Re: Knives capable of pikal style?

The P'kal is your best bet if you can find one, nobody has them in Canada as I have been looking for awhile now. There is fixed blades that are not spyderco that are specifically made for this style like shivworks clinch pick. I would feel odd using my smock in this way but due to the handle being n...

Re: Still searching for a P'kal

Also been looking for one in Canada but everywhere has been sold out and I doubt they will ever get any more in stock, is it discontinued now or something? If anyone comes across one in Canada please let me now

Re: Are We Witnessing The Death Knell of K390 In Production Folders?

Im really surprised they are getting rid of the Wharncliffe knives, I thought they were better sellers but I guess not, I cant say I liked the look of them at first but I grabbed the endura in K390 and its become my favorite blade over my PM2, Manix, Shaman etc. I really find it to be a great practi...

Re: Swayback purchase

Man, want this knife, have others on the way though, hopefully can grab one before they are gone, probably will as unlike all you lucky people in the US where it seems every dealer put everything on the new discontinued list on sale, none of the Canadian dealers did, still full price for everything ...

Re: 2024 Official Discontinued List

I think the K390 discontinuation says more about the edge and shape more than the steel. Looks like SE and Wharncliffes are the real losers here. Plain edge is staying around. So I am guessing SE and Wharncliffe blades are just not selling that well. I admittedly used to think they were strange loo...

Re: Griptilian

Have a sheepsfoot Griptilian so it has the spydie hole, its an excellent knife and good thickness for tougher jobs, its pretty lightweight with the grivory scales but feels cheap as the handle has the hollow feel because it is thick, but doesnt feel bad in the pocket because its not a super wide kni...

Re: Considering collecting M.Strider knives

Strider is quite the hot topic on other forums with the whole stolen valor issue, a lot of people upset about it so might be able to find some for less on the secondary.

Re: Is there a BYRD in your pocket??

Figured I'd pick one up just to see what they are about, I love my wharncliffe endura k390 so figured why not try a wharncliffe cara cara, for the price due to the 3 day sale I couldn't pass up, not expecting much from the steel compared to all my other knives which are all super steels aside from a...

Re: Canis question.

I never really thought about it as I haven't used mine much yet but I have a work sharp PA and don't think it would be an issue, I can remove the blade to sharpen it, the lack of a sharpening choil is more difficult IMO but that's all spyderco knives and ive managed to get around that

Re: PM 2 Cru Carta color

When I bought mine it was very light, after a couple weeks it darkened quite a bit just from oils on the hand, it actually looks better IMO. But if you ever like the look of it when new and lighter then apparently just using a toothbrush and some dawn soap will bring it back to the lighter colour

Re: Manix 2 ball cage lock on other knives!

I wondered this myself, the compression lock is great but coming from a lot of Benchmade knives when I handled the Manix I was suprised they don't do more knives with it. Also saw a video testing all their locks (think blade hq) and the ball cage lock was quite a bit stronger than the compression lo...
