And this is why the folks at Spyderco keep winning: SpyNano review

#1

Post by onewordnohyphen »

Received the knife today and have been inspecting it, fidgeting it, cut some paper... My conclusion: it's one of the best EDC knifes under $250 that punches way above its weight.
  • Finely machined Ti framelock with beautiful finish - check
    German powder metallurgy steel blade - check
    Stylish green micarta show scale with good grip and a promise of a beautiful patina - check
    Italian craftsmanship - check
    Sharp out of the box - check
    Convenient deep carry clip - checck
    Well tuned detent for multiple opening options - check
    Sub 3 inch so legal across many states - check
    Good belly on the blade - check
    Practical grind - check
Really, the only thing that's missing that would make it a perfect EDC right out of the box is an added lanyard, preferably with a comfortable bead, that would serve as a handle extension.
And dropping this made in EU greatness as a flash batch right when all they talk about is tariffs at a very reasonable price given the premium feel (on par with Drunken in my books) -- chef's kiss :* That's how you make a product that sells out despite the market conditions as they are.
To the folks in Spyderco product development, sales, and supply chain - I apologize, I was not familiar with your game, well done, Spyderco, well done!

As I was typing this reply, I realized that the OP may have been talking about being sold out in Europe.

In any case, the SpyNano is still in stock at the folowing dealers, and probably others that I didn't bother to check.

I don't want to rain on your parade but... just wait for the WolfMouse ;) That one is going to be a hit for Spyderco IMO.

Thanks for the comparison photos. Would you say the SpyNano is a better slicer than the SpyMyto, or do they perform about the same?

As much as I love Spydies (my collection is about 70-80% Spydercos), this time I have to confess I betrayed Spyderco:

I've preferred to choose the original LionSteel Nano, same style Green Micarta and Titanium frame.

No regrets, it's gorgeous for everything, and in Europe it costs way less than the SpyNano. This time not having the beloved Spydie hole it's better :-)))
