Spyderco Forums

I dunno. As good as they cut, serrated doesn't compete well among people who are 'into' knives. This is the distribution of answers from 381 forumites in 2023. Plain edge is still the far-and-away people pleaser.

I'm not sure this WSJ graphic adds anything of significance to this thread's conversation or not, but it's interesting...in a "we're all doomed" sort of way...

All these gorgeous Manii. Makes me want to add more to my collection! Dangerous thread.

Charisma, all 0.8 ounces of it...over twice the blade:weight ratio of a Bugout!

took a glance at those lists and didn't see the catcherman. it has one of the best size to weight ratios spyderco has offered.



Yes, the Catcherman has an amazing ratio! The URL I posted above points to an old pre-Catcherman thread. Here's what I've got now. Ping me if you see errors or ...

Going to put this out there for the hikers and backpackers... size and weight ratios for various Spyderco knives...for those who want the most, for the least.

I carry my fixed blade knife on a length of paracord around my waist. It lays on my waist just above the hip belt. No rubbing. Then when I take off my pack, I still have my knife. I’ll take a picture when I get time.



That's interesting, never heard of that carry method before. Clever. Would ...

Yes, great idea for a thread.

I'm section-hiking the PCT as I find time, and recently have been carrying modified "naked" mules. I used to carry some flavor of LW Manix, and before that, a 'heavy' Caly 3.5, but 'heavy' knives had to go once I got my pack base weight down to 11 lbs. I actually don ...

a recent hike, I had planned to take the Native Chief, but even clipped , it poked my leg so uncomfortably (when stepping upward, as in scrambling over rocks) it got bounced, and a Manix replaced it. Nothing wrong with the design, just the length of it!


IWB carry solves so many issues I see ...

I've looked at my Sage 5 Mint/M4 LW knife, (non-Salt,) and the tip of this blade sits right at the junction of where the top of the liner meets the FRN when folded. Without having both knives side by side, I'd say that looks normal.



I also have the Sage 5 LW M4. Blade sits as Pokey describes ...

More kindling processing

That's a beautiful patina! Wow.

My apologies to the MNOSD I sacrificed a wool sock to crush the amethyst. The sock did not survive the hammer, amethyst, and concrete. I did give the sock a proper Viking funeral.



While we of course regret the passing of a noble sock, it sounds like you did your best to honor it with a flaming ...

Backpacking.

Nice! What part of the trail were you on?



Hi! That shot was somewhere northeast of Idyllwild, Calif.

These mules make wonderful "naked" lightweight blades. I carefully grind a chamfer onto the handle area, and once the sharp edge is gone, it feels good in the hand (for a very ...

[Imagine opening your package wrapped in this Spyderco wrapping paper and you see a pair of socks 😂


Hey, #52: Spyderco socks might just be the best idea, ever. We already have the Most Noble Order of the Sock Drawer . Just imagine some Spyderco logo socks inside the drawer!

As far as paper ...

[Magna Sage]...Just came in and really impressed. Dan

Now stop that! I know what you guys are doing.

I like it.

Not your favorite, not your prettiest, not your oldest, most sentimental Spyderco, your best built, most solid, the one that for years has made you say, man what a tank!



If the measuring stick is "solid," combined with useful , I'd have to say: Manix. I own "tankier" Spydercos (thinking of ...

MG2

You Dawg! I didn't know you owned one of those (or I forgot!). Recent acquisition, or a favorite of yore?

So tempting. I opted not to buy that model because I wanted to try a button version of the comp lock. Thought maybe the Sage would appear in a button-magna combination. Now I'm thinking maybe I can't wait. This photo is not helping any.

I have discovered i do not like the Chief in pocket without a clip, but alternative scales and or pocket slip is still a possibility.
