Re: Para 3 lightweight anticipation
Their tools, not toys for adults. Especially this LW model. Nothing pretty or fancy, put out at a great price with a fairly high sought after steel, begging to be used. Sure it's a bonus if it opens/closes with ease. But certainly not a make or break decision when it comes to buying one.

Tools and toys, else why do we have so many?

Re: Para 3 lightweight anticipation
Nope, I'm not going down that lane again these days. Just saying I don't think the flickyness of a knife should be the factor in deciding whether or not to purchase a model. That's all.

Re: Para 3 lightweight anticipation
All things being equal I’d chose the knife that opens and closes easily over the one that doesn’t. And besides that, nothing wrong with having a little fun. :D

Re: Para 3 lightweight anticipation
Of course I also prefer the same, but if I never ventured outside of those thoughts, I would have never bought my current, favorite slicer in the Delica Pakkawood! Not as fun as other knives, but man I love that knife. Thinner blade than the standard Delica!Liquid Cobra wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 8:52 amAll things being equal I’d chose the knife that opens and closes easily over the one that doesn’t.

Re: Para 3 lightweight anticipation
You are absolutely correct. In my quote above, about the Delica Pakkawood...that's what I was getting at with my original post. I'd hate for someone to miss out on a fantastic model that could check all the other boxes for them, besides maybe the fun factor, which could become less of a "perk" in the knife compared to the other qualities you may find in it.Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 8:53 amEveryone is entitled to their own opinions tho and shouldn't be admonished for them.

I get so much more enjoyment out of the slow-roll opening of a knife but to each their own!curlyhairedboy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 9:10 amflickability might be a single factor among many when considering a knife :D
I am carrying an Opinel today to pair with an E4SS and I am really enjoying it despite not having any modern features.
Re: Para 3 lightweight anticipation
It could be, if flickability is what a person is looking for in a knife? Theres lots of people out there mate, with vastly differing wants and needs.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 6:43 amTheir tools, not toys for adults. Especially this LW model.

But certainly not a make or break decision when it comes to buying one.
Also, the majority of knives I own are absolutely toys for adults. If my knife purchases were based purely on utilitarian need, I would have probably 2.
Anyway, I personally would love to see pb washers on this rig. I’ll get one regardless though.
Re: Para 3 lightweight anticipation
Any official Spyderco word on PB washers ??

If you're into knives who cares why? Only if you use your knives as tools like an old man can you have knives

Please clarify the “old man” part. I’m an old man (76) so I’m curious, not being sarcastic or anything.koenigsegg wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 8:56 amIf you're into knives who cares why? Only if you use your knives as tools like an old man can you have knives
