Spyderco Forums

The Navy Seals I personally know are fond of the Automatic Microtech knives. The ones that pop out of the handle and then pop back in. I showed one of them my Spyderco Paramilitary 2 and he said oh yeah take a look at this. Yes I do know actual real life seals not wanna be pretenders. I know a lot ...

I have so many knives, I have no idea why. Addictive personality, most likely.


I am going to try to sell some this fall...

Deep in an under ground bunker and way to paranoid to give location.

I am most likely out because of the orange scales. Just not my thing.

Probably an obvious statement black rit dye would be an option if you feel like getting crafty with this beaut.

Not much of a crafter either. :)

I think it looks very interesting. I am most likely out because of the orange scales. Just not my thing.

Nice photo Archimedes. My wife and I spent our honeymoon on the northern California coast, up near Trinidad. Beautiful country up there!

It is amazing country. I hope to move up here in the future.

Here is a picture of the same area in spring when the Seals are on the beach.

Wonderful, beautiful, excellent! Thank you! This is now one of my all-time favorite knife pictures. Do I have your permission to share this picture with others to get them interested in the Spyderco Caribbean? Also, why do you think the sign warns people to keep pets on leash? Is it for the protect...

This is a home run by Spyderco. Beautiful day on the Sonoma county coast of California. Figured I would share a picture.

The Manix LW S110V is one of my favorite all time knives. I had reservations about it when I got it. But it has proven incredibly strong. I love it because it barely registers in the pocket but when you use it has to be one of the best cutting tools ever with S110V. If you are looking for a real wor...

My daughter and her boyfriend are both Marine Biologists. I gave them both Caspian Salts for diving. They both reported that it is the best dive knife they have ever used. The dive often in Monterey Bay and along the North coast of California.

Manix Lightweight in S110V. Such an amazing performer and so light. Carry it all summer and barely know it's clipped to your shorts. I use this one a lot. Para 2 brown G10 S35VN. Carry this one a lot. Really bonded with it. Pacific Salt. I have not been carrying one much lately but historically one ...

I don't consider anything under $500 high end. Sometimes also +$500 things are not high end but only a bunch of crap. G.Sakai is selling the Ultimate Hunter, a not so big fixed blade made in collaboration with Kitano Katsumi. It consists of 67 hrc Zdp189 Katakiriba asymmetrical edge blade, with mir...

It is ironic that one other thread going on here now is complaining about the quality of Spyderco's high end folders and then this thread saying they are selling for more than retail on the secondary market.

Folks you can't make this stuff up if you tried.

See, I am a simple guy and what it costs to live is relative to what things cost to buy for me. If my truck takes a 100 dollars in gas then a 100 dollar knife is not that much money relative to cost the of living. So yeah. There is that. I think a 175 dollar knife is budget friendly. Just my opinio...

What you are saying is on the 0562 the lockbar stabilizer is cosmetic? Why? Because the Hinderer lock bar stabilizer is an over travel stop. On the 0562 the hardened lock bar face also serves as an over travel stop, and it stops lock bar travel before the Hinderer stabilizer disk takes effect. Henc...

Was the Hinderer over travel stop disk a solution to a problem that never existed? That could be debated for days. Spyderco did integrate the over travel stop internally on their RILs that have the hardened steel lock bar face, and continues to do so. Spyderco also leaves their plain Ti RILs withou...

I don't consider anything under $500 high end. Well, this is the Spyderco forum, and the Spyderco specific discussion section. The upcoming Paysan is the only Spyderco that's over $500 MAP. So, in the context of Spyderco knives, I'd say that I'm justified in describing $175+ models as high end. I w...

Sal, ZT has shown that they can do a solid CF handle, a longer & thicker blade in 204P with a more complex grind, add in the cosmetic Hinder over-travel stop disk (the hardened steel lock face already handles over-travel), make the knife in Tualitin, Oregon, and ship internal parts for free, al...
