Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

I couldn't decide, so they both get a ride.

So far I haven't bought a whole extra knife just to save shipping at least... :D

Ha, I’m doing EXACTLY that! I’ve got the next few months planned out with 2-3 knives per month to “save” money on shipping. :D

Re: Spyderco Opfocus Discount for Military, Retirees and Veterans

I’ve already placed two orders using this program, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks to everyone at Spyderco!

Re: Spyderco Shipping

I live in Hendersonville, TN. This is more than you asked for, but a complete picture of the delivery process for me. Note that all times are MDT, so we can see the process from Spyderco's vantage. For my first order, I received email confirmation from Spyderco at 9:50 AM on Thursday, July 12, and a...

Re: non-knife people with great knives

I’ve seen one or two but I think the sales pitch would have to played a large role. For example: A Citizen walks into a store to buy a knife. The salesman is a Spyder Knut and shows him a Delica which A Citizen seems to like. The Salesman sings the praises of the knife but adds that the PM2 which h...

Re: Please help me pick my next two knives!

Thanks, everyone! The Sage 5 and Para 3 will also be bought in the coming months, along with 10-12 other models I currently like. I'm sure the list will change as I get more knives in hand. I may eventually settle on one or two for regular carry but, in the meantime, the process of finding those wil...

EDIT TO UPDATE: I ordered a Native 5 Lightweight in Dark Blue FRN with S110V, and a Chaparral Gray FRN (yes, I really like FRN).
You’re going to love the Chaparral.

Thanks, I’m glad to be getting both!

Re: Please help me pick my next two knives!

Going to buck the trend and recommend the Sage 5 - compression lock, wire clip, carbon fiber. Love the Sage series. I also have the Sage 3. Para 3 is my other pick because I don't particularly care for a lockback. Not as fun to fidget with. While under your 3" rule, I'd suggest the Lil Native ...

Re: Please help me pick my next two knives!

I have Para 3 and Native 5. And if someone forced me to get two from the list, it would be Native 5 and Chaparral. I like the Native, and use it enough where I would like to get another one at some point. And the CF Chaparral looks very interesting on paper; specifically the weight and both blade a...

Hi, gang! I’ve already got a Dragonfly 2 and Paramilitary 2, and I love them both. Now it’s time to get something in the 3” range. The fun part is I want to buy two at once, but I can only get my list narrowed down to the ones in the poll. I have no particular needs pushing me in any direction, and ...

Deep carry wire clip, crowned spine, 2.0mm stock, white FRN so it can be dyed any color the buyer wants

Yep, and I'd have TWO...one in white, and one dyed. Great idea!

I like the current blade and ergos, but I’d like to see the wire clip and Sal’s mark. Or, at the very least, an unpainted spoon clip.

Nice explorer, a lot of folk loving them currently

Yep, all the stainless sport models are in low production and high demand these days. I’m lucky to have gotten this one from an AD in May.

Mantra 3 with a ball bearing lock. I would probably never stop fidgeting with it.

Re: More on Spyderco Slip Joint Folders: 3.5 inch or longer blade desired?

I have a design for a Two Hand Opener that locks. A THO that does not lock would be a larger Roadie? sal Still very interested in this. Was hoping to see it. Also, how about the one hander, the size between Urban and UKPK? I’m thoroughly enjoying my Urban K390 right now, and was thinking of this ju...
