Reveal 11 Live!

[Burton Knut]

It’s been a couple Reveals since I was excited, but this one has a few I’ll be looking forward to...

Stretch XL, Manix (only bc of the heat treat as typically a steel like 15V, or even 10V, would be too extreme for my tastes) and maybe a SpyOpera. Throw in a bandana and blue bug hat for good measure!

Hi Kemp, Clinton,

Welcome to our forum.

Lil' Native CPM-S30V Wharncliffe Black G-10 at $142.45 is a great one!

Manix2 CPM-15V Brown G-10 at $157.50 is another great one!

Stretch2 XL CRU-WEAR Gray G-10 at $284.55 is absurd and that's the problem with folders from Japan other than mostly Lightweight FRN models!

Lil' Temperance VG-10 FRN is priced too high at $176.40 when the LeafJumper VG-10 FRN is $92.05 and both have stainless steel liners and are made in Japan.

SpyOpera Damasteel DS93X CF at $406.00 is priced too high but it's extremely nice! I got my SpyOpera M390 Micarta last year for $157.50!

i'm guessing it's more expensive to machine a comp lock?

Most exciting reveal since I started on this forum! That Stretch XL is a must have… and that Siren! Wow, I feel like they have outdone themselves this time.

Lil' Native Compression Lock is $142.45 whereas Lil' Native Lockback is $150.15.

That lil native wharnie kinda makes me want to see a hawkbill version someday.

Okay, that Stretch price is a bit much, but I may not be able to resist. The SpyOpera may have become a pass too. There’s still the Manix and Spydie swag though so not a complete buzz kill.

[bearfacedkiller]

Very cool!

The StretchXL is awesome and what I have been waiting for but at that price I’m gonna pass. I’ll wait for an frn sprint or some k390.

The 15V Manix is incredible. I really really hope I get one. I hope they made a lot.

Happy to see another bandana. I’ll grab a couple.

[ladybug93]

i was hoping for a pacific salt wharncliffe and/or a stretch xl salt. k390 and cruwear is the opposite direction.

the leafjumper looks cool, but i was also hoping it would be released as a salt. i really think vg10 is hurting the rockjumper more than the design. the leafjumper could be the delica killer too, but i prefer something other than vg10. still, i like the blade angle and it almost reminds me of a manix without a choil and with a more neutral grip.

the manix surprised me. for one, we haven't been seeing many g10 manixes, but also, isn't this the same color as the m390 manix? i thought that wasn't allowed. i guess i need to do some studying about 15v now, but i think i'll be able to pass. i prefer toughness to hardness.

the shot glass is pretty cool, since i'm obviously a fan of the ladybug and lc200n, but i don't drink either, so it's a little lost on me.

i have a feeling i'll really like the lil temp lw, but i'll have to get it in hand. i like the comp lock, but the leafjumper might beat it out anyway for the cost and overall design.

Here are all the knife prices in convenient image form! Prices shown are MSRP. MAP is 70% of that.

Way to go Shawn Houston! Named in the Spyderco Reveal 11 as the designer of the 15V heat-treat protocol. Congratulations!

I'm hoping that this Spyderco knife hits it out of the park and we see more 15V. Like maybe the Native Chief?

I like big knives, I cannot lie. The Stretch 2 XL looks good to me.

[austrian_spyder_fan]

Some really cool knifes.
I'm a little bit afraid of prices in Europe.

I agree that the RockJumper and LeafJumper beg to have a Salt variation since due to their use they'll be exposed to the elements.

The LeafJumper can't be a Delica killer because the blade length is 3.09" and makes it illegal in those jurisdictions where the blade length is limited to under 3 inches.

[aicolainen]

I had some hope they would cram some more blade into the leafjumper handle compared to the rockjumper. I guess they did, but 0.25mm seems more like a rounding error than actual added blade length.

[Chleiti]

I wonder if there's any chance of that Velcro patch from the backpack being sold on its own, or maybe there might be additional collectible patches to come? I really don't need any more bags but I'd love to get some Spyderco patches for some of my current gear.

[BearShark44]

LeafJumper looks like a winner for a small outdoor folder.
Any chance it might get a sprint run steel at some point?

[panth74]

Possible to pre-order the 15v manix anywhere yet?

I’m not understanding the high price on the Temperance.

[mtb]

Looking forward to the 15V Manix 2!

[defenestrate]

Definitely want the cruwear stretch 2 xl, the lil temp lightweight and the 15V Manix 2. I got spoiled getting a silly low price on my G10 lil temp (someone on amazon was selling it for under 120 bucks for about a year, great knives) but I'm definitely interesteed. I don't think I'm willing to plunk down the money on the spyopera but it looks great and I do like the standard one quite a bit so who knows?

Vanquest makes really nice gear. I bought the 17" messenger bag and it's great.
