I have plenty of HAP40 and don't really need another PM2 or Para 3 so I'll probably pass on those.

Lmao I am going to hold you to that quote when they get released :P

Rex45 Millie!

And the RENAMED Kapara and Subvert!

The year just got far more expensive.

Looks like it might be similar to M3 but with a pile of extra cobalt. I'm intrigued!

& Here's a screenshot comparison from zknives.

I already have the Mantra 3 on pre-order. Kapara & Drunken are calling to me! That Paysan has become a grail knife for me.

Rex 45 is a High Speed Steel. It isn't stainless, is it?

What does it compare to?

Hitachi HAP 40

Did Drunken Sinkevich copy Spdiechef? Who was first?

Ha! I've certainly been known to go back on my word when it comes to buying (or not buying) knives.

I'm really not a big fan of burnt orange either even though I carry my HAP40 Manbug or Dragonfly regularly. I also have a BNIB Stretch and a Wharnie Delica on pre-order. So..I guess burnt orange isn't so bad afterall.

I am a huge fan of any knife that allows room for the fingers underneath the belly of the knife. The more the merrier.

Oh, dang. That makes me a bit less intrigued. I already have a Caly and Delica in Hap40. Thanks for the info.

And it's not cladded.

That was my first thought, but then I noticed that it doesn't look like these new ones are laminated, and I've been wishing for non-laminated Hap40 since I got the Delica and Caly versions. I'm back to being intrigued. :D

I’m actually most interested in the autonomy 2.

You just had to go and point that out! :D

Amazing mid year catalog! Way to go Spyderco! I am still going to wait for the RedBack. I don’t see any that I absolutely must have at the moment, unless I win the lottery anytime soon haha.

Those Rex 45’s are a surprise. Want to try the un-clad steel. Lots of Taiwan models and collaborations. Looks good.

Must haves:

REX45 Military
Province
Bow River
Autonomy2


Some of the folder collaborations look great but they are mostly out of my reach.

The text on the Subvert has the thickness listed as 3mm. instead of 4.

Wow so much want. Drunken looks like what I wanted out of the spydiechef, with contouring and texture to boot.

They're very similar. It would be interesting to compare the feel of the handles.The blade stock is thicker and the blade height shorter on the Drunken, so I bet it's thicker behind the edge compared to the SpydieChef.
