I agree, that is a sweet combo.

The linerlock S90V/CF Millie is my number one but yeah, the Knifeworks exclusive is a close second

This, but with a backlock (or linerlock) ,would be so great.

If I published that info and folks went out and bought all of them up I'd be very bummed out. Keep the thread going for another month, and I'll tell you what I bought! I'll have both of these Spydercos within 30 to 60 days!!!!
Can I guess? Variants of the Native Chief, perhaps?? Are you waiting for the Magna NC, as I am?
Hahahahahahahahaha.... possibly 2 folders, one fixed blade. Yeppers, I'm also waiting for the Magnacut Native Chief and that would be 3 folders.
If I were in a trading room at the NYSE I'd be telling everyone, "SPYDERCO IS A STRONG BUY!"

Lil’ Native back lock with G-10 handles and S30v blade steel. All are proven and durable materials. S30v blade steel is well known and understood. Edge lasts for a while depending on cutting tasks and is easy to sharpen.

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
This one comes to mind, for me. PM2 is a great knife and 15V is one of my favorite steels. Top favorite for edge performance for my usage. I haven't been carrying it much lately because we're stuck in a very rainy weather pattern but I did get it out today.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.

It's so much lighter, and the contouring just melts into your hand. It also has a nice subtle texture. A pleasure to carry and use. I like the ugly onestoomanyquestions wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 10:01 pmI can guess, but would you describe what makes the AWT scales fabulous?
Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
Same here! I liked it so much I bought backups.
Make time for the important things in life, and learn to enjoy the little things more.

PM2 CruCarta.
If the Native 5 could be done as a CruCarta it would take 1st position. My fave N5s are the KC CruWear/Smooth Black G10 exclusives.
Would be nice if there were some N5 production version using CruWear.

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
Tried to give my general answer early on in this thread (viewtopic.php?p=1784013#p1784013), all shaped around the fact that my personal "single best configuration" just has to feature a serrated blade.
When it comes to PE though out of all Spydies I own and owned, here are my no. 1 (on top) and no. 2 best configurations...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
I just purchased 1 of the knives that I was considering.
I bought another M390 Spyderco Native Chief direct from Spyderco. I may buy another one in a couple of weeks.

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?
It could be one of two knives that are most likely to find their way into my pocket nowadays.
The first is an Endura K390 LW SE. I carry it most days. I can count on it to hack through anything that is hackable.
The other knife is the Stretch 2 XL CruWear. The plain edge is more sensible for many tasks, but I don't like the G10 as much as I like a bidirectional FRN.
The common features of these knives are the size and the back lock. Honestly, I like the CBBL better, but the Manix 2 is too small, and the Manix 2 XL is too pudgy. So if there was to be one Holy Grail knive, it would be either my Endura or Stretch.
