Good choice! PE or SE? I started with a PE last November, and will have a SE on Friday! I dragged my feet and missed the Rockjumper, but made sure I got both Leafjumpers!Infinite Zero wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2025 1:43 pmVG10 Leafjumper is on the way. Didn’t want to miss out after handling my son’s.

PE. I’ve never warmed up to serrations, though I may try again with the Chap at some point.Aladinsane wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 1:25 pmGood choice! PE or SE?

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
That’s cool. This will be my first SE. If I like it even a little bit, I’ll be getting a Chaparral SE next. I figured I could try it out on a discounted Leafjumper before paying more on a Chaparral!Infinite Zero wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 1:36 pmPE.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I'm stretched pretty thin right now, told myself no purchases for awhile after the BBB Military, but I did cave and now have a BHQ Lum Tanto M390 on the way.
Going back to Caly.

Great choice. One of the few Spydies with a compound grind. The satin blade really shows it off.SpeedHoles wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2025 4:38 pmI'm stretched pretty thin right now, told myself no purchases for awhile after the BBB Military, but I did cave and now have a BHQ Lum Tanto M390 on the way.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Thanks. And yep, I'm typically not much of a tanto user these days, but the blade looks great. Seeing this one available, and then considering this current forum knife runoff in the back of my head for example, I was like you know what, this Lum is like something exactly I'd ask for to be re-made... and maybe not everyone would agree, so it's cool it is! And since it is a reality, I've gotta grab one while there's a chance. That was my approach to blowing money when I shouldn't be hahariclaw wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 11:52 amGreat choice.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Well....I no longer have any Spydercos in the mail. My Sage 5 Salt finally arrived.
The Sage 5 is so similar to the Native 5 I recently acquired, it may take quite a while to determine which I like better, if that is even possible.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Nice. Curious to hear your perception of PD#1 vs Cruwear. Or have you had it before?
I was lightly browsing the SE Police K390 recently... didn't pull the trigger.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I just received 2 Spyderco Lum Tanto knives, fixed blades. Blade length is right around 4+ inches. They look very stout, steel is VG-10, beautiful knives. These can definitely be used for self defense.
From BladeArt.com I received the Lum Tanto with Burgundy Paper grips.

From Country Knives I received a Spyderco, FB03GPBKGR, Lum Tanto - Forest Green / Black G-10.
https://www.countryknives.com/shop-by-d ... lack-g-10/
Country Knives initially sent me a Lum with a Spyderco Collectors Number on it, I returned it and they exchanged it for one without any additional engravings. They were very nice to me when dealing with my issue.

Wow, you really grabbed those, nice!

Very cool. Those are some deep classics. Beautiful. Far out of my reach at this point though.

I appreciate the tip! These I will keep, probably for ever. They are really nice.
I had a really nice 6 inch dagger by a South African bladesmith for $800. I did not want to get rid of it, but I felt that I was in a bind. I did not lose any money on the sale, but I did have to wait 9 months for the knife to be made.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Yeah that's what I'm getting at, seeing your extensive use and sharpening of Cruwear, wondering if it'll basically be indecipherable between the two as elementally it should be... Or if you'll notice any differences first hand.vivi wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2025 5:37 pmI have used cruwear but not PD1.SpeedHoles wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2025 4:34 pmNice.
