Amazing Reveal... So that would mean that in addition to the long-awaited Maxamet Millie, we're gonna see Millies in S45VN w/ a diamond arc G10 handle AND a lightweight Millie with Spy27 ??? BTW, the yin-yang Pacific Salt picture is simply stunning, my heartfelt congrats to whomever came up with the...

I'm in. Many thanks to you Paul for the info shared over the years but also for the witty undertone present in the vast majority of your posts.
This being a Millie, I think I'll go with number 036

I don't regularly use my folders for food prep, but as mentioned elsewhere giving them a couple of moments on the board is a quick and handy test to develop a first impression on ergonomics, potential hot spots, etc (That way I was able to learn that I really don't like using back locks on the cutti...

T-Mag with a different take on the magnet implementation
Wharnie Bi-fold

I use mine predominantly on hiking trips. Carrying method is via the left shoulder strap loop of my backpack, that way I can easily remove and open it with almost the same motion. It's light and compact, so not so much dangling on the loop as to become irritating. It's a Salt so it can remain expose...

Voted Endura. I'd really love to see not some fancy new collectors-only edition, but a (re)take on the original: blade shape with pointy tip, plastic handle with an integral clip. (I've avoided on purpose "FRN" because it may be any other type of polymer as long as is rigid enough for structural int...

QI-ed Ikuchi and QI-ed Kapara are shoulder to shoulder in my case but I have to give the "Spydie Knife of the Year 2019" award to the gorgeous Kapara. ^this. I do wish the tip was more acute but apart from that ergos are great and looks are stunning. Plus, it's only one of those few Spydies where I...

In retrospective, seems I've managed to stick to my self-imposed policy of 'no more than needed'. In this case, 'needed' equals 6 knives, 3 of those being Spydercos (Native Chief, Ikuchi, Kapara). Also 2019 is the year when I've decided that Spyderco are a bit overdoing it with the 50/50 choil and t...

I've had zero issues with my Ikuchi, it's a great carry and a fantastic user. Most likely I'll buy a CQI version as well, along with any other kind of sprint they'll make. Also looking forward to the rest of the series.

No choil here (wharnie Salt and a Real Steel S3 puukko).

Love mine, have been carrying it for quite a while now. Have had zero issues so far, opens each and every time as intended and the tip is just recessed enough that can't really bite regardless of circumstance. This is not to say I will not be getting another one when the tweaked batches become avail...

Quoting a bit Chief Crowfoot, the orange Military is like a breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.

really excited for the Chief and Police LW! Same here, the plan would be to get both (no surprise here, huh :) ). I also like a lot the z-cuts, they seem to share the same handle design as the Vic fruit & vegetables knives that I've been using for quite a while with great results, looking forward t...

Nah, it's more of an Ikuchi thing (much more than the usual Spyderco one).
The amount of magic/voodoo Paul imbued in this one must really be staggering...
Same thing happened here, the darn thing is somehow glued to my pockets no matter where I am/what I wear.

i love the classic Spyderco shape of the Jumpmaster.Only thing holding me back are the serrations.I never had a serrated blade. Well, the Jumpmaster will make for an exquisite 'first serrated' knife. For the record, I used to have a bias against serrations as well until a while ago... not any more....

the problem with asking this question on a spyderco forum is that no one will tell you you should just get a mora. ;) ^ this. Something like the Mora Eldris would work just fine. From Spyderco's offering I'd say the Jumpmaster II, as she cuts like a demon, weights ~30 gr more than a Millie and carr...

Ikuchi for me.
I like a lot the front flipper on the Smock but not much else.

I do believe 'fantastic' is the only way to describe the Ikuchi. The design is so streamlined and deceptively simple and yet you soon come to realize this is one of the cases when bare minimum is actually more than enough. Very happy with mine, the wheel flipper working intuitive from the get going,...

I'd pretty much get any variant of the Ikuchi
