Spyderco Forums

It would be a lot of work for Spyderco (Kristi) to find, evaluate, and move every thread pertaining to sharpening and steel to its own sub-forum.

For now though the “Community Sharpening Journal” is quite active and often towards the top of page 1.

I find the relative lack of interest in the Lil Native Wharnie remarkable. I like mine a lot but do not feel the need for upgraded steel personally. I wouldn't say no though!! You’ve pretty much caught my thoughts, but while I wouldn’t say no, I do begrudge any ask that I think unnecessary. I’m jea...

While it looks cool, the RIL Tenacious seems like a knife that will miss some marks, based on 8Cr13 or D2 steel, non-deep carry clip and what I'd guess will be a over $100 price point. I don’t think the frame lock Tenacious is going to have a low end steel, there’s a whole thread about it where Sal...

I don´t know, folks. To me making an anniversary knife out of rather "fancy", expensive materials and "superclassy" "collectible"... , is just ONE approach to this. A good and understandable one of course (it is not that I would not like that idea too), but perhaps not...

The "Charisma" is made in Golden. Eric has been working on refining the design for 3 years anyway. sal It's like a Jess Horn lightweight that's running illegal jet fuel. What about teeth? This model with fangs would be out of the ballbark. The public patents for this knife were shared on ...

Subvert and KnifeJoy Lil Native

i'm confused why people are worried about this knife breaking. it's a small blade and it's only 1mm thick. this knife clearly isn't made for applying any kind of lateral force. it's made for slicing and opening your mail, not for building a cabin in the woods. I can certainly understand where the c...

The photo in the product guide is not accurate. Refer to this video, posted here by Sovereign.

These are production pieces. This is how they will all look.

That photo in the catalog is a prototype. It genuinely looks like they took one of the black scales and painted the grooves yellow to show off the concept. Notice how the edges are still black, not layered. As a result of manufacturing, the black and yellow scales will be smooth. Only the all black ...

Mr. Blonde, what is the factory for the Charisma?

The blade shows Golden, Colorado USA Earth!

This isn’t in response to anyone in particular just in general but I think some people are missing the point of a commemorative anniversary knife like this. It’s not meant to be a heavy user - they make thousands of those knives every year. It’s not supposed to be more of the same with a tiny littl...

Excited to see a new design! Just based on initial impressions, I am a big fan of the the “Charisma”design! That blade stock bakes it look like an absolute lightsaber and it’s super lightweight too. Could be a really awesome candidate for hiking and backpacking. It’s also really fun to see this thre...

Hi Nick,

I sent you an email.

sal

Got your email, thank you.

The last of the CPM-15V Spyderco Production Samples I can share is the wonderful Lil’ Native. Personally, prefer the lockback version, but I realize market majority prefers the compression lock version. It’s all good, and I can still switch the clip on this lil’ big knife for left-handed carry 😉. h...

Hi Christian_Samurai_Outlaw, Welcome to our forum and thank you for your service. Thanx Yab, for the pics. All of the future coins will be the size of the Happy Thoughts coin above. Each run of coins will reflect the date we expect them. We use up the older coins before the latest. Spyderco makes 3...

Any idea why the asterisk on 15V, anyone. Thanks, Wouter, for putting Spring in motion again. Just a guess but those blades probably aren’t actually 15V. Since they’re still prototypes, they probably used a steel like S30V and just marked them with “15V*” to denote the steel that is intended for pr...

Thanks for sharing, Wouter! The reports and photos from the Amsterdam meet are always much appreciated.

A regular production 15V Microjimbo sounds badass! Sign me up for one.

Now I’m just hoping a Lil Native gets the 15v treatment as well!

Sweet! Love the Tropen, it’s such a sleeper model.
