It is valid feedback. Lots of people prefer G10 & liners.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:05 pmHaha, yes that is true! In terms of Spyderco knives, that Chief was my last one...which kind of shocked me once I realized how long ago that was now. Hence my whining in the other threads about the lack of G10/linered knives being released.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:01 pmThat list of CRK seems a bit bigger buddy !
So I blame Spyderco for forcing me to spend waaaaaaaaaaaay more money than I'd like, by venturing out to other brands.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I appreciate LW models and FRN but the fast and growing transition to rehashed models with swapped steels and ever more FRN is concerning.
I carry a knife with TI, G10 or CF scales 95% of the time...the LW models I pick up hold a more hypothetical space in my collection. Having a powerful cutting tool, in a super or rustproof steel and extremely lightweight package is neat...but in reality that's something I hardly ever require.
I derive a sense of pride from carrying well built tools, and the LW's just don't deliver in the same way in that respect. Surprising and neat, but not something I feel a need to collect...
In all honesty, FRN kept me away from Spyderco for nearly a decade because I thought they only made plastic knives. I feel like this is a pretty common view by many of the uninitiated knife public.

So it goes.
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I have to agree. Any time someone at work asks me what I'm carrying, they normally seem to be more interested or impressed by knives with Ti, G10, Micarta, CF scale materials compared to a knife with FRN. Granted any time I show someone the Matriarch, they are instantly impressed and question why I have something like that
I liked you're entire post, but wanted to comment on myself noticing the same thing multiple times in my own experiences.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Been wanting a “salt” line knife for a while now. I’ve been back and forth over every model seems like 100 times. I’ve also been enjoying my PM2’s a lot lately, but wanted a little more blade length. So I did the only thing that made sense to me and ordered a Caribbean Leaf PE. Should be here next week.
I picked up some rit dye to be ready for it when it arrives. Haven’t decided yet if it’s going to get the frost gray or the graphite. I don’t want it to be completely black, so I’ll probably go with the frost gray first.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Very logical decision Ranger! Post up some pics after you dye it, that is a tough debate on the color. Similar, yet different for sure.

While ordering the SE Z-Cut for my parents, I had to reach 50€ to get free shipping... So I added a Lil'Native
Went a bit over the 50€ but eh

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Really happy with the Lil'Native, I was expecting the BTE thickness to be too much. It's correct, won't be in a few sharpenings though .
That's totally alright for what this is gonna be used !
Really nice execution of the compression lock (backlock wasn't available)

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Crucarta PM2 finally showing up today
I hopped on knife center’s waiting list back before it was released and honestly didn’t care if it took months (and it did). Locked in the old $171 price point so that’s good enough for me.
It’ll be my first PM2
