Re: Any word on the blue G10 Delica?

I love my Delica and I'd definitely buy more premium versions of it (not ridiculously priced of course) but burnt orange? Come on. I can't carry that around like a beacon screaming "hey everybody, look at my pocket. I've got a knife!". S35/S110/whatever in classy black, grey, or dark blue ...

Re: Would you like to see the Dragonfly 2 offered in all the current colors the Delica 4 and Endura 4 are offered in?

So where would you start in changing the DF2 that doesn't make it a Robin? I'd lower the profit margin. OK sure, it's not unheard of for companies to lower margins to drive sales. But what motivation would Spyderco have for doing so with the Dragonfly? If driving sales is not motivating for Spyderc...

Re: Dyad rip-off by Schrade

The Spydie-hole is a nice design feature but come on... There are only so many ways that one can open a knife. Opening a knife with the thumb is natural and there are only 2 ways to do it: a depression and/or an extrusion. If you go with a depression, you're not going to make it a square or a triang...

Re: Native 5 Maxamet is out also!

Last night I purchased the N5 Maxamet. I've never even seen an N5 in person, let alone tested how it feels in my hand. I've only read posts here and watched online reviews. I promised myself that I would not purchase another knife until my Delica 4 is retired, and yet... I've gone and purchased anot...

It did an OK job cutting up my schnitzel today but I found it seriously lacking when trying to cut some cheddar cheese yesterday.
