Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement

Got mine! Was on the fence about getting another - as well as a Swick 4......but the extra $20 shipping for either the 2nd knife or the Swick dissuaded me. So I guess that leaves more for the rest of you : ) I really wish that Canadian's didn't get hit so hard on shipping charges though. I don't min...

Re: Ulize redux

I was considering the Ulize when I picked up my G10 SE Police 3. I held it in hand and of the two models the Ulize looked sexier but the Police 3 just felt better all around. Both carry slim in the pocket although IIRC the Ulize is still more narrow......I think the choil on the Police 3 is what mak...

Re: Upcoming mule?

I thought that it was stated previously that an LC200 mule would be making an appearance also. Does anyone else remember this?

Re: 2015 Forum Knife Announcement

Been away for a while and came back to see the announcement. I wasn't even sure there was going to be a 2015 Forum knife......so this sure is good news. I was going to pickup a LtWt Native S110v when they dropped to match my LtWt Manix but this sure will fit the bill too. This was certainly not expe...

Re: The ARK has landed

Just checked the Spyderco catalogue and see "Always Ready Knife"......hmmmn, dementia must be setting in .......unless the official name had changed throughout the development of the knife itself. Anybody else know if this might be the case?

Re: Blade usage profile poll

Not a real suitable answer available to me. I intend to get around to using them all to varying degrees but just haven't yet. I love my Domino, the blue weave CF and smooth, fast flipper but it hasn't seen much pocket time at all due to the other available options. Probably used/carried about 50%, f...

Re: BHQ Paramilitary 2 CPM M4 Exclusive.

Although this must have already been in the works prior to the Forum knife polling......it is almost scary how well Spyderco has anticipated the demand for an M4 PM2 - which was probably reflected in how well the PM2 did in that polling and how many people mentioned their wish for it to come in M4. ...

Re: Sal, is this even possible? (Caly 3.5 content)

if I recall, the G10 Caly 3.5 was disco'ed because of a manufacturer issue. I cannot recall any manufacturing issues. Caly3.5 ZDP189 still in production. VG10 variant was discontinued like most of discontinued knives due to insufficient sale. I love the knife and own two of them. I can recall only ...

Re: Stretch or Endura - which one to choose?

I know we can never be 100 percent sure but anyone have a general ETA on the G-10 Stretch? Will it be a ZDP blade? It will be ZDP but when is hard to say. I believe Sal said that the maker could only make 100 per month so they are waiting until they have enough on hand to actually release enough of...

Re: Endura Stainless vs Police Model: Main Differences?

SE G-10 Police 3 is an awesome knife......and also just discontinued. So if you are going to get one - you better grab one now. It also makes for a great steak knife and bread knife with those serrations chewing through anything extremely well. I don't have an Endura though as I have other Spyderco'...

There is more scratches than on VG10 but I don't really mind. A knife has to be used. :rolleyes: You can also polish it, often... Or Stonewashed it... It's what I may do in the future. But for now, the thing I don't like it's the non real smooth openning of my Caly 3. :confused: (Don't know if Caly...
