Don't want to skew the poll results with a vote, since the only thing I use the SharpMaker for is serrations, and I run about 40:1 on the ground side. PE gets freehanded.

A "beater knife" to me is the one I reach for when I *know* what I'm about to do will trash the edge. For a couple of years, that was a Sprint run S90V/CF Military. Others have filled that role over the years. Price, materials, maker, country of origin are all irrelevant, it's just the knife I'm ...

The Endura fits me like it was made for my hands. That point falls between my middle and ring fingers so naturally that I don't even notice it's there, and my calluses are long gone. A girlfriend once declared it was totally unfair that my hands were so soft since she knew what I did for a living.

linerlocks inevitably are "unsafe" for the fingers cause those are in the "blade path".


Exactly! 👍 Very well said.

It is an unavoidable required operation when using a liner lock. A finger MUST be placed in the path of the blade to operate a liner lock. That's not up for debate either. (If ...

Complete fakes, all of them.

When I saw this thread, I thought "What hump?" I then got out an Endura, opened it, held it and thought "What hump?"

It sounds to me like it's time for you to start making REX121 knives and selling them cheap to show Spyderco how it should be done.

Nope. I doubt it ever will.

I figure the St. Nick's Deadpool Military was the last bit of love the original would get. Pity, since I'm one of those mythical beasts for whom the Compression lock is a deal-breaker and tip down is the way to carry. I still don't own a Military2 and I don't plan to.

According to one of the Spydercrew from manufacturing I spoke with a few years ago, that would be enough to make a Golden, CO knife a factory second. That was before the robot sharpener was on-line, which sharpens under a coolant at all times. As for the actual effect on the blade, it would depend a ...

My point is this let's say you blow the tip off a blade, I have had this happen. You can regrind it but it will be shorter, or you screw up reprofiling then what?

Then maybe you should accept responsibility for your mistake(s). Use it or retire and replace it.

Replacement blades yes but only when you send the old one back.

Only if they abandon their long tradition of improving their products. Anyone want to see that?

It looks like MT32 (SRS13/SUS405) is missing from that list as well.

Heck, I still got mine...


It is amazing how many vets still hang on to those things. Mine wore slap out from use or I'd still carry it. I would love to see Spyderco make these out of a tough steel so they'd last. I always thought these would be more practical than the Dog Tag knives they ...

I hope they still have some Ayoobs for the next Sale. I pulled my Sprint out of storage today (found it while looking for something else) and the spring holder had broken, so the lock doesn't work. Last time that happened to me was on a G-10 Flight. Probably easier to buy a second for the part ...

So now you want to blame Spyderco for sales tax? Get real. MAP is Minimum ADVERTISED Price. Dealers can still sell below cost if they want to, they just can't advertise that price. Maybe, just maybe, they've figured out they can't stay in business that way.

Pretty easy for me.

I see no need to tell any marketing team what I have owned in the past.
