Where are you?

Hi Sal,

I'm in Toronto, Canada although I purchased it from Heinnie Hayne's online shop in 2019

Is it inevitable that the spring gets weaker with slipjoints? I bought the HH edition in 2019, but the past two weeks I've noticed there's barely any resistance to break the detent of the half stop now. I disassembled it and cleaned it out then put it back together and it's still kind of weak, and I...

UKPK HH edition, cause it has a full length metal backspacer

No thumb stud or spydiehole has ever made my fingers hurt (except CRKs), but if it's sharp then 30 seconds with the white rods from the sharpmaker works well

Spyderco Kapara, great ergos, incredible blade, coolest pivot I've seen on a Spydie and default wire clip, one of the longest cutting edges on any Spyderco I can think of for its size (and even longer than the Benchmade 940) by getting the blade to be 1/3 of the forward finger groove and the handle ...

I was thinking of selling my Spydiechef and I was taking a pic of the box for an ad post, and it does say Made in Japan when the Spydiechefs are actually made in Taiwan. Is this a misprint for the box, or did I receive a counterfeit? I've had it for a couple of years already :woozy and bought it new...

Can these be sharpened with the grey sharpmaker ceramic rods?

I'm also not really a fan of the lightweight, but I got the smooth G10 knifecenter cruwear one, and it's been in my pocket for 2 weeks straight, kicked out my TRM atom and Sage 3 and Bugout for the time being. The G10 one just feels much higher quality

Wow the FRN Native Chief is almost as light as the Benchmade Bugout, despite being longer and that back spring.

Para 3. Bought the BD1N lightweight, then sold it. Got the DLT version lightweight, sold it. Bought the DLT G10 version two times, sold them. Also bought the Maxamet Para 3 two times, sold them both times. Settled on the HH UKPK and Sage 3 as the knives I always thought the was Para 3 would be for me.

There's way too little space in the compression lock area along with the slick scales makes it slippery when closing especially, and for some reason it's the only Spyderco I can think of that doesn't doesn't have its compression lock tab have ridges on the top of it. I'd re-buy it in a back lock or ...

looks like the pre CQI military

how about a Boyd dent? The extra thin lockbar on your thumb when closing it is the only thing I dislike about the Chap, I feel a curve would relieve that discomfort.

Pics look nice, hope they do a Stretch 2 Version someday. That first Finger groove on the Delica/Endela/Endura doesn't agree with my hands.

BladeHQ already has them physically in hand and those are their pictures and they're pinned, so I'd say it's 99.999% pinned. CS (from any company) are often clueless and these models were "set in stone" probably one or two or three years ago, I'd doubt they'd change the manufacturing pipel...

I like the Heinnie Haynes ukpk so much, wouldn't mind another one in a diff steel, and engraving on the back spring seems like a cool touch.

I finally found a near mint Sage 3, never thought I'd find one. Combines the general ergos I love about the Sage/UKPK-ish handles, but also doesn't have the few things I dislike about the Manix which is that the tension on the spring is too high and the extended bump area on the handle. Tension on t...

Sage 2! I've tried the Sage 1 and kind of hate the texture of that carbon fiber peel ply, while I love frame locks. Never got one because it was discontinued before I started getting into knives

So is the lanyard tube hitting the blade on literally all of them as they're just made like that? Or is it just a qc issue on some?

Is the blade stonewashed like the Maxamet models? Some clips I've watched of it looks like it, but the specs say it's satin
