Spyderco Forums

The hype is real. It's like they combined a GB2 and a Sebenza and made it a flipper Local store has had one sitting used BTW and it is out of my range. Those designs are killer! Hope they let you touch it at least! This one is impossibly light. The used market on the BF Exchange is quite reasonable...

Love M4, love REX45... K390 is the only steel I've used that was a noticeable improvement over these for fine edge holding, while retaining a similar feel in use and on the stones. I'm no scientist or survivalist BTW, so don't pretend I have data or a cool story to back that up :)

Thanks! Really wish the textured lock side was more common with Hinderer, all the XMs I had were smooth.

My one and only Hinderer. I was so underwhelmed by the weak detent on it that I never considered getting a second one. The fact that they are crazy expensive when they reach my country also lessened my enthusiasm for them. hinderer_xm18_wharnie_01.jpg The Gen4 was hit or miss. Some really special, ...

Very nice, keep the pictures coming please! Really looking forward to this one, hopefully in a tool steel. Lets REXify it!

Thank you!

Stoked about this one, but when do we get a Sage2 reboot in something... Maybe magnacut?

The Sage5 might be the best Sage by a few points, but the Sage1 and 2 are still the ones I reach for.

HA! I've been on the hunt the past few weeks for Hinderer XM-3, but also been looking at XM-3.5's as they seem to be a bit easier to find. I'm feeling pretty picky about what I want though (Non flipper, slicer style blade, bronze or black, preferably a black or stonewashed blade) I've found a few o...

Wish I had gotten a Shirogorov years ago.
Just so much fun to use and play around with.

I'm so relieved that Shiro knives do nothing for me lol

These aren't too bad. $600
I think you can hit that fairly easy with the right CRK?

Ha! Exactly.

You've got to get a CRK in hand, to really understand. It's a feel kind of thing. Nothing about these seem done wrong! I've bought and sold A LOT of knives during my time here, I've only sold 1 CRK and that was to a member here that was itching to try one for himself. I believe he still has it! The...

My first "nice knife" that wasn't a Buck or Case was a Benchmade 3550. My second was also a Benchmade, 330. Tried to love a few after that including the 710 and 940, but it wasn't until the Bugout that I felt like Benchmade was back in my life. Now the Narrows has really pushed the limit o...

Instant... and instantly dye the scales. Gig'Em Yeah. I will likely buy one to try the steel but I find burnt orange particularly awful as well. *Bumps Fists* It's funny how some (like me) love burnt orange and some almost "hate" it. Though I am afraid I could be in the minority here and ...

GB2 is one of the most neutral knives Spyderco makes IMO, which leads to a pretty universal appeal for anyone that likes a knife that size. The Caly 3.5 is definitely "more Spyderco" unique, if that makes sense.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of yours that’s not “off the charts good”

Ha, thank you! Just walking the dogs... Something about a CRK on ice makes for a great pic!

Really wish I had grabbed a L21 in black micarta when I had a chance.
