Spyderco Forums

The Stretch LW is one of my all-time favorite knife designs. It fits my hand in a wide variety of grips like it was custom molded for it, plenty of cutting edge, enough belly and point to be useful, and visually pleasing with the curve to the spine of the blade. The Stretch 2 changed the ergonomics ...

Hmm... 1. Whatever Victorinox uses 2. Whatever Case Tru-Sharp is. 3. Whatever Case CV is (A 1095 variation?) 4. 1095 5. 52100 6. D2 (And CPM-D2) 7. CPM-M4 8. CPM-Cruwear 9. CPM-Rex 45 10. Hap 40 11. Super Blue 12. V Toku 2 13. Gin-1 14. VG-10 15. AUS-6 16. AUS-8A 17. ATS-55 18. H1 19. ZDP-189 20. 15...

One big issue with the WolfSpyder is that it was originally only sold in the UK through Ray's shop, and then later at the factory outlet. If it'd been released through normal distribution channels it might have done better. I carry mine occasionally, and for a small knife with a really thick blade, ...

I hope it's ground thinner than the original, which has a (Surprising for an Ed Schempp design) rather poor edge geometry.

I'm in.

Cruwear or M4 all the things! (And HAP40 for Seki models)

I have a Q-Ball and the D'Allara 3, and the Q's always been easier to unlock for me on my examples. A Manix 2 cage doesn't look as nice, but is a lot easier to manipulate than either.

Now where's the serrated one? I have plenty of small PE wharncliffe slipjoints; need one in that size with teeth!

Hmm. PE Tasman in LC200N, anyone?

I am weak willed and easily seduced. Despite not really liking the Dragonfly I now have the 20CV and Cruwear versions inbound. At least I can take a picture of them posed next to their respective Delica counterparts...

I'd like a Lum Chinese (And/or Lil' Lum) using it. Maybe with M390/20CV/204P now that non-Japanese steels are an option in Seki-made knives, or one last hurrah of ZDP-189. (My RN Chap has one big patch of missing mesh on the clip side, but it's right over the pivot so you can see the details of the ...

If I didn't already have a Rex 45 Chief, it'd be a lot more tempting...

I've long wanted a version of the Rock Salt/Schempp Rock better suited for chopping - thicker stock so it has more mass, in a tough tool steel -- V-Toku2, maybe.

Between this and the 20CV one, I wish I liked the Dragonfly more, but the handle shape just doesn't work for me.

I'd be up for a P4 or Endura in Cruwear though. Or pretty much any Spyderco fixed blade design...

I'd love to see the Wings Slipit re-released. Maybe with a pointer PE blade.

Picked up mine from the post office today; first Shaman. Didn't realize it would be quite so chonky. Between it, the Rex 45 Native Chief and the BHQ Rock Lobster being my last three purchases, I'm having to come up with excuses to carry bigger knives than I normally do lately...

Do we know what steel & handle material/color the sprint is supposed to use? I'm not up to searching 49 pages of posts looking for it...

Really can't afford any more knives right now, but since it's actually somehow still in stock...

So, estimates on how long it'll last on the site?

Well under a minute if the last one is anything to go by.

The Barong's still my favorite, though there's a bunch of other great big knives. Probably the Native Chief from the ones explicitly listed in the poll.
