Re: Spyderco Military 4V DLC St. Nick's Exclusive

Been waiting on this for a loooooong time! Glad to see it finally be released! Hopefully we see a few more Militaries in the next few months as well as it seems like they tend to run the same model at once. Maybe we will see a Purple/Cruwear version from DLT!!!

Re: Native 5 frn

Did you loosen the pivot screw? I adjust the pivot screw to my liking on every new Spyderco. All it takes it a tiny barely perceptible twist in one direction or the other to loosen or tighten. Grab a torx and dial it in.

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. Absolutely! I am HUGE fan of the Boye Dent, to the point where I stubbornly refuse to buy the Police LW and Rockjumper due to the lac...

Re: What you don't like about spyderco knives?

I am a hard core Spyderco loyalist, but I don't care for their popular PM2 and Para 3 models due to the compression lock. I've had those models open slightly while clipped to my pocket on numerous occasions, leading to some small (thankfully) cuts. I've never had a problem with any of their other lo...

I’m really tempted. Has anyone purchased from white mountain knives with no contact between the blade and lanyard tube issues? Or is it just luck of the draw?

Luck. You can always just remove the tube. I have and it is fine now.

Re: DLT Cruwear Endela

My most favorite Spydie ever probably still isthe Endura and I prefer it over the Endela, but for folks who are content with the edge length of the Endela (just a bit less than a PM2) it is the better choice imo. A more compact carry, a slightly more handfilling handle still long enough I dare to s...

Re: Forum Knife???

You lost me at slipjoint. Would rather spend my money on one of the many other models I still am after. Maybe alternate between locking, slippie, and fixed, if this becomes a yearly thing??

Re: What's your LEAST favorite of all your favorites?

I typically sell off anything that I no longer like, but I bought and kept my Cru-carta PM2 because I like the materials, steel, and ergos. I just hate comp locks and always have issues with them opening in my pocket, including this one, so I stopped carrying it. Definitely my least favorite due to ...

Even with my love of Cruwear I've passed on all these KC exclusives due to hating the smooth G10. This one is making me reconsider.

I wonder if they could make an FFG PE version in K390? That seems like it could be a winning combo.
This would be my ideal blade for utility.

Agreed. I'd love to pit one against my most carried knife, which is my Delica PE Wharnie in K390.

Re: Pick One Spyderco for last knife.

Love all of the love for Seki knives here. The Golden made knives made be the trendiest, but for pure use the Seki knives are unbeatable. It would probably be the Delica Wharnie for me. I wish there was a Cruwear version.

Are you camping on a beach? Corrosion resistance is pretty low on my list of qualities in a camp knife. I have a couple stainless woods knives in steels like VG10 and 154CM and it’s nice to worry less but the truth is that I have never had issues with basic carbon steels while camping so any stainl...
