This Spyderco Military 2 production sample was shown at the 2023 Spyderco Amsterdam Meet. I shot the video in portrait mode, so it’s optimized for phones (I’ll post it on my Instagram too @thatspydercollector), which might come off a bit strange if you’re watching this on a desk- or laptop. https://...

[...] However, the Lil’ Native features a 4-way clip mount option and it’s made in the USA, like all Native designs. https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2023/03/spyderco_amsterdammeet2023_spydercollector_lilnativelightweight_1.jpg Wouter, Your pictures don't show the 4 way clip mount option...

Noticed that the specs for the Lil Native LW above show a blade thickness of 3.2mm. It was my understanding that the LW was supposed to be thinner blade stock. Did I get that wrong? I could very well be off, I didn't get a good measure of it and went with the catalog listing for the regular lil Nat...

The Lil’ Native Lightweight features a really light and compact blade, even compared to the MicroJimbo and Lil’ Native Wharncliffe. The linerless FRN handle truly makes the Lil’ Native a featherweight. The Lil’ Native Lightweight is very similar to the lightweight Dragonfly. However, the Lil’ Nativ...

The inside is lined with a velvet-like material to help guide and ease the knife in the cover. I’m not sure what the material is, but it felt a lot like Boltaron or Kydex/Concealex. https:/...

Eric explained that this design follows a trend that started a few years ago in Japan, to make kitchen knives that you can put down without the edge touching the table. The 7CR17 ste...

I find it interesting that the Microjimbo blade is listed at 1.97” as I would’ve expected it to be closer to 2.5 inches. Still 110% in on that one.

There's always the option I made a mistake or it was measured slightly differently than Spyderco would....

The Manbug will be offered in a leaf shape blade, after customer demand for this blade style option of the Manbug. It basically is a micro-version of the double distal triangle blade shape that Spyderco is known for. https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2023/03/spyderco_amsterdammeet2023_spyd...
