depending on the ‘mission’.

Re: Byrd Tern: First Impressions
The Tern is a goldilocks knife, just right. When I got it the action was gritty so I gave it a warm bath which helped. The locking and unlocking are both easing as I use it more. I also bought the Up-Tern on the strength of this model https://i.postimg.cc/MKJY3kG6/IMG-0315.jpg Both of these are seco...
