Re: Sprint Run: Spyderco Cellulose Model Coming Soon!

Which factory did this? That’s the sloppiest grind I’ve seen. No thanks, I’ll leave it to the flippers.

And is they tip broken ALREADY? Typical

Budget on Bronze

Hi all! We’re all witnessing budget knives get better in a variety of ways, driven by a variety of companies providing surprisingly good design, fit and finish, steel (both in composition and heat treat), and action. Unfortunately, I have a strong dislike of bearing pivots and it seems that’s the ro...

Re: Appreciation for Spyderco family and request for a little bit of self reflection

I don’t see how most of OP’s examples are childish at all, and I think the post misses the key point that our ideas fuel a lot of positive discussion and provide free market research for Spyderco when it comes to what would or wouldn’t sell. That in and of itself is a contribution. When people are l...

Re: Non-Stainless Blade Models From Spyderco

My para 3 in k390 is one of my favorite knives, and I believe it’s still available at Bento Box Shop. I also hear good things about the Seki City models in k390. It’s an incredible steel.

Re: Steels and their Purpose

But to be more specific, here are my three favorites: K390 for terrorizing absurd amounts of cardboard (and tbh any other reasonable thing) without dulling or showing edge damage, and then stropping right back to shaving sharp. Rex 45 for when your dog’s hungry and you can’t find a can opener (do no...

Re: Crazy ordeal buying a spyderco from a YouTube celebrity

I've seen some of the Slicey ones on Google search, but how about the Steve one? Supersteel Steve. Very worthwhile and entertaining educational channel. I have a lot of philosophi...

Re: Crazy ordeal buying a spyderco from a YouTube celebrity

The right thing for him to do here would obviously be to deliver the Chap you agreed to purchase or at least refund the money if he can’t deliver on his promise. There’s no question about that. However, there’s another way to look at this, that’s more similar to a bankruptcy. I have a feeling this ...

Re: Crazy ordeal buying a spyderco from a YouTube celebrity

An s35vn tenacious? Apologies to those that like the tenacious but that’s nowhere near the type of knife of an xhp chap. That’s like ordering a Lexus LS and receiving a used Toyota tercel. Personally I wouldn’t be ok with that resolution and I would insist on a refund. I imagine he got the tenaciou...

Re: Crazy ordeal buying a spyderco from a YouTube celebrity

I'm wondering, why buy from the guy in the first place? Was it a custom, or a great deal on a used one? I'd trust one of the many reputable online retailers over a YouTube person every day of the week. I’ve bought knives from youtubers on a couple occasions (actually including him once, I think). T...

Re: What's your "dream" spyderco? What combo of design/materials would you love to see?

I’d definitely be interested in a lil manix. Proficient in MagnaCut. PM2 in K390. Just making sure, you know that pm2 exists right? Yeah, but only in the BBS run. Did not get one of those. But I'd love to see another run, maybe in a different color (I like blue). I mean, since we're making wishes a...

Re: Crazy ordeal buying a spyderco from a YouTube celebrity

I hope you can square things up with him. Everybody makes mistakes. If he owns up to it and makes things right then great. I believe in forgiveness. Agreed. I’m real big on forgiveness and I think that sentiment has been missing in the general discussion around this debacle. As you said, contingent...
