May I ask: What exactly is wrong with that old handle? Anything functional?
Looks good to me, just on that pic...

Not mine, it must be one of my most carried Spydercos and also one of my favorite food prep knives. https://i.imgur.com/I2d26Ci.jpg For a still general utility folder and for its compact closed size the Kapara works absolutely great in food prep indeed! (Aside from tasks where a taller blade would ...

I have no interest in a serrated Manix 2 in any steel, but I still don't understand why there aren't any in the lineup. It seems obvious there should be at least one. Maybe they haven't wanted to introduce a new blade until the screwed CQI came out, or until the Salt release. My guess is it's just ...

...... Here https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?p=1332284#p1332284 is shown how you easily can post pics ... and yes, Davids thread is great and serrations are too ;) Wartstein my friend serrations are functionally excellent. I prefer combo edges. SEF, my friend, so you´re back?! That´s good!!...

That has not been my experience. I've found that serrations cut some tough materials better than a plain edge. When the job is complete, the serrated edge is still suitable for continued use, while the plain edge can be disappointingly degraded. For this reason, if I think I'm going to encounter so...

Reporting back . . . I bought a Dragonfly 2 with Black FRN and VG-10. Decided my capability gap was not having a blade under 2.5 inches for carry in a more (blade length) restrictive nearby locality. (It does look great next to the Endura and Delica.)

I sure hope you went for SE...

Yet another hike with the Pac Salt...

I am a huge SE fan. Almost all my Spydies are SE or CE. That said, I don’t really understand what keeps Spyderco making SE versions of so many of their knives. My observation is serrations are almost unknown in the folder world today. If serrated folders were profitable surely there would be a lot ...

I've been away for a while...haven't had much in the last few reveals to entice me. Has this topic ever gotten an answer or maybe a hint that we will be getting one in the future? Just me over here sticking to the SE salts I'm used to... No, nothing on that front, at least from all I know... I am s...

Said it (often) before:
This knife in a lightweight version (just like the Manix 2 LW) would be an instant buy for me - even more so in that classic St. Nicks configuration (love my St Nicks Goddard, especially the steel!)

Hey Doc,

I rarely visit the off topic section these days, and so I missed your birthday...

Still: Belatedly all the best from me and a great, new life-year!!

The small Adira looks nice but I'm not in a rush. I am afraid that pronounced and "sharp" pinky hook on the rather short handle could be a problem (so that larger hand perhaps don´t have enough space between front guard and pinky hook and the pinky sits right ON that pretty abrupt hook).....

David, you really made my Sunday with this post. I haven't been over here since ages only to find this gem. As a full serrations nut since 2005, I very much appreciate this. I had a plan to make one of these post myself but you did a better job than I ever could since I can't post pics anymore on t...

Pac Salt - my best mountain-knife.

I know, what a faux pas it gets even worse, I lost the knife Must have fell out of my shorts, can't believe it happened with this sprint version in s90v

Oh man, sorry for you!

Morning mountain hike with one of the very best folders ever for just that...

I love my Kapara's. One of Spyderco's best knives. I have the S30v and the 20cv exclusive. I have no issue with the lock. I showed it to one of my long time buddies, in fact the guy that got me started on the Spyderco freight train :beaming-face, and he had never seen one! He was mind boggled at th...

Thank you very much for your kind words and wishes! Kapara never crossed my mind but it should have, truth is that most of my pocket knives are used always for food prep\snacking... :thinking I do like compression lock myself but as you, I do not prefer it for great outdoors as backlock is superior...

Hi Folks, in less than a month I will marry love of my life, person I look forward getting old with and my best friend at the same time. Now important question is, what Spyderco to carry this day? There is going to be some charcuterie and cheese boards on the "garden party" and I am torn ...

Usually rather my mountaineering- and hiking-knife, but today the Pac Salt is with me for some workout. At least still outdoors...
