Spyderco Forums

Hi Mike! I'm Mike! Hahaha. I appreciate the introduction! Pretty new to Spyderco stuff, got a Sage 1 in Maxamet® (don't sue me cartech! Ha) a while ago and turned me onto you guys. I'll say that I like your heat treatments and appreciate how you guys actually will experiment with very uncommon allo...

I've been away for a while ...did they sell out already?

No release as-of-yet. Still somewhere in the pipeline? Perhaps sal can confirm or deny?

Good work and much thanx for your efforts, Ken. I noticed and reported that T15 holds its front-end sharpness exceptionally well; better than any other steel of its caliber that I have experience with. 15V is up there (at least with Shawn's HT), though I don't have as much experience-to-date. T15 be...

Hi Weeping Minora, That's why we didn't invest in the steel when it was requested earlier. We can make any steel that you want to test, taste, try, but there has to be enough of you to help us pay the bill. I think that the Mule Team afi's are thinking in terms of, will this be a steel I'd want to ...

I’m just not a fan of companies covering user error under warranty. In my life, fishing gear has taken the biggest hit. We’ve seen the prices of decent fly rods and bass rods skyrocket in recent years because companies have started implementing these extravagant warranties in order to compete with ...

if they do a run of the Resilience I'm in. this looks pretty nice for those that like the mid size version! This! I am definitely interested in one of those! Unfortunately (for us), the "big bois" (larger models) don't seem to get much love. I'll play thirds and share my interest in a Res...

Shameless bump...

Has the interest already waned?

When a Presidents spends $4 Trillion in less than two years it causes terrible inflation. And first year business major who has taken economics knows that. Again, the cost of quality knives has dropped dramatically over the last decade while the cost of Spyderco has only increased. Inflation is a c...

.... as you can see, i gravitate more toward stainless and salt steels. i prefer maintenance free steels over steels i have to worry about rusting. i do want to try it though. it seems like k390 patinas instead of just rusting. I am not a fan of most knife vids at all, but this one I liked and it c...

A thumbnail or feeling it with your fingers has too many variables I think the who is as much of a variable as the method in experiencing this phenomenon/characteristic. As a former meat cutter/butcher and home cook and having an intimate relationship with sharp knives, I absolutely can feel a loss...

I sent off a short email to support@dackoutdoors.com asking about my order. I'll let you know what they say. The bold and highlighted text above is an either/or scenario. Either on-hand or via supplier. It's not a guarantee that merch is on-site and ready to ship. That's exactly what I got out of i...

First hardness numbers I've seen from Brian Kim at Transparent Knives:
Manix 2 Salt: 62.8 HRC
Native 5 Salt: 62.5 HRC

Link shows an error for me, but I appreciate the share! Thank you.

Another set of Sharp Dressed Knives scales reporting in, these are copper marbled CF. The clip is a Lynch left-handed Para 3 clip, which I think works great for the Military 2, gets rid of that bit of hump that sticks out using their standard PM2 clip. This is definitely one of the nicest custom Sp...

Dack doesn’t have inventory, they’re a drop shipper. Article 22. "In Stock Definition" within their own Terms & Conditions states the contrary: "In Stock Definition When an item shows as ‘In Stock’ on our website, it means that there is a quantity of at least one item available i...

Good looking scales!

Will these be available through your site..?

Just sent a follow-up email to Dack because the website shows the Stretch 2XL Salt SE back in stock. Conveniently, two days after they wanted to cancel my order due to "an inventory discrepancy." Not accusing Dack of anything, not at this point anyway, but we'll have to see how they respo...

We're on the 4th page of this thread and still no photo of the knife? That's just wrong.

It looks like a ... Sage Lightweight ?

Isn't this supposed to be a new model??

What is that? Isn't k390 the "high performance delica?" High Hollow Grind Delica in VG-10. It has been much discussed and narrowed down to that combo. Here's the excitement/evolutionary thread: https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?t=89435 It all started when I saw a post from Evil D t...

Welp, this one came too soon. Have to sit this one out, though I'm looking forward to usage reports.

The worst part about linerlocks for me are their (lack of) ergonomics. With the lock cut-out, the "hollow" provides a lack of confidence in grippage, for me. Contrarily, I've never had a problem with the compression lock, whilst I read/hear that it has been an issue for some. Never was muc...
