FWI:

Moki is located in Seki.

The other Seki-based manufacturer of Spyderco knives is G. Sakai (Gerber-Sakai), which uses the "Seki-City Japan" stamp.

I didn't know that. Thanks!

Calys were/are Moki...

Thanks for the corrections. I've updated my original post.

Who produces the Caly line? Is it Seki or Moki? I want to say it is Moki, which is getting back on its feet at the moment. However, isn't the Caly LW going to Seki? If I'm wrong, could somebody correct me? UPDATE - several people have mentioned that there has been no news of the Caly LW moving to a ...

In my opinion S90V is amazing but it has slowly fallen off the podium because some newer fancier steels has come around... I don't disagree, but the steels that best S90V in edge retention happen to be tool steels. We are extrapolating the opinions of those for whom a tool steel works just fine as ...

I love this thread...

Thanks for reviving this thread. This knife was before my time here on the forum, so it is always fun to go back and see some new-to-me knives.

I know this is a fairly unpopular opinion, but I like the feel of Teflon washers. The Phoenix reissue is such a smooth knife.

Thank you for your reply. What I meant about the PM2 is that I don't want to buy the crucarta PM2 because I already have one in Maxamet. There are not many cruwear knives on the market these days. There is the Adamas, with a too thick blade and too tactical style, there is the PM2, which I don't re...

With the decrease I was thinking of the Swayback, if anyone has any feedback on it. I'd suggest finding one in a local store and seeing how it fits your hand. It is an absolutely beautiful knife, but it did not fit my hand. The point in the back dug a bit into my palm. The access to the Spydie hole...

High Performance Delica

I am a big Delica fan. Small but capable knife with nice geometry, and there are some interesting options for steel. That said, the Native LW is an interesting model. The ease in which you can take apart the knife is refreshing. I've stopped taking my knives apart with any frequency. But when the ti...

that looks like it smells good. i use frog lube paste. i have two little tubs of it and they will likely be used by my grandkids' grandkids with how little it takes to coat a blade and how infrequently i need to. I use the same. Got a container of it that will easily outlive me. I even used it to l...

Wait, the Mosquito was made like that? I thought it was an over-sharpened Manbug or something. What an interesting knife.

Does this model have steel liners on both sides?

Yes. I have the VG10 version which I assume is the same as the K390 version.

Sal said he was carrying a prototype at one point. That was a while ago. Guess it depends on production capacity.

Even more so: Thinner stock and a backlock on that model would be great! What I like about the Lil’ Temp 3 LW is how it fills the hand. Part of that is the substantial width the model provides. This partially comes down to the 4mm blade stock. Would a Lil’ Temp with thinner blade stock be just as c...

What jumps out to me in that chart is how similar LC200N actually appearantly is to 14C28N - just slightly less though (LC "8.5" vs 14C "9") and, yes, noticeable even-more-rustproof, but I think for most people the "8.5" of 14C (vs "10" of LC) will be rustpro...

Why do you think so resp. where is the connection between "wharnie" and "high hollow"? Okay, that was pretty pessimistic of me. I have no real data on which to base my statement from earlier. We don't see much in the way of hollow grinds in the modern Spydie lineup. So I kinda m...

I worry that the rejection of the wharncliffe design may mean the high hollow won't be successful on a larger scale as well. Time will tell, I guess, but I'm still really looking forward to this one. As an aside, the Delica has really surprised me as being the one knife I like to carry more than mos...

Wonder why brown D4/E4 are leaving? It was not my favorite but way better than purple.

Maybe brown will be used for an upcoming sprint or exclusive?

Where did you manage to find them? I really like my LW version.
