That’s a great idea Shawn!!

For fans of the Sage 5 lightweight: https://parsonsbladeworks.bigcartel.com/ They don’t pop up very often but they’re among the best aftermarket scales I’ve ever used. Tolerances are spot on and importantly, they include the Sage lw’s contouring…one of the most important aspects of its design. I’d ...

Why choose? They’re all awesome! My Cruwear GB2 has SDK OD green Micarta scales, had to make sure I used a different color than my other two. Cheers, Radioactive

It’s a FrankenDelica. Those are indeed the dark green (British racing green or BRG) scales off the ZDP-189 Delica from back in the day (not even the original color of those knives either, they originally used a beautiful light blue that really needs to come back). The VG-10 blade originally came in ...

This shot of Pingo is fantastic . MG2

Thank you, I really appreciate that! That RGT clip seems like it was destined for that knife, it matches so excellently.

Please make an orange one!!

C22 Walker, C26 Snap-It, and I’m guessing a very heavily sharpened C09 Co-Pilot.

Hi there, sorry to tell you but that’s a fake Spyderco Domino. There are several things wrong with it — stock lockbar doesn’t have that hole, body screws are the wrong size, topside clip screw holes are missing, the blade shape is off, etc. It’s a bad clone, sorry again. Cheers, Radioactive https://...

Wasn’t a big fan of the green, so I went for blue on the T2 (I had Esteban at TiSurvival re-anodize them). The blue screws are from Steve at BladesWeLove. My Techno 1 has a Cuscadi black G10 backspacer that’s a few mm taller than the stock blue G10 one, which gives it a lot better grip. Both have RG...

Native 5 RGT fluted black Ultem Cruwear and stock fluted titanium S90V

Lil Native RGT fluted Ti wharncliffe S30V and RGT fluted black Ultem Cruwear

Hi there, these are highly recommended:

The blacksmith ones have a finish that matches Spyderco DLC blades. They often have black cerakoted ones available too, but don’t seem to have any currently. Hope this helps!

Of your list: Bradley, Kapara and Stretch 2 XL are my recommendations. You have solid Golden and Seki-made knives already, time to see what the amazing Taichung factory can do! The Stretch 2 I recommend because you need to experience that knife with liners and G10. :)

A couple of recent IG posts, I figured folks here might like to take a look too. I’ve said it a few times on this forum that I don’t think any period in Spyderco’s history can match the sheer beauty of what the Moki factory produced back in the day. The inlaid Kiwis and Kopas are some of my most fav...

Yes, thank you very much! Certainly my most referenced threads on the forum. Just to help link up the previous year’s list, here’s the link to the 2023 Lists thread:

Link to 2024 thread?

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=95998

I’m also going to post the link of this 2023 thread in the 2024 one… I always had to hunt around or Google the last year’s version, maybe this will help.

Sometimes these screws work themselves out bouncing around during shipping. Did you check the shipping box itself to see if it fell out? Unlikely, I know, but it does happen. Good luck! Cheers, Radioactive

Old timer chiming in here. Back when I started obsessing over Spydercos a decade ago, the forum considered the Native as the “mini Manix” just FYI. There’s never been a model with that exact name. Same kind of thing as the Chaparral being originally meant as a smaller Sage (yes, lock types are diffe...
