SpydieChef for EDC?

I'm looking for a little feedback on using the SpydieChef for EDC. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one after all the hype and positive comments about the knife. I've been hesitant because I'm not sure if I like the dramatically upswept blade. Now that I have the knife in-hand, it's very comf...

Re: Bladeshow 2021

Some good stuff in that Knife Center video... Love the larger Enuff (4" blade). I'm curious how thick the stock is... I'd like to see it closer to 3.0 - 3.5 mm blade stock thickness (vs. 4.0 mm in the current model).

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

It's a rare thing to see a company being so afraid of one of their magnum opus, almost to an hilarious degree. I think that's probably your incorrect interpretation having the benefit of hindsight. The Slysz Bowie was discontinued, I believe, because of poor sales, which likely had to do with the c...

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

Got it... thanks for clarifying. I didn't see the Instagram post and was only commenting on the picture. All that would seem to point to the Slysz Bowie!

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

I don't understand why everybody is assuming this is the Slysz Bowie... I don't think you can tell that from the picture. I think the Slysz Bowie is peoples' wishful thinking without much evidence to that fact. Sorry to rain on people's parade.

VG-10 is fine... I’m still in. Super Blue or Hap40 would be even better, if possible!

Re: Z-Wear Shaman lookout thread

I've been gunning for Spyderco Sprints for years, and I think that it has become significantly harder to get a Sprint... demand has increased. I actually find it very difficult to get one these days because they sell out so fast. And that's looking between multiple different stores over multiple dif...

Re: REX45 Para 3 Lightweight

Well, this came in the mail yesterday. Very puzzling how optics planet got a brand new one of these a year after they sold out everywhere. I'm not complaining though! https://i.imgur.com/jBWPMjY.jpg Same thing happened with me and the Burnt Orange Rex45 Paramilitary-2 and an online retailer... they...

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!

Sharpmaker diamond rods at Dack are down to 34.99 before shipping, about 44 shipped for me. That’s the best price I’ve seen on them so I think I’ll place an order. They're worth it. Turns the sharpmaker from an edge maintainer to an edge former. I own a pair of the diamond sharpmaker rods, but I ne...

Re: CBN Benchstone Comparison Question

I have both, and in my opinion the coarse cbn is more aggressive than the coarse dmt, the fine cbn is comparable to the fine dmt, but I find the cbn fine cuts faster. Hope this helps. That is helpful, thank you. Which do you prefer DMT diamond vs. CBN? I already have a set of DMT benchstones (X-coa...

CBN Benchstone Comparison Question

How does the new CBN Benchstone from Spyderco compare in coarseness to the DMT benchstones (coarse/X-coarse/XXCoarse, etc.)? I'm curious which DMT grit it's closest to.

Re: 2021 Forum knife?

I would love to see an updated Gen 1 Delica (pointy tip - I don't care if it's a FFQ or hallow grind), with titanium scales, and a carbon steel like Hap40/Rex45, Cru-wear, M4, etc. (depends on where it's made, I suppose). I don't really care if it's a forum knife or a special limited run.

Re: Spyderco MSRP Increase for 2021?

Well, since I started this thread, maybe I should chime in again. My purpose for starting this wasn't to complain about price increases... only to inquire about plans (which we now have an answer to) for purchase planning. I trust Spyderco as a company to charge what they need to charge to stay in b...

Re: Machete by Spyderco?

Spyderco did a line of Hossom fixed blades of various sizes more than a decade ago... the largest was the Forrester with over a 9 inch blade. Not quite machete length, but still intended to be a chopper. My understanding is they didn't sell well and the series was discontinued.

Re: Spyderco MSRP Increase for 2021?

I'm curious if Spyderco is planning a 2021 MSRP increase across their products as they've done in years past to adjust for increasing costs in production? It was never because of production costs, and you wouldn't install a price control for "production costs" anyway. The price floor was ...

Hi Capt,

I think it's soon on our regular production, I thought I saw a notice, but I don't know if they'll be available before Christmas.

Thanks Sal! Appreciate the update. Looking to upgrade my daughter from a pink Dragonfly to a pink Delica.

Any idea if the Pink Delica is going to drop before Christmas? (more a question for Spyderco)
