I can’t believe this superb folder didn’t sell well enough to be kept in production.

Re-issue of the Phil Wilson designed Sprig in the same S90V steel, but pushed up to the hardness that Phil would prefer, and ground very thin behind the edge. I rather liked the original handle and sheath, to be honest, so no need to make any more changes to it. Otherwise, my CPM 15V PM2 has turned...

Excelent thread. I wanted to start a similar one but you beat me to it. My dream Spyderco would be an XL Dragonfly with a 2.8-2.95 inch blade in SPY27, with an improved lockback(internal stop pin). Sal’s best design and steel, brought to perfection IMHO.

The standards n690 version is listed at 2.61 on the website too. The recent Sprint in damasteel is listed at 2.44” so that seems to indicate they changed the length of the standard back to 2.61, but I certainly have no inside info. There's a possibility someone pulled an old spec sheet. If you want...

Hi Marius, Aicolainen, I don't know for sure. We're checking that now, both to see what's on the shelf and what's in print/Digital. We explained it to our maker this past summer to make sure he understood the reasoning behind the length requirement. sal Hi Sal. Thank you for chiming in. It is impor...

Thanx Mushroom,

That is correct. I'm checking now. Once the Urban production is back to 2.5" blade length, then we can move forward on the "Metropolitan".

sal

So, the specs are incorrect on both the official website and the catalog ?

The Urban is a difficult one to track because of how many unannounced changes it has gone through but I’m guessing 2.61” is a mistake. Sal has stated that they shortened the blade on the Urban, which leads me to believe 2.5” is the correct blade length. (For what it’s worth, the Damasteel Urban is ...

I missed that, but I remember Sal saying that the Urban was meant to be 2.5" and the new Metropolitan was planned to be 2.61 or so. The Met was planned to be 2.75” AFAIK. Maybe the Met project is droped and they realized that the initial 2.61” Urban was a better seller and a better looker with...

Just saw this in the 2024 Catalog. Is this correct ??? I really hope so !!! I was so dissapointed when they decided to shorten the Urban blade bellow 2.5 inch. This would be great news for me since the Urban is my all time fav pocket knife in the Spyderco line. I checked the official site and the sp...

WAIT !!! I need to know this ! The Urban is listed having a 2.61 inch blade !!! Is it correct ? This would be great news for me, I was so upset when they decided to scale down the blade bellow 2.5 inch. The Urban is my fav Spyderco pocket knife for city carry.

I got an early Christmas present of an Endura lightweight 4. I had never really thought of having a Spiderco before but I really like the wayit feels and fits in my hand. My BIL said it's been his EDC for a couple of years and his favorite so that was what he got me. First impressions are I like it...

The Kapara is what's in my pocket almost every day....

I am not completely surprised... Kapara - man

It is a great knife indeed, liked mine a lot.
Just a few tweaks and it could even challenge my Endura.

At least it sports the better lock

What about a plain edge thinner bte(and thinner blade stock) Yojimbo , mr. Janich ? This would be the ultimate cutting blade in my book. Not only suited for MBC but also an awesome slicer and edc. Please ! A sprint maybe ?! 🙏 The Yojimbo 2 and YoJumbo are already pretty thin BTE by virtue of their ...

Dear Sal: Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm humbled and honored. Back when the first-gen Yojimbo was still in the works, I took a Rescue 93mm and reground it to a Wharncliffe. That "RescueJimbo" had a very aggressive SpyderEdge tooth pattern and, in testing with Pork Man clothed...

Thanx for posting that video link. I think it's something that all knife afi's should watch. Mike Janich, in my opinion, is one of the best knife designers of our time. One of the really important things about Mike is that there is no BS. His concepts re very well thought out, and if he says it, th...

Not my most used but my most carried for sure

Hey Unbrokenchain, Thanx for the thread. I just got my production piece so I get to compare notes. Sorry if the color or steel is not what everyone would want, but there are many possibilities, we build what we can, and we build what you want. Just can''t do it all at once. The Sage Lite weight pla...

My safe queens

In each new Reveal I hope to see the upcoming (?) Caly 3.5 LW. To me the clearly more appealing design than the "3", just looking at the specs : - The 3.5 has a PM2 sized cutting edge in a Delica sized handle, while still offering a choil. - The 3 is only 5 mm shorter in carry, but with a...
