Re: My first SLIPIT experience / Spyderco Urban

Very nice review! :clinking-mugs And glad you found out what linerless FRN really is: In relation to its weight imo the best, most sophisticated and actually very sturdy handle material (and I DO use my linerless FRN knives hard). Add the grippy texture but smooth logo the clip lands on and on many...

"Throwing trail run" (so running through the woods interrupted by occasional no-spin knife throwing on stumps and dead trees) with the great Salt 2 iwb and my favorite throwers in hand.
Perfect start into the day... :smlling-eyes

Very nice contrast between the warm colors of the surrounding nature and the "cold" turquoise of the knife!

Re: Lost my Military 2

Jim, since you obviously searched pretty much everywhere already, one really far fetched last suggestion: Did you check the trash cans? Not kidding, it happened to me once when I was under a lot of stress, had 1000 things in my mind and too little sleep: I wanted to put my Altimeter watch (which I o...

Re: Which one should I get next?

A bit off topic (but perhaps still saying something concerning the op´s question): I like how well loved the Chap really is around here: - 11 people replied so far, more than half (6) recommended getting a Chap! (Second so far goes to some Manix 2 variant (4), third to Dfly (3), if I counted right)....

stupid question maybe, but where exactly is the review?

It is gone indeed!!
Very weird, since this is definitely not Palestrinas first post here, he got already approved, and the review was not "spammy" at all....

Re: Which one should I get next?

Members: Looking for ideas for my next Spyderco. I have a small knife box with six slots and I already have the following: - Tenacious M4 - Endura 4 (combo saber) VG-10 - Delica 4 (plain saber) VG-10 - Para 3 (digital camo scales with DLC blade) S45VN - Paramilitary 2 (digital camo scales with sati...

Re: My first SLIPIT experience / Spyderco Urban

I’m still not a big cheap plastic fan personally. Steel bolsters, bone, micarta and pins options would look excellent on this knife imo I am not a cheap plastic fan either ... but supertough and still light hightech fibreglass compound material like FRN on the other hand is practically speaking pro...

Re: Spymyto is hot!

I own a ton of Spydercos and this $220 knife might be the highest quality knife out all of them except for the Drunken (minus the clip). Fit and finish is phenomenal. The smoothing of the blade spine and spydie hole is better than on any knife I’ve ever seen. This knife reminds me of an updated hig...

Re: Lost my Military 2

As said, I really hope it´ll turn up again, Jim. Still a tip for the future: I often detach the pocket clips of my Spydies and then bend them "down" a bit so the tension gets higher when reattached again and the knife is more secure in pocket. I do this since I lost a Stretch 1 (still no i...

Re: Copy Cat compression lock.

If the market options with the "cross bar" lock post patent expiration are representative, I'd say the answer is a big yes. Much better versions of that lock came out after the patent expired. -- It seems the market isn't flooded with comp locks like it became post patent with "cross...

Re: Chief vs Stretch XL for fishing knife?

Yeah, although i agree with Wartstein that there are still some special use cases where pe might be preferred for extreme corrosion resistance/toughness, I think your assessment pretty much nails it. I think I’m probably an extreme outlier when it comes to what I demand of my rust proof knives and ...

Re: Lost my Military 2

Sorry to hear that, even more so since it was a special knife for for you.

But don´t give up hope yet, as others have said: It might still turn up again - did you check all the gaps of couch, car seats...?

Best of luck in any case!

Re: Chief vs Stretch XL for fishing knife?

What we really need is a siren with yellow or green G10 and Magnacut..! ... Almost perfect, but make it FRN instead of G10... ;) (and add an SE option!) FRN for a Siren XL Slim model, and G10 for new and improved magnacut Siren. I’m not a big fan of serrations, personally, but if Spyderco made both...
