The rumored lightweight backlock Caribbean continues to be my dream knife. I hope we see one eventually!

Could be mine too and I hope so too! :clinking-mugs

Re: Salt Dreams

With all of the new salts coming out I can’t help but imagine what a Pacific Salt 3 could look like… maybe it can have Black and Green scales like the Magnacut Pm2 or Caribbean but with a Magnacut blade. One could dream The siren in an frn configuration that is black and green would also be really ...

Re: Weird info by a dealer concerning the CATCHERMAN: "[On the batch we have the]"blade chips on tubing"".. ? Any inputs

It’s hard to know what they mean when writing this, so I’ll refrain from guessing. I’m very surprised they have another batch on the way though. While I have arrangements in place to acquire one, it would be really awesome if a few more of these trickled out to European dealers before all stock is ...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?

Tried to give my general answer early on in this thread (https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?p=1784013#p1784013), all shaped around the fact that my personal "single best configuration" just has to feature a serrated blade. When it comes to PE though out of all Spydies I own and owned...

Re: SE Manix 2 XL

I’d definitely buy one! No lightweight, Gray G-10, FFG Cru-wear with the small serrated scallops. There is no lightweight Manix XL anyway... and as much as I´d like to see one (a lightweight XL), I totally get that the feel in hand and use should be amazing with the heavy, solid G10 liner version a...

Re: Shaman thoughts

After a long Journey of trying tons of knives, I eventually ended with the Shaman for my grail knife. It is imo the best folding knife ever produced. The ergonomics are outstanding, the whole knife is very refined, it is ment to be a serious user. Also, it is a beautiful knife. Not too heavy but ve...

Re: LC200N Catcherman help...

death-bringah , I don´t have a Catcherman yet (but actually one ordered and on its way) so I can´t try, but unfortunately (in this case) I am sure it can be flicked open, just like Nick reported. In my experience pretty much any Spyderco can, if one is used to and likes to open a folder that way (l...

^This x2. Criminally underrated knife in the line up. I don't even need the salt rated aspect of it. I'd still fanboy for the design if it was just S30v and black g10.

This, but with a backlock (or linerlock) ,would be so great.

Perhaps the blade is hitting the thong/lanyard hole FRN tube when closed.

Ah, thanks, that could be what they mean!

But then they are actually confunding the Catcherman with the Stretch XL (non LW) or something like that... the Catcherman does not have a lanyard hole tube...

Ordered a Catcherman sprint from Coutellerie Tourangelle (European online dealer, so far only good experiences): Since the knife did not arrive at "no later than May 14" as announced, I asked them what´s going on: Their reply (exact quote): "Actually C17 [Catcherman] that we have in s...

Tough question... From a practical/functional point of view for me the "best configuration" has to feature FRN, a backlock, an ffg blade with a pointy, but not TOO delicate tip and a long and of course "non aggressive" serrated edge... steel a not too hard but rather quick and ea...

Post a pic. You could be able to bend it out like already noted. It can also be ground/sharpened out if needed. Hard to guess what the best fix is without seeing it.

@Stid229 here viewtopic.php?p=1332284#p1332284 is a good way how to post pics.
