The Manix ergonomics do not work for my hands at all but the beauty of this thing is making me want to buy it anyway. :spyder:

Re: Debating on buying my first serrated knife

Those of you who use a serrated knife, what do you favor in that over a plain edge knife for edc tasks? I imagine cutting small branches/twigs or some rope is much easier, but what else is better or as good as a plain edge? Have a Native 5 in serrated. It's great at cutting duct tape and sawing thr...

Re: Hekp?

Hello and sorry to hear about what happened to the knife! That is an older model of Spyderco that isn't in current production. I'm not sure of the name of the model, but if you look through the wiki you may be able to figure it out. Here's the wiki page that it's probably listed on somewhere: click!...

Re: Police 4 (K390) HRC?

I could also go for a DLC K390 Police 4. I'd be in for that one too. I was actually considering sending off the Police 4 I'm carrying for coating once Josh re-opens his books in August. DLC yes that would be so pretty, I'm on the fence about getting one of these (considering just buying a used one ...

Re: 2018 ... catching up!

Civilian just weirds me out. All I think of is a creepy old witch finger. Trust me with very little effort you could remove that finger along with the other nine using the Civilian. Witches do have ten fingers don't they? :D My brother once called the Matriarch (blackout waved version) a "witc...

Re: 2018 Spyderco Resolutions

Hey guys just wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone is sticking to their new year's resolutions... Yes! I'm going to save at least a thousand dollars for every Spydie I buy. No more of half my paycheck going to knives. They're awesome, but I need to have money saved for other things :) Beyond...

Re: Native Chief - Can we get a heartbeat?

That thing looks perfect. Hoping for a backlock, and gray g10 would be cool but I'd like it even better with black linerless FRN and a DLC blade. Of course that won't happen anytime soon if it happens at all, but dang... I would love to have a matching set of blackout Chiefs to go with my blackout N...

Re: I want to buy one knife to last me ~10 years

Picked up a Mora "clipper 840" at my local shop for $17 and ogled various other fancy knives Eric had in the cases. Apparently the clipper is discontinued, replaced by the "companion", so this must be old stock. The Mora looks like a lot of usefulness for under $20, and you get ...

Re: New Guy Intro

Hello and welcome to the Spyderco forums! The Lil Native's a pretty cool knife although I don't have one, I went for the full-size Native myself (serrated black-coated version) when I was first getting into Spyderco and it's still my favorite knife so far. Larger knives are my jam, the full-size Nat...

Re: What do you want to see more of from Spyderco?

Big knives (blades > 4in) with ergos designed for average or small hands. FRN and super-light knives without liners. Black-coated blades. Knives with a better handle-to-blade ratio. Choils. Backlocks. All flat-ground everything. Knives with the blade angled up from the handle like the SpydieChef fol...

Re: Am I the only one?

I can't flick any of my knives open like that. Can't even open them the slower way with my thumb in the Spydiehole. Just don't have the hand strength. However, I've devised a way of flicking open my Native, which goes like this: hold knife in your right hand pivot-up with the display side toward you...

Dang I really want this knife but I have $43 in my knife savings pile and that ain't going to fly. Maybe I can sell some of my others to fund purchasing this one... Super pretty knife, I like the look of the linerless natural g10. It'll be my first non-FRN Native, should be interesting to try. Hope ...

Re: Which Spyderco to Get a None Knife Person?

Buy him a gift card instead of a knife. A fancy knife would go to waste on him by the sounds of it, and a gift card is a nice way of giving someone a thing as a gift even when you don't know exactly what thing they'd like. If he decides that he wants a knife after all, he can spend the gift card to ...

Re: How to find Spyderco dealers

Use Google to find knife shops in your area, and also shops that aren't focused on knives but might sell them anyway, like sports/hunting stores and hardware stores and farm supply stores and military surplus stores. Call all of them to find out which ones carry Spyderco. Kind of a roundabout proces...

Re: Show your mods!

Wow BOOMER52, that's a pretty slick Delica. If the FRN ones had a handle shape like that I would buy one. The choil is very nice.

Any chance of a similarly shaped set of scales for the Endura? And do you have a website where you sell these?
