Re: New Collaboration

I've been waiting on a Grimsmo Norseman/Spyderco collaboration myself. I think a Norseman with a Spydie hole would be an awesome knife!

At this stage I am not planning to buy the new model unless it seduces me with a sexy new steel.

I already have 5 and they are just fine.
Same here. I already have 4 and they are perfect. But sexy new steel gets me everytime!

Re: The Completely Unnecessary Military Appreciation Thread!

My favorite Spyderco, and my EDC for 3 years and counting. Absolutely love the R.I.L. on a Military.

Hopefully, we’ll see Reveal 10 released within the next couple of weeks about a week before Blade Show starts on June 3, 2022. Reveal 9 was released on January 11, 2022 which was a week before SHOT Show started on January 18, 2022.
Today or tomorrow!? The anticipation builds...

Re: Blade HQ Jade/M4 Dodo SE coming

I have wanted a Dodo for as long as I can remember. But I just can't pull the trigger on M4. Really hope one comes out in a steel that requires less maintenance like S30V.

Re: Sharing a recent project - chopped Kapara

Outstanding job! My Kapara just happens to be in my pocket today. And comparing the two you did an excellent job on the mod. I think your finished blade shape most closely resembles the Embassy. Another one of my favorite Spyderco designs. I have been asking for a non-auto version for years.

Re: Manix 2 Lightweight

The Lynch is much nicer than the Spyderco wire. Seems odd to me that Spyderco would be "out CQI'd" by another company on their own product attachments. Especially since Spyderco is always pushing the CQI narrative. Wonder if Lynch owns the patent to their design and it keeps Spyderco from...

Re: cardboard cutting

Speaking from experience, hands down the best Spyderco I have tried (to date) at breaking down cardboard boxes is the Embassy. The blade geometry allows the knife to cut through cardboard like butter. And at only 3.1 inches the blade meets your criteria too.

Re: Not enough appreciation

Back in the day some jackass would post a picture of an orange slip joint everyday on Facebook in the Spyderco group just for negative attention. I left Facebook years ago, so I do not know if it still continues or not. The SPY-DK looks like an interesting knife. Spyderco makes so many designs, ther...

Re: Military is back in stock!

Best knife in the Spyderco catalog IMO! My favorite version of the Military is the Knifeworks exclusive. It was Carbon Fiber and Titanium with a Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism and S90V blade. I love the R.I.L. on the Military. https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C36CFTI/Military-Model-C...

Re: steel ranking [warning: stupid]

Interesting how S90V is found somewhere towards the middle of the pack, yet none of the higher ranking steels have S90V in thier list as being better than S90V.
