Re: AI art knows Spyderco

There will be companies that design and produce knives this way, unfortunately. “Ai designed” will probably be the marketing gimmick too. :nauseated I really despise this pseudo-creative Ai plague. No to be taken the wrong way, but when it comes to stuff being designed by AI, knives are the least o...

Re: k390 serrated discontinued?

I got the SE k390 Delica recently. I am yet to sharpen it, but I should because it does mote catching on stuff than wanting to cut. But I am not looking forward to the shaprening.

Re: Tanto blades

They've done it twice already but people grumbled a lot about the last one. It's a hard sell to put a run out that no one likes.

Re: Tanto blades

I am not too crazy about tanto PM2 for some reason, but a Lum Tanto sprint re-run would be awesome. Not sure whether it would be possible though.

Re: If laws and public perception were no issue, would you carry a different knife?

Believe it or not, but I have a couple of very weird friends that actually prefer their locking folding knives to be two hand opening. I don’t get it, but they’re free to like whatever they want. Anyhow, a favorite off the shelf option for at least one of them are the Fällkniven knives, the GP (Gen...

Re: Gauntlet vs Sharpmaker

I am wondering whether the Gauntlet rods given their cross-section are better suited to maintain some of the more narrow (more tightly packed) serrated patterns.

Re: UKPK Drop Point Steels

I agree, but apparently the majority of buyers prefer the (also excellent) leaf blade (similarly to the Stretch).

Magnacut DP would of course be great, but even Spy27 would be awesome.

Re: Spyderco backlocks : why is the stop pin an exception, instead of being the norm ?

I am wonder Whether the motivation was the very thin stock and thus the spring / backlock might be showing too much flex without the stop pin.

Re: Sharpmaker Elite Edition

With a possible Big Brown Bear/Spyderco collaboration on the stones? As of 2024, nobody has figured out how to get the cost down for super vitrified diamond/cBN technology. While it can be made, I don't think it would be in the price range people would like and they probably wouldn't understand wha...

Re: Spyderco Models We Need In FULL SE

I would love to see more hollow (or at least saber) ground SE blades - in particular other steels than H1/H2. But I am very much looking forward to the SE Chap. It is a pleasant surprise and my hat is off to Spyderco for that. Oh I hear you loud and clear. But I do think that the C-60 Cruwear Ayoob...

Re: Could this Delica 4 be a fake?

Yeah, there is little reason to look for a 'rare' model from 2009 when one can have exactly the same design just in a different FRN color.

Yeah, I am thinking the same here. But is this particular model so 'worthless' that one would gain noticeably from doing such a little scam?

Any chance that it's a C11SFG?
I think you nailed it! This particular model is not in the Spyderco database, so I did not find it. But this must be it. But how on earth did an unused model that was made 2007 - 2009 end up in a k390 Box? Must be a collector's item today, lol!.

That is not a K390, not the steel, nor the color. Send it back post-haste.
That's the plan, replacement was already requested at Amazon and is on the way

Re: Sal, question regarding the Salt line and LC200

isn't there a lc200n ladybug already being made and put in a shot glass? Good catch! It looks like the case indeed. The question is, whether this is a dummy, or an actual blade (geometry, HT, etc) https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/SG01/BenShot-reg-Shot-Glass-with-Ladybug-reg-3-Blade/2348 whe...
