Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!

Looks like the Serrated Delica Wharnie is still available at $45, and the Black Meadowlark Stainless Partial Serrated is only $23.

Re: Opinions Wanted: Top 5 Best Spydercos

My hands are average-sized, so my preference skews towards ~3" blades. 1. Delica / Meadowlark - Perfect size, weight, and ergonomics for EDC. This one fits juuust right. Bonus points to the Delica for its ergonomics, but it's hard to fault the Meadowlark at its price. 2. Tasman Salt - Combines ...

It checks all the right boxes for me.
Deep carry clip
Excellent flipping action
Lightweight
Compression lock
Fine tip
Plus it looks amazing.

This is my first $100+ knife, and I think it's worth every penny.

Re: I gave my best knives away. Now what?

I'm really happy with my Sliverax as my go-to blade -- but I love flippers. No sprints that I'm aware of, though.

Re: What's your 2 knife EDC system?

I usually just carry one knife, but when I carry two it is usually my Kershaw Leek with my Tasman Salt. Between the 2, I can handle anything that might come up at home, work, or anywhere in between. If I'm hiking or camping I'll stow the Leek and instead carry a Morakniv Companion fixed blade with t...

Re: What's the best Spyderco EDC Knife?

This is a loaded question, to be sure. For me, an ideal EDC knife is somewhere around 3" long, and is relatively lightweight. My favorite Spydercos that fit that description are the Delica, Tasman Salt, Centofante, UKPK, and Para 3. Be aware that when I carry a Spyderco, I often also carry a *w...

Re: What was your first Spyderco?

My first was the Black CF Positron, around this time last year when it on clearance. Before that, I had never spent more than ~$35 on a knife. It sold me on Spyderco and on quality steel.

Re: Buying my second Spyderco.

Yea I really like the PM2 it is about the same size as the Tenacious. I’m not sure if I will like the ball bearing lock on the Manix 2. The Native 5 looks great, but maybe a little to small like the PM3 too. I do however love the leaf shaped blade on the Manix 2, and Native 5. If I did order one, i...

Re: Most underrated Spydercos?

Also the UKPK. If I were a reasonable person, I could get by just fine with that as my only knife. Even though I have several fancier Spydies to choose from, it's the one I always grab first if I'm in a hurry. Couldn't agree more on the UKPK. It's so slim & light that you forget it's there. Awe...

Re: My thoughts about the Positron

Excellent write up. The Positron was my first Spydie, and it 100% convinced me of Spyderco quality. I no longer own it, as the role it would have occupied was already filled by another knife, and I can't afford to have duplicate knives to meet a single role. If money was no object I'd still have it,...

Re: Slim Spydies - Recommendations?

Apologies for not being clear. I'm mostly referring to slim as in distance from back of scales/handle to top of spine of blade. I'd guess you'd say I'm referring to the overall width of the knife. With the BM940, for example, it's only about an inch or so wide. That's how I was defining slim. Added...

Re: Slim Spydies - Recommendations?

Since you asked about the Sliverax, here's a comparison with a Leek, which I consider by all definitions to be a "slim" knife. The Sliverax has a lot of blade for its size and it's by far my favorite knife, but I'm not sure if I'd call it especially slim. You might be better served with a ...
