Spyderco Forums

the only time i've carried my whanrcliffe delica and wished i had a blade with belly was when i had to scrape stickers from a flat surface. whanrcliffe blades are horrible for that task, but i haven't had issues with them for anything else.

i love mine! 20cv from knifejoy.

i understand the desire to have my favorite knife company do something i like from other knife companies, but when it comes down to it, i'd rather let spyderco be spyderco and let those other companies fill in the gaps.

this is no slight to spyderco, but they will never beat the design (and ...

i was going to suggest the military because the longer blade will give you better geometry for cleaning fish due to the taper of the blade. in other words, more of the blade is thinner compared to the shorter blades. but even if you're not cleaning fish with it, i'd still recommend the military ...

it's great when bad threads turn positive and productive. :)

Spyderco totally playing some shell game to avoid selling knives at a discount. There’s no way they could just reduce the discount if they wanted to.


Yep, conspiracy theories never hold up to scrutiny, common sense or Occam’s Razor.


Eh, I wouldn't go that far. Anyone paying attention to ...

why not start with calendar submissions? you own the photos now and have years worth of submissions and you aren't limited to what made it into the calendars. you could probably make a book just with the calendar winners and other submissions that you liked but didn't meet requirements or make it ...

After seeing this years winners, I have to say I like a bit of the change from the "norm" standard.

I feel like in years past, customized knives or knives with wear/patina tended to be overlooked for the calendar for more OEM or pristine knives photos. Now this year we have Ladybug93's custom ...

there are real things to be upset about. this isn't one of them.

this one is really pushing all others out of my pocket. i still prefer the looks and ergos of the manix, but the ergos are almost equally good with the military for me and i'm loving the longer blade. i'll have to get the manix salt when it comes ...

thanks for the heads up!

thank you kristi and spyderco! i'm excited to try a spyderco button lock. congrats to all the winners and all who submitted. i really enjoy the contest each year.

^yep. me too.

top 5 in order of frequency of carry:

military 2 salt
yojumbo
manix 15v customized
stretch 2 salt (pe)
roadie xl

as always, each paired with a pacific salt (se).

taichung knows what they're doing for sure

i wish awt would make non-skinny manix scales. the skinny versions all look terrible to me and they kill the ergos and lines that were designed into the knife. my three favorite models right now are the manix, military 2, and yojumbo. they're all skinny models only and look ridiculous in my opinion ...

i would love to see a ladybug hawkbill salt with lc200n and titanium. a manbug wharncliffe in that combo would also be excellent.

eta: also a roadie xl!

^agreed! i've seen lots of knives go missing and show again later.

common places to check (in case you haven't already):
washer/dryer
pants/shorts pockets
seatbelts
backpack straps
vehicle consoles/door compartments
daily carry bags
wife's purse (they be stealin'!)

i humbly submit my customized 15v manix (C101GBN15V2) for consideration this year. this knife has been adorned with green micarta scales from bladescales and a brass ball cage from flytanium. the manix is my absolute favorite knife design ...
