Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

Bets on the first exclusive to drop? Historically, Spyderco has done S90V with CF scales as a first sprintrun. This was the case recenlty with Chief and Shaman, so they will probably continue with that. That will be probably followed by M4, Cruwear, and REX45 in no particular order. I will hold out...

Re: if you could only own a 5 Spyderco knife collection:

My top three have been locked in for a while. Of the next top 5, GB2 and Sage 5 are it right now.

Re: Favorite 3” in house spyderco folder?

Native for me, but I don't discriminate. It is my most used in this category, but any of these will do when a smaller knife is in rotation. And I just realized the Para 3 is missing from this lineup... Awesome, love that photo! Do you own yourself a para 3? Yes, couple of G10 versions. Frequently i...

Re: Native 5 or Delica 4

I wish the Delica got the cool sprints and exclusives that the Native does. K390 is a solid option, though. Still, I'd like to see a delica 15v or rex45 Seems like Delica 4 has had a good run lately when it comes to steel options. https://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?title=C11_Delica Where is my K3...

Re: So, Sal, is the Caly3 model extinct ?!

I am carrying my HAP40 Caly 3 this whole week. Great knife; no flaws at all. Ever since I got it, I wanted to get the Caly 3.5. Still do! I had a chance to try a couple (one at SFO, the other at local store) of the current CF model in hand. This only reaffirmed my need to have one. Unfortunatelly, b...

Re: What’s on your current short list?

Of what is available, Caly 3.5. Otherwise, I can dream up couple of knives, no problem.

Re: The Sage: A stellar EDC

For me, in direct competition with the Native 5 and Para 3. Not a looker, but makes up for it in quality. And ergonomically, it fits right in this 'small' category.

Re: Native 5 or Delica 4

G10 Native 5 would be my vote.

They are both great knives in this size. It really comes down to what fits your hand better.

I have had bad luck with lock rock from Japanese back lock knives. No such issue with the Native - had 6; still have 4.

Good luck.

Re: What knife makes you smile whenever you carry it?

When I haven't carried this one for a while and grab it, it's playful color and that butter smooth compression lock, it is a joy.

Re: Manix 2 more popular than Paramilitary 2?

I have a good amount of experience with both knives. At the end of the day, there is nothing you can say or do to change my preference between them. I trust most of you who have used both are are in the same boat. Independent of what others think. Is one more popular than the other? I am sure. But i...

Re: FOMO or No?

First time I couldn't get the knife I wanted - the CRUWEAR micarta Shaman. I have not experienced that before. And I am a fan of srpints and exclusives. That was a turning point. Counterintuitively, it cured me of FOMO.
