Spyderco Forums

For this year, these two. 15V PM2 and MagnaCut Small Sebenza. The Sebenza in general probably gets the overall most used nod for the past few years, though previously I was using a couple S45VN ones. With apologies to Spyderco, I still think the small Sebenza is the ultimate form of the every day c...

SS Dragonfly clipless drop in pocket. Either PE or SE. I think it’s the best Spyderco ever designed. Comfortable, unobtrusive, big enough for most jobs. Been into knives forever, and the DF outworks them all.

Indeed. Sal’s best design ever IMO.

Thanks guys. Useful info from everyone. Keep’em coming.

For us europeans(EU) reliable online sellers are quite scarce. When UK left EU I lost one of my most reliable shops. I am talking HH. Despite their high prices the guys from HH are a joy to do business with. I am left with only a few choices lately. We must pay premium prices for our spydies anyway ...

I voted with a comment, the Smock has all ready a cult following and is alive and kicking. No offense but I don't understand why the Ayoob would be considered to be a cult classic

Couldn't decide between the two, so I decided both for today.

How does the Zaan cut ? Is the blade too thick ? My daughters plan to buy me one for Christmas…

A Spydie and a Sebenza for today.

Let me guess...it's the small insingo. Cool !

Para3 in SPY27 would be your best bet.The compression lock is superior to the backlock, especially to the Seki backlock and SPY27 is an awesome allaround steel, stainless, easy to maintain and a dream to sharpen. I own both and my advice is : go with the Para3 and don’t look back.

S90V and colored G10(dark blue, dark red).

FRN and VG10. A Spyderco was on the Everest summit so why look further.

Which one ?

My top five in 2023

AEB-L
Cruwear
SPY27
S90V
H1

Looking forward to test Magnacut

I really like LC200N due to the ease of sharpening, but.....Edge Stability. Curious, because I always heard LC200N was tough. Does the edge roll or chip easily? I haven’t abused mine to have any opinion yet. All this talk of K390 makes me want to try some also It's pretty tough in my experience, bu...

Thank you Mrj for personally recommending the LT3…what a lil beast, reminds me of a smaller Caribbean only with stronger detent…ergos for me are even better than the LJ

Thickness bte ?

Great thread. Keep’em coming.

I only wish they implement the full lenght back spring and the washers in the lightweight variant. I would also be in heaven if they decided to grind them thinner bte. The K390 Urban should be the norm. The UKPK is one of Sal's more refined designs and it deserves the best. Can't wait for the Metrop...

Heinnie Haynes S45VN and red G10 a possibility? HH would be daft not to release another UKPK exclusive because they sell out super fast. I buy one every time they release them (3 times in total now - 2 leafs and 1 drop point) I personally would have liked to have seen the orange G10 and Rex45 when ...

Man, there were some great deals on this knife. I have the VG10 version and love how it feels in hand. I was tempted to get this one, but ultimately decided against it. I don't find myself with cutting tasks that my current version can't handle. Still, what a great knife. Holding is believing. How ...

I picked up a Lil’ Temperance 3 LW with K390 during the Black Friday sales. It’s a great knife in this configuration. I really like the handle shape and feel. Blade is utilitarian with thick stock. Spydie flicks are quick. Closing by compressing the lock is easy enough but requires more concentrati...

Well, if even the words of the guy who designed and manufactured them for decades is not to be trusted, it is sure this discussion will never result in a mutual understanding Bwahahaha! Y'know, those are the truest words of this whole thread. It must be hard being the renowned leader of a respected...

Spyderco's official policy is that factory seconds are not eligible for the factory warranty or sharpening service. If you want to rely on the outlet sharpening your knives for you, you'll just need to buy full priced knives. So, If I bought a full priced knife they would sharpen it for me before t...
