Re: What were the biggest changes to your EDC habits in 2018?
2018 was the year of spyderco. I got a couple new ones, an endura and para 3. I was about 50/50 carrying ZT/spyderco a few years ago and my ZT's have been collecting dust last year. Don't know what 2019 will bring, hopefully an Amalgam and Smock....

Re: Smock Flipper
I read somewhere in this forum that it was hopefully the end of the year. Don't remember where I saw that.

Re: Is the Smock still coming in 2018?
Good to know the time frame, now I don't have to decide between that and the amalgam. I'll get both :)

Re: Friendly Challenge to fellow Spyderco Users: I say Endura and Delica 4 = Best and "Peak" Spyderco Model. What say y
I think the Delica/Endura have a more timeless design and a broader appeal. With the back lock they appeal to a broad segment of the population then you factor in the fit/finish and price point and for most people that is as high end of a knife as they want to get. For most basic knife users who are...

Re: Cutlery Shoppe Para 3 exclusives
I usually don't like smaller knives as much but I have been waiting for the orange and black combo since I missed the PM2. I usually carry a Delica around the house in gym shorts or sweats because it is so small, this might be replacing that. We'll see.

Re: DLC coat cleaning
I wipe mine off with oily rags that I use to clean my guns, old t-shirt and gun oil does the trick for me.

I prefer non coated blades normally, but I am 100% in for the DLC coated one. That is sharp looking

Re: Sal asks you to design a Spyderco.
Seax knife, take a Military or Manix XL sized knife and make a Viking worthy folder. I'm not artsy but I'm sure someone could design something cool around that.

Re: Para 3 versus Police 4
Nice Pic, i had to cut an apple up at the MN state fair this year and used my PM2, it did the job but was just 1/2 inch or so too short. I've never had someone have any type of reaction when I pulled out my knife to cut something. At least around here there is enough of a knife culture that people d...

Re: Wharncliffe Endura
Looking forward to this as well, I haven't bit on the delica yet because I like bigger knives. I would like something in a Sprint color or steel. Zome with upgraded anything somewhat stainless.

Re: Para 3 versus Police 4
I don't own either but I have handled several Police models over the years. I like looking for sprints or exclusives for models I don't own. I am eyeing the Para 3 upcoming from cutlery shoppe, anyone know if there is anything in the works for the police model? I really like the police and the milit...

Re: Cutlery Shoppe Para 3 exclusives
I was hoping for a halloween pumpkin picture with these ones, perhaps we can hold out hope for Thanksgiving. Facebook comments say "soon" anyone who's shopped with them before know how long it usually takes from previewing it to having it go up for sale?

Re: Let's get hyped for the Amalgam!
I've been checking everyday for this, the smock, and the cutlery shoppe exclusives. If this one drops first the others will have to wait.

Re: Is it Time for a New Camo Pattern?
I always like camo, the camo blades that ZT and some strider knives have done are very cool looking. I also like anything Tiger Stripe. The new digital camo has never really appealed to me on a uniform, but I do like it on spyderco handles. I still like the 80's woodland and desert storm style stuff...

Re: Spyderco Sprints: Are they a valuable investment or not ?
I wouldn't buy a knife for the purposes of an investment. Now if you have to sell some down the road or downsize your collection sure, some of them could probably get a small return on or get most of your money back. If you want to invest I would I would put the extra 200$ in your 401k. Plus I don't...

Re: Are you cheating on the bug?
For EDC I'm 90% spyderco. Endura/PM 2 is usually my go to. Sometimes I will swap in a ZT if I am in the mood. Delica is my gym shorts/around the house carry knife Matriarch and a small multitool if I'm not carrying my gun for some reason, usually that reason is craft beers... I use a ZT 0301 blem th...
