Spyderco Forums

I’m very satisfied with the Spits m390 so have passed on the opportunity to acquire an Alien on a couple of times, now.

The general consensus is that it’s a slightly lighter action than the Pits, smaller and more pocketable, but that has been people comparing it to the non Spyderco version.

The Dragonfly is a beefed up Manbug, whereas the Lil Native is a shrunk Native ….

… so an enlarged lightweight keychain knife vs a miniature field knife.

A little less than that at Edgar Bros, the UK importer, and in stock.

As an aside, this is by far the best folder I’ve ever used for food prep.

Mine arrived today. I’ve been after a Catcherman for a long while, and I’m delighted. I’m no fisherman, but I live near the sea and do buy and prepare fresh fish, and it feels like it should be a great general food prep knife, too.

Now I’m just waiting for the Spyderco oyster knife

JD said full SE …

My Catcherman only arrived today, so will see how it goes in CE before commenting further. Very impressed out of the box, though.

Good review. Thank you for sharing.

Most of my kitchen knives appear to be ffg, apart from a single sided Global deba, and I’ve not noticed a problem to date with food binding. I’m certainly not a chef or expert on kitchen knives, but aren’t most kitchen knives ffg? Asking for a friend, ahem…

Happy birthday!

The world seems a very dangerous place again, for sure. The success of any part of that axis will embolden the others.

Milk in paper cartons is better. However, I buy Fernleaf powdered milk. It tastes just like bottled milk and dissolves in cold water. It is a New Zealand product. I understand that the same brand in the UK isn't nearly as good because UK laws mandate using only UK cow milk. The NZ cow milk is much ...

Erroneous post.

I was sooooo sad!!! I have wanted this knife FOREVER, but this was discontinued before my time here. When I saw the announcement several months ago I was overjoyed. But….I did what I always do and procrastinated until the last minute. By the time I acted they were all gone. Then I found one! Haha. ...

Happy birthday!

Yep. Definitely.

So you’re basically wanting a DLC version of the Heinnie Haynes exclusives?

The 4v is the draw for me.

Likewise. I have also come to the conclusion that I slightly prefer the frn.

Why not?

I’m sure it would be popular…

Fantastic thread. Craftsmanship, science and innovation in one. Add to that the redemption of an old villain (s60v, not Sal) and it’s a real treat.

“I only need one guitar”

Said nobody, ever…..

I don’t remember having seen that - I’ll look for it.

I didn’t enjoy sharpening the s60v in my Starmate one little bit. It would be very interesting to see what effect an updated HT would have.

I think a mid sized Native is a fantastic idea.

With (or without, actually) a sabre or scandi grind it would be an excellent bushcraft or all-purpose field knife.
