Re: Show your Vegetable Gardens and Harvests

This thread is inspiring me to want to plant a little garden. Something satisfying about producing your own food.

Your favorite exclusives

What is your favorite dealer exclusive combo? For my it’s the St Knicks red and coated 4v. I have them all save the Delica. As much as I like to think that I’m all about function, I’m into the color scheme and like that they have offered some more off the beaten path models like the jester and the G...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

I have a number of PM2s and have been carrying a PM2 more than anything else lately. A salt PM2 has been something I wished existed for a little g time. I hope to pick one up at some point.

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale Scores

I also ordered the serrated ark and got a plain edge too. I’m not real happy. I too only ordered the SE because it’s discontinued. The plain edge ark second sans sheath was not a particularly good deal at $63 when you can get a new one with sheath for under $83. I tried to contact customer service ...

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale Scores

I’ve received my order today. :smlling-eyes Lil’ Native slipjoint. Aqua Salt SE and ARK. The lock bar on the ‘Native stands a little proud approx. .5mm. Not a problem for me. Very nice, chunkier than I imagined. The Aqua I honestly cannot see where the fault is… my first time handling one, I see wh...

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale Scores

2 knife mystery box: Bow River tan and OD w/o a sheath Fat carbon red lava M4 pm2 (I believe that was a SMKW exclusive). The promo video indicated the mystery boxes would be different knives than what was offered in the sale. The different colored handle on the bow River is what I suppose makes it d...

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale Scores

That’s the issue I have with too many boxes. At the seconds sale lil native $75, para3 lw $45 = $120. Not cool. I get 4 two knife boxes hoping for the best expecting the worst. The para 3 LW was $60, $58 for the serrated edge. The standard lil native lock back was $68. So those two would have been ...

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Got my SE Ayoob. Unlike many of the knives I got in the 2020 seconds sale where I had to look for hard for any issues, this years knives, including the Ayoob are all pretty obvious. As for the Ayoob after a quick look over it appears that the grind is kind of funky all around. It’s not very clean at...

Re: Seconds Sale Oddities - Receive anything weird to share? I did!

The weird thing I received was the wrong knife. I ordered an ARK spyderedge. The paper work that came in the box says “ARK Black FRN SpyderEdge (Without Sheath) - SpyderEdge - …” I double checked the email order confirmation, it states SpyderEdge. I understood SpyderEdge to mean a serrated edge. I j...

Re: Interest in Front Flipper by Spyderco?

Oh man. I picked up a Civivi Exarch a few months ago. Small, g10, D2 steel, it's nothing to write home about. Cost me $35. But oh boy does it get pocket time, and it's all because it is such an amazingly satisfying knife. The size and feel of the flipper tab is perfect, action is so smooth, it has ...

Re: Spyderco Online Factory Seconds Sale!

After how badly the last online seconds sale went, I never thought spyderco would do another one. When I saw this announced, I thought they would probably take the lessons learned from the last one and that this time things would be better. On my end, this was surprisingly significantly worse. Gener...

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

I was fortunate to recently find one in stock. I was surprised and quickly bought it. It was a plain edge and I’d have preferred a SE but at this stage in the game it was get what was available. Wow!! Nice Find!! Was it a dealer here in the USA where you found it? I do believe that there are probab...

Re: *Spydie Summer Sale 2023*

I picked up a subway Bowie. I like small fixed blades and look forward to getting it. I also snagged a Tasman. I hope it will fill a little of void left when my much loved, carried and used pac salt was either lost or stolen. I look forward to having some more serrated H1 and trying out a hawkbill b...

Re: Your running knife?

Spyderco ARK. I find the little neck knife less obtrusive when running than an iwb knife. I had another stainless steel knife that was still getting some corrosion from running duty. There is no issue with the H1 ARK. I can just wear it shower after and it’s all cleaned off too. By far my favorite n...
