Spyderco Forums

Sal asks me to design a Spyderco; and then I wake up.

We have the PM2, the Military, and the Police. I'm happy with the current selection. I guess adding is ok; just don't replace any of these.

Caly 3.5 black G10 VG10

Nicest knives I got this year; Military CPM-S90V Carbon Fiber/Titanium Handle with R.I.L Lock, Military CTS204P Green G10 , Manix 2 52100 Gray G10, and 2018 Forum knife. Dream knife? Hmm - not sure.

The 2014 (oops - 2015) forum knife was S90V as well.

You might also consider Cultlery Shoppe's exclusive orange/S30V Wharncliffe while they're still available. S30V is a fine steel and I actually like the bright orange a little better than the burnt orange.

Yep.

So I feel a bit dumb because I've only now seen this thread... and been hovering around the forums for months.

You and me both. I just ordered one. Glad I got this one cause the last forum knife I got was 2014 (oops - 2015); hmm I guess that is the last one they did(?)

Out of stock now.

I noticed

It's just a matter of time until I get a ZPD189 steel knife.

Steels on the these other guys aren’t 52100, but at least these give you a visual...




As you can tell, I really dig this color scheme! :)

Wow - and your pics aren't upside down like those posted by dipsitck OP :rolleyes:

And when I say chunk; I mean a notch the size of the wire core in the 75 ohm cable. He wrecked that blade.

I guess the biggest thing that put me off on ZDP 189 is a YouTube where a guy cut coax cable with his ZPD189 Stretch (or maybe Endura, don't recall) and he took a chunk out of the blade. And I just thought; wow this is brittle steel. I will grant you that was a stupid thing to do. He seemed to feel ...

everything

With all things considered, I still will be buying the Mantra 3.

I tend to like smaller knives, so here's my list:

Meerkat
Lava
Balance

I was going to say Meerkat.

Don't eat your Sharpmaker.

Good advice! :D

I'm really thankful for the feedback and feel much better informed now.

Nope. Was on board til I saw the recurve. That pic shows it clearly, The old blade edge is much better imo. I’m sure it’s a good knife otherwise.

Hmm - did not notice that. :eek: I agree, that's a detractor.

I am like this close to buying one. I have a mantra and I FREAKING love it.

Kidding (well - half). Tenacious is a great knife and a great value.
