Re: Bring on the Compression lock Lil' Native

It's great news that these little knives, and the Shaman, are on the way. I'm still most interested in the Native Chief, supposedly the biggest of the bunch. That one still seems a ways off. I doubt I'll buy the little ones. I pretty much only carry my natives now if I go somewhere the law keeps me ...

Re: Favorite Spyderco 2017 Release So Far & Why

Nothing for me either. I'm waiting on the Chinook 4 and Police 4. Everything released so far is too small for my taste.

Shabaria Sprint

Interested to see who else would be interested in another shabaria sprint. I've always been intrigued but have yet to set my hands on one. Anyone else interested? How about an FFG model? Maybe some owners of past models would like to chime in. Thanks in advance.

A nice big fixed blade wouldn't be bad either.

Re: Manix 2 XL in upgraded steel....

Wouldn't mind seeing the S110V version. I just "upgraded" my Military and it's quite a piece.

Re: Native Chief - Can we get a heartbeat?

Been waiting for this one for years. I do believe the prototypes have been around for a little while, but no photos. Any news would be great.

Re: Anyone else excited for the new police model

This one seems interesting. I guess some news is better than no news. There are several interesting upcoming models for which we have no release information, other than soon. I'm looking at you, Chinook 4.

Medford Knives

Does anyone have any experience with these? Many of them, in particular the praetorian and panzer, seem bulky, not very user friendly. Just curious.

Re: Comparison of Three Small Compression Lock Folders

While the price is high, so far I have been impressed with the photos and videos that feature the Lil'Temperance 3. The samples that have made it in front of the camera seem to be well made pieces. I have large hands, and prefer larger handles for use (a S30V black G10 satin Military is usually in m...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2017 Report

Those last two three blade concepts look cool. I always wished my Swiss Army knives had spydieholes so I could more readily access the tools. The main blades appear to be liner locks. Are the two other tools slip joints? Still wish the larger Natives (Shaman, Chief) were ready for photos. Maybe next...

Hoping we see the Chinook 4 at dealers soon now that the D'allara has dropped. This one has been many years coming.

Chinook 4 sprint run in 10V. Strong lock, tough steel. Send some over to Japan with the S30V.

Re: What do you think of the Titanium K2 model?

Easily the best slicing folding knife I own. Plus, it can slice all day thanks to the CPM 10V steel, which thus far has proven more rust resistant then I imagined. I would like to see CPM 10V used again. Sprint run for the upcoming Chinook 4? I guess that would best be discussed in another thread.
