Hi Folks- Long time lurker, first time poster- figured at this point I’d jump in:

Spyderco Subvert and my wife bought me a Caribbean at the HQ during an August trip to Denver. Glad to be here.

Welcome to the forum!

Wow, you got a lot of total cutting edge length with just two Spydies in 2025...

For me it's either the 15V military 2 or the SPY27 bodacious. If the bodacious was slightly longer there would be no contest, as I prefer larger blades. If the steel in the bod was more extreme it would probably also win, so fingers crossed for magnamax or being able to score the s90v

Thats my hope as well. Magnamax Bodacious or bust! (Okay okay, a 15V one would be good too)

Yah, I'd also "settle" for 15V

One Eyed Jack was this year If I'm not mistaken. But a few days before Christmas came the Fluted Ti N5 I've been chasing for a few years gives it GREAT competition !

:) Stretch Salt!

You inspired me, sal and Kristi! I am absolutely amazed and happy. Great knife.

I bought quite a few Spyderco Native Chiefs. But another favorite of mine is the Enuff 2, in K390. I just ordered a third one.

I think this was my only 2025 pick-up. So by default, my favorite. It is pretty fantastic!

Haha, well, it dawned on me the other day that after Sal had mentioned that there are two more unannounced Bodacious models in the works, that while everyone was ablaze with excitement about what new interesting 2 versions may be coming out (an exclusive, Salt, 15V, etc), me included, it could also simply include a LW BD1N version which to me isn’t nearly as exciting.


I think a 15V version could be as exciting, if not moreso, than the 15V Shaman. I’d probably end up getting two.

On the other hand, making contoured FRN handles shouldn't require more work than flat FRN, so maybe we could get a more comfortable handle to swap other steel blades into :D

Hasn't there already been a 15V Shaman, or am I imagining things??

Thanks Dan! I thought so, but then I was thinking...I haven't really seen any posted on the forum and questioned myself.

It is difficult to determine my favorite...
But the Balance is the biggest surprise, ever though the size is small.
An excellent knife in a convenient package!

Hands down my Green Knifeworks 204P Manix 2, and I’m about a 99% sure I got the very last one!

Spyderco knife of the year for me is the Dyad Jr. Nice slicey PE blade for fine cuts and the serrated blade for more heavy duty cutting. I carry it almost daily. I liked it so much I bought 2 more for Christmas gifts.
