Re: Did then Endura always have this?

I was not a fan of the hump shaped of the Endura (and Delica) 4 tip. When they first came out, I did not like it and wished for a return to the "splinter picker" tips of the previous models. However, I changed my tune on the humped tip when the FFG models came out. I still don't like the h...

Re: Casual Sage 5 Lightweight reveal

Man, I'm loving all the FRN models we're seeing/anticipating lately. Me too. So am I. Spyderco has gone through a knife renaissance. Also, did you look at the screen shot of the knife that shows the blade thickness. Isn't that a nice and beefy blade for cutting chores? Most definitely. I pre-ordere...

Is there steel on both sides of the pivot inlaid into the scales and does it have washers?

Re: Warehouse knife

Pacific Salt SE would be my choice in that environment. Salt 2 SE if you're worried the size of the Pacific would raise eyebrows.

Re: Para 3 lightweight anticipation

I'm excited for this one too but no plans to trade in my G10 versions at this point. I, on the other hand, will probably put my G-10 version up for sale the day the LW arrives. The G-10 model just won't see any carry once the LW gets here. The Paramilitary 2 is a different story. If they release a ...

Re: Favorite Saturday folder?

Manix 2 LW. Great shape, strong, lightweight. Everything I want in a no-nonsense yardwork folder. Also, the BD1 steel on it handles everything well but also comes back to razor sharp quickly after the work is done. Hoping to have my pre-ordered Para3 Lightweight by the time spring starts so that I c...

Spyderco isn't a framelock company unfortunately.

Re: The Endela - what are your hopes for it?

I hope the Endela's handle is shaped more like Delica's than the Endura's. I know they are very similar, but there are a few differences, and I would like to see the Endela favor the Delica more than the Endura.

My Spyderco EDC is a Caly 3.5, great size good blade length.
As a wiser forum member than me once put it, it's almost an Endura in blade length but almost a Delica in handle length. Can't ask for better than that.

Re: Spyderco new FRN Lightweights: What do you think will be the best?

All, I'm in for all of them. All the FRNs please. Back when I first discovered Spyderco in the mid-1990s, FRN knives like the Delica, Endura, Progrip, Snap-It, Remote Release, Merlin, Rescue, Rescue Jr, etc where there bread and butter. I miss those days, and knowing that trend is coming back around...

Re: Will the Paramilitary FRN replace the Delica?

This may have been covered already Does this come with any liners? The word on the street is that the liners are minimal. Whatever is the minimum necessary to allow for a compression lock. The consensus is that the non-locking side is linerless; however, I think that it is possible there will be a ...

Re: Will the Paramilitary FRN replace the Delica?

Does the Para 3 LW have liners and washers? My thoughts (based not on fact) would be that they'd have the minimum possible to secure the pivot pin to the compression pin on both sides (kind of like the small "figure-8" shaped metal piece on either side of the Manix 2 LW and to allow for t...

Re: Will the Paramilitary FRN replace the Delica?

The Delica, IMO, is starting to border on over-priced for what you get. I hate saying that as it's always been a favorite. I have one in my pocket right now, and my wife and I own at least 5 Delicas between us (pink and pink/purple Zome for her). When the Delica4 was first released it was just barel...
