Spyderco Forums

Put yourself in a phonebooth. Now how much room do you have to execute slashing motions compared to stabbing motions? Both the Greeks, & later the Roman Legions, used shorter swords than their opponents. This was because their close quarter tactics dictated the use of short stabbing weapons. The...

Personally I think a Calypso Jr., with stainless bolsters & exotic handle material, looks more elegant than the Kopa.

What is the weight of the CF Harpy?

I'm interested to see the resulting Spyderco Bushcraft knife. My current standby for camping is my old Falkniven F1. I really like it a lot but I just prefer carbon steel on my camping fixed blades. The carbon steel Spyderco Bushcraft could be a nice replacement.

Break Free.

SunTzu - I notice you mention bringing 2 folders. I would suggest otherwise as 2 folders are redundant and cause extra weight. The usual 3 edged tools I suggest are: Small (4" or so) Fixed Blade, SAK/Multi-Tool, and a Axe/Chopping Knife. For a small fixed blade you could carry a Spyderco Temper...

Guess I am one of the few Hikers that never really desired to thru-hike the A.T. Too much effort involved for a thru-hike, I prefer just to go out and enjoy pieces bit by bit. That said, how close are you and your girlfriend? I knew 2 guys that were good friends through college that decided to thru-...

I'm planning on getting a SE Tasman Salt soon. Only decision still not sure about is will it be Yellow or Black.

Could care less if it scratches easy. I'd rather have a pretty hard working knife over a pretty knife.

The Jot Singh Khalsa is one of my favorite Spydercos. I would love to see it updated with a VG-10/BG-42 steel Blade, Compression Lock or Back lock, and the handle length slightly increased.

I'd love for it to be made in BG-42. Currently I don't have any knives in that steel. Back-lock would be nice, but I would be fine with the Compression Lock. If it is a Sprint-Run, than some new type of handle material would be cool too.

Most of my time in the Army I had the following: Right LBV Strap - SE Remote Release. Belt Pouch - Multi-Tool (At 1st a Gerber, then a SOG) Right Pocket - SE Delica, later replaced with a Emerson CQC-7. CWO - offers some good advice too. I would wait till you get to your first duty station and find ...

So who is selling them?

Congrats on getting a design made by Spyderco, thats great in itself. I need to check one of these out. I had planned on getting a Navigator II as my small Spyderco, but it was difficult to open 1-handed for me. Curious if the Lava would be easier. Anyone able to post a side-by-side pic of a Lava an...

Nice Delicas. I really like the color of the Foliage Green Delica, just not a big fan of CE knives. Figure I will hold out for the SE British Racing Green Delica 4 (SE BRG D4? - cripes thats long too). Too bad you had to ruin the photo with one of those "Tupperware" pistols, and in .45 GAP...

Not a chance in **** would I let a tarantula on me. Friend put one on me as a joke and it ended up flung across the room. Big fuzzy spiders on me just creep me out.

Both companies make a good product. My personal preferance for folders lean toward Spyderco. That said, I prefer Benchmade's fixed blades. Cannot really go wrong with either company.

And I would think the Benchmade Skirmish would be a good counterpoint to the Spyderco Chinook.

I paid $300 for my Coyote Brown Strider SnG. Somewhere down the line I want to get a Chris Reeve Large Classic Micarta Sebenza. The most expensive folder I own is a William Henry 3.25" Spearpoint with Redwood Burl handles. Current value sits somewhere around $400. I bought it at BLADE years bac...

Mine has only opened 1 cardboard box, 1 plastic shipping strap, and cut numerous slits in my microwave meals for lunch.

Just realized it probably is periwinkle. I have a pair of periwinkle scrubs that I remember thinking how the ZDP-189 Delica just disappeared in.

I love the curves and "WoW" factor on my Kris. The Kiwi is a great gentleman's knife. My Jot Singh Khalsa has exotic looks. My Dodo is a efficient cutter for it's size. My Persian has nice flowing lines. My ZDP-189 Calypso Jr. is a cutting machine. My Wegner Jr. is a nice compact EDC. My B...

The Mastiff - got to agree with his steel choices. I like my ZDP-189 knives, but I'd like to see some more use of BG-42. I think the knife industry was too quick to jump on the S30V bandwagon before fully exploring BG-42. Pretty content with the current Spydercos that are out, and the forthcoming mo...
