Spyderco Forums

Should be putting these cool shots in the Photo Contest thread!



Carrying a Jess Horn and a Chokwe.

I'd agree, placement for the screw holes is not ideal.
It's like they just anticipated that lanyard placement would trump clip location for most users. But I don't use a lanyard on this knife.

Let's get some shots posted up in here! :D

For those who are still waiting for their Caly from KC, I talked to them today and have good news. They reassured me that they are working through their preorder list, but it's slow because Spyderco had been sending them shipments of less than 10 Calys at a time. Weird... I was also told that they ...

Yep, I think this is key to ideal usage for this knife.

Wow, that's wild. It looks like a heat cycled exhaust header, haha

For this discounted price it's a fantastic bargain for the materials and construction. But, some ergonomic quirks seem to be compromises. Compromises I'm not used to on my regular in-house designed Spyderco models that make little to no compromises for ergos. Just my perspective anyway. Pointed fing...

It carries nicely in a suit if that helps. Ideal gents folder. What do you think of the flipping action? Flippers aren't my favorite. I'm carrying one right now that just drives me up the wall. I just got my CF Positron today so I'll jump in. The flipping action I find to be perfect. I also found t...

The Positron handle creates a gnarly hotspot in my palm at the back corner behind the clip hole. And that partly makes me unconsciously want to slide up into a choil like I'm grabbing onto a different knife, but then catch myself since it's non-existent... I'll probably gift this one to someone with...

Wife works at REI. Went to buy something the other day. At the register, she mentioned to her coworkers that I like knives. I pulled out my Military for little show and tell. Next thing you hear is click, click, click. I *it you not, three guys pulled out their Spydercos. Then someone said, 'hey Ga...

^ Thanks abbazaba! You always post some slick ultra focused shots, so glad you picked mine! Congrats to you, too, Liquid! By the way, your other photo pushed me over the edge and inspired me to go ahead and just get myself a Shaman, haha, but I went SE - seemed fitting for this knife design, and als...

^ Tip-top trio there!


Here's some more shots to add to a good thread. :)

I am very happy with the end result. I have a few more small tweaks in mind if I get some time to play with it. Thanks to everyone for some of the ideas and most of all thank you Paul for a great knife!!

You a cyclist, also? :)

It seems to me the "LW" designation is a more recent thing appearing when the Golden models starting coming in FRCP variations. I don't recall seeing a Salt in FRN ever being designated or advertised as the Salt LW. Regardless if it was actually physically Light Weight or not. Maybe just i...

I don't know why that made me laugh. :D

This thread keeps popping into my mind occasionally...

Any news on a Spydie Proto? :)

The CBBL is by far the most ergonomic lock Spyderco has. I rarely use the thumb hole on my Manix 2, I just pull back on the lock and swing it open. Pull back and another swing to close. No other lock integrates with deployment like this that I’m aware of. And even if you’re not swing it closed it’s...

Not sure if serious?

I wasn't gonna take the bait... although I figure someone had to go to that view at some point.

Pretty neat swap. :spyder:
