Spyderco Forums

I’ve been musing a little more over this and the more I consider it the more I think a basic Mora with the loose fitting plastic sheath would probably be best suited to your needs. The plastic handle is moulded onto the blade and is a tight seal, the sheath covers not just the blade but most of the...

Honestly as someone with a below average immune system Im interested in this answer. I've always been left scratching my head when someone lists food prep as one of their factors for liking or carrying an edc knife design, especially a folder. I just can't wrap my head around the idea of having a k...

My go to place for HAP40. I recently bought a second Endura at the lower price. Given inflation from when they were produced (2016?) it’s one **** of a good deal in my book.

It really is.

Endela SE, the knife that finally made me generally prefer "teeth" over plain edge in Soyderco folders. Always a great choice, though I also always and still wish the blade would be more handle filling and the knife thus offer a bit more cutting edge (hope they'll "fix" that if w...

... I have one of these and I do like it. It'd be even better if it was not so wide in the pocket, like, ummm, I don't know, a 3.5" Native. :winking-tongue Yeah, a 3.5" Native would be a pretty different knife... as you say, slimmer (thinner, less tall) in pocket, but also a lot lighter (...

Other than a dislike of their prices and return policy, ..... SOME prices are actually really good, like for the above mentioned HAP40 Endura (on average they very well might be higher than usual, never checked that). And someone pointed out a potential advantage of their return policy: This makes ...

Funny you mentioned them. I was pleasantly surprised by receiving the HAP40 Endura today, that I ordered from them on Wednesday! ... Congrats! I think the 125 USD they charge for the HAP40 Endura really are almost a steal. My personal favorite PE folder (this exact version) of all times. I also got...

I'll take your word for it. I've never watched a YouTube knife review. I prefer to form my own opinions Same here, obviously. ;) Occasionally watching Youtube knife "reviews" (mostly not "reviews" to me anyway as I tried to explain) of course has nothing to do with not "for...

I had a girlfriend tell me "It's not fair that your hands can be that soft. I know what you do for a living." And yes, if I pick up a knife or other tool and immediately feel sharp spots digging into my hands, I have enough experience to know what those spots are going to do when I start ...

Fascinating and insightful thread!

Agreed, thanks for sharing @Deadboxhero

I don't watch much YouTube reviews. The one's that I watched were not very knowledgeable about knives, at least by my standards. ... I really don't mean to bash on anyone, but I think many Youtube "reviewers" should just call themselves what they actually are: "First impression of kn...

I bought this OG Catcherman back in the mid-90s for, I believe, $49.95, and used the heck out of it for many years. It's easily my most abused knife, left in the tackle box or ice chest with saltwater and fish blood on it for months at a time. Action is still pretty good, and it sharpens up as well...

3 tests; Average = 59.7 This is typical. Old and new VG-10 the same. sal Thanks, Sal! So obviously my "unscientific gut feeling" that "new" VG10 has a bit better edge retention than "old" one is not grounded in reality. Perhaps it is just that cause my older Seki VG10 ...

The blade is now 3” from tip to the scales, and the handle is now 4”, making the full open length 7”. It is definitely a choil only knife now if you want to have all four fingers on the handle. https://i.imgur.com/q1UIyNV.jpeg Thanks for the info! Again, these looks give the "Shaman" (not...

I use a deep carry on this knife for a very specific reason and its not to conceal the knife. When wearing my rifle on a shoulder sling, I found the butt end of my rifle stock would tap against the top of the exposed portion of the knife when using a regular clip. Using this deep carry clip elimina...

Thanks! I’ve been really surprised with the VG10 on my Delica I bought last year. No chips or rolls and the retention has been really good. Interesting you'd say that: I always have the feeling that "new" VG10 (so on my newer Seki Spydies) holds an edge longer than "old" VG10. C...

That’s a good pic Dan and I gotta get one of those clips

You really don´t!
( ....Just kidding of course, more power to all who (unlike me) enjoy deep carry! )

And yes, nice knife and pic indeed!

I would be using it mostly for gutting and cleaning up deer and larger game. I used a Shaman S30V to gut and clean last fall's deer and it made short work of it. I like to cut thru the sternum to remove the upper chest organs. It takes a hefty blade and you really have to battle with it. My only fe...

Nice knife indeed (except I personally am not into deep carry clips), thanks for sharing! :clinking-mugs But for hunting: Wouldn´t the thinner Bodacious blade be even better? (I am not a hunter (harder to become here in middle Europe than in most of the US), so this is really more a question than a ...

For an uninformed European: What are we talking about here - ?
