Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?
I would put it more as “too much money for any knife”. $265?!? Too much. Well, I got mine for clearly less money back when the Kapara was pretty new on the market - but going by todays general prices I think it is worth even the current price, when I consider the perfect execution and really high e...

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?
OCD4EDC.com makes compression tab extenders for various models. He calls them CMEs (compression made easy). With the tab extender, even a lefty should have no problem manipulating the compression lock. I started a thread about this device once - I think in my first post I linked a vid where one can...

Re: The greatest mail call ever??
For me, i think it is. Well, maybe receiving the first Siren and Waterway topped this but nothing else! I haven’t felt this kind of excitement over a new knife in YEARS! https://i.imgur.com/UAVn3Tt.jpg I’ll offer some very brief initial observations on both knives. Catcherman: I was a Spyderco fan ...

Re: Golden Serrated Salts
My focus here is less on "Salt", but specifically on "Manix LW" when it comes to SE. I was really hoping that the Manix 2 LW Salt would finally give us a fully serrated ffg Manix (as far as I know there was only one fully serrated version so far, but in hollow grind and G10). I n...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
.. Neither are bad but there’s far better compact knives out there than both - Namely the Chaparral… Compared to the Lil Native The Chap has 9mm more cutting edge yet the profile when folded is only 4mm longer and 2mm wider (but is 3mm shallower) and the ergos are absolutely perfect. It’s slim and ...

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
.... I will say this, if you wear slacks, or thin pants, this may be an issue. I wear thicker pants almost exclusively, and this is a non issue. If this is your primary knife that you will utilize and deploy multiple times per day, this could perhaps become an issue regardless, though I don't alway...

Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?
To me, the price point is the primary attraction with Chinese value line. That difference becomes less obvious with the higher end steels. Sure the designs are good as well, and if you prefer your edge all the way up to the handle, there's not a whole lot of options in the Spyderco lineup. It's sti...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
I understand different hand sizes and perspectives but to help me understand more what do you normally use a blade for when hiking? Thanks if I recall correctly and correct me if I’m wrong, you are doing this in the Austrian mountains and forests which is going to be different from the canyons and ...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
I have both (and the Chap LW). TLDR: Dfly ..and for me it's not even close. I carry a Dfly every day, and it's been this way for years now. It's the knife that solved my EDC. It's the way it balances light weight and small carry size with just enough grip area to get a full, secure grip and just en...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
It would be good if we could include our usage scenarios as that would illuminate the sense that a choice makes. Some here really get the Dragonfly. It is the invisible knife that one never notices in pocket but will greatly outperform its size. This is highly sought in the hiking community especia...

Re: Stretch XL SE in H2, now I get it!
I purchased the stretch XL H2 SE when DACK had it for $75 on a whim. I’m glad I did as I now understand what all the fuss is about with the SE and the model. There is a lot of blade for the handle size. I’m a plain edge kind of guy, but the SE blade seems thin, is extremely slicey and just wants to...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Price aside, I don’t think there’s any scenario where a Chaparral isn’t always superior to the Dragonfly. Better ergos, better blade, and super compact. Where the Dragonfly has always been a mini knife in a mini package the Chaparral is a full size knife in what seems as small as a Dragonfly packag...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Nah. You'd like the Dragonfly better. It is a lot more slicey and it weighs nothing. On some of your adventures you would have it and not even know you did until you needed it. Well, Doc, I was talking about the announced Lil Native Lightweight vs Dfly... As said: The G10 Lil Native has literally n...

Re: Anyone Else Up For a Resilience in CPM-M4?
A clear yes.
Always for more mid to high end linerlock - (as alternatives or instead of comp.lock - ) Spydies and also for more models with a good amount of cutting edge to closed size ratio!

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Agreed! but already own. Looking for an excuse and rationale to buy another smaller Spyderco. Wife has a G10 sage D'fly I bought her years ago, but that's off-limits to me; I'm told I have plenty of my own knives to use. So I've narrowed it down to a FRN D'fly or a Lil'Native LW at this point, and ...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Hahahaha! You are SO predictable! While your logic may be sound, I have an irrational predilection for larger blades. Right now, there's no need for me to buy anything from the existing line-up. I have what I need (and then some). I'm patiently waiting for the next reveal. I want that LW Manix 2 in...
