Re: In Praise of Spyderco Salt Knives

While we're on the subject, the Native has now had two iterations of the LC200n (yellow, green), yet the Dragonfly has yet to get either... COME ON.

Re: Dragonfly or pocket knife etc. in Magnacut

Expensive small knives seem to not sell well for Spyderco. The labor that goes into a small knife is about the same as large knife so the perceived value of the large knives seems higher. $200 for PM2 seems to be better value to buyers versus a $185 D'fly. That's a fair point. I was very optimistic...

Re: Dragonfly or pocket knife etc. in Magnacut

I don’t know if Magnacut is really a good fit for a DF2? I’d prefer something with higher edge retention given the small blade. I’m finding my S30V DF2 to require more maintenance than I’d like. I wish I could get another ZDP189. I don’t know anything about K390. I personally think that 20CV is abo...

I've been doing these Spyderco Delivered & Upcoming Lists since 2015 (7 years) and 2021 will be the last year. Buddafucco will be taking over and only on the Spyderco Forum (not on BladeForums or USN). Thanks Buddafucco.
Thank you!!!

Re: Dragonfly or pocket knife etc. in Magnacut

I'd take lc200n or magnacut in a Dragonfly. I kept waiting for the green Lc200n Dragonfly release but it's not come. Wondering if source metal issues have Spyderco considering alternative metals for the Salt models.

Re: Spyderco 2021 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

Any new Salts in the pipe to be released in green/LC200n? Please oh please let the Dragonfly be next! I'll be buying both the PE and SE versions.

Jordan, if you're still lurking, let's see a Dragonfly sprint in a nice stainless super steel like 20cv or m390!

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3

I ended up having someone message me today and offer me one for cost + shipping. I had a feeling there would be a sizeable group that bought two and are passing on the lesser of the pair, which is fine with me. I hope those that are still looking can find one at a reasonable cost. Chrome extensions ...

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3

Flippers gonna flip. Yep. And big wallet buyers are gonna buy. When an extra 50-100 bucks doesn't matter to someone, then the market exists and they'll sell. The interesting thing for me right now is watching the actual auctions with no reserve for these new para3's on Ebay. The final selling price...

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3

JMHO I think "first come first served" is the fairest.That's a lottery itself. Limit of one per customer. Get a better server or vastly improve the current one. The problem with this is the "first served" are going to be the pro flippers with Chrome extensions buying the knives....

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3

Uhm, how can you prove that nobody needs a certain knife in a certain kind of steel? Cruwear has some properties that make it better than other steels, especially on toughness. Certain jobs and certain knife applications need that intrinsic property of that steel. That generalization just doesn't m...

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3

There'll be purple para 3's sitting on Ebay for years to come, because it costs basically nothing to let one sit at $300 and see if someone bites. It's annoying, but it is what it is. I missed out on this round and am a little bummed, but I know there'll be more cruwear releases in the future. Part ...

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3

Hate I missed this, today. I refuse to pay EBay mark up so hopefully someone will want out from under a lightly-used One soon.
