9 times out of 10 I'll have on me the Watu and Police4LW, between them they can easily handle everything I might require during the day. Sometimes it's their fancy pants counterparts (Ikuchi and Millie) but that's mostly due to the fact the scales are relatively new on both and I get a kick from car...

Away from the choil would be my instinctive grip. I should also make a distinction on my user experience when using choils. I fully, totally, whole-heartedly dislike the type of handle that has a quite pronounced 'point' that forces your grip in a certain position (like seen on the Para3, ParaMilita...

I only have 2 rules: - do not buy exact duplicates - if not used/carried for more than 3 months (unless part of a more elaborate rotation system), sell it I've broken my first rule only recently, with the Watu (although I must admit, that was partially due to the allure of having wooden scales insta...

Most carried: Military, Kapara, Ikuchi, Watu
Favourite knife: S90V Millie (both the liner lock and frame lock versions)
Summer knife: Pacific Salt
Beater: Police 4 LW

The Watu really "speaks to me" more and more [...] Just a bit pricey especially here in Europe, and I wish they would have kept the frame lock (or make it a linerlock) of the Chokwe. It's the exact opposite for me: the frame-lock on the Chokwe has made it a hard pass at that time, but I'd love to s...

T-Mag and Bi-fold. I still carry both from time to time

My most anticipated knife of the year has been Watu, bought it as soon as it was out. Found it so good that I immediately broke my 'no duplicates' rule. Also got a SPY27 Para3 so I can play with the steel. Definitely must buys for the rest of 2020 are the S90V Native Chief and from the new reveal th...

S90V

Watu

Nice gesture on Spyderco's part, definitely feels like an upgrade. I like my SPY27 Para3 well enough, but the Watu has to be my most carried knife at the moment and possibly one of the best knives I've ever edc'd



You guys are in for a treat

So here I was fondly perusing my Military horde (not-so-gratuitous pic, you'll see if you keep on reading) https://i.imgur.com/rp79tYh.jpg and wondering which should go into rotation when I noticed I have 2 of them almost exactly alike (namely the orange S30V) and since I’m a bit keen on not having ...

The only thing wrong with the Military is that there haven't been any new releases in quite some time.

K390 Police, Pac Salt PE and SE, Smallfly

Remote Release Salt

Another vote for the Military (LC200N blade & liner, Ti standoffs, lanyard tube, screws and clip, yellow G10). I'm saying 'liner' because pre-2004 Millies used to have only the one anyway (presentation side used to be a full G10 slab, still plenty strong in my experience). If that fails to materiali...

I've found the overall shape of the handle to be much more important than the existence (or lack) of jimping. I have Pacific Salts both with- and without jimping on the thumb ramp - and in all honesty I can't see the jimping itself making a world of difference. I grew accustomed to it I guess but wh...

My ideal Spyderco already exists, it's called Military

No need for a pitch, I'm willing to try it out but ideally I'd want an Endura-sized sibling to follow, if sales justify it

I'd be down for a pair (prefer the somewhat shallower, Military-like choil on these vs. the deep one on Natives). That clip point is sweet, too.
