Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
As far as dimensions, I compared one of my chiefs to my endura and eyeballing it, it looks like the chief has about 5-6mm more blade but at least half of that is choil, probably only 2-3mm more edge. The chief also looked 2-3mm longer closed. Close enough that it would be difficult for me to tell t...

Re: Where Have all the Calys Gone?
Well, I have a Caly 3, a 3.5, and a Centofante 3&4 as well as a few current production folders (well, maybe more than a few). What would you like to see compared? I was thinking of the Caly's and Centofante's along side current spyderco models such as the para 3, endura, stretch 2, delica, etc....

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
Thank you. The chief blade is not as tall as I imagined it to be and that’s a good thing for pocket carry. What a beautiful clean blade shape . when it folds up it's more compact than most other models in its size range too. Here is that same set when closed. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/534...

Re: Knife & Watch
That looks great, Dan! But, you have me rethinking the new Sage 5 LW. That "Chap with a real lanyard hole" looks very tempting.

Re: Maxamet Sage 5 LW Discussions
I was originally planning to skip this one, but am now rethinking it. I don't have a Sage, don't have Maxamet, and don't have this pattern FRN. Hmmm.

I won’t post anymore. don't do that. I agree. For one, I'm glad you posted your experience. It's good for us to be reminded that no person (or company) is perfect and that mistakes can happen.

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
I am curious to see some comparison pictures of the lightweight chief next to similar sized spydies like the endura, mili, Caribbean etc. While my Chief is not LW, this is a comparison I can make of similar sized knives to those mentioned: Chief, Stretch 2 XL, Endura, Caribbean, PM2 https://live.st...

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
How do you like your M390 Chief? I like it. As expected, it's a decent slicer. Mine is still on the factory edge. With kind of low usage, it hasn't needed a sharpening yet. It's a nice change to not always have the thumb ramp. My usual carry have a bit smaller blade, but this makes a good backup in...

Re: Where Have all the Calys Gone?
For yet another comparison, here is a Caly 3.5 along with a bunch of different Spydies. If you need some isolated comparisons of any of these, let me know.

Re: Gayle Bradley 2 Cru-Wear vs Gayle Bradley 2 M4
The CF on the GB2 is closer to the Watu's CF. Slightly smoother and glossier than others. Not slick, but not as grippy as G10 either. Personally, for CF I prefer something similar to the Smock or Sliverax that has a sharper texture and less gloss. Thanks for that comparison. I had been wondering ab...

Re: A copper spyderco
I like the bare copper since it will change a lot with use. These are all the same Blade HQ PM2. Current rolling back to when it first started changing. ... That's a cool progression. Thanks for showing it. If the weight of full copper is an issue, could there be a copper clad material? That would ...

Re: You Don’t Know What You Got ’Til It’s Gone
Just sharing for fun, I attempted to sketch design a temperance, after about an hour of refining here’s what it currently looks like. I added a bolster on mine, what do you all think? A bolstered temp ? I think that would be cool. Very nicely done. Just wondering... Since there is a bolster, perhap...

Re: A copper spyderco
Folks know there's copper in this right? https://www.spyderco.com/pix/products/large/C152RN_L.jpg That's what I first thought of also. The Raffir Noble has the brass and copper mesh in it. However, if you look at the (top) open image, the handle has a lot of dark in it and, perhaps, not enough 'cop...

Re: Next Spyderco?
After a bit of pondering, here is my queue for what might be next (until I change my mind again). :rofl In no particular order... Sliverax - It looks interesting enough to try it before it disappears. I like the handle forward look and don't mind flippers. Fidget friendly is nice. Lil' Native warnie...

Re: Next Spyderco?
Linerlock? Military or GB2. That is a some of my gaps there. Linerlock, hollow ground blade, and maybe some different steels. So, I've been pondering the GB2. But, I'm still thinking about the upcoming Bodacious also. Perhaps I need more than one more. :winking-tongue I don't see a framelock or CTS...

Re: Next Spyderco?
the green areas are translucent but the black areas are not. They're black, even held up to a light. Thanks for confirming. I'll consider the jade GB2 knowing I can black it out if desired. The Sliverax mentioned before is another possible and I'm considering a few others as well, Cricket SE, Yojim...

Re: Mystery Box
Wasn't the two knife mystery box like $250? If so I doubt they'll have a Paysan or Drunken. Both of those were $315 each Was there a mention of both knives being at the same level? I don't remember that. If not, it's possible for there to be one second of a higher level knife along with another sec...
