Re: Chief vs Stretch XL for fishing knife?
What we really need is a siren with yellow or green G10 and Magnacut..! ... Almost perfect, but make it FRN instead of G10... ;) (and add an SE option!) FRN for a Siren XL Slim model, and G10 for new and improved magnacut Siren. I’m not a big fan of serrations, personally, but if Spyderco made both...

Re: Chief vs Stretch XL for fishing knife?
I think there is a place for H1/H2 in PE and a reason why folks might choose it over LC200N (and Magnacut): - It actually "only" falls behind in edge retention (and perhaps even not that much compared to LC?), but seems to be better both in toughness and corrosion resistance (for those wh...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
Used mine for the first time today. Didn’t really use it much on the water but cleaned some decent fish with it when I got in. Man, what a great little design this is! Felt very capable as a small fillet. Serrations are completely out of the way when filleting (at least the way I work) but came in h...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2
Finally picked one of these up. Has anyone taken theirs apart? Looks like they finally upgraded the detent ball to ceramic. Makes sense for the Salt (but makes sense for all of them..) https://i.postimg.cc/pLrRrkfM/PXL-20240430-201435458.jpg Thanks for the update. Do we have any update or confirmat...

The greatest mail call ever??
For me, i think it is. Well, maybe receiving the first Siren and Waterway topped this but nothing else! I haven’t felt this kind of excitement over a new knife in YEARS! https://i.imgur.com/UAVn3Tt.jpg I’ll offer some very brief initial observations on both knives. Catcherman: I was a Spyderco fan b...

Re: Question about lanyard holes.........
Personally, I won’t buy a ”work” folder without a lanyard hole. I attach a float or lanyard to all of my work knives so any design without a lanyard hole is a non starter for me. Sometimes people label certain design characteristics as “completely useless” when what they really mean is “completely u...

Re: It's About Time For: A Full SE Catcherman
I am super happy that they gave us another sprint of the Catcherman. It’s a model that I never had a chance to own so I’m grateful for the opportunity! Given the intent of the design, my first choice would be PE, but the CE of the sprint doesn’t bother me since the CE portion is close enough to the ...

I’ve donated thousands of dollars of gear to the sea gods, haha.

Chief vs Stretch XL for fishing knife?
So wanted to hear some input on this. I’ve been completely enamored with the Stretch XL since I first saw the prototype at the Blade show a few years ago. Wonderful design and IMHO a more refined design than any of the previous Stretches. I didn’t need any more VG10 in my life but i said from the be...

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run
I was sooooo sad!!! I have wanted this knife FOREVER, but this was discontinued before my time here. When I saw the announcement several months ago I was overjoyed. But….I did what I always do and procrastinated until the last minute. By the time I acted they were all gone. Then I found one! Haha. ...

Re: “Best” steels video with Larrin
I think a lot about Cliff Stamp saying in so many words to make the edge thinner until it starts to damage and then make it make it thicker until it stops damaging. I came to the comments just to say that Cliff Stamp would have approved of this video. :grin-smiling-eyes I miss Cliff. I think of him...

Re: Serrations for cutting hard plastic?
I’d favor a pe wharncliffe for that job. I often cut two liter bottles in half to make water scooped for the boat and kayak. PE makes a cleaner straighter cut. And if it’s sharp it actually makes a more efficient cut than se on that material. If your knife is sharp you shouldn’t need to be “sawing” ...

Re: Salt 2 vs Native 5 Salt
if you want robust, the native is great. if you want a slicer, the salt is noticeably better. the salt is also noticeably more comfortable carrying iwb. both are great knives, but very difference in use and carry. Yeah, this is a pretty good summation IMO. I have used both extensively and like both...

Re: so... next reveal?
I love seeing EVERY new “new” knife and new “old” knife in the reveals, but honestly, the Stretch XL Salt is the only one I really care about right now.
