For a tiny three-finger knife, the Dragonfly ergonomics line up a lot better for my hand. So it does end up being my most-carried knife, often as a secondary in a shirt or jacket pocket, etc.. What I'd really like to see is improvements on the Dragonfly LW. The big one is just offering it (especial...

This thread inspired me to carry my Dragonfly for a day and then carry my Lil’ Native for a day and compare them. The Dragonfly seems to fill almost all of the boxes. That point on the spine is the big turn off for me. The Lil’ Native checks off almost all of the same boxes but the smooth contours ...

Ya, I guess people don't want to send their knife in to warranty or deal with the hoops. I remember needing screws for a Yo2, and for what ever reason, I think they wanted pictures of the knife? It was in pieces because I was doing a swap so I didn't bother. People don't want the third degree as to...

Seems like I derailed this thread to become a CE appreciation thread. Though it wasn't my intention, I'm very happy to see so many of you sharing my appreciation. I hope Sal and co takes notice :smiling-cheeks In contrast to Wartstein it took quite a while before I dared to dip my toes in the murky...

Not to mention CE salts. I know I’ll sound like a broken record in this regard, but the total absence of CE in the salt production lineup is both surprising and a little disappointing. Of the Golden salts I think a Manix CE would be my preference, but ideally I’d also like to see backlock in the 3....

For a lot if not most, there's both a plain edge and serrated version of each of the Seki Salts.

For the Native 5 Salts and for the Native Chief Salts, there are both PE and SE.

Will there be SE versions of the PM2, Para 3, or Manix 2 Salts?


Just wondering,
Christian

Maybe try to talk Sal into a PE Stretch 2 XL LC200N Salt?

There’s an upcoming lil Native lightweight with blade stock the same as a Dragonfly or Delica. Looking forward, I’d expect that turns into a Salt version eventually. The Emerson opener Dragonfly is really cute. 🥰 Edit: I’m pretty biased in that my most used knife lately is a serrated lil Native. I c...

I prefer the Lil Native to the dragonfly, but they don't get jealous, so you can have both. for me, the lil Native is better. The lil Native is available in a compression lock, mid back lock, or a slip joint. There's also a wharncliffe version. If I'm going to clip it, I''ll take the compression loc...

Before I read this thread, I mistook the title to be a request for a non-locking/slipjoint version of the PM2 in G10.

Same

Me too.

There was a forest green g-10 s45vn sprint with diamond arc (?) texture which was very very grippy. Too much for a lot of people.

The new PM2 Salt would probably be a good thing to try.

... They entire Military line is a bit odd in that they have a very thick blade stock (0.145" or 3.7mm for all of them), but taper to a pretty fine point. I guess it is just a unique design feature. It is more apparent in person, but the Para 3 has a fairly stout tip compared to the others in ...

Do I recall Sal mentioning a plunge lock (button lock) being considered in a future Sage?
Did Michael Walker invent that too?

Sometimes, I covet those Sage 4s. If any one needs a "comeback", it's that one. I can always wish. replace the Ti bolster with smooth polished grey G-10 and the wood with jigged brown G-10 with a little black dye. Go for something similar to this in appearance: https://blogger.googleuserco...

I have the LT3 LWT SE. I like the blade and handle shape. I don't like the pocket clip. It doesn't slide in and out of the pocket easily enough to be an EDC. Spyderco could use the clip from the Shaman or Native 5 so that there are aftermarket deep carry options. Give the clip a landing pad like th...

A question for the masters,

Were the Dyad models tip down or tip up?

Interesting, I did not know they left out the holes by the pivot on the Bodacious. That makes me even more interested in it. I do not like unused holes all over the scales. It is one reason I prefer aftermarket scales. They just look cleaner. Except on the Military. I think it looks great even thou...

oops

Oh, never thought about bending a factory spring. Might be fun to try out. Always thought I had to make my own replacement If needed ! Interesting that you chaps want stronger springs. On all of my Spyderco back locks, I've bent the springs to provide less tension. We all have are own ideas about w...

I was gonna say that I feel like my Backlock Manix 2 feels a bit soft spring-wise. Still love it ! @cjk saw what you did there :winking-tongue Mine was soft too. I took it apart and bent the spring a bit more. It now snaps shut just like it wanted to be a 3.5 inch Native. 😁 Oops, I did it again. 🤣😜
