Rub on rok
Nife cut good

Aahhh Oogg

yep, keep it as simple as possible

Hi Sal, great idea to raise this topic actually! Offering knives made in China is not show stopper for me, steel choice is though. I purchased few knives in 8cr13mov in past 20 years or so. My first "spyderco" was Cara Cara when it was first released, then followed by Tenacious when it was first ...

Marco72 what an exhaustive thread and very informative including photos I never saw (like the keychain which was basis behind clips). Thank you very much for all the effort.

I think Worker should return into regular production under the new Category - Legends… followed by Mariner in SS handle ...

Why not? Some people got engaged with Spyderco in 80’s as their first modern folder and in Spyderedge… I once attended dinner at home of one French director and his first knife ever was not opinel or laguiole but Worker in SE he acquired in 80’s during his trip to U.S. This sparked his interest in ...

Just today as I was sharpening and maintaining my knives I was thinking of making a new thread with same question :winking-tongue great minds think alike 😁

Out of all steels I had luck putting my hands on I narrowed it down to three in this specific order:

Spy27 - most probably THE One
K390
CTS ...

Are all spyderco knives considered to be BIFL? Or are only certain models? Looking to spent $60-$70 on a knife. Any recommended spyderco model or maybe different brands that would be a better fit in that price range?


Welcome to the forums, if I were you and would consider one pocket knife only ...

I was thinking ivory G-10 like some of he other "test" models?

sal


I am in regardless of G-10 color, but I sure do like Forest Green a lot. :smlling-eyes


+1 on forest green as that one is not assigned to any specific steel if I am not mistaken… ivory g10 would be good too but forest green ...

The rest of us were so excited that we were dancing in the streets, so we were too busy to comment!!

got it! I Should have joined you instead of writing silly comments

I am just too excited about this

Love my Manbugs, recent addition 6 months ago of leaf shaped one was a game changer though… little bugger leaves my side very rarely.

We discussed making a run yesterday.

sal

Am I the only one who saw this message, Sal's little bombshell?! THAT is pretty exciting if making a run has been discussed internally. I just hope it is not going to be some crazy limited sprint run for 400 USD...

vivi Wow, it is indeed the skill I lack. I don't consider myself good at sharpening, I can do quite decent job but I wouldn't be able to sharpen H1 so it lasts such task you showed in the video. After 15 years of sharpening freehand and on Sharpmaker I still have a lot to learn I see. Great post ...

Very happy birthday Sal and many many more!!!

I do love smaller blades and I love to carry one SE and other PE knife along, Dyad will be like two knives in one and I might add another one to my sketching kit as it will be darn handy for sharpening pencils, cutting paper for smaller sketches and such. I am incredibly stoked!

Oooh I am very excited for Dyad Jr. and Metropolitan. Hopefully I will be able to grab dyad before they are all gone. Such a quintessential Spyderco design, absolute legend and beauty.

I do quite like my K04 in plain edge. It has very clever handle design which promotes pinch grip, it doesn't slip in wet hands.

The only few gripes I have with it though are:

1. it is very flexible blade, almost to the point comparable to my Opinel folding filleting knife
2. blade is not very ...

Sorry guys,

I'm still testing the handmade prototype of the 3.5" that Roque made. We're a long ways from a production piece.

sal



Still, and I can´t repeat this enough: So cool you´re doing this, Sal! :smlling-eyes


I would like to join Wartstein on huge thanks to sal for doing this even ...

First off what is wrong with having 1 model in your thousand page line up being made for something else then all the others?

Secondly i think you and many others are pushing a bad vibe because it seems everytime Spyderco goes out of its way to offer a finger you guys want an entire arm… instead ...

I've broken tip only with my clumsiness when my Paramilitary2 in S30V fell on the concrete, 1mm tip broken off. Other than that I treat my knives as cutting tools and not screwdrivers. Abusing the tool for something it hasn't been designed for and complaining about it as makers fault is not ...

To be honest, something that will never happen, but Chap in some non stainles tool steel would be awesome. One can only dream
