The Stretch 2 XL is a great knife, too, but I feel the Military 2 is in a class above the S2XL. The S2XL is not a knife that you can push as hard as you can the M2, and not just because of the handle material, or construction otherwise. We can reference the FRN handled version since you brought up ...

This may be controversial, but I think the Military 2 is currently the quintessential Spyderco, representing its current design language. Sorry Boomers ;) Agreed. Completely subjective, but to me it then would rather be the Stretch XL LW: In some aspects pretty similar to the Millie 2 designwise, b...

...Others here who favor the bigger folders can help guide you there. Me, I travel light and fast... Good points, but just as an addition: These days Spyderco gives us options to "travel light and fast" also with "bigger folders": Prime example: Pac Salt ffg: Weighs just 1 gram ...

The FRN is my favorite too and today I used it all day from cutting up some really thick cardboard to roots blocking my path for installing some plants to food prep at lunch… I definitely wasn’t easy on it and was actually seeing how far I could push the envelope and it passed with flying colors…it...

While I think the Delica is the easy answer, I’d actually say the original drop-point Stretch LW is a better candidate. The Stretch is still every bit of “reliable high performance,” like a Lotus Elise, but also even more clearly “designed in the dark,” which is a trait Sal is known for. Function o...

I’m new to all of this but wondering if there is one, quintessential representation of the brand. What’s the model most synonymous with Spyderco? Thanks! That´s a tough one, but good question... I am definitely not the most knowledgable person here when it comes to Spydercos history and background,...

I like it.

If they´ll ever do the Bodacious (more my kind of "Shaman") in that combo I´ll definitely be tempted...

Awesome post Gernot 👏👏👏 Thanks, Salty! :clinking-mugs You know, one thing I like with this particular thread exactly is when people share some background stories to their pics, even if those stories are just remotely (or not at all) knife related. You actually do this and I always enjoy it! :smllin...

My only and the best Manix I personally can imagine in front of the mountain (though a rather low one) closest to where I live - like 20 minutes per bike, 10 per car. (This is the rather narrow front side, the mountain stretches out quite far in several directions and covers a lot more area than one...

Welcome to the Forum . I always suggest if possible to handle different models at a show or a store . There have already been some nice suggestions my thoughts go towards an entry level Manix 2 Lwt . Model is light , strong lock , gives you variety with your Salt . MG2 +1 The "base" BD1N ...

Hi all, I’m new here. I just picked up a Pacific Salt 2 for boating and really love it. Now I’ve got the bug and want an EDC. What’s the right second knife? I was looking at a Delica 4 SG or maybe Para 3. Would love any recommendations. Thanks! Welcome! - I know both the Delica and the Para 3 and f...

Good points, Wartstein. I have the Sage 1 and carry it because it's easy to close safely. The choil hits my thumb instead of the edge. Thanks! Yes, the point here is: - With your Sage 1 you CAN actually leave your fingers in the "path of the blade" when releasing the lock (especially also...

Thanks for sharing Butler! That is a really cool looking knife. It would be awesome to get an updated mariner in H2 or something. butler05 cool looking knife indeed, thanks for sharing the pics and the story! :clinking-mugs okay in a way the Atlantic Salt could be somewhat seen as an "updated ...

....knife review on YouTube and they all say “liner locks are bad because it puts your finger in the past of the blade.” Being somewhat new to knives myself, me and new group of people getting into the hobby listen to these reviews and get “brainwashed” into thinking certain things are better than ...

Resurrecting this thread again instead of starting a new one.

Nice write up!
I always love to read from a fellow "Spyder-head" when a knife just feels so right, works, fits and "clicks".
I can totally relate to that.

Just learned about this from the news.

Hope there won´t be more deaths than the ones already reported, which are tragic enough already.

My best wishes to the Spyderco folks over there and of course generally ALL Taiwanese people.

I am one of those who likes to experience and test his Spydies in the most variety of tasks - including food prep. Here I (or at least my hands ;) ) can be seen doing so with my Stretch XL SE, works great also in the kitchen! (The Delica in the pic is not my knife, but actually a Spydie I gifted to ...

- Bright handle, rustproof "outdoor" version (and also marketed as that: A super slim and small, very slicey, but "bombproof - ly" built highly efficient cutting tool for small outdoor and other tasks- so in this version deliberately NOT focussing on the "gents knife aspect...

Was searching for some old trails (actually from the late middle ages) in a pretty remote area today. Luckily I found a cave to take shelter when sudden heavy rainshowers arrived. Had my trusty Pac Salt with me instead of Goddard the Great which I enjoyed carrying and using a lot lately. But the Pac...

Still not getting email notifications on subscribed threads... Same here. Also still not when someone quotes a post of mine. We're still working on this issue. There's a challenge related to the high volume of email notifications sent. Once we feel it's resolved, I'll post an update. Thanks! Kristi...
