Re: Edgerati Prototype

S90V seems like it'd have been the obvious choice, though intriguing nonetheless. I feel that a "racing" version that's obviously going to come in at a premium price point could afford premium steel. It seems so many models either just make it to the 85% mark, or are so over the top that t...

Re: 15V, after the mule, what's next?

I hope more forumites make some noise about a S35vn option. Seems well within the realm of reason. When it came out, I was one of those noise makers...it looks like an absolutely fantastic design, but I already have too many knives I don't use and I'm not going to buy an 8Cr blade in any design. I ...

Complete overkill but would be very hard to pass up, count me in.

Re: Ikuchi

One of my favorite Spyderco designs, and not nearly as delicate as one might assume. Underrated for sure...

PacSalt 2 SE is one I've been considering since it dropped. I probably need it in my life don't I?

It gets my vote...

My favorite Salt SE's.

Re: Subjective Question

Ergos & steel are what Spyderco does best, so the options are many, but the first few that come to mind are Caly 3, Native series & GB1.

Honorable mentions for Manix & Domino...

Re: Burnt Orange FRN questions

As noted above, the Seki is a slightly lighter shade and a little duller (less sheen).

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat

I've definitely sold more Spydies than I've bought over the last year and am just looking to be surprised at this point. I would always love to see more exciting collabs in the works!

Re: Sage 5-Rex121 -Forum knife- Sal-series



I hate burnt orange, but some of my favorite knives don those scales so I succumb...

1:09:44 ; I tried to link to the correct start time, but the site didn't cooperate.

I'm definitely looking forward to a Sage 5 LW in Rex121!

Re: SPK Lamia colab

Very nice knife Vaugith! I should sell off some unused knives just to pick up a custom Lamia from Alex. I have enjoyed following his journey and really respect how he runs his business. I've got a Shark and had him regrind a Mantra 2, but the Lamia is an excellently refined design...I think I may ha...

Re: Looking help & Advice?

Welcome to the forum, John!

Just to muddy the waters...my readily available suggestions would be.

Delica 4 Wharncliffe
Salt 2 Wharncliffe
Native 5 Salt
Chaparral

Steel and plain edge vs serrated edge comes down to your comfort and equipment when it comes to sharpening.

Glad to have you aboard!
