Spyderco Forums

I'm interested in this. I intend to buy a Stretch 2 for use as a backup knife while hunting. Blood is exceptionally corrosive, so LC200N's extra corrosion resistance would be beneficial. And I love navy blue.

A Catcherman with blaze orange FRN scales and an FFG LC200 plain edge blade would get my money.

This knife definitely has my attention, and I hope to get one eventually. It seems like a great EDC knife as well as a fisherman's companion.

Yes. I'm definitely in for one.

I've been thinking the same thing lately, so I was glad to see this thread. I like S30V. Its balanced properties allow my folders to do everything that I need them to do, and then some. I think the issue for a lot of knife enthusiasts is boredom. They are bored with plain vanilla and want to try dif...

My favorite locks are the backlock and the CBBL. However, for extended woodworking/bushcrafting tasks at camp, I only use a fixed blade. Handle comfort is one of the primary reasons why. This is one of those options that is both the right answer, and I guess just not the answer I want to hear. I fe...

1) Catcherman - orange FRN linerless, LC200N FFG PE

2) Tuff - green micarta, 4V

3) Persian - bolster/ivory micarta, M390

My favorite locks are the backlock and the CBBL. However, for extended woodworking/bushcrafting tasks at camp, I only use a fixed blade. Handle comfort is one of the primary reasons why.

As a general rule, I like larger knives to have handles with more girth. The reason is that I commonly use larger knives for heavier cutting tasks which require more force. I find that a handle with insufficient girth tends to roll and shift in my hand when used this way. A good example of this wou...

I hear you, and prior to actually using a Chap would have said the same. But then I had both a Chap FRN and a Native 5 LW at the same time. While the Native felt better and more comfortable in hand when I just held the knives, totally contrary to what I expected in actual (harder) use the Chap felt...

I would like to see Spyderco release a folder with a long blade ground from thin stock. However, I would prefer a thicker handle. The thin handle of the Chaparral is perfect for its intended application as a small EDC folder. But for a long knife, I would like a handle with a bit more girth. I hear...

I use the spine of the blade. Most of my fixed blades have squared spines for scraping. If a spine is too round, the problem is easily resolved with a sharpening stone or file. You can also use the scraper that comes with the rod, or you can use a section of hacksaw blade as a scraper. However, I pr...

I'd be interested in this. I'd like it in forest green G10 and CTS-XHP. I also like earth tones, blue, and gray.

Chaparral FRN for me.

The plan is for a sprint series. I'd like to do all of the models in the "Endura family". I'd be intrested in what additional blade configs you wight also like?

Police 4 LW, K390, fully serrated. I've been interested in trying serrated K390 since I first used the steel.

I'm hoping for more FFG serrated. Native Chief perhaps?

My top three steels for folders: 1) CTS-XHP: Good balance of traits and takes a great edge. I also find that it is relatively easy to sharpen regardless of the abrasive used. 2) H1: Truly rust proof. Amazing edge retention in serrated configuration. 3) K390: Superior performance! Sharpening is an ab...

I use a Wheeler Fat Wrench on my guns, and I really like it. Admittedly though, I've never used it on knives, so I can't comment on that.

This thread has me excited. I have several bushcraft knives that are scandi ground. I love a thin scandi grind for working wood, but I don't like it for anything else. I think of it as a specialty grind. Consequently, I'm in the market for a fixed blade that would serve as a good general purpose woo...
