Re: Forum Update/Maintenance & Move - PLEASE READ

Nice that the forum is online again! But I'm unhappy that all the contributions can only be read against a gray background (alternately lighter or darker). Although it looks stylish, it is difficult and hindering when reading and understanding the meaning of the text (there is a lack of contrast). I...

Re: Recommendations for a European traditionalist

In my limited experience Austrians like the endura and chaparral. I seriously wonder what the background of this statement is and what distinguishes Austrian preferences for pocket knives from other nations? Maybe I'm a little too superficial, because after almost 20 years here in the forums and es...

Re: Show your Vegetable Gardens and Harvests

Someday I will try starting from seed indoors but first I have to find the time and do some research…it must be very satisfying 👏👏👏 Oh yes, it really is. Especially if you even make it with your own seeds from last harvest. Now to your thoughts that are causing you slight concern: My dear friend, y...

Re: Cricket Lightweight

Now for the bad… the lock is horrible…. Always has been its heavy and causes excess friction both opening and closing, with multiple detents. I can agree with you, because also with my copy it is an extremely stiff and scratchy linerlock. You don't read much about cricket in aluminum construction a...

So it got me thinking - would you guys carry a different sized knife if there were no blade length laws and no potential issues with public perception?
No
Or would you carry the same size you normally do?
Yes

Re: Upping the price.

Could be a blessing in disguise. Chances are if you're on this forum, you've already got more than enough knives in your collection to keep you busy/happy as it is...you just don't know it yet. Based on the poll that was going around a couple weeks ago, the amount of people scooping up 15+ knives a...

Re: How many Spyderco Knives did you buy in 2023?

Not a single one and there were various reasons for that. I don't regret this in any way because my obsession was already worrying. That's why I'm grateful for the pricing policy in general and for the price level in the EU in particular. I have enough supplies of spydies that I won't have a shortag...

Re: UKPK Drop Point Steels

Hi all, I feel that the UKPK DP is one of the best slipjoint knife designs ever (and was my first Spyderco) does anyone else wish that they could have a salt (magnacut), S110v or Spy27 drop point UKPK? ATB NM Yes, me too. However, since the general public does not prefer this blade shape, it remain...

Anyone see the new 2024 price list ? In the past, they used to be under Files. Now, it’s just to download the catalog as a PDF. I’m using iOS Safari. I also miss the price list for 2024.
