What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

The superb Endura4.

Had I acquired it early on, I don’t know that I would now have so many Spydie models (≠variants).

Yes, it’s time to change out the dressing on the Spyderbite that my new pink Manix2 exclusive gave me while I admired the hollowed contours of its blade.

I keep trying to ignore Watu pictures, telling myself no no no ! I’m failing ! Nice picture Mikey . MG2

Thanks, MG2. I also took a while to warm up to the Watu, as its looks didn't immediately appeal to me.

But as with many Spyderco designs, holding it in hand made it one of my favorites.

Manix 2 in SPY27

A new favorite of mine. Such a great knife and steel. My top rotation.

On the way skitouring with the Salt 2.

Nice, sunny ascent, then skiing downhill in pretty fresh powder where the red line is in the background.

Life is good.

Gernot, you went down the mountain let alone up it where the red line is?

Cerberus scales. I’ve had these Jade-G 10 scales for a while. Dyed them dark blue yesterday. The translucent quality is kinda nice.

These scales are modeled after Strider handles, they give a lot more finger real estate.

I have that Strider love without the Strider pain in my wallet (or so I tell myself.)

We need more pictures, that’s a sweet knife . MG2

I plan to do that after I get more time with the Siren . Truthfully they both have fine qualities. I had both in garage playing around with them this afternoon. I hope to post a comparison shot tomorrow Siren Vs. Large Goddard gray frn . The handles are similar which I fine interesting. MG2

Not to step on MG2's toes, but this thread has some comparisons between the Pacific Salt, Siren and Native Chief.

They're all about the same size closed, but offer pretty different things.

Pacific Salt is the lightest, cheapest, and IMO in H1 PE the toughest.

Siren has the grippiest handle, a nice low profile wire clip, an edge that goes all the way to the handle, and feels a cut above the Pacific in terms of overall fit and finish and how nice it is.

Chief for me has the best ergos of the three, best blade shape, thinnest BTE from factory and some pretty awesome steel choices.

Once I get my new Siren I plan to let the Chief and Siren dominate my EDC.

Until then I've been carrying my Military every day at work and using the Chief for chores around the house.

Sure, downhill where the line is, but of course on powderskies (not on foot), so no problem (as long as one can calculate the avalanche-risk).
Up to the top of that mountain on a less steep, more convenient and sunnier route though.

I like the steel,
I like the ergonomics (well, nothing is perfect)
and this handle color is amazing - one of my favorites.

No worries vivi , actually thank you . I really think you have said just about everything I would say . Just my opinion I think the Pacific may have the strongest tip of the three from a hard user stand point . Thanks for imput , tomorrow I can move on to other projects. MG2

That is amazing. Our Appalachian mountains look like hills compared to that.

I really like the color too. It is unique. I really wish the Native 5 SPY27 was the same color.

Poor guy , I checked elevation in my county in Illinois , I had been told of a spot that was supposed to be the highest in the county . They were correct on the map I checked out of curiosity, a whooping 830ft above sea level . No wonder I get such terrific headaches in Colorado. MG2

Thanks Dan. It’s an interesting handle design for sure. I like how the knife is almost a deep carry with this handle design… it’s really easy to pull out of the pocket too.

I look at Arizona custom knives… I just can’t see myself paying grand for a knife when 200-300 dollar knives make me happy. I haven’t gone that far down the rabbit hole.

I completely understand, I have a friend who is a new member here that has a left hand Strider ( rare ) . I asked him years ago how he liked it . He said it worked great cleaning out his gutters ! I look at Arizona Custom too , once in a while there might be a good price on a knife but usually can be higher than my budget and common sense will allow . Thank you for sharing another picture , I like those scales . MG2

That is a really cool mod. Looks like the ergos are much better. I do like some translucent scales.
