Spyderco Forums

I am not crazy about that blade/edge shape. UKPK is superior in that department and so is the Urban. I wouldn’t pay that amount of money just for the fancy design but… to each his own. As much as I was hyped to see this discontinued model reappear again, even with an upgrade, same here. But it stil...

It used to be about 70-80%, now it is more like 30% max.

I actually have no clue about grippy enough or not... No hard work done with mine for now. So I guess grippy enough. Still, I want to order some RGT micarta scales for it... Then always hesitate when I see the shipping costs and think about the taxes lol. As others have mentioned, it also carries ve...

@GSG9 I fear you are pretty spot on and you are probably checking the same shops as me.

Yeah, I know it has not been discontinued yet... So as I said, I'd like to get another one... And I would love to get another version... Oh well... Time will tell... BTW I like the compression lock and I actually dislike drop shut blades. Maybe because growing up in Germany slip joints were all we w...

The lack of interest and replies makes me a sad panda...
But then again I guess that kind of reflects the situation of the Kapara... Guess I will have to get an s30v version if it becomes available again and get some rgt scales.

Well, with the Kapara being my favourite Spyderco knife (even beats my beloved delica) I am curious whether there are any news about new versions / runs? Lil Kapara and Kapara Slippy are supposed to be somewhere in the future (I'd love a Magnacut slipjoint Kapara)... Any news on new variants / sprin...

I even had the M390 version which I now regret selling. The reason was that it is so easy get caught on the rear end of the blade and the handles not being comfortable when doing some real cutting. But as others have said it is a joy to play around with and for light stuff it handles well enough. I...

I have been wanting to buy a yellow serrated one over in in Europe for over half a year. No luck. Maybe I checked the wrong vendors. I hope this will improve now with the green version and they were just phasing out the yellow.

Okay let's put the cards on the table, how do you compare this knife to the lionsteel thrill titanium. Materials, machining, quality... And then compare prices.

As much as I would live to get one (one hand opening locking knives are illegal to carry after all here in Germany, not that I care much...), but 400$? The same Italian factories offer slip joints in fully sculpted titanium and M390 for far less. Sure no spyderhole, but okay. Plus that price will mo...

I notice that the M390 Native Chief sprint is only available “consumer direct” from Spyderco. Is this a new distribution model for sprint runs? Didn't even notice that because I was browsing on the mobile... If that is the case I won't be getting it and it is about as unobtanium as a bladeHQ tanto....

Subway Bowie, enuff 2 and especially the pits as a legal to carry if I can get my hand on one. Sadly I'll have to reserve judgement in these until they are actually delivered, given Spyderco recent track record.

Oh nice, CT has it? They didn't last time I checked, thanks! Saw two more with coming soon around 350€.
As for better... That is kind of subjective... But I can get a lionsteel slipjoint with the same steel for less.

First one I just saw at a European dealer clock's in at 390€ which is about 406$
That is a solid no.

my 2 favorites have been k390 and its stainless m390.

This covers it for me as well.

This and the Kapara slippy are the only models I care about right now, sort of disillusioned with the current model/sprint/ limited setup. Can't even get a standard Kapara in stock right now. Expectations will get you every time. To be clear, it doesn’t help that we’re invited to have expectations,...

I can totally relate, though I would like to add: it is a matter of perspective... Does it matter on my 120€ work delica... Not that much, it is not nice but there are more important things that could be wrong. Does it matter on my special release super duper edition 200+ knife? Heck you can bet it ...
