Spyderco Forums

Here in DE there are (to keep it simple) 3 options that are legal to carry. All 3 are limited to maximal blade length of 120mm (what, honestly, is not something that limits my personal choices) 1) fixed blades 2) slipjoints 3) locking knives that require BOTH hands to open. I only carry a fixed blad...

Before you completely switch course - Chaparral is just a different knife than the N5 even if both were designed for general EDC carry. N5 has a more robust (thicker) blade, more hand-filling handle. Chap is more of a Gentleman's carry for me. Both are great. If you do not have a dedicated type of u...

Since most of the knives in the Reveal 14 are yet to hit the shelves, I am not all that much in the hurry for the 15. In the 14 Sypderco has (and IMO it was a good decision) focused on rolling out steels (that they have spend a lot of time and money to develop) in several existing models. I would pr...

The venerable Centofante 3 took care of all edc cutting tasks on the Christmas eve.

Urban is in N690Co… AFAIK

And you would be very much correct!

Living in Germany (and having most knife-use around the house) there is quite a difference for me between 'most carried' and 'most used'. Most carried: - UKPK BD1N drop point in yellow FRN scales (outside-work-carry) --> eventually a Spy27 or Magnacut UKPK MAY replace it - Urban BD1N in black FRN sc...

Well, I would not be surprised if Spyderco decided against offering Mystery Boxes with the next seconds' sale ...

Knife Lounge - the owner (Maxi) is a wonderful person and a proper knife nut. They also have a brick and mortar store in Hamburg. She helped me to order Spyderco knives n the past that were hard to source.

Centofante 3 was mentioned and as someone having one - I definitely recommend to have a closer look at it.

Just to clarify - these are not diamond stones, these are diamond plates.

I have a soft spot for the Para3 LW even though the handle is too short for my hand and there is actually not reason for the blade to be quite as thick. Yet - all together it makes for a very enjoyable blade.

Honestly, with BD1n, LC200, MagnaCut and Spy27 - there is not much left to be desired. I know - some are yet to arrive - but we all know they are coming and are not sprint runs. We all will be able to get one or more eventually.

I wanted to post on this one since a while. We have (and really like) Mac Superior (AUS8) bread knife. It has a continuous wave (no sharp teeth) and gently curved blade and is a joy to use. When the time came to sharpen it - I took it to the CBN rods on the Sharpmaker. The cutting edge was originall...

Do you mean the top of the handle? Not the spine of the blade in the middle of your palm? I have never noticed that in use. I know it is extremely personal, but I find the GB2 one of the most comfortable handle shapes to use right behind the Manix behind the choil. Just to make my opinion more cled...

At some point I had two GB1 knives - bought sourced well after the model was discontinued. I did not keep them as the slippery carbon fiber / G10 scales did not give the feel of security and together with the shallow finger choil AND too heavy butt/handle the knife felt unbalanced in hand and kinda ...

Awesome - very tempting. But man it needs different scales ...

Some interesting discussions. I also think that we would be basically looking at a sprint-like release with some Spyderco insignia on it. Anything beyond that is not realistic - with one possible exception. If Spyderco has a new model in the pipeline, then they could also introduce it like a forum k...

I gifted an M4 Sage 5 to my wife. Since it is still not sticking out of my back, then I guess she likes it )))

I am considering to git the sprint Catcherman to a friend of mine who is a fisherman.

Oh, now I understand what the fuss is all about. OK, that is not great to get blade hitting the lanyard tube. From the practical point of view - could't one use a dremel with a cutting disc and make a grove in the lanyard tube - thus solving the issue without removing the tube? I am aware that from ...

Just swap the scales instead.

Haha, spot on! Anyhow, as a married man with a mortgage - this is not happening anyhow
