Spyderco FB50 Stok Drop Point

Not only did I 'have' to get this one, as the designer is a fellow Dutchman and a great guy, I really like this pocket fixed blade - even though I prefer neck carry. I'm looking forward to more of his designs. https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/spyderco_stok_droppoint_spydercollecto...

Spyderco Bob Lum Chinese Folder - Nishijin

In anticipation of the release of the Spyderco Stretch 2 XL sprint run, with a Damascus blade and blue Nishijin glass fiber scales, here’s a look at two types of Nishijin glass fiber that Spyderco has used in the past.

Personally, I'd love to see a sprint run of the Des Horn, BlackHawk or Toad.

Re: Dying Black G10 Scales to Make Them Blacker

Is your knife maybe a little dried out? Sometimes G10 can get a chalky appearance to it that you can get rid of with a little oil or even hand lotion. Maybe try that before you dye it and see if that doesn't get what you want. If you still feel you need to dye it afterwards, make sure you scrub the...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report

I wish I saw : the high performance Delica and the LW Caly3.5… to mention just a few. What’s the big secret about these ?! 🤷‍♂️ Usually, with prototypes in any design/production environment, there is always a risk of less honorable companies copying and stealing a design. In this case, it might be ...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report

Did Spyderco make any mention of why the holes are offset the way they are on those sheaths? Was a straight line just too simple? I don’t have OCD but looking at those sheaths makes me feel like I do! I do not recall if the design of the holes was mentioned, sorry. I do see them trailing away from ...

Re: Stretch 2 XL Nishijin – Spyderco Design Production Sample 2023

Yes, Nishijin is back! Thank you, sir! You may not realize it, but you solved a big problem for me. I REALLY like the looks of the Stretch 2 XL, and Cru-Wear makes it nearly irresistable. I've been strong, and have been able to hold on to my cash. Now that you've leaked the Nishijin version, the re...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report

Thank you Wouter for sharing the pictures and info! This is a great thread. That Nishjin Stretch XL looks really intriguing... I'm curious about the handle on the Military 2. Reviews I've seen on the current Military indicate the handle is more chamfered than that of the PM2, but in the pictures of...

@Mr Blonde. Regarding the Stretch 2XL. Country of manufacturer - USA?
Gotta be Seki, right? I thought all Nishijin models came from there.
Yes, I would assume made in Seki, Japan. All Nishijin models so far were made in Japan and the Stretch 2 XL is also currently made in Japan.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report

On the MicroJimbo: Blade: 1.97 inch / 50 mm = so the blade is more or less the same length as the Manbug/Ladybug? (1.95" (49mm) ) I hope this is a typo... that would be quite disappointing if true. I remember last year, that the rumors were for the blade to be 2 and a half inches. sal, feel fr...
