Re: Tasman Salt vs DF hawkbill both SE

Was just going through some pics and thought I'd throw this one into the mix :winking-tongue https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51545342161_98f781fe4f_w.jpg Is it true you can just dye the Salt Series knives by dunking the handle into the RIT dye?

Re: Tasman Salt vs DF hawkbill both SE

I've never actually help a Tasman salt, from the pics it looks like the ramp is less than a standard salt model, is that right? Never really liked the larger ramp on the delica sized salts, probably one reason I've always preferred the Pac Salt.

Re: I think we’re reaching the limit

Maybe just more people are buying houses. Doing so had a very chilling effect on the budget of my absurdly-non-essential expenses ... Mortgage payments are the worst! I've bought one knife this year and only after selling a couple to cover the expense. Luckily the last couple reveals really haven't...

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?

So anyone else have a spydiehole on their new Native that's just really not sharp/crisp? My thumb keeps slipping off the knife when opening it, I'm use to the Seki Salts where the hole is sharp enough to cut and sometimes needs even a little file work.

In the future we should start a discord group for drops so we can kick those who just want to chatter. The level of disrespect in this group is really disappointing.

It's a special Christmas message. If you send away for a Little Orphan Annie decoder ring you should be able to decipher it.

Re: What Spyderco that was DISCONTINUED would you like to see back.

Caribbean SE... although what disappoints me most is there was talk of a model with a longer blade utilizing the original scales, I suppose that won't be happening now.

Re: Are there any models you liked the previous better than the current?

One more vote for the Pac Salt. I like everything about the design, even the texture and the clip. I tried to like the PS2 but the grip just doesn't feel right. I also like how the grip on the PS1 is just long enough for the blade, no wasted space. I have a couple in the safe as backups...

Re: Anyone else prefer Barrel Nut Clip Holder

I was just thinking the other day how I'd love to see a run of magnacut pac salt 1. There's really nothing about that knife to criticize and I don't find the ergos on the PS-2 to be an improvement.

An H1 Rock Salt and a Warrior Hawk would be fun to have and use. I'd like to one day add a WTC Tribute to the collection as well.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

I've been using the same trio for a year now, the longest I've gone in decades. Serrated Pac salt 1 in the pocket, stainless Bug on the keychain for light use, Waterway for around the yard and fishing.

Re: Black Friday Deals

Feel like I deserve a certificate for not buying anything so far this weekend. The Siren sprint is really hard to resist, but then again I want to try the Native 5 Magnicut and they'll fill a similar role.

Re: 2023 Official Discontinued List

Ouch this is a sad day. I've been avoiding the forums to resist temptation... I've got a new mortgage to concentrate on and the last couple reveals haven't really appealed to my tastes. Serrated Caribbean is my favorite knife. Going to look for a deal for a backup on that one. I really like the sire...
