Re: Product suggestion: lanyard loop for wire pocket clip models

This is very very nice solution! How I wished to have small lanyard on my Squeak and Urban that would have dedicated place. I do not find exactly comfy to have it sliding up and down on the clip itself :discguised

Re: Reveal 14 Live!

Return of 701 Profile Stones in an upgraded version is dream came true! I would say that almost all of listed knives are something I would like to have in my collection, absolutely dreamy reveal :party-face - THANK YOU SPYDERCO.

Re: Where does the Tenacious stand at 15 years old?

I have to say that I really enjoy even the basic 8cr13mov Tenacious in lightweight version. Yes, 14c28n steel or CTS BD1N would be better but I do like ease of sharpening and touch ups on the basic model, no issues with the steel from my side. Design itself is fantastic, ergonomics, edge to handle r...

Re: Any interest in the return of models like the pingo?

In the past, Sal has spoke about about some designers “using Spyderco” for personal clout to advance their own knife making career. Spyderco has shown reluctance to work with some designers because of this. Sal actually expanded on this in the past, in the thread Spyderco Collaborators You Would Lo...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

Thank you all for really interesting discussion and opinions. Some models mentioned would be harder to sell some would be easier but it is as well very good to see that there is big support for locking knives from people in European market, regardless location. I am personally from country, where yo...

Re: Are We Witnessing The Death Knell of K390 In Production Folders?

Hopefully there will be no dawn of K390 anytime soon as it is absolutely fantastic blade steel. My Manbug in K390 is my constant companion and true EDC (even in my pyjamas shirt pocket :grin-sweat ).

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

Well there's already a good number of slipjoints here, a simple handle material change would not be as exciting as I hoped. But if this is what people wants 😀 To be honest, the handle color is not the main player here but will be part of the complete package with some nice steel. I will not lie, I ...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

I would LOVE that ! I've been hoping for a EU dealer exclusive since I've learned about exclusives ! I know about Heinnie's but since they're not in the EU anymore the price bloats almost as much as importing from the USA. I'd like for it to be a Taichung model. Chokwe would be bananas. Let's even ...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

As far as the poll goes - over 20 respondents would like to see European exclusive Spyderco and 5 no. I would like to hear as well those opposed and the reasoning behind this - not interested as you don’t like the idea/don’t have use for it/wouldn’t buy it as you just don’t have interest in exclusiv...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

I wouldn’t like this to become political discussion and as stated quite a few times, this is just about yes or no situation. Let’s not speculate, those two options are what I would like to see but are not decided as nothing is yet. Let’s not dive in Legal and Legal discussion as I wouldn’t like anyo...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

I would be over the moon if the bigger shops in europe would start ordering exclusives. My dream would be a Manix 2 or an Shaman. But a Pingo would also be more then welcome. This is our chance to do something about it, we can start small and perhaps others will get inspired as well. Hopefully ther...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

Input on model/style of knife is probably appreciated, but I guess Lamnia will want to have the final word on this anyway. They know their customers and what models they are buying. Exactly, I am not the decision maker here, I am just an avid Spyderco user from Prague wanting European exclusive I c...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

Why can’t it be a fixed blade. :lightbulb Most knives from Finland I’m interested in are fixed blades. I am thinking if there would be enough big market for first exclusive being fixed blade. Personally I do not know many people carrying a fixed blade around here, it is more folding knives :) but s...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

These euro knife laws are a shame. Heartbreaking. I'd rather see the energy go into changing these dumb laws. As for if I'd buy one, maybe. The lock is an integral part of the tool IMHO. I'm not entirely sure I'd buy a slipjoint If you would read some of my posts, model is just my idea and it is no...
