I’d love to see Spyderco put out some super blue kitchen/chef knives.
A Santoku, or Gyuto, Honesuki, or Usuba, Nakiri, etc. A smaller petty knife would be awesome too.

You're in luck! The new Murray Carter collaboration series features laminated Super Blue blades in a variety of designs.

It took me a while to come around on the native. Then I really liked it. One day it just clicked. I also like the choils on the native family because I feel they lock your finger in better than the choils on other designs. For me choils are kind of hit or miss. Some designs I like them, others not....

The Native leaves me a little uninspired too. I agree, it's a fine design and a great working knife, but it's not special to me the way some other designs are. I own the Maxamet Native and like it - it's in my pocket right now as a matter of fact - but I carry it primarily for the steel.

I think I've said it somewhere else before, but when I was looking for an introductory hawkbill I did consider the Harpy. I ended up going with the byrd instead because of the cheaper cost (no regrets either), but if I were to buy another hawkbill I'd probably go for the Harpy. I like the looks of i...

I got my PE leaf blade Caribbean from New Graham too. They’ve been my favoured place to buy Spydies for a while now. Excellent service and fast shipping. I think I’ll eventually get a SE Caribbean too - probably a sheepsfoot and grind the nose down like Evil D’s one. The PE version is great though....

Exactly what Jazz said. I like watching videos of knives doing what they're intended to do. Keep them coming! :)

I voted CPM REX 45.

The steels are very similar, but the Golden heat treat is superlative.

Congrats Rick and Nick!

Here's my entry.

Happy Birthday VashHash, fellow Autonomy 2 fan!

Today I'm carrying the best knife Spyderco has made to date and my all time favorite: the Autonomy 2.

No to Super Blue. YES to all Seki models in Cruwear!

Have you ever tried Super Blue? Like Cru-Wear it sharpens like a dream (even more so than Cru-Wear in fact) and gets frighteningly sharp.

Hello Tanto, can't wait to buy one. You know the flash batches thing is kind of strange, Eric says they destroy the tooling etc... I say it is strange because one of the things Sal cites often is taking chances on models because of how expensive tooling is. Whirrrrr, Click... does not compute.........

On most holes, there is something of note. When they use a laser or a plasma cutter to cut the blade out (of a large sheet of steel) and to cut the hole out, there has to be a starting point. Usually the whole outside of the blade is finished, so you won't notice the starting point of the outside o...

Very nice Lance!

I don't know. Hard to tell from the photos.

At least you have two of them, so if you decide to have Spyderco take a look you'll still have one to carry and use. :)

Maxamet Native this morning, Autonomy 2 right now.

Hi Stanolszews,

Welcome to our forum.

H1 steel is not available Japan. I'll watch interest in a Finch with a clip. We're working with a couple of makers to see if hey can manage a Compression Lock.

Hi Conner,

Yes, imported steels.

Hi Born,

We're working on it. we'll see.

Thanks Sal!

I love being able to get a peek into your mind Shawn. :cool:
You do amazing work and I can't wait to see what you and Sal are cooking up.

Great stuff - thanks for sharing!
