Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

Like I said it's one thing to say the Military 2 draws inspiration from Para 2 design cues. That much is obvious. It's another to tell Sal he named his knife wrong. Not sure why that's controversial here. Normally you guys are more respectful towards him. I think you and Mushroom are the only ones ...

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

Also if any of you have gotten a printed copy of the latest reveal catalog, it has the Military 2 on the cover and it's very very close to being actual size, close enough to lay a Military 1 on top and compare them.

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

Seems like a little suspense never hurts sales either, the longer a model is anticipated the stronger the desire for it seems to brew. This particular model has probably been brewing for 10+ years at least in speculation and rumor, or at least since the Para 2 came out and people started asking if ...

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

I didn't mean it in this way, just that if the "tease" part is too long, one might loose the "enthusiasm" by the time it's finally released, so to speak ;) Yeah I think there should be a concern that people will lose interest and that money burning in their pockets will get spen...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

Still my 4V Military. I'm really loving 4V too. The downside to being on the SE only journey the last 6 years has been all the steels I've avoided because they couldn't be bought with serrations. It's a real bummer, I'd buy a LOT more knives if all of these sprints were also offered in SE.

Re: custom shop...

I'll bet there's a gold rush at Spyderco to get the job of working in the custom shop! Man, can you imagine how fun that job would be? Would love to have that job. A man can dream! Would seriously be cool, I would have a blast just seeing the combos people think of. You'd always be doing something ...

Re: On hold until expansion

I would not rush to sell off your Sprints. Spyderco is not deliberately going to destroy the secondary market by making repeats of prior sprints or exclusives. If the custom shop comes to be, it will likely offer something new. That’s an interesting one … presumably if a custom combo is seen to wor...

Re: custom shop...

So I'm just wondering, is everyone considering the cost of this sort of thing? Meaning...you can probably expect to be paying full MSRP for that custom Para 2, plus most likely a percentage increase for it being custom. People are already upset about MAP prices, are you all willing to pay full MSRP+...

Re: MT39P – CPM 15V Mule Team Dropping Soon!

Mine arrived yesterday along with handles and sheath. I had no fitment issues with handle, though the Boltron sheath has a little rattle and less than positive retention 'click'. These sheaths seem to break in and wear to the handle with use. My MagnaCut Mule has had about a year and a half of fair...

Re: On hold until expansion

Does the expansion mean there will be a Custom Spyderco Shop? I don't think this forum goes a full year between requests for custom shop knives, but so far it's never happened. I think there's way too much money to be made in sprints and exclusives. If I could have any combo I want, it would take a...

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

I could be misremembering, but I don’t think Eric kept it much of a secret in various interviews that there will be more than what has been revealed. I've speculated a lot over the years on this forum, but I think I can say with absolutely certainty that there are either sprints and/or exclusives o...

Re: 15V Shaman!

My lock is super tight too. It takes two hands to close the blade: even when I fully release the lock, I have to push the blade back to overcome the stick. This is contrast to my PM2 which has impressive action. For someone that has never taken apart a Spyderco knife, what steps in order would you ...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

Not so much in my pocket today (still on a Military 1 or nothing run until the 2 comes out) but these just landed today.

First order of business once I get time will be to neuter that nub like I did my MagnaCut Mule lol.

Re: 15V Mule Team scale bolt holes

I didn't have to hammer mine but I did use the butt end of my bit driver to push them all the way through. I actually thought it was the Halpern scales and not the knife but I couldn't tell. The bottom hole went through smooth, it was the middle and front hole that were tight.

Re: A gift from Eric and the Spyderco team!

Kinda looks like a lot less beveling around the edges of the G10? Definitely less than the Military in my pocket.
