Help with a Caly 3/UKPK...

I love the shape and size of the of the leaf UKPK, but I would prefer a locking knife. I hear so much rave about the Caly 3 all the time but have never seen or held one in person. They look similar, but im not sure if they are similar. Can anyone tell me if these knives are indeed similar? Im hoping...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

I’ve finally built a Native 5 that suits me. S90V with AWT LW scales and a Lynch NW deep carry clip.

Ever notice how a serrated Spydero Delica 4 makes the perfect sized steak knife?

I’d carry this every day. Im a lawyer so it’s kinda frowned upon in my profession.

Re: Delica 4 in 2024?

I guess I agree with you considering I have 6 of them. I gifted a beautiful M390 with Delica 4 with micarta scales to my Dad for Father's Day last year. It was his first Spyderco. It should be everyone's first Spyderco!

Here’s my favorite out of my 6 Manix 2 knives. M390 blade. Ripps Garage Tech featherweight Ti “angle parallel” scales. Flytanium/Glow Rhino ball cage. Ceramic ball. Ti geared backspacer. Sexy and smooth.

Re: When will seki see magnacut?

I think Spyderco is a little slow in their MagnaCut releases. Every other knife maker seems to already have a line of them.

A MagnaCut Delica only makes sense. It should have been done by now.

Re: Gotta rethink my hunting/gutting knife…S110V FAIL!

Never offer logic to a guy who is looking for an excuse to buy a new knife. I hope you were referring to Shawn, because I want nothing to do with another guy's logic in this setting, as I have little compared to most. Plus, by an outside look at my extensive knife collection, there is no logical re...

Re: Gotta rethink my hunting/gutting knife…S110V FAIL!

Thats kinda what I was thinking, but who knows? Everybody has a different answer around here. It is obvious by just looking at it that the edge on that Shaman is heavier and sturdier than the thin Manix 2 edge. The Manix 2 is my favorite Spyderco model and in no way am I bashing it. But its clearly ...

Re: Gotta rethink my hunting/gutting knife…S110V FAIL!

I will. I think the blade stock behind the edge is dramatically thicker on the Shaman compared to the Manix 2 and should add edge stability. This alone should help prevent chipping. The S90V (which happens to be my favorite) is just a bonus IMO. I think I knew this all along, but was just looking fo...

Re: Gotta rethink my hunting/gutting knife…S110V FAIL!

Finally got the time to reprofile and sharpen the chipped up S110V. The chips were ground out quite easily. I won’t be using this knife for any further game processing. I think it’s time to gain the courage to actually use my S90V Shaman for game cleaning purposes. I think it’s built for it. https:/...

Has anyone tried soaking paracord or string in Plasti-dip and wrapping a mule? Would add a lot of grip.
I doubt the cord would fit thru the holes after coated with plastic. It's a tough enough task with straight cord.
