Spyderco Forums

“In for a penny, in for a pound”, I prefer a nub on a finger-choil, especially when the finger-choil is not jimped and a sharpening-choil sits just beyond.

I’m not in either camp. One knife for life, in view of the decades Spyderco has offered delicious varieties of models, is just cutting off my nose to spite my face. And to soften any compulsion I might have to cycle my 100+ unique Spydie models one day to the next, I let my unbidden curiosity lead m...

... ...Spent 2023 trying to like the PM2 and Native 5, and it turns I do not lol.... :exploding-head ... that's a bold approach: You actually bought 7 (!) PM2s and 3 Native 5s just for "trying to like" these models (and then you even did not..)?! No critique, just a question: Why not just...

You’re not alone.

Get a torx set and tighten. That set will serve you for other Spydies, too.

Having just acquired my OG Chinook grail this week, and a Chinook4 last year, I’m really curious to know what a Chinook5 will feature, hence this bump. Have detailed Glesser-Keating talks actually proceeded such that a prototype has actually been presented at a show? I’ve heard not even a rumor. If ...

Grails in hand are for celebrating. Congratulations.

I have voted “Forward” but only because the Bodacious has all my attention at the moment.

Honestly, though, all the many Spydies I have with kicks, choils and other I like more than enough to keep.

Lubricity has piqued my curiosity and I will pursue this new coating. Who knows, maybe I’ll backfill the other coatings that I have avoided once the concept has been proven to me.

Maybe Spyderco is not for you? Just expressing my opinion. I'm not sorry it made you angry. I’m no more angry than you are sorry. But I am happy to call out trolls. Are you Erich or are you Jesla or are you both? Who made you troll patrol?… I am allowed an opinion whether you agree or not! I won’t ...

Personally Spyderco knives are becoming pocket hogs… no thanks.

My recent acquisition of a Chaparral5 and a Maxamet Sage5 has made me aware of FRN scales with a Bi-Directional Texturing that is not typical of Seki models. https://i.postimg.cc/wv2cJFCh/IMG-0148.jpg I’m often slow to the party. Who knows the future and reasons for this design, which is so satisfyi...

Personally, I would’ve preferred a blade length of 2.99” and a blade thickness of 0.1” for EDC.

Personally, I am sick of small knives. Spyderco has way, way too many pea shooter blades.

Quit downsizing everything.

Thanks for your thoughtful thoughts. Sorta felt like I’d been there.

Got a Maxamet Sage5 coming, for eventual comparison to the imminent REX121 Sage5.

Now I wish I’d jumped on BHQ’s exclusive M4 Sage5.

EDIT TO ADD: It’s arrived and affirms my liking for the new bi-directional FRN that first grabbed me in the Chaparral6.

Nice look. Nice work.

Lubricity.

Eric’s enthusiasms are infectious.

I think I might be getting some coated blades, reluctant though I’ve been.
