Re: Lum Tanto non sprint?

I'm also surprised there isn't demand for tantos. I deeply desire one with a compression lock. The natural g10 doesn't appeal to me, nor does the liner lock. Serious question: What is the appeal in the tanto design? When I look I see an awkward design that has corner snag built into the cutting edg...

Re: Lum Tanto non sprint?

Thanks for the fast reply Sal. That’s strange to hear. I always thought they would be a big seller like Emerson’s CQC7.

Just wishful thinking then....

Glad I got my sprint run version.

Lum Tanto non sprint?

I fairly new to the forum, but in the last few years have become a loyal Spyderco customer. I’ve bought and sold a lot of knives and Spyderco is hands down my favorite brand. The Lum Tanto BladeHQ has shown me there’s high demand for a Lum Tanto. I bought one just for the design and blade, not so mu...

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?

Won’t be buying a Seki City knife again....

I place the blame on using a them and not Golden or Taiwan. I didnt even pay attention to where it was manufactured until I received it, but like others I’m a little disappointed in this one.

I’d be happy with a s30v and black g10 version.

Re: PPT CF Sprint - liner material?

Just snagged one from River’s Edge. Seems like there hasn’t been as much love for this like the other recent sprints. I’ll take this a Para 3 sprint or Manix all day. Sculpted carbon feels great. Blade looks like a good combo of utility and self defense. Looks like Tashi Bharucha was influenced by t...

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?

I managed to get one. I don’t get why some guys thought this would be around for days. This model isn’t even available in other forms like the PM2 or Manix sprints.

Re: Official Sliverax Discussion Thread

For whatever reason the Sliverax didn’t appeal to me when it was first released, but I finally decided to get one a few weeks ago and it hasn’t left my pocket. Perfect ergonomics and size for a “gentleman’s” EDC. The carbon fiber is very nice and grippy and my flips reasonably well. I wasn’t expecti...

Re: Spyderco Paysan

I'm a bit surprised by the price, too. I thought I heard Eric say this one would be a little cheaper than the Nirvana since it doesn't sport the wrap-around handle engraving. While I can understand these are not cheap to manufacture, I think that once you cross the $500 threshold, saving a little m...

Re: Spyderco Paysan

I’m still gonna buy this one. The argument for mid techs and customs doesn’t work for me. I’ve handled some garbage mid techs and customs. I trust Spyderco to make a quality product and back it up.

Re: Let's get hyped for the Amalgam!

This is a must buy for me, very cool story about the design process. Gunda, how did you get your design to Spyderco and what was it like working with them?

The Maxamet PM2 has fast become my daily carry. Hopefully it’s a success and is produced for years to come.

For me it’s the Shaman. Do it all knife. Love it. Hoping for more runs with different steels and scales.

Re: Spyderco Shaman News and Gossip Thread

I had to adjust the pivot for a few days, just making the tiniest movements back and forth until i was able to get it to fall almost shut and have no blade play. When i first got it it would barely fall halfway when I’d release the compression lock. This was my first Spyderco to have this issue. I a...
