Spyderco Forums

I hope more forumites make some noise about a S35vn option. Seems well within the realm of reason. When it came out, I was one of those noise makers...it looks like an absolutely fantastic design, but I already have too many knives I don't use and I'm not going to buy an 8Cr blade in any design. I ...

Complete overkill but would be very hard to pass up, count me in.

One of my favorite Spyderco designs, and not nearly as delicate as one might assume. Underrated for sure...

PacSalt 2 SE is one I've been considering since it dropped. I probably need it in my life don't I?

It gets my vote...

My favorite Salt SE's.

Ergos & steel are what Spyderco does best, so the options are many, but the first few that come to mind are Caly 3, Native series & GB1.

Honorable mentions for Manix & Domino...

I'm definitely looking forward to a Sage 5 LW in Rex121!

I really appreciate you sharing the interview!

This is utterly spectacular! Fantastic work Chad; congratulations Rusty!

Very nice knife Vaugith! I should sell off some unused knives just to pick up a custom Lamia from Alex. I have enjoyed following his journey and really respect how he runs his business. I've got a Shark and had him regrind a Mantra 2, but the Lamia is an excellently refined design...I think I may ha...

Mantra 1 is my favorite Spydie and fills the entire Goldilocks zone...

Welcome to the forum, John!

Just to muddy the waters...my readily available suggestions would be.

Delica 4 Wharncliffe
Salt 2 Wharncliffe
Native 5 Salt
Chaparral

Steel and plain edge vs serrated edge comes down to your comfort and equipment when it comes to sharpening.

Glad to have you aboard!

Thanks for sharing David!

Nice combo!

I just decided that the Perrin Street Bowie will be my next Spydie...it never appealed to me before, but after getting an itch for a lightweight tactical oriented fixed blade, it really hits the mark; being from my favorite knife company is a bonus. The Bastinelli Silence Slim was the runner up in m...
