Voted military as I'm not thrilled with S30V yet really waiting for the Military 2 itself.

However I'm 99% as interested in a Native Chief in 15V :D

- Tanto blades. Why would I want one? It's a mystery. I also don't "get" them, at least the "american" geometric tantos, but they seem more a trend of the past luckily - Having a "show side". I don't like janus-faced people,nor knives.. Bugs me as well. Want lightweigh...

... But when I know I’m going to sweat like a pig, I reach for something in Cruwear or a salt.

Those are two completely different choices, with no common characteristics apart from them both being steels ^^

Is this a siren blade + native chief handle?

Definitely getting one, it'll join my Police 4 LW K390 and Resilience S35VN LW in the Big Blue Blade club ^^ (also waiting for the inevitable K390/SPY27 Stretch XL to join the bunch)

You guys in the USA sure are lucky, those prices are just wow...

Did anyone take apart the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight? Does it have bronze washers or does the blade run on FRN? Edit: Didn't take it fully apart, so no photo, but I wanted to have all the body screw heads on the same side of the knife (from factory the handle ones are on one side and the pivot and bac...

Regarding #1 - This would be true assuming the blade is the same thickness behind the edge along the whole length of the knife which it almost never is ^^

I wonder how they protect themselves against fuel theft if that's their camera quality... Really sorry that this happened to You

... As for the Stretch 2 LW: Let me repeat what I usually say: Instead of waiting for another steel this might be a great opportunity for trying SE - VG 10 is decent in PE, but great in SE imo and on top the XL happens to have a very nice and "non aggressive" serration pattern - gives one...

I see ZDP going through a bit of a resurgence - there were a couple recent overseas produced releases in the ZDP-189 laminate, the MBK lineup, the Maxace Peregrine for example

... The Endura has a thicker and shorter blade and no usable finger choild (but it has A choil still) which are all negatives to me. ... Actually the blade stock of the Endura is thinner than the Millie and Chief stock (and as thin as the Stretch XLs). The (ffg) Endura also tapers nicely and has to...

I'd guess only the black+satin will be shipping now, other versions to follow after a while. They were in two separate reveals afterall

I voted for the police (P4LWK390 for the win ^^) and the Stretch 2 XL though I don't own the latter, waiting for better steel. I handled the current Military and it didn't wow me for some reason. But from the changes I hope the Mili 2 will fix most of the issues. The Endura has a thicker and shorter...

It's not available anywhere of course, but at least it's listed https://www.com2you-biwak.de/Spyderco-C36GP2-Military-2-G-10.html https://www.boker.de/military-2-g10-black-combinationedge-01sp1238 https://www.bq-warehouse.de/taschenmesser/spyderco/23370/spyderco-military-2-plainedge Had to get well ...

I have a ceramic detent in both my Kapara and GB2, so I guess Taichung uses it already. I'm pretty sure my Resilience S35VN has it as well. Also I recently handled a PM2 S45VN and I'm pretty sure it also had a ceramic detent, so maybe it's already in progress? On the other hand only the Resilience w...

Another 2 weeks sans Military 2, but at least I'm starting to see more listings in Europe, maybe that's a good omen?

Would definitely go for a GB2 sprint!

Probably because of the thinner edge

The most noticeable changes in my preferences overtime are: 1. Acceptable blade length got longer - I just can't seem to like anything below 85mm, best over 100mm (~4"), apart from tiny knives like my pink Dragonfly 2. Cutting ability became the second most important consideration, especially B...
