Re: Biggest gap in the Spyderco lineup?
No worries…you’ve got a great combo for kayak fishing…I don’t have my Siren anymore(long story-don’t ask),but it’ll be replaced soon enough…was not afraid to carry it when I had it cause I tethered it to the boat…however I get what you’re saying about the Siren and Waterway cause I dropped my Spydiechef once in a trout stream and thankfully water was low and clear…now I carry a Pac salt lc pe/a Salt 2 wharnie lc se/and the Neko…good luck …

I'd love to see the Dyad come back, in gray G10.
Re: Biggest gap in the Spyderco lineup?
I'd like a smaller sheepsfoot knife. The Atlantic Salt is enormous and I find the blade style useful.
A small and thin knife from Golden would also be nice. Lil' Native LW might fit this, but I haven't seen the specs for that yet.

I'd like a bigger K390 (or similar) wharncliffe and there aren't any with a choil or minimal ricasso. A big dragonfly or a rockjumper K390 (which is thinner behind the edge) would be nice.
The chaparral fits this description to some degree.dsm wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 4:49 pm
- A thin, light, low-height EDC blade. Something in the 2.5"-3.5" blade length range would make sense. I love the Delica and enjoy my Para3 LW as well, but I think the Spydie-hole in both of these causes the knife to jut into the pocket too much in certain situations. I'm thinking of something like a thiner Smock with less choil and recessed liners.

Re: Biggest gap in the Spyderco lineup?
Honestly if they just made the manix 2’s design skinnier by 30% perhaps with a bit thinner blade stock or a hollow grind it would be a killer.nerdlock wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 6:54 pmdsm wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 4:49 pmI've been getting acquainted with the forum, and was inspired by Jazz's thread which led to the Delica wharnie (here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70607). In the spirit of that thread, what is an area of the current Spyderco lineup (i.e. not including retired models) that you think leaves something to be desired?
[*] A smaller knife with the BBL, like a mini-Manix 2 or Manix 2 LW. The Manix is a bit large for my use, but would still like to carry a BBL more frequently.

What do you think?
Another year, another thread of bumping up the Para3-sized Manix, to complement Spyderco's Military/Paramilitary2/Para3 lineup. Maybe this is the year that Eric will listen?

Re: Biggest gap in the Spyderco lineup?
I'd love to see something in the spirit of the Neko or the Benchmade 112, but with the Spyderco rustproofness and attention to ergonomics. Given that Sal has said in the past that sheepsfoot or blunt tip models don't sell terribly well, I don't know how likely it is, but it's certainly something I would like. The Gerber River Shorty is what I used when I did swiftwater rescue years ago and it's a great knife - the Neko was based on it I think - but it doesn't cut like H1 or LC200N would. The Swick might do it but I'm not quite ready to sacrifice the tip on my Swick 5.Coastal wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 12:30 pmI purchased the Ti blunt Neko last night.

Found the Ti version…just wish Sal would make one in magnacut w/a tiny trademark hole in the blade section
My kayak knives will now consist of the Ti Neko on my PFD, and a Pacific Salt loose in the boat. Lance wouldn't agree with this, but I consider my Waterway and Siren too valuable to risk over the side.
Re: Biggest gap in the Spyderco lineup?
The biggest gap you say? How about a utility style folding kiridashi with a single bevel. That is something Spyderco is missing!

Yes, agreed on the sheepsfoot and a thin Golden model. Agreed with the chaparral point, as well.vandelay wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 4:10 pmI'd like a smaller sheepsfoot knife. The Atlantic Salt is enormous and I find the blade style useful.
