Spyderco Forums

Man this thread is getting me pumped. I was planning on going to the SFO tomorrow or Monday to pick one up.

Thanks guys. I will be working in Alexandria so I'm expecting a pretty long commute. Looking for a more family oriented area, but **** that whole area is expensive.

Yeah, I'm really not looking forward to leaving Colorado to move back east.

I will be moving to Staford Virginia in a few months for work. I've never been to Staford and was wondering if anyone here knows much about the area with regards to places to stay away from when looking for places to live, etc, etc.

For me it would be the Spyderfly.

That is awesome!

Very exciting to hear Phil. Your reputation for outstanding heat treating will no doubt get the most out of this steel combination. I'd love to hear how your testing progresses.

The Sage4 comes to mind. Built tough, good steel, looks classy, and is a good all around working knife. If ease of cleaning is more important, then you can NEVER go wrong with a Para2 (If you can find one).

I'd say it's the best Spyderco even made. Also: Aberdeen Proving Ground, , , now that brings back memories.

I used to not mind him as much as some, and generally like his knife reviews; but recently, his posts are getting way too political for me. I want to watch his videos for equipment reviews, , , I was ok with his wordy (often self ingratiating) style, but I'm not going to watch him wax-poetic over hi...

Cts204p and m390 ( basically the same ) resist chipping very well, they are high wear and stainless CTS204p has quickly become my favorite steel for folders. I hear it isn't as tough as some other 'super steels,' but for a medium sized folder I love it. Takes a exceedingly nice edge, and holds it r...

Domino, but I think that will be exceedingly difficult to find for a long time. And, frankly, I'd be surprised if we see it in 2013. I'd like an Endura in Super-Blue. Also, I'm very anxious to learn what Para2s will be out this year as I'd almost certainly buy any handle/steel combo that comes out.

First Spyderco: Original Manix
Latest Spyderco: Caly 3 in Super-Blue

Discovering that what really sets Spyderco apart from the rest is the way they do business.

Now that is a must have knife. Thanks for sharing.

I work really close to the SFO (5 Min Drive) so I'm spoiled. Spoiled in the fact that I get to handle every knife I buy. There have been several occasions when I went there intending to buy one knife and ended up with another because the one I initially wanted just didn't seem to work for me, or vic...

I've never had any real problems with BD1. Like others have said, it doesn't keep an edge as well as other steels might, but it takes an edge very easily and has a nice polish to boot. The lightweight handle is great, and this is made all the better by a wire clip. It's plenty strong for most tasks ...

Awesome pics. Motivates me to take some shots on my treks.

Oh I got an S90v PM2, , ,I'd just want to see it again in SM-100. That would be awesome.

CF handle Para2 or Manix2 with an SM-100 blade.

I've thought about this often too. I pretty much carry a different knife every day, so pocket time isn't a good barometer for me. I'd say the things I factor in are the following, , in no particular order: Ergos: (it has to feel good and secure in hand) Overall Size: (I tend to gravitate to a little...
