Personally Spyderco knives are becoming pocket hogs… no thanks.
Maybe Spyderco is not for you?
Just expressing my opinion. I'm not sorry it made you angry.

Personally, I would’ve preferred a blade length of 2.99” and a blade thickness of 0.1” for EDC.
Personally, I am sick of small knives. Spyderco has way, way too many pea shooter blades.

Quit downsizing everything.

Still eager to see the legend that has become the High Performance Delica. Here's to hoping its reveal sometime in 2024!
What is that?
Isn't k390 the "high performance delica?"

Re: Why Do Seki Models Have Lock Rock??!!

They have vertical rock because the blade when deployed is "stabilized" by the lock bar which is itself not fixed in place since it has to move to open and close the blade. Cold Steel nullifies this with the "triad" lock by placing a fixed stopping bar for the blade tang to rest ...

Re: 2023 - Did your preferences change or stay the same?

I moved away from the Endura to the Paramilitary because of the Endura's vertical blade play. I also came to love the very acute tip of the PM2. You think Spyderco would address the Endura vertical play issue somehow. I know others talked about this on the forum so far. That is really the only drawb...

I know it’s not in the list but any word on Maxamet Para 2’s? My buddy is looking for one and I can’t find one anywhere in stock even from them directly which he’d prefer because we get the Opfocus price which is significantly less. I have one and LOVE it and I’ve actually thought of getting a seco...

Re: Gotta rethink my hunting/gutting knife…S110V FAIL!

Am I going to run into the same problem with S90V and chipping? I have a Shaman in S30V and am really wondering if that's the way to go here. Yes on s90v....and s30v is hardly any "tougher" than S110V or S90V. The whole reason why s35vn happened is because people in the beginning deemed s...

Re: Gotta rethink my hunting/gutting knife…S110V FAIL!

I think a Shaman is the way to go. You will not see a meaningful difference between the Manix and the Shaman. The Manix is actually intended to be Spyderco's "folding prybar" knife or as close to it. What you are seeing is just the cost of high carbide steels. They are very brittle and de...

Re: Ok, there's something magic about 15V...

But the magic came with the touch up on my DMT Fine pocket hone. Diamond abrasives will easily sharpen anything. On a diamond stone/plate there is no difference between 15v and 1095. It's not just the hardness of the abrasive, at that grit the vanadium will just get scooped out. Regardless you woul...

Re: Spyderco Black Friday Map Holiday Sales 2023!

I did not buy a single Spyderco on BF. As I was scrolling through the sales I realized I've got all the Spydercos I want that have released save for the M2. No sense in buying something just to buy it. Rest of the year will be focusing on buying others presents. That is pretty much how I felt. Last...

Re: Maxamet sharpening is no joke.

Well it was finally time to sharpen the Sage 1 in Maxamet, it wasn't even that dull, just snagging a bit on paper. Even with DMT extra coarse, I spent near 4 hours getting a sharpish knife back to razor sharp, I wish someone would invent an abrasive harder than diamonds, because it almost feels lik...

"Deals" are pretty crap compared to last year where everything was 50% off. I'm glad I bought everything then. 

Goodluck with the inflation. I'm sitting this one out.
