You might consider the Spin as well (depending on whether you prefer a straight "wharncliffe" blade over the Cricket's recurved blade).

Are you saying that a NEW one AND a used one were sold for a COMBINED $100?

Okay, I was not looking for / hoping for that great of a deal -- just a reasonable price somewhere in line with what they cost when they were a hot new release. I simply don't think $140 is reasonable, not when anyone ...

The Dodo seems like a superb small EDC that I passed over due to limited funds. A Dodo with a Swick-like blade would be irresistable, however. :D

PE Civilian. There is a very simple reason too: it starts with $ and ends with $ (with quite a few more thrown in the middle too).

You're telling me. I'm kicking myself for not getting up 20 minutes earlier.

Best,

FYI 2 Paras (1 NIB; 1 LNIB) just sold on a knife aficionado site for $100 shipped. If you want good prices you just have to be patient and watch the right sites.

Best,

First off, I HAVE carried the Ronin on several occasions but I DO NOT carry it regularly.

The Ronin isn't a "micro" knife like some last-ditch SHTF knives. I assume you looked up its dimensions and know whether they will work for your intended purpose. The Tek-lok sheath offers a handful of ...

The SPOT may eventually be hard to come by, but right now Sierra Trading Post has a ton of VG-10 ones on clearance (found out while I was getting my FB Temperance).

I'll confess that I have a slight adversion to the SPOT because it seems to be all "belly" and very little tip. In this design and w ...

Ahah! The true reason for releasing the ZDP D4 Sprint Run: a knife that can repeatedly open the clampacks that its merely-mortal siblings come encased in without dulling the edge. :cool:

Another quick thought - for truly hard-use applications such cutting open bags of cement mixture and cutting industrial strength cardboard, would it make more sense to use a basic :spyder: that resharpens easily like a SS E4/D4 or even a Byrd? This way you get good performance without killing your ...

For cutting boxes, you really need a Hawkbill, but if it's the kind of cardboard I'm thinking of(industrial cardboard that feels like particle board and doesn't flex at all) none of the Hawkbills currently available are sturdy enough for that.

Upcoming Superhawk would be perfect, but for now I'd ...

It seems that most people who are attracted to CF like the material because it is a unique, high-tech alternative to other handle materials. These qualities enhance the knife's aesthetics and/or collectability. Nothing wrong with that.

Honestly I was mostly wondering why I often hear clamor for a ...

Whaddaya mean: Pretty soon and THE DAY AFTER a knife is announced? I send Mary Beth an email the very day that TazKristi announced something that resembled a release date for the BG-42 CF Mili :) . Thank goodness that I am not as eager as some other people to get the Delica ZDP sprint run.

:eek ...

:confused:

Based on my very limited understanding (feel free to correct me), CF and G-10 seem to be very similar. I think that they weigh almost exactly the same. The both seem to be strong, light, wear/corrosion resistant, and non-conductive (am I right here?). Now that Spyderco has the new ...

Pretty soon, we'll be calling NGK the day after Sal/TazKristi announces a knife to place pre-orders.... :rolleyes:

They will be out in another color after the blue is gone. Straight from the horse's mouth.

Spyderco's responsiveness and commitment to the ELU is quite impressive. Another run of ZDP Delicas would be great news. Regrettably my favorite company has been known in the past to experience delays in ...

My girlfriend bought me a Spin for our 3 year anniversary a few months ago. I've been carrying it everyday as my true EDC. (I do carry my Native and my Leatherman Charge Ti in my backpack, but haven't had to use them over my Spin yet.)

I've found that I can get by pretty easy with such a small ...

delica ZDP-189, Spyderco, an amazing company, comes out with an affordable new magical steel in a price low enough for REGULAR non rich working people... and what happened ....... people buy more, way more DelZdp than they "really need" and us the "people" can buy a great knife with retail of $109 ...

the finish is at least better than the cheezy finishes on gerber knives etc

I use tuff cloth too. good stuff

Without intending to knock other knife companies, I would agree with you that Spyderco knives have first rate workmanship and finish. [Note that my experience is limited to ...

Just received my Swick a few days ago. I have fairly small hands but the Swick's ergos are just right. The blade is a nice hassle-free size/shape, and the blade is razor-sharp (as expected from :spyder: ). I'm going to be using this little gem extensively around the house. It might also see use on ...
