Spyderco Forums

I will be 39 next month. I guess I'm technically a millennial.. but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who knows me that hasn't called me an old man at some point. I often find that I have more in common.. interests, hobbies, musical tastes, life philosophy, etc.. with the older crowd. I've joked ...

Happy birthday Jim! Hope it's a good one!

My AD15 Lite arrived last Tuesday! I was pretty busy at work last week, but I spent a little bit of time with it in the evenings and over the weekend. It’s pretty nice.. definitely has that overbuilt, brutish Cold Steel DNA. I haven’t done much actual cutting yet, but the blade feels ready to work.....

Looks just like mine - pre-CQI Jan 2019 manufacture - and it locks up the same today as it did five years ago.

So long as your Chef's lock-up is secure, I wouldn't expend too much energy nitpicking over the percentages.. use the knife; if the lock ever fails, Spyderco will take care of it.

I've recently become a *little* interested in the AD15 Lite. It looks like a cool, fun design. It's also fairly low-priced. IF I ever buy another knife ever again in the future. My main hesitation around it is I don't trust that the pocket clip isn't a pocket eater, like every other CS pocket clip....

CKW is a drop-shipper.. my understanding is they maintain a number of online sales channels, but don't keep a physical storefront or large inventory on hand anywhere in one specific location, so orders will ship from all over depending on what you order and where the inventory is located, i.e a whol...

Depends on the design for me.. obviously, a choil works best on smaller knives.. and I do really like various knives featuring each of the choices.. but generally..if you put a gun to my head and told me to pick one.. I most prefer handle forward designs, be they from Spyderco or other makers..

I'm not a huge country guy, but I used to go to his concerts with a group of friends who were really into him. I went to 4-5 shows between maybe 2008 and 2015.. that man was an entertainer, it can't be denied.. fan of country music or not, his concerts were always a good time! The tailgating environ...

AppleTV went about a year without putting out any content that I was even remotely interested in, so I cancelled the service.. sure enough, now this show comes out and actually looks really good! Hah, I may have to wait until all the episodes are out and fire up the AppleTV again for a month to watc...

Had to check my spreadsheet.. 7 Spydercos in 2023. More than I would have guessed without looking, but significantly fewer than in years past.. I think the biggest reason for the decrease in 2023 is that I've been into knives for long enough that I no longer feel the need to "buy every new knif...

That's not encouraging. I also ordered te Stretch 2 XL Salt SE and have been patiently waiting. No email, yet. Same here. Well.. no follow-up email on my Stretch 2 XL Salt order that is.. Dack sends me at least an email a day otherwise hahah. I agree, not encouraging.. i'm still hoping for the best...

Mixed in among all the recommendations for knife reviews on my youtube was this song mashup.. it turned out that I actually enjoyed it.. I've listened to it a bunch over the last couple days..

Hate to interrupt a perfectly nonsensical argument with on-topic commentary, but here I go.. I'm quite looking forward to the SpyMyto. One of my more recent Spyderco purchases was the SpyOpera - I bought it because it was deeply discounted and I couldn't pass up the deal. I ended up liking it even m...

Idk, all this talk of "walk away knives" sounds a bit far-fetched.. but, I will admit to seeing some appeal in the Delica platform..

MidwayUSA has a sale code available for Cold Steel & SOG, which seems to work with already-discounted models.. take an extra 25% off an already ridiculously low $49.99 on the 4Max Scout using code KNIVES121123.. pretty sweet deal.

I'm a pretty empathetic guy, but I can't muster the tiniest fraction of an ounce of sympathy for people complaining about these MYSTERY (hello!!!??? :zany ) boxes on the internet. I get the desire to gamble and couldn't care less how other people spend their money.. cool if it pays off for someone ...
