Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!

Knifecenter Exclusive Cruwear/Smooth G10 Lil Native @ $126 is a no-brainer (and a pretty crazy deal!) over the S30V base model ($142.45).. https://www.knifecenter.com/item/SP230GPCW/spyderco-lil-native-compression-lock-folding-knife-cpm-cruwear-satin-plain-blade-smooth-black-g10-handles-knifecenter-...

Re: How many Spydercos do you need to feel like your collection is complete?

I'm pretty happy with the current state of my accumulation.. but there will always be some new model that comes out I must have, or some crazy deal I just can't resist. Voted "I don't think I'll ever be finished."

Re: Alert Threads

"Alert"-ing, deal-spotting, etc. is frowned upon on another of the largest internet knife forums. I have always deeply appreciated the Spyderco Forum for its general willingness to foster knife enthusiasts in their endeavors to find & buy knives. I'd hate to see that jeopardized in any...

Re: Please remove MAP pricing forever!

I agree with MAP in theory. Though Spyderco prices continue to rise (along with literally everything else), I think MAP is pretty fair to all parties involved and there is some comfort in knowing that, generally, "the price is what the price is" across all retailers. That said, it cannot b...

Re: Black Friday Deals

This thread has been better than christmas morning! Some truly amazing deals out there, and really fun reading through all of the excitement here. I scored a Police 4 LW from Knivesshipfree for ~$90, and the new Lil Temp 3 LW from Indiana Knives* for ~$140. I'm definitely happy with those deals! I'v...

Re: Crazy Deals that are Non Spyderco

The SOG home page has a 40% off sale if you use code MWR40. If you have been curious about SOGs current Taiwan made knives, now is your chance. I’m trying out a Pentagon XR folder for $54. G10 & XHP. Hopefully anyone that ordered from this sale got shipping notices. If you didn't it's probably ...

Re: Crazy Deals that are Non Spyderco

There is a pretty awesome Ka-Bar sale going on right now: 50% off of most in-stock items at kabar.com. It's 50% off of MSRP, but still works out to some solid savings over normal retail pricing. Ends today (Nov 16) at 11:59 pm EST.

Re: c36 military symbol question

Nice find!

That mark on the ricasso doesn't look like any Spyderco or knife-related marking that I'm familiar with. I second Dan's opinion.. my guess is that it was added by an owner at some point. Stylized "AJ?" Maybe "JF?" Hahah an infinity symbol?? I'm not sure..

Re: Dark Blue G10 Turning Black

I don't have an S110V Military, but the dark blue g10 on my PM2 is definitely one of the more "chameleon" scale options.. mine can look anywhere from a vibrant purple-y blue to straight purple, to a deep dark blue, almost black, depending on lighting and directionality of lighting. There i...

Re: BladeHQ Exclusive Lum Tanto

That Lum posted on BF was rough. At the knife's price point, any of the "well, how does she cut?!" counter arguments/excuses for less than perfect execution on construction fall dead flat. That said, this is literally a sample size of one . I think accusations of widespread & rampant &...

With exception of the Siren, nothing especially shocking here.. I'm thinking the Siren will be getting a Magnacut release. Putting all of the effort into the lockbar CQI and releasing the S90V sprint only to then turn around and immediately.. discontinue the model??? It just doesn't make sense.. I m...

The Advocate is a really cool knife. I actually just got a NOS/pre-CQI model for a fair price about two weeks back.

Re: Good all around knife for working around the house & yard

The Endura is a great knife, but that SS is going to be about the worst possible version for house/yard work. Slick scales & pinned construction do not lend themselves well to a down & dirty working knife, imo. As others have already mentioned, I'd also recommend the Pacific Salt (I like SE ...
