Spyderco Forums

I came home from work and swapped the MagnaCut N5 Salt which i so often carry for work, for the Small Persian 2. Is that a Northwoods? Looks like a great knife.

I came home from work and swapped the MagnaCut N5 Salt which i so often carry for work, for the Small Persian 2.

Of the Spyderco FRN that I have used I like the Taichung pattern best. I find G. Sakai second best and Golden is the least preferred and snaggiest. I have not used the old volcano pattern, nor the fishscale, Jess Horn, smooth (e.g. Centofante, Roadie), small squares (UKPK, Squeak, SpyDK, Urban) and ...

Have a great day, Beau! Thanks for all your forum contributions!

Word!

Adding a micro bevel or even a full-sized edge bevel will also strengthen the edge and will be fine for most work except wood carving. Wood carving is the main reason I choose a Scandinavian grind when I do, so that is not my approach. Vivi's suggestion is better if you want to use it for carving or...

Would buy. Would really like a drop point stretch 2 in that configuration.

My latest vintage purchase is this 2005 Schatt and Morgan Mountain Man.

I'm late to the party but that S&M Mountain Man is a phenomenal knife.

Thanks, Bolster!

Yeah now! Nice fatwood.

For me the framelock is at it's best use on the SpydieChef.


I am mostly a mid lockback guy. YMMV.

I had an awesome backcountry ski today, carrying one of my N5 salts. No skiing nor knife pics. Beautiful day and cold.

Yes please to BBB HT protocols optimizing Sandvik steels for Spyderco. As of late 2022 its no longer called Sandvik anymore. They changed the name to Alleima https://www.alleima.com/en/products/strip-steel/strip-products/knife-steel/knife-steel-knowledge/ Whoa! Thanks Shawn. That's a bit surprising...

:respect Before I sold my soul to Spyderco, I had one of the 2” “Micro Recons” and kept it on a keychain. Cool knife but my tastes have changed since then. Now that I think of it, I don’t even remember where it is. I might not even own it anymore. :thinking Also have a 3” “Mini Recon” that I used a...

I really wanted a Chef, but after handling it I decided I cannot get over my hatred of frame locks, liner locks, and smooth metal scales. I'd love to see a backlock G10 (or FRN) with the chef style blade in the future. Considering food is a large % of what is cut, another culinary-focused offering ...

My latest vintage purchase is this 2005 Schatt and Morgan Mountain Man. PXL_20240113_161741645sm.jpg This is from the penultimate year of the Bill Howard era at Queen-- before he ventured off to start Great Eastern Cutlery. The quality is excellent. The spring is very strong and snappy. Lockup is so...

Tough decision as there are so many good ones! I went with other - I would like to see someone pick up 4V uncoated. After that it is a toss-up between cruwear green and cruwear purple as I don’t have any cause they haven’t done models I’m interested in. Have some in xhp orange, jade M4, and cv20 bl...
