[ That said: I am really glad for all who would/will enjoy it as a slipjoint and/or can´t carry a locking folder legally! :smlling-eyes One question though: If a slipjoint Kapara is held behind the choil and folded accidentally: Would the fingers still be protected by the choil hitting first, or wo...

This thread needs pics!

If the Spyderco version is modeled after this version, it would take a unique place in their SlipIt lineup.

I believe what @TazKristi means is that it would be easy for bots to register and keep quiet for x years to circumvent purely time based verification processes.

My camping food prep knife is a UKPK Salt for what it's worth.

Replying to signal my interest as well.

Short and to the point. I agree.

Apparently a slip joint version is in the works. I wouldn't mind if this one got the salt treatment.

been a long time since I did a convex edge by hand. It was fun. this thing carves wood so well now, well a head of my mora 511's

120 grit, a few passes on 500 grit to clean up the apex, then a microbevel on a fine spyderco ceramic bench stone.

Did you use sandpaper or stones?

Notification contrast and default font size fixed for me. Loving the new look!

My LC200N Native is my only Golden LW atm, but there’s a Manix salt and a UKPK salt in my not too distant future. Just need for them to show up at European dealers.

Green LC200N UKPK appears to be in stock at the major European dealers...

This cause one can´t really ADD blade length, right?

This was my thought as well.

If it ever got a CQI I'd love to see it with a blade at 2.98" and a black wire clip. I think that would increase sales. One of the qualities of the Astute is the insane edge to handle ratio. I think it would be a shame to change that for legal reasons (where I live I can't carry ANY locking Sp...

The Lil Native is a three finger knife, three and a half if one squeezes in. The finger guard before the choil is in the way. If it were moved forward to the end of the scales, and the cutting edge lengthened, we'd have close to the same grip length and more cutting edge. This is actually such an o...

I agree with @Wartstein

A wharnie style blade would be excellent for the lil native.

Hang on, you do realize that this already is a thing?

Since the new update has been successfully completed (thanks Spyderco team!), I'd like to bump up this idea. I completely understand if the admin team wants to minimize the number of different themes to support, but I think offering both a light and a dark theme would be desirable. There have been s...

The Astute was mentioned a couple of times on here as an exceptional design already. So I bought one. And what can I say, it is my favorite Spyderco by far. The handle ergonomics are absolutely spot on. The palm swell offers the support for my pinky finger that I miss e.g. on my Lil Native. The thum...

Maybe, mark all knives made in Golden during that calendar year with a 50th mark. And make a 50th anniversary specific model/make-over for the elite/collector?

That's what I was thinking.

I love the idea of an engraving on all production models. Or all golden models, in case it is not feasible to have all the makers do this. Much more subtle than some fancy collector's piece and many more customers could participate in the celebration. Collectors still could seek out their favorite c...

I find the relative lack of interest in the Lil Native Wharnie remarkable. I like mine a lot but do not feel the need for upgraded steel personally. I wouldn't say no though!!
