Native 5 in G10 vs. Native 5 Lightweight in FRN
Hey all, just a question for any folks out there who have extensive experience using the Native 5 in both G10 & FRN versions: From a functional/ergonomic perspective, is there a reason to buy the former over the latter? The Native 5 is my favourite Spyderco folder design & it is my most used...

Re: Best knife design and steel pairings?
Dragonfly in ZDP-189 This. I love the DF II in VG-10 (it's pretty much all the knife I need outside of work) but the DF II platform is perfect for ZDP-189: enough cutting edge for most "convenience cutting" tasks & it stays razor-sharp for a long, long time... but when it finally does...

Re: A few words on the Introvert
One thing I neglected to mention in my post: I do a lot of pull cuts at work. On the Native 5, I seat my thumb in the finger choil & on the Delica, I use the ricasso. On the Introvert, I initially approximated this position by placing my thumb inside the index finger hole but found that it felt ...

Re: A few words on the Introvert
Apologies for reviving a long-dormant thread; I wanted to share my experience with the Spyderco Introvert and figured that instead of starting a new thread, I would post it here instead so that the community can have easy access to Introvert designer Chris Knutson's firsthand account of what went in...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Waiting on 2 knives: Native 5 Lightweight: This is my 3rd time re-buying it... it's my favourite folding work knife design & I keep gifting mine to family members & turning them into Native fans. Introvert: I've always been intrigued by the design but wasn't sure if the ergos would work for ...

Re: Knife myths you should not accept as true a priori (meant to be a POSITIVE thread!)
Knives without locks are no good ... Wouldn't ever consider owning one of them!!! Nope, not true ... the UK PenKnife is a wonderful user!!! QFT. I use locking folders at work, but for light-duty "convenience cutting" tasks around the house, it's hard to beat a UKPK for ease of use & c...

Re: The next Endela?
An Endela with Zomé Green FRN scales would be an automatic buy for me. I have a Dragonfly & Delica in zomé scales & plan on getting a zomé Endura at some point. I like the zomé scales on the Seki City knives because they impart a distinct cultural & geographical character to the designs ...

Re: Curious...
I think it's a good idea, but I'm not sure if a forum is the ideal format for a dedicated reviews subsection. Ideally, you want a format that has the review post distinct from comments on the review--if you've ever tried to search for one specific post in a long-running thread, you know how that pos...

Re: Native Designer
I thought I heard that Eric was the person behind the lock improvements of the Native 5. I'm not sure if that qualifies it as an EG/SAL design like the Para 2. I definitely remember reading a post by Sal from a couple of years ago where he credited Eric (& one or two other people whose names es...

Re: Long-time lurker, first time poster...
Your daily use of knives are exact to mine. I work in a warehouse as well. Hard to beat these knives. Working in a fast-paced, high-throughput warehouse can be very taxing some days (part of the human cost of living in a society where gross, unthinking consumption is king). And it may sound silly t...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Long-time lurker, first time poster...
Hey all, long-time lurker, first-time poster here. Finally decided to register & post on the forum, primarily to publicly share my appreciation for the work of the Glessers and everyone at Spyderco. I use knives every day in my job (I work in a warehouse and cut a lot of cardboard, pallet straps...
