I’ve tried to find a reasonably sized float with enough buoyancy to support the weight of a Salt but everything I found was either too big, to the point where it was more obtrusive than convenient, or just not buoyant enough to float the knife in general. I just trust the pocket clip and accept the ...

The Delica 4.

Although the Paramilitary 2 might also meet the OPs criteria.

If this ever actually happened the price out in the collectors’ market would be through the roof.

I agree! I would love to find a blemish of this magnitude for the collection.

It’s important to discern opinions from objective truths when watching those “expert” knife review videos. If any of the so called “experts” are explicitly stating “liner locks are bad because it puts your finger in the path of the blade” that would be a good example of both in one statement and how...

@weeping minora Sorry, I couldn’t resist!

@JSumm When I first heard that the Shaman could be front flipped I had to check and try it for myself. Well I can confirm that it is in fact able to be front flipped.

Just got this brand new Shaman and it’s missing the Spydiehole!

Do they all come like this now or should I just return this for a new one?

The Lil Native is a great choice! Those are three fantastic options to choose from as well. It’s a tough call. My favorite of that bunch is the Knifejoy 20CV version but I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them even if you’re leaning more towards one of the other two. If you’re looking to b...

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!!! :party-face Unfortunately though, it’s just easier for people on here to tell Spyderco to invest resources into creating the knife they want opposed to them making a personal investment to get what they want. I don’t want to call it selfishness, because I know wh...

I don’t see a problem with people recommending a design they would like to see spyderco produce. It shouldn’t matter if it could be achieved by custom work. A lot of people aren’t going to do that. I agree with nicks point about it feeling like a pretty redundant design to be financially viable.. B...

I got one from KSF as well.

I don't even go fishing, but I'm curious to try the model out.

There’s always time to start!

For me it’s probably the Techno or Techno 2. Tough call. If we’re talking about non-Spyderco Slysz designs though, I’m quite fond of a lot of his most recent work. For example, the “Mini Draken” folder! https://i.imgur.com/PPbJGDP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/TEYoG6e.jpg I also really like his “ANU Flipp...

All we have to do to prove my point about redundancy is take a look at all the wharncliffes on last years discontinued list. You're conflating blade shape with blade and overall length. The wharnies were discontinued across all sizes of the Seki back locks. The Endela, the half-inch increment of th...

Thanks Sal, I appreciate the insight. I don’t mean to impose but if I may ask - at Spyderco, is lock choice for a new model primarily the designers decision or is that decision influenced and made after an R&D process? Maybe it’s a unique process each time or decided another way all together bu...
