+1 for a Centofante 3. Also narrower in your pocket if that is a concern. Cento is the knife I take to BBQs, someone always asks for a knife. Caly 3 vs Delica - I can't pick up any subjective difference in slicing / food prep performance. The big daddy slicer in my mind is still the large Lum Chines...

We've already produced a green Jester. In order to make a new sprint, it would have to change from previous models (so as not to hurt the value of previous models). You can agree on a color that we've not used before, agree on an edge config or both and we'll do a run. sal No chance of the Jester c...

ZDP 189 Centofante 3 without the bug in the handle. S with a solid blade and handle - not fussy, pick a steel and handle material Spyderco made Mini Dejavoo - that's a bit rude but it would be really nice. That should have been a Spydie rather than a BM. +1 on Ted's C-19 - Ti would be great, just a ...

Whilst I haven't been to Uganda, I've been to Ghana, Kenya and Zambia in the last 6 months. The most likely place that your luggage is going to get broken into is in Johannesburg (presumably you are routing through South Africa). Doing the plastic wrap thing will probably dissuade most of the thieve...

That's a large Sebenza in post 4 ... but I'm not sure it is a real one. I'm not an expert by any means but the clip and screws look wrong and the scale doesn't have that funny detail at the screw closest to the pivot. But I am getting side tracked : Dragonfly, Strider PT, Caly 3, Chaparral, Small Se...

+1 for a Pacific Salt or Endura If you wanted to toss more cash at the problem - Starmate. Someone is going to pry with the tip, it's just a matter of time. Based on my own military experience, whilst something like an Endura, Starmate, Milllie, Manix would be nice to have a SAK or a multitool (didn...

Just a few more observations after having the Double Bevel in my pocket for the weekend : Cutting Stuff : Out the box it cut some of the mandatory copier paper. Not as clean as my own edges but acceptable out of the box. When I got home a scratched around in the yard for a few bits of wood and did t...

It is definitely worth a look at. I got mine yesterday and am carrying it this weekend. Once I've cut more stuff with it I will post more details on MatthewSB's thread http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?62803-Double-Bevel-Review In the meantime, as a collectors item, definitely. As a dail...

I have just taken mine out of the box and a few initial impressions. The fit and finish is top class. I suspect that it is made by Moki (the shape of the "Y" in Spyderco, the absence of "Seki City" and the phillips head screws on the pocket clip). It has none of the Starmate issu...

I just got the bottle opener version included in a box with some other Spyderco goodness. Two quick comments - this is probably the only size knife that I need a lanyard hole on - so I can attach it to my key chain. Adding a pocket clip pushed the lanyard hole forward. The position is not as good, i...

As I said in glbpro's thread but with a bit more detail 1. Large Lum Chinese : This thing is a slicer! Great ergos (slightly thicker G10 would be better though) and a really nice size for weekend / kitchen use. Not so good with a suit :) . It's big but it is such a pleasure to use. I was picking up ...

1. Hungarian - love everything about this knife except the fact that the lock is difficult to disengage. I understand the design logic of why there isn't a cut out in the opposite scale (even a small one) but I think the design aesthetic took preference over the functionality and that really is a sh...

I'm in for two as soon as my favorite retailer gets them in stock ...this will, I think, become a classic. Maybe not a best seller but a classic Spyderco design.

I'd have preferred they kept the name Yachtsman but Tusk works.

I'm in but only with a solid blade and scales. I have both versions of the original - if you use it you spend a while cleaning all the gunk out with dental floss .... Also with a skeletonized blade, the MIM casting would limit the steel options as indicated already. With a Dragonfly, Walker and a Ch...

My USN Catcherman may have done this better .... we need an un coated, plain edge Catcherman sprint!!!

Living on an island I eat a fair amount of fish (raw and various degrees of cooked), often from fairly dodgy looking street vendors - no problem so far. George Carlin needs quoting here : "Whats the point of an immune system if you don't give it practice" .... or something like that. There...

My second Spyderco was a AUS8 PE Endura, still have it and occasionally use it 20 years later. Even though I have a lot of knives (and a lot more expensive knives) there is still an Endura in my kitchen drawer, one with my camping gear, a Pacific Salt (admittedly a step brother) on my diving rig and...

I'm wondering what the chances are of the Centofante 3 changing to screwed construction are. I have no problem at all with the pinned construction at all, I just want to upgrade the scales - I'll admit not a compelling reason for Spyderco to change the construction at all. It is a fantastic knife bu...
