Spyderco Forums

Thought we could post a bunch of new content here in this thread as it comes in:

All my previous N5 lightweight's had t6 body screws. Including my maxamet versions.

Just got another maxamet version from DLT last week and it has t8 screws on the body. Has anyone else seen this? Wondering if it is a CQI change, or if happened to...

I both like and dislike the Native. I love the lock and materials. I love the looks. I think this is one of the best looking knives made by anybody.

However....

As can be seen, the Cat is a much smaller knife. On the other hand the Cat has,...

Up for Pre-order....

I've wanted to try this little one for a while now.
Are there any prospects of other steels in the Lil Native, other than S30V ?

I’ve been meaning to bring this up for a long time. Since it’s a new year and a new decade, here goes.

I’d like a Spyderco Pendant knife. A Bug with LC200N steel, polished linerless ivory or black G10 with a larger lanyard tube for its size. It needs...

CPM REX 45 has been the most elusive blade steel (for me and I'm sure plenty other people). I see the Manix 2 as an opportunity to spread some more of this fabled steel to Spyderco fans; the first 3 models released are overpriced on the secondary market,...

In the steel poll SPY27 was the clear winner.
35% CPM SPY27 (=handle color Cobalt Blue)
19% LC200N

SPY27 means Cobalt Blue handle.

The shortlist of the models are:
23% UK Pen
22% Shaman
19% Lil Native
Because requested often I also want to...

It'll be my first Native, so I'm looking for advice on what to try. In addition to the poll above, I'll ask for a recommendation on a Native that's available right now (or in the near future) that's a little more interesting than the stock. Ie, not just...

I decided to purchase my first Caribbean in plain edge leaf shape blade config but... it's out of stock everywhere :eek: Maybe it's a sign and I should get the leaf shape in spyderedge since I'm a sucker for spyderedges anyway. Yes you guessed, I need...

I just finished chopping up a bunch of strawberries with my S110V Military.

How about you? What was your Spydie's last chore?

Hey folks. I am going to try a little one knife experiment this year and I'm almost done selling everything off to fund the knife I'm going to use. I have decided that I'm going to go with the good ol' Delica for this and am leaning heavily towards the...

Any word on when this will start hitting the sales floor ??

Today for me it the G-10 Cat!! John

If this is a duplicate thread.. Please delete..

Has anyone noticed? Was this discussed?

Upcoming Rex45 sprints, Manix2
MSRP of FRN lw: $175
MSRP of G10: $180

Native 5 S110V
MSRP of FRN lw: $200
MSRP of G10: $265

Why's the G10 version so much more expensive compared to the FRN lw on the N5?...

The recent Snap-It thread has gotten me thinking - I know dangerous thing. The Snap It's snap on carabiner type ring seems like a great way to attach a knife for things like whitewater rafting, fishing, boating, and other activities where one would need...

I for one would like to purchase some Spyderco’s in Super Blue.

Please post the models you would like to buy.

For example I would like a Delica in Super Blue, Straight Spine Stretch and perhaps a few others.

Since I became a big fan of Spyderco's Hawkbill blades back around 2004 there has been one model that I've always loved better than most of Spyderco's great Hawkbill models>> The Hawkbill model I've relied on the most over the years has been the...

As seen in BHQ's Shot Show 2019 video, Eric has in his pocket a Tanto PM2.

This is a great addition to the PM2 line, imo.

The last tanto release was the BHQ Lum Tanto, but this seems to offer several advantages:

- superior compression lock
-...

Did the Mule Team program get put to rest?
I still have my K390 mule. That was such a great program.
Would've liked to have got the Cobalt Special and some others.
Wander if Sal might consider some re-runs of select Mules...

Which would you rather have? As I understand it REX45 is the U.S. version of HAP40.

Which do you prefer and why?

On IG, Knife Center posted a pic of a Native 5 lightweight with the cobalt blue scales and SPY27 steel. That wasn't in the reveal, so it looks like we'll have other models in the new steel to look forward to in the near future.

In the other thread about a Jester sprint run , Sal expressed his willingness to get one made:

We've already produced a green Jester. In order to make a new sprint, it would have to change from previous models (so as not to hurt the value of previous...

How do the Snap it Salt and the Salt 2 stack up against each other?

Well, maybe not really a fighting knife unless you want to argue about who gets to open the beer. For years I campaigned for a knife with a bottle opener; a real knife like a Spyderco with a 3.5 inch blade, the opening hole and the pocket clip....

As many will know, Sal talked about plans to bring out the whole Endura family in K390 steel.

Can anyone recall if this will be a regular production line or just sprint runs?

Thanx! :)

The biggest currently available non-locking Spydie folder is the UKPK. Was there ever a Spydie with slip-joint and a pointy blade that was a good part longer than 3 ? Say around 3,5 , like the PM2?

Who besides me would want one?

There have been a couple recent threads regarding an upcoming Forum 2020 knife with some predetermined choices to choose from...

I thought it would be fun to see where this would go if the arena was left wide open, sorta a no holds barred scenario ......

I only have one Spyderco in S30V, a regular manix 2, and after its first use the blade is chipped pretty substantially.

After buying the knife months ago the first use was this week cutting zip ties. I justed noticed that the blade is badly chipped....

For me, its 2 in the very immediate future
1. The Province- gotta have it!
2. The Respect - who really doesn't want one? :D

Statistics say that left handed population worldwide is approximately 10%.

As a left handed person, I am curious how many of those 10% would be prone to carry foldable or fixed blade knives, as left handers have also different regions of brain as...

I feel the Watu needs it’s own thread!

I’m so pumped for this one. I wish it wasn’t laminate cf, but the 20cv is a bonus!

What do y’all think?

Being a Huge fan of the Emerson Wave Opening Feature, I have several knives with it. From Spyderco, Emerson to Fox Knives, however my favorite for EDC is the Zero Tolerance 0620CF or 0630. They just seems to have the best all around features, premium...

I like this steel. It's easier to work with then Maxamet and Rex121

Takes a killer edge and seems to be more stable then s110v.

Heat treatment

1530f preheat 5min

Hello everyone. I'm Mike Blue. I mostly lurk here but after a discussion with Sal, I've been asked to post this subject and collect the thoughts of everyone willing to share.

Those of you who know Sal, may or may not know that he shaved with a straight...

Deacon had a good idea about the casual bombshells Sal drops in seemingly random threads: feel free to add them to this thread so we can see them in all there glory together:
entries get older until mid page two then back to recent
