What Spyderco is next for me? (Stagnation)

[hawkeye180]

I own

Paramilitary 2
Delica X2
Endura
Tasmin Salt
Pacific Salt
Dragonfly
Stretch Super Blue

I feel like I stagnated a bit on Spyderco blades and I am here for help.

IMO, Military, Native, or Manix....right now, I'd grab the 2015 forum knife...great timing on your part, if they're still available.

[Ruarch]

Just off the top of my head...

wait for a Gayle Bradley 2 or
Native 5 or
Manix 2 or
Domino
orrrrr....
buy a ton of byrds and beat the crap out of them... they love it and ask for more.


Edit: forgot the Manix 2... i am carrying one right now... :P

[hawkeye180]

I did own a Manix 2 and sold it last year. It just didn't do it for me.

I like the want to like the Military but I just don't like liner locks.

What is the forum knife? I haven't been super active on the forum lately.

[Ruarch]

It is a Native 5, maroon frn and in s90v.

[GoldenSpydie]

The Forum knife is great--grab one while you can. With the code found in my first link, it is an amazing deal for a beautiful and high quality knife.

If those were the knives I own, I'd be buying a Manix 2.

Southard????

If you don't like liner locks then try a Sage 2 or 3. The Gayle Bradley would also be a good option.

[Brock O Lee]

Get something, anything, from the Taiwan factory. I think you will be pleasantly surprised...

[Surfingringo]

If you like the frn knives you have and would like another then look at the Native 5 lightweight. If you want to branch out into something different and maybe a bit fancier then check out the knives from the Taichung factory.

I'm thinking you should give the Caly 3.5 a real try. You might get it and see how it feels in your hand and not like it. I think if you carry it for a couple of weeks, you will like it.

You could try the Chaparral 1 or Native 5 if you want something between the Dragonfly and Delica.

Manix 2 is one of my all time favorites, also, so I agree with David on that.

How about the slysz bowie, super nice TiaChung model. Also might consider the chokwe, been disco'd but sure to be a classic and easily found still.

[Archimedes]

A Spyderco fixed blade.

[SpyderNut]

You need some collabs, my friend. :) I'm thinking Slysz Bowie, Hungarian Folder, Lava, Techno, Starmate, Ulize, Persian, etc., for starters.

I like the collaboration idea. No one has mentioned the Yojimbo 2 yet. I know it's a SD design, but it's a phenomenally ergonomic EDC and it'll probably surprise you.

Also, standard plug for a Sage 3. Everyone could use a little bolt action lock in their life.
