Re: Native Scout?
WE could always buy a Native chief and do this, too : https://messerforum.net/threads/spyderco-native-custom-special-wip.145705/ Ding ding ding! We have a winner!!! :party-face Unfortunately though, it’s just easier for people on here to tell Spyderco to invest resources into creating the knife the...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
If I can get one, it looks like the price will be the equivalent of USD 112 + VAT + processing = about USD 160. Hopefully I can avoid the shipping fee, but then I will have to buy something else as well, to get above the free shipping threshold. So not exactly free shipping :) Still not that much m...

Re: Shaman w/ XHP & Black Micarta
Huh, strange mix of characteristics. After looking over some info, the only thing that I can think might edge it over some of it's competition (unintentional pun there) would be if it sharpened easier than more stainless options, but I haven't seen anything that suggests it does. It can get pretty ...

Re: Chaparral
I have a feeling the last two remaining non-FRN Chaparral folders (Raffir Noble & Birdseye Maple) will be in the 2025 Discontinued List which will be announced later this year. Chaparral CF/G-10 and Sun & Moon were discontinued in August 2023 as part of the 2024 Official Discontinued List ....

Re: Shaman in XHP and Micarta
It's not an exclusive and during Blade HQs live video they said 'limited run'. So is it a sprint? No offense meant, but imo it would be a good thing if people checked if there perhaps already IS a recent thread on stuff like a newly revealed exclusive, model before they start a new one... Would kee...

Re: Native Scout?
Just to sum up what in my subjective opinion makes a "real Native", why people might want a version between the "5" and the Chief and why the Shaman is not that. - Rather thin, slicey, but not tall blade with comparably fine tip (very fine on the Chief). (Shaman: Thick, partly sa...

Re: Native Scout?
..... I didn’t say a 3.5” Native wasn’t for me and it wasn’t hyperbole, I meant it - where is the limit? People have already been asking for a larger Native Chief as well. 4.5” Native Chiefs are also a glaring hole in their lineup, so why shouldn’t they make it? Either way, I would question if thei...

Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?
Comp lock is strong, reliable, and easy to operate. I am not sure what else do you need from a knife lock. ... The comp. lock is a great lock indeed. But so are backlock, linerlock, CBBL. "Easy to operate": Yes, the comp.lock is that too, but in less than ideal conditions (gloves...) a li...

Following vivi's line of reasoning, Spyderco should not have developed the Endela, but instead suggested to people to grind down the Endura. ... Yes, while I personally prefer Endura sized knives for general EDC, I am totally with you on that. (And sometimes I do want a shorter, more convenient car...

Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?
Couldn't agree more on the Rhino. It's obviously made for a liner lock and the compression lock is just awkward. I also wish the Kapara was a liner lock. This. Plus perhaps grippier scales (like an affordable, workhorse textured linerlock Kapara) and I´d have more than one! That said: As far as I a...

Re: Native Scout?
Honestly when I look at that picture I wonder why people don't just buy a Native Chief and grind the blade down a bit if they want a shorter version. ... Doesn't solve shortening the handle. The 3.5 blade and proportionally shorter handle is what I'm looking for. In folding knives half inch increme...
