Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

The first time I switched a modded Spyderco back to original. Scales and detent. Still love the Smock!

Re: What are these marks on the inside of the scales?

That is a fun detail. Probably it will be either something with the manufactering proces or it could also be an assambly worker putting pride in to his work.

Re: What are these marks on the inside of the scales?

A bit off topic but I have a Yugoslavian Mauser from 1965 brand new right out of the crate. When I cleaned the cosmoline off, I found some handwriting on the stock and a lot of the wood parts had serial numbers written in pencil. The wood parts had the serial numbers stamped on after but were writt...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?

Tough one! The Milie or mPM2 in s90v and CF would be it for me. The Milie is very light (especially for it's size), has excellent balance, strong, rigid, light scales and that excellent s90v blade that keeps an edge for a long time. Probably go for the Milie! https://i.postimg.cc/Rh7pWWwB/20240522-1...

What are these marks on the inside of the scales?

With most knives, I opened up the Chaparral Sun & Moon to have a look inside. Both scales have similar markings in them that look to read "55". Part of the mould used for the G10? Never seen this in the 25+ different models of Spyderco I disassembled. Is it indeed reading "55"...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

The Chaparral Sun&Moon before they are all gone. For anyone interested, there is a Chap in birdseye maple still for sale at Knife Lounge in DE. This one is discontinued as well.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???

https://i.postimg.cc/x15szn3Q/IMG-1244.jpg It’s very new to the collection, but I’ve been absolutely loving this Ferrum Forge Archbishop 3.0, it’s a great size, surprisingly not that heavy, and feels absolutely incredible in hand. Plus, it’s a beautiful knife too. It might be a little early for me ...

Re: Gayle Bradley 2 CQI?

I would also like the access to the linerlock to be improved. I did that improvement myself on the GB2, but want to keep the GB1 original as it's discontinued. This has been discussed since the GB was first released. I don't think they're going to change it at this point. They're really not that di...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native

A bit painful as I just lost my lil Native. For me these are very different knives. The lil native punches above it's weight with a thicker blade than the DF and I can just get a four finger grip on it using the choil. This makes it usefull for more hard use tasks. The blade being thicker but still ...

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?

Is the Kapara really overlooked? In terms of sales? I find it one of the better colabs Spyderco has done. Great slicer, light weight and very nice ergo's. I would prefer a bit stronger detent and a bit larger area
to access the compression lock.
