Lava ans Szabo (Blade swap) for me. Hopefully the final version of the black szabo will have black hardware!

Thank you for your interest in the Battlestation. The knife is closed construction and it does feature a backspacer. It is a lockback. You mean the final version will be closed construction? The one from the pictures is not a full closed construction, now the problem with that IMO is that if you wa...

I haven't held it obviously but Wouter said it's pretty comfortable. While that is subjective of course the only place besides the blade channel that could use some filling is the tail part by the lanyard. The rest of the handle will have a backspacer of sorts due to the lockback design. I'm assumi...

I like to see spyderco getting more and more into tactical knives, but that tanto is going to be very uncomfortable and coming from Japan, the edges on those liners will be super sharp, just like on the lum tanto and even the new szabo (Taiwan), I would say if you are making it in Japan, put a backs...

The paramilitary 2 on the other hand surprised me, it failed almost in every test, very weird, I think it might have been a lemon. I have seen the para 2 go through harder testing and immediately after his para failed the spinewack I went to test mine, hit it even harder and it didn't fail at all, n...

It's his knife he bought it, he can do whatever he wants with it.

If the only objection is the color, there's always RIT. Don't recall anyone mentioning what shade of blue it is, but if it's the typical Spyderco "smurf blue", I might consider dying one to a darker shade of blue myself. Hey Deacon, how much experience do you have with that stuff, do you ...

$150? O_O I'm new to spydies but that seems much higher than I expected compared to the original model...am I missing something here? Seki made models are always expensive. You can expect it to be around 125$ at CS. Sal always said this one is going to be expensive to make, we all agreed with the h...

On the bright side, bright colors make knives more sheeple friendly!

haha yeah, blue on a tactical knife, welcome to spyderco :)

bladehq has it on their site of coming soon and they say it will be out this summer!

Did anyone handle the new lava at the show?

Any news on this?

Yesss, compression or frame lock? Tell tell tell before I start singing :D

I noticed a 10$ increase on some models, not too much but the prices were already to high. Sucks but can't blame Spyderco for it. Maybe its time to find another hobby.

This is the best of both worlds, compression lock and liner lock lol good job spyderco :)

So it's a reinforced reverse liner lock and not a compression lock? I am still waiting for mine to come in.

I use tuff-cloth (very bad smell) and ballistol for lubrification, both have worked very nicely, but few days ago I ordered some Benchmade Blue Lube and CRK fluorinated grease, I heard a lot of good things about those two.
