Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!

It's surprising that it's not a Sprint run. Hard to imagine there's demand for more than a single run.

Re: Do you use your Spyderco or just collect them?

I get the most pleasure from buying, fondling, and modding knives to remove their perceived flaws. Yep it's kinda weird. I like how most people here understand and accept that people are different and they enjoy the hobby in different ways. I carry at least one knife everyday but my "office&quo...

I have a warranty "credit" (plus cash) I would use for this if it comes out before the end of the month (when my "credit" expires).

Re: CPM 15v Manix 2

I think Spyderco's latest policy is to only "reveal" knives that are very close to release. They got tired of people complaining about delays.

Re: CPM 15v Manix 2

Yep plenty of room for all types of users and collectors. No doubt that's best for Spyderco too. No one likes flippers of course. I'd like to get one to use and sharpen and experiment with.

Re: Fake Techno 2?

I don't think there's a fake Techno 2. There's a fake Techno 1. The "higher-end" Spyderco fakes are not even close in quality to the originals. They are easy to tell apart when in hand.

Re: Sprints/Exclusives since JAN 2019

Most likely liners will be coated. As someone pointed out, the original run of this knife last year cost $7 more.

Re: Bad quality of C192TIPM390 Spyderco PITS M390

I can understand disappointment over finish quality at that (U.S.) price. Frankly I'm not sure why someone overseas would pay a hugely inflated price when apparently there are other brand options without the mark-up.

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

You can't just add washers. The spacing needs to match all around the knife at each standoff or backspacer.

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

For those with the wonky serrated grind, if you lower the angle on the plain edge portion I bet it will look much better.

Congrats on getting your knife back. I've lost a couple. A Pac Salt while swimming and a Tasman while gardening.

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?

10% but without a doubt my favorite knife company. Flippers made some heavy inroads to the collection haha. I used to be a real Spyderco fanatic. Still love ‘em but I’ve broadened my horizons.

Re: In Defense of Liners

How does Stretch XL lockup compare to other Spydies?
I love the Manix 2 Lightweight. Also like the Dragonfly 2 wharnie. Never warmed to the Native 5 Lightweight or the Para 3 Lightweight.

Re: Thin grinds?

Yeah factory knives are usually disappointing in that regard. I've reground a bunch but they certainly don't look as nice as factory.
