Re: Snap-it Salt not loved?

that's a cool picture, but it looks completely impractical. i can't even stand a lanyard on most of my knives because they just get in the way. it would be much worse having something by the blade while i'm trying to cut stuff. Yeah, that's more of a carry setup that I find extremely convenient, ne...

Re: Spyderco Military 4V DLC St. Nick's Exclusive

Haven't been so smitten with a Spyderco since getting the Kapara back in 2019 (I think?), extremely happy for pulling the trigger on what might be the last 'real' Millie

Re: Spyderco Military 4V DLC St. Nick's Exclusive

Similar size, but not at all similar. Native Chief carries amazingly well for it's size. The Military, you know you're carrying it. The frame-lock Millie has a bit more weight to it and it might contribute to that feeling, in my experience carrying the S90V versions (second and last one from the to...

Re: What you don't like about spyderco knives?

I absolutely loved the way Spyderco took risks on designs 10-15 years back. Remote release. Bi-fold. T-Mag. Lava. Shabaria. Kriss. Junior. Rescue/reverse hawkbill Swick (I still have a photo of that one saved). The list goes on. Yes, some were flops. Yet I believe some were actively contributing to ...

Re: Long Timers: How has this forum changed?

I can echo pretty much everything that has already been said. I've joined back in 2007, but have been reading the forums since 2005. I remember a lot of discussions about the (then) Spyderco-Benchmade feud. A lot of topics were focused on ergonomics, with designers like Chad los Banos and Alex Diaco...

Re: Spyderco Military 4V DLC St. Nick's Exclusive

Got my confirmation at :01 ;)
Looking forward to this, I haven't bought any new Spydercos since 2019 and have zero interest in their current line-up, but this one should be really good

Re: Spear Point Atlantic Salt

Nice job and an uncanny resemblance to the Caspian Salt profile (at least to my eyes). I do love the Atlantic handle as is (no liners or washers, barrel bolt clip) despite coming to absolutely hate Spyderco's ubiquitous choil, it has fantastic ergonomics and great floatability. Here's my Atlantic, i...

Re: Spydercard LW Salt

I'd buy this in a hearbeat (as opposed to basically the rest of Spyderco's current line-up). Any of the Salt steels indeed, **** I'd even be happy with something like 440C (at some point in time I used to regularly carry my bi-fold clipped inside wallet, and getting soaking wet in a quick summer rai...

Re: So what is the reason for no Combo edges in the salt lineup?

I still say this is the combo edge we all need, whether you realize it or not :winking-tongue https://live.staticflickr.com/887/39359510240_13bc74c3cb_z.jpg PE at the heel where hard carving cuts happen, SE in the middle where material would normally slip off the blade, and a bit of PE at the tip f...

Re: Have you found "the one?"

Military. THE one. I'm extremely grateful for being able to get a bunch of them before Spyderco decided they need 'improving'. Pacific Salt, especially modded to a pointier tip. THE one for summertime IWB carry. Kapara, Watu, Ikuchi (they each were some kind of 'one' that I really really needed to h...
