Re: Still looking for UKPK in new steels and colors

I'm certain a lot of people are on board with this. Having three UKPK already, I would much rather see the return of the Caly 3.

Re: Seconds & used sale - a perspective

I have not participated in a seconds sale: on-line or in person; and not likely something important to me.

Do want to say, "It is another one of those things that sets Spyderco apart from the others".

Glad they do it,

Re: VG-MAX- Tell Shun to give it up

Has anyone here tried the Yaxell Dragon BD1N? Walkaway impressions vs the other Japan kitchen cutlery that is done in VG-10 or VG-10 variant? I feel it is a little harder than Spyderco folder BD1N and therefore is something of a different animal, but I have no proof/test results of this; just impres...

Re: Your ideas for the future of the seconds sale?

If online, then maybe sooner in the month so the packages can be shipped prior to the holiday package rush commencing.

Re: Your ideas for the future of the seconds sale?

Maybe kick off the seconds sale with a forum member lottery/drawing for first knife pick. This would be for one knife only and you still have to purchase it; it is not a freebie nor a giveaway. Maybe it gets engraved "First Knife 2xxx Seconds Sale" if interested. I'm thinking it could add ...

Re: Why the hate of Zome?

I believe I am "sometimes/indifferent" - however, I voted "I collect them all" as I believe I have purchased every zome Delica that has been available.

Re: Can we (civilly) discuss fixed blade prices?

On the practical side: I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Buck! Still producing the same fixed blades today that were in all the stores 50 years ago when I was a little kid. A general purpose sized fixed blade, w/ a sheath, and USA manufacture can be had for $60. They function very well as a slicing...

Re: Smooth Contoured PM2

The Kapara is definitely not like the PM2, despite them both having compression locks. If the OP is interested in contoured PM2 scales, you should really check out scales by Aramis Akhmedov in Russia. His scales are absolutely phenomenally made, and the grip he gives to the PM2 with the contours an...

Does your Manix 2 Lightweight Rex45 Box Label read ????

Does your Manix 2 Lightweight REX 45 box label read FRN (mine does)? Spyderco's webpage lists it as FRCP.

Which is it? I've never been able to tell a difference between the two unless it is translucent. :confused:

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

Couldn't resist getting the Bradley Bowie and I had DLT points to use. I love these designs, but want I really want is the Junction blade and size with the contoured handle of the Bowie. And a color, of course. ;) Honestly, I thought the same thing. After using mine quite a bit, I don't know that i...

Re: Official 2021 Discontinued List

I'm guessing there must not have been much stock in the pipeline on the ZDP Dragonfly...I'm not seeing them in stock anywhere, and the ones that are listed don't seem to have been discounted. I wonder if they're going to have any new stock on closeout at the Seconds Sale. I'm guessing there isn't m...
