Spyderco Forums

Understood, thanks.

From "Magnacut in Seki Salts" https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93238 We're still refining the heat treat on MagnaCut. It's sensitive to different heat treatment. We'd like to get it down before exporting the steel. Eventually, assuming the market likes it, we'll move the...

The Stovepipe fit and finish seem very cool. For the people who have both, how does the fit and finish compare to the Slysz Bowie ?

Hard to make a better Izula than the Izula II.

Making wood knives isn't really Spyderco forte/niche. Better focus on what they do best.

The Dragonfly has always been one of the best out there. Top 3 Spyderco knife for me.

It's a small knife though, so it's less versatile than says a Delica or Native 5.

Are those PM2 scales custom ? They look different from the usual ones.. They are the normal g10 I just rounded them off. I prefer the softer edges. It looks very professional. You have a turorial somewhere ? Thanks! No, I didn’t document it. But next time I do it I can take pictures along the way. ...

The tenacious is my normal value line knife that I give as gifts. It’s a good gateway into the Spyderco world. But up until this past week, I had never owned a value line Spyderco myself. My wife bought be the Astute, and I’m blown away by the quality for the price. So far anyone I’ve shown it to t...

Is that it in your avatar pic by chance? I'm not familiar with the model myself.

Yes =D

Spyderco doesn’t discontinue knives that are selling. The first run of the SB didn’t sell well enough to stay in the line up. However, it sells well enough for limited runs like Sprints. Part of the sell outs are due to limited nature of Sprints. Nah, even with a regular release it would do fire. T...

As you may all know, I'm enamoured with the Slysz Bowie. We had that Knifejoy exclusive deal that sold out very fast, and since then... Nothing. Knifejoy was supposed to make more, in different color. Spyderco was speaking about potentially retrain dedicated workers to manufacture a new Slysz Bowie,...

In terms of blade sturdiness, what matters more ? Blade geometry or the type of steel used ? As a point or comparison : what would be stronger, a Paramilitary 2 in 1095 (or any soft work steel) or a Shaman in 20cv (or any high stainless very hard steel) ? I've asked in an other thread and we didn't ...

So no conclusive answer ? We should make a thread about it =D

Edit :

It's done. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=92966

Quick question :

What matter most in terms of blade sturdiness. The geometry/grind used or the steel ?

Like what blade would be a stronger ? A military in Crucarta or a Shaman in 20CV ?

To answer your question, I remember reading about how it was a fun project for Sal. Something he wanted to do. He didn't expect it to become that popular. It's funny because it might be one the best folder Spyderco released, and it seems Sal didn't do it on purpose. Tells you about how great designe...

I'll sit on this one. Good luck to everyone else.

Don't carry a knife on yourself while you ride. Could get really dangerous if you fall or crash.

Native 5 LW.
Shaman.
Dragonfly 2.

I wouldn't change a thing. I'd take more chamfered scales for the Native 5 LW, but that's it.

I did it once and never again. I didn't see any paranormal stuff, but I've heard voices for sure and the friends I was with heard them too. Could have been some strange wind, but I won't push my thin luck. Thanks for sharing! That was in Japan? Jim Yes. In Kyoto. There are some scary places in Japa...
