Re: Sage series collection - What's the next Sage?
Sometimes, I covet those Sage 4s. If any one needs a "comeback", it's that one. I can always wish. replace the Ti bolster with smooth polished grey G-10 and the wood with jigged brown G-10 with a little black dye. Go for something similar to this in appearance: https://blogger.googleuserco...

Re: Lil' Temp 3 & Short Thick Blades
I have the LT3 LWT SE. I like the blade and handle shape. I don't like the pocket clip. It doesn't slide in and out of the pocket easily enough to be an EDC. Spyderco could use the clip from the Shaman or Native 5 so that there are aftermarket deep carry options. Give the clip a landing pad like th...

Re: Tip Up vs Tip Down Poll
A question for the masters,
Were the Dyad models tip down or tip up?

Re: Tip Up vs Tip Down Poll
Interesting, I did not know they left out the holes by the pivot on the Bodacious. That makes me even more interested in it. I do not like unused holes all over the scales. It is one reason I prefer aftermarket scales. They just look cleaner. Except on the Military. I think it looks great even thou...

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
Oh, never thought about bending a factory spring. Might be fun to try out. Always thought I had to make my own replacement If needed ! Interesting that you chaps want stronger springs. On all of my Spyderco back locks, I've bent the springs to provide less tension. We all have are own ideas about w...

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
I was gonna say that I feel like my Backlock Manix 2 feels a bit soft spring-wise. Still love it ! @cjk saw what you did there :winking-tongue Mine was soft too. I took it apart and bent the spring a bit more. It now snaps shut just like it wanted to be a 3.5 inch Native. 😁 Oops, I did it again. 🤣😜

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
Is this the knife everyone really wants? Here me out. People decried it because it had such a thick blade and other complaints. However, when one looks at the specs, it has the same blade thickness, and close to the same specs as other well loved knives and none of their detriments. ... Add to this...

Re: CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel
I have a SE Cruwear Ayoob. I bought a factory second because I was interested in serrated Cruwear moreso than the design. It's a tremendous cutter, however the way the serrations are ground is different enough from other Spyderco models that I don't think it really teaches me all that much about the...

Re: Tip Up vs Tip Down Poll
Y’all “tip up or die” folks should try tip down for a bit. There’s nothing the least bit wrong with it at all. It’s much more flexible than tip up, especially with knives that depend on little detent balls to keep them closed. If a knife is setup for rhtd, it doesn’t seem the least bit weird to alte...

Re: Experienced Serrated Edge K390 users wanted.
… Off topic - Now that I type this, I recall @Evil D mentioning the Native 5 Magnacut SE being right about 15DPS from the factory. That may be a better option for someone to try out, though unfortunately being a bit thicker blade stock then some of the Seki options. Not sure if the LC200N and S30V ...

There’s also a Native Chief lightweight in serrated BD1N as well as an upcoming lil Native lightweight in serrated BD1N.

Re: Native 5 in 15V Anyone else want one?
I'm in on the 15v Native 5, both lightweight and G-10. Honestly, there's no other model I'd like to see in 15v more.

Re: Para 3 LW Slip Joint
There was a thread about a double detent G-10 para 3 slip joint previously. IIRC, Sal was going to have a prototype made. I'll go find the thread.

Re: Native Scout?
OK, I gotta admit, that's a very attractive size. Seeing it won me over. Can we just scootch the finger choil back into the handle a bit? There's plenty of room, and it'd leave more edge available for cutting. It's pretty perfect 🤩 Makes me want to revise my plan of buying a Native chief XL and try...

Re: Chaparral
The recent GB2 exclusive is in Cruwear, so there’s at least one Taichung model that’s used that steel. I’d love to see basically any new Chap variant, whatever the flavor of steel or handle. As many folks have pointed out, aftermarket scale options are pretty good for this model, plus there’s alway...
