Spyderco Forums

Let me start by saying that I have never done a scale swap and I rarely disassemble my knives unless it's a complete necessity because I figure the factory got it right the first time. That said, how easy is a scale swap on a GB2 as compared to other models? Would it be reasonably easy for a first t...

The only real advantage in SB over S30v is that it is fun to sharpen and easily gets wickedly sharp. The edge retention isn’t the greatest though.

I read it on the forum (sorry, I’m not sure who to credit) and it kind of stuck with me but I too could buy a small used car with the knives that are put away that I no longer really use but will take out on occasion to enjoy handling or just think about. I think you nailed it with ever evolving tas...

A Military sprint run before they release the Military 2! I know that it’s just a daydream but it’s all speculation anyway so why not hope?

I would like to see a purple, DLC Cruwear Native 5 from DLT. I am hoping that’s not too far of a stretch and that it’s in the works sometime soon. I don’t think that we’ll see it but I also agree with the Manix in 3v. That would trump the Native pretty fast.

I never cared for the Para 3 but I can see the appeal to a niche market. I agree with some of the above comments that, for its size, it is missing part of the knife. For me, it’s an awkward knife that’s missing part of the blade if I really need to work with a knife and if I want to carry something ...

Best I've experienced = 52100. My Military sprint is just a joy to sharpen, it takes practically nothing to get it blazing sharp. Worst I've experienced = 154CM. I had one of the original Manix 2's when they first came in this steel, and it was the gummiest, burr prone nightmare to sharpen. Might h...

Large Persian with Micarta scales, bolsters and a modern steel upgrade, coming from Seki possibly K390? I also always thought this knife would make an excellently wicked SE version.

I received mine today as well and I couldn’t be happier. It’s very solid, with smooth action and an excellent grind. Well done Spyderco and St Nick’s.

I’m in too! I am more excited about this knife than any that I’ve ordered in quite a while.

I love the color combo, but I'm not sold on Cru-Wear. I could look up how awesome Cru-Wear is, or just post it here. Cruwear isn’t my favorite steel but I like it, and like you, I like the color combo. I am sure there are plenty of people on the board willing to offer up greater praises for Cruwear...

I haven’t seen this posted yet so I thought that I would put it out there. I am pretty excited about this one. It will be my first Endela and in a combo that I really like.

It’s the Swayback for me. It’s one of the most uncomfortable knives to use that I own and one of the most disappointing Spydies that I have, but every time that I start to get rid of it I end up holding off and putting it back in the drawer. It’s a very attractive knife.

I like them quite a bit and this really came out of nowhere. I will be traveling but I hope they are around long enough for me to get one of each.

This is a great thread. I would buy one with the right steel if Spyderco doesn't price me out of their market in the next couple of years.

I have been watching this thread but I kind of feel like chiming in. I understand this year’s increase more than last year’s. Last year’s spike seemed more like I was paying for Spyderco’s expansion but this increase is more in line with inflation. Regardless, my wages haven’t kept pace with inflati...

The Arkansas/ Kansas game was a thriller . New yardage record set . Dan

^^^This^^^ Bowl games don't have to be the best teams available but if you can match two pretty equal teams you get a h*ll of a game.

Any version of the Persian.

Is the Native Chief anything like the Native 5? I really like everything about the Native 5 and a bigger version seems neat. But just by looking at the blade geometry/shape the Native Chief looks like it would be a totally different knife, not just a bigger Native 5. On the other hand the Lil Nativ...

Bowl games outside of the playoffs are pretty much meaningless as far as national esteem and recognition go but I think that they still mean something to the players, especially at the smaller schools. For a lot of them it’s their last college hurrah and for others it gives them more time to develop...
