Re: We don't actually need to Magnacut *all* the knives

I reckon the market will decide how many knives we need to 'Magnacut'. As always. It's challenging to produce products that do not sell. When we introduced K390 to the production market, reaction was very good so more models were created in that steel. sal Magnacut Slysz Bowie though... I'm out.

Re: Para 3 Lovefest, Where Did It Go?

Yeah, you 100% right, the Delica actually feels more premium in the hands. But looking at them from a lens, the Para 3 LW has a comp lock, it's more flick able, it has an arguably better steel, that golden colorado more advanced FRN pattern, a wire clip and less screws (The Delica has too much imo, ...

Re: Para 3 Lovefest, Where Did It Go?

If the Para 3 is still in the lineup several years from now, then we will know it's selling well enough, and is more popular among buyers than the majority of responses here on the forum would indicate. Jim Spyderco have their own ways and sometimes they're difficult to grasp or the decisions are m...

Re: Para 3 Lovefest, Where Did It Go?

The cheaper and thinner Delica and the gorgeous Native 5 are the reasons.

We still don't know how much said model sells so it might be more popular than we assume, even if I have my doubts.

Question about how to store documents/objects properly

Hey people, I know some people here like to store important stuff and are probably savvy about this subject. I have some important papers (degrees and stuff) I would like to store in a vault. Only thing I'm afraid of is water flooding (common in my area), so I bought some waterproof bags to put the ...

Re: What "others" are in the mail?

I need the help of someone who lives in Germany. I would like to buy a Kubey knife I'm eyeing for a long time but the website only ship in Germany. So I'd like the person to receive the knife and sending it to me (in France). I'll cover any fees myself through paypal and give a little extra to buy a...

Re: Comm in January 2023 Blade Magazine about Spyderco.

Let's not fool ourselves, we're Spyderco fans so we might be biased. From an outsider perspective Spyderco knives mostly use the same style. Especially the most famous ones : Delica, PM2 and the Military. It's not a bad thing at all, but I understand the impression of similarities. However, blaming ...

Re: Spyderco Military 2 steel?

I do not get the people that are against s30v for the base model. You can not choose a better steel for it. The Spy steel was a good idea but i gues since all spy models are more expensive then there s30v variants its probably a choice to keep the price lower. Isn't S45vn a thougher s30v basically ?

Re: Paramilitary 1 scales

You can also ask one of the many custom g10 scale artisan around the web to make some for you. If you live in the US it's even easier to find someone. You can find a bunch on instagram, or just googling it. Should run you about 100$ for a pair though, maybe less. Can't vouch for him but here's an ex...

Re: Should I get a Techno 2?

It depends. I love the Techno 2 myself, it's like a Slysz Bowie little brother. Do you need a small hefty knife that looks non threatening ? If the answer is, get it 100%. It's small and very hard to get a full hand grip. The metal it used isn't the easiest to sharpen neither. Outside of that, it's ...

What Spyderco folder would make a great fixed blade ?

Some companies recently released fixed blade version of their popular folders. It made me wonder what Spyderco folder knife would be very good as a fixed blade knife. To me, one of the best would be the Spyderco Native and the Native 5. Their ergo are really similar to what you can usually see in fi...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

i'm honestly surprised we're seeing the manix in magnacut first given that the pm2 seems to be more popular. personally, i prefer the manix, but i still find it surprising. probably more a result of there already being a lw manix, but no pm2 lw yet. Spyderco as a company does some interesting choic...
