Spyderco Forums

The China knives are very good. The g10 Tenacious is a nimble tank with an acute, shearing blade that still has a lot of strength despite how thin it is behind the edge. My m4 came very sharp from the factory.

I have to say, the quality of the China knives like the Tenacious is really great. The fit/finish is as good as anything from Golden or Taiwan. I'm stunned. I apologize for my mental posts from before. $71 for this little tank in m4 is a really great deal.

I was just about to write off the sale until I got a m4 Tenacious for $71.00 free shipping, no tax. 50% off msrp lol. Now I can sell the Bradley 2 I got for $127 at about 200, pocket the difference, subsidize the tenacious, and still have m4. This is how you win! I didn't like the Bradley anyway to ...

I’m not sure why keep a product one deems defective. Returns are usually very simple. It appears that the major reason to do so is so one has something to complain about later on internets. Also, uneven bevel is ok. Few sharpenings later it’ll even out. Gotta love the shills around here. @Erich Why...

BladeHQ still lists it for $265, did they send out another release with the price increase?

This was their email...

Why stop at $290? XHP? It performs no better than S30V but you should get $500 a pop with that super duper steel.

I know it really doesnt affect much but I was under the impression that Spyderco had the most stringent quality control and perfection standards that something like this would be considered a factory second. I have a factory second para 2 that nothing seems to be wrong with it except for the same i...

To those of you who do not want to pay for Spyderco products, I say depart and do not return. Either trust those managing the creation of Spyderco products or find another manufacturer that pleases you. Spyderco the corporation, the First Family of Spyderco, it's employees and fans do not need you ...

.....I bought a ton of Spydercos in 2022 but I noticed that I'm only carrying a good old s30v pm2. I feel like I can't use the others because I bought them so low, like a $127 Bradley 2, $156 15v Manix, or $175 pm2 Maxamet, and their prices are so high now and will continue increasing. It's like th...

Could you elaborate more on that? What are the other companies of which you speak and what are they doing? sal This question wasn't directed at me but I will comment. Here is one of my purchases this week, a Vosteed Nightshade. This is a $70 knife with Nitro-V steel, liner lock, bearings, skeletoni...

I also suggest sharpening your s110v no higher than maybe 400 grit on diamonds/CBN. Its not built for fine edge holding

That depends on the abrasive. A good ceramic waterstone or diamond matrix stone will easily polish any steel.

Hello, I am new to the forum and I really like Spyderco knives for years. I am also a hunter here in Europe and in my place we primarely hunt roe deer and wild boar. I would really like to see somekind of Spyderco knife with saw for gutting purposes and to cut thru chest and pelvis bone, because he...

I’ve read most of the posts here but not all and I’m mostly thinking out loud here but - How can we know if prices are at or have risen beyond “what the market can bare?” There is no market. That's the purpose of the MAP. It is a price control. All price controls are intended to freeze a market i.e...

"Hitting a glass dish"

That'll do it to S30V, let alone s110v.

S110V is a hyper brittle steel. Invest in a jig system and grind out a new edge.

Certainly but beware of the apologists/fanatics on this forum. They will ceaselessly defend the inflation and blame you for everything. ... Not sure what / whom you´re talking about (honestly!) :thinking I rarely or even never hear anyone "defend the inflation" - it (the inflation) is a b...

Certainly but beware of the apologists/fanatics on this forum. They will ceaselessly defend the inflation and blame you for everything. Want to hear a funny story? In November 2022 the Black Friday had every single model at 50% off MSRP or more. Another 50%er hit in the Summer of next year. Those sa...

There is s45vn but it is yet another derivative of s30v like s35vn, spy27, and probably others I can't remember. They all mark reductions in carbide and vanadium and as such have worse edge retention than s30v. Just be happy you have s30v. With inflation and these absurd prices you'll probably see i...

What about K390 vs Rex for edge stability? Or are they pretty close

Negligible.

Just sent a follow-up email to Dack because the website shows the Stretch 2XL Salt SE back in stock. Conveniently, two days after they wanted to cancel my order due to "an inventory discrepancy." Not accusing Dack of anything, not at this point anyway, but we'll have to see how they respo...
