Topic: Should I keep Spyderco boxes?
Replies: 46
Views: 5128

I've kept all of mine so far, but I'm tempted to ditch the South Fork box. The SF box is HUGE!!!, even compared to even the Mule box, and I'll never sell it anyway... I like having them in general for storage and it can't hurt if I ever do want/need to let some go down the line. I try to rotate and ...

So... Looks like I'm going to be using my GB a bit more and ordering a Manix 2 in the near future. I completely agree with the f&f being better on the GB. I also own a Sage 1 and the GB is on par with the Sage 1 in terms of f&f. I would love to revisit this topic after using these knives fo...

Yes, counterfiet orange "s30v" Militaries are being produced and sold as the sprint. I tried to warn people about them a while ago and then a few weeks later someone bought one off Ebay and posted about it on bladeforums. Fake Para's & Southards are also being sold in several colors no...

I don't know if any of this is 100% certain, but here goes...

1. Peel-ply
2. Regular production, but perhaps limited quantities like the fluted ti models
3. Was originally slated for last fall, so hopefully soon. It is probably a good sign the regular g10 Natives are hitting the shelves again.

Stretch vs. Mule?

Thought this was interesting, perhaps it's been discussed before, but I didn't find anything about it... When I first unboxed my Stretch, it immediately felt familiar, like "I've held this knife before..." It took me a couple of days, but I figured out why: Who's hiding under there? http:/...

You definitely need a new blade to help soothe the pain of old age, lol :)

I will 2nd the Chaparral. The carbon fiber Chap can be had for under $100. The new ones are XHP, but I imagine a lot of dealers still have s30v in stock as well. Good to be aware of in case you have a preference...

Xceptnl,

In your pic, the XHP sprint looks 100% gray. Is that just a trick of the light? I assume it is the same foliage green that Cameron posted?

Wonder if/when/what the next Manix sprint will be.

That PM2 is an epic find! I'm not sure if I would have resisted... :) My best impulse buy was this Koster MUCK a few years ago. Its a 6 inch camp knife in CPM-3V (photos from Koster's site): Those are great pics! I really like Koster's designs, but don't have any. I'm a sucker for those micarta sca...

Thanks Ed! Any doubts I had about Willey Knives were put to rest when they called me this morning. Geri was super friendly, I will definitely visit the store next time we head out to Rehoboth Beach.

Thanks guys. You pretty much echoed my reasoning. I haven't ever sold a knife, but if I needed to, it's hard to imagine losing anything on this one...

I wasn't going to mention names, but I found mine at Willey Knives. They looked legit, so I went for it.
**edit, now listed out of stock there.**

Worst (best?) impulse buy yet...

So, I was wandering around the interwebs last night, actually comparing prices on the remaining Calypso sprints out there, and I came across a listing for the limited edition Para2 in s90v/154cm!!! :eek: Naturally, I have no business buying this thing, but it was actually listed at 20% off msrp and ...

Good call David! I remembered this thread just a couple of days ago and thought about bumping it, but then got distracted and let it go.
