I'd be all over a Ti integral compression lock as long as it's plain edge.
Yeah, a titanium Cricket, with either compression or back lock, would be a great little office carry!

Re: Any word on the Salsa?

I’d certainly be interested in another titanium Salsa (with Cobra hood), but in Magnacut.

IMO the Slysz Bowie goes well with FOMO, but if it was always available it wouldn't be sough after that much.
Agreed. The knife is, objectively, nothing special, and falls short of other knives in its price range. FOMO is the primary driver in all this.

Re: Black Linen Micarta instead CF/G-10 please

I agree, but I’ll also note that the polished G-10 on the Darn Dao is really nice. I’d love to see more of it.

Only one, but it was a Paysan, so I’m not complaining.

I can get a Sebenza in Magnacut for $50 more, or a Les George VECP button lock in Magnacut for $425
That’s what I keep coming back to, also. Aside from scarcity induced FOMO, there’s really nothing exceptional about this knife in my opinion.

Re: Price increases for 2024

I've slowed down a lot as well, and have drastically thinned out my collection. I very rarely buy run of the mill production models anymore (although I just ordered an Emerson Dragonfly with the intention of adding Flytanium titanium scales) because they mostly bore me. I want something that's speci...

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

In its current configuration, that KJ exclusive is an easy pass for me at that price. Now, give us the original plain titanium scales and mirror stonewash Magnacut and they have my attention.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Well, as of about 20 minutes ago, I’ve got an Emerson wave Dragonfly on the way from DLT. I love the blade, but the plan is to put Flytanium titanium scales on it, because I despise FRN. Wanted to grab this one before the 2024 price increase.

Re: gray G-10 CPM-Cruwear... delica?

That would be interesting. I don’t care if it’s Cruwear or not, but I despise FRN, so the gray G10 would be a nice change.

Yeah, I’d love to see another titanium Salsa, with upgraded steel. More knives should have the cobra hood.

Well, I hadn't thought of that, but yeah. That would be great, especially in carbon fiber or a nice (not green or brown) micarta.

Re: I don't give a #@$! about stainless

I honestly can’t tell any difference, whatsoever, in any remotely modern steels, as my knives’ “uses” never begin to approach the limits of their materials. I suppose I’m not a “real man” either (not that I care), because my knives are overwhelmingly pocket jewelry and fidget toys. I’ve never even c...

Re: 2023 - Did your preferences change or stay the same?

I wouldn’t say that my preferences changed in 2023. It’s more that a trend continued to solidify. I continue to, overall, prefer smaller knives, and primarily in titanium (I despise FRN and don’t seek out G10). I’m also not someone who’s always chasing the perfect user knife. Honestly, I rarely even...
