What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

[prndltech]

Still stuck on this endela

Love the shot with the energy drink! Glad I’m not the only one who takes photos of the two

I have a Nespresso vertuo machine and normally have a double shot of espresso before heading to the office but I was out and it wasn’t delivered in time so I had to come up with a backup plan

Very long, and tough week. Hardest loss of my life. Seeing family I haven't seen in many years, as well as my 95 year old Gram, and being there for her meant the world to me.

RIP to your grandad and may I just say that that is one of the most touching funeral cards that I have ever seen. Condolences man.

Sorry for you loss Rick, I’m sure your Grandpa was a great man. Glad you could be there for her.

S2 again for me today

Scale of 1-10, where a 10 is a Sebenza and a 1 is this thing, how much does the Sage 2 feel like a Sebenza?

[JSumm]

I'm so sorry Rick. That is painful man.

So much of this is opinion based. Having owned several of each over the years, I would say 3/10.

1 for s30v (at the time they both used it)
1 for titanium
1 for the RIL

and that’s where the similarities end IMO. The handle shape is different, the blade grind and shape is different, the clip is different, the opening method is different, the lock bar tension and action is different. It doesn’t feel much like a sebenza and a sebenza doesn’t feel much like a sage 2. That being said, if I were to track one of the 2 down again, id go with a sage 2 because I know myself and I prefer the thumb hole.

I know you didn’t ask me, but thought I’d share




Rick, sorry for your loss bro.

Thanks fella's, appreciate it. Means a lot!

The Lil Matriarch is going on 18 months of daily carry. I gave the Rex45 Chief a break after about the same amount of pocket time.

Definitely appreciate your feedback!

I think I’m especially curious on the action and the lockup. This could probably change a fair amount from model, but my hope is that it’s very solid, like a Sebenza. I should probably go watch some YouTube videos.

Great to see you back!
Love those scales on that Lil Matriarch, did you make them?
That's a long stretch for daily carry

I would say 3/10...

I'd bump that up to a 4 due to disassembly/maintenance. Chris Reeve was pretty famous (at one point anyways) for encouraging their users to disassemble their knives. They even included the tools to do so.

I don't know what the Spyderco warranty was at the time of release, but I assume it is not as friendly as it is today. I have yet to come across a Spyderco that is as easy to disassemble as the Sage 2*. You need only a T8 driver, and there are three screws. There are no "tricks" to assembly like I find with Seki FRN. All of the standoffs are d-shaped, and the list goes on.

I haven't owned a Sebenza, but there seems to be a lot of thought regarding the Sage 2 and disassembly/maintenance. The two seem fairly similar in that regard.

* The Native 5 LW looks dead simple too, but I haven't owned one.

Sorry for your loss, Rick. Hope you had a memorable time with your family.

I didn't make them, and honestly my old man brain can't remember the forum member who did. He made scales in that gator texture for a few members here in the 2010-2015 Era. I believe he did D4/E4 patterns only. As for the carry, I always prefer a big blade and a small. One SE & one PE. 2 is 1, 1 is none.

My new to me Stretch 2 in G-10 and ZDP-189. The edge on this is very nice.

Shabaria today. This one would have been an interesting candidate for the CruWear/Grey 10 combo.

Always loved the blade . Nice picture too . MG2

Thanks, MG! It’s a very unique blade shape and a really fun one to carry!
