Spyderco Forums

Their catalog is not immune to redundancy. The most recent discontinued list is proof of that. This knife would require the use of resources and catalog space that I would rather see used for something less redundant. In my opinion, “Because I want it” hardly seems convincing enough to justify the ...

It is not enough to just remember. After 22 years, there is an entire generation for whom the whole thing is just a page in a history book, no more real than the Pelopennesian War. Yes, it happened, but they weren't there to see it. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Our vigilance lapsed th...

If you lined up the native chief, shaman, native 5, and Lil native sided by side, you'd see there is definitely room for one more. I don't know why some people are against the idea. It's not like you have to buy one if they make it. If there's enough of a demand, they may very well make one. If they...

I have a bias against the Para 3 Never tried one, no interest. Just seems to me to be the shorter Paramilitary 2. That’s the only reason. I have a lot of 3ish Inch knives as is. But, I also had a bias against the Native 5 until I tried one, so; never say never. I thought the exact same thing until ...

Not sure about the lil native but the Native 5 is very easy to take apart and probably the best way to go for you. I am sure there are a ton of online videos to show you how. Like the above posts something is probably just stuck in there. The lil native g10 at least should be very easy to disassemb...

These threads die fast

Well the grumpy old timers here like to shake their canes at you if you make a comment that doesn't follow their idea of what a proper comment should be, so that's how threads die.

They wouldnt be grumpy if they fly fished

What exactly is "model standard"?

EDIT: Maybe this will help...

Whatever the "default" blade style is for any given model

Amen

Before anyone here get their panties in a bunch... This is JUST FOR FUN! I'm just curious as to the prevailing opinion, nothing more. This poll isn't trying to accomplish anything else whatsoever. If it annoys you some reason, then move on to the next post

And the first year the American pResident didn't attend. Shameful.

There's several been several threads about people 3D printing knife stuff. At least a couple threads on scales. A couple of the guys have even posted their scales on Thingiverse. Use the search function and you should be able to find the threads I'm referring to. 3D printed scales aren't really my ...

Rotating my UTs lately

That is one killer collection!!! I really want a UTX 85

No go in my current state. But once I move to a real state, I plan on getting more than a couple of these.

I think I read somewhere that you wanted to try a Salt Series knife, so you could bet two birds stoned at once and try a SALT 2 or a Pacific Salt 2? The Delica, Endela, and Endura are worth learning to love! They’re great knives - no frills, utilitarian, GSD type of knives. Maybe you can learn to l...

Just curious! I have two printers (Filament and resin) and was wondering if anyone had any luck printing scales or other accessories. I imagine there's the given weakness of PLA and other softer materials to consider but maybe I'm wrong. I was thinking as long as they have liners it may not be too b...

I've carried & used every version since it came out - Delica Family. The Delica, for me, is a perfect blend of fit, function, and affordability. I love the Caly 3, but it's not as easy to replace. The Rhino has become one of my favorite Spyderco knives, but sadly discontinued. Among currently p...

There's this one very old model called "the squatter" that I've had in my wallet for about 3 years now. It's flimsy and wobbly, has absolutely NO edge, is on the verge of falling apart, and keeps destroying all the money in my wallet. It's definitely chinese even though it's claims to be m...

BBQ has DLC, SE, and combo edges all on preorder. I know others have said they're just placeholders and don't guarantee anything, but I found that hard to believe. I'd say go there now and place your preorder. It's only $5 and it's refundable. What have you got to lose?
