I've been eyeing that but it doesn't have the divot opener which i think is genius and one of the best features.

I used to be the type that would never look at a slipjoint always wanting a strong lock and overbuilt tanks. But as I've grown older I realized i didn't need a tank. The roadie looked like a nice design and was inexpensive enough to try so I bought one and I loved it. Surprisingly, it's one of my fa...

looks like a folding temperance but with a choil. might need to get me one of these.

These are the two knives in my current EDC rotation. I find the Military more useful and efficient for my purposes which is opening packages and breaking down boxes for work. For me the negative angle of the blade on the Military makes all the difference. It lets you use the tip more easily and allo...

Two of my GBs do the same thing. They make a slight rattle in the pivot area when opening the blade fast. Not sure what it is exactly but it does not affect lock up or detent hold. Blade is centered and there is no play so I'm not worried.

Just received my second one today. The drilled liners make the knife feel much lighter in hand when comparing side by side with the old one. Has more of the familar "Spydie" feel to it. Lightweight, high performance. However, it has lost the ridiculously overbuilt "clank" sound w...

Thank you for responding Eric. I'll send it in for you guys to look at. Where exactly would you like me to send it to? I'm not sure which dept.

It was great fun while it lasted. Really cool product! Well I did order an extra one that I was gonna give to a friend... :rolleyes:

I was wondering if anyone was having the same problems I am having with the new black baliyos. Not even a week old and its broken :( Everytime i dropped it i would get parts of the plastic breaking off from where the metal rings are. The entire "head" where the metal weight sits finally co...

The way I see it is that since black handled saber ground knives are the best selling, if you introduce a FFG blade with a funky color, the EUL (non-afi's) will almost always choose the better looking knife (black saber ground) when given the choice between the two. Therefore, the handle color for t...

Thats super cool. Wish i could get a hold of one of those.

If you are willing to spend 100+ on your mag mod you should look into the classic Mag85 mod which will blow the ROP out of the water. You can find all the parts to build on on CPF. A bit ridiculous and totally impractical at night...but its oh so fun!

I'll take 1427.
Thanks for the chance Spyderco! :spyder:

I got one on the bay for 165. I haven't gotten such a functional yet fun knife like this in a long time. Fit and fin are as good if not better than the Mili. I personally like the ergos better as well. Being a "larger" knife the blunt tip doesn't scary NKPs as much either. This knife is de...

Are there still plans for bamboo shaped handles and other unique handles?

With many "cheaper" models like the Tenacious and Byrds now having G-10 handles, maybe the CF is used to differentiate the budget models from the premium? Just an idea :o

Really awesome work there!
If you were to make posters of your "Spooky Dicks" I would be the first one in line.

Time to replace my FG FRN endura :D
Of all my knives even knives costing twice the price the endura is the one i use and love the most!

You can try these. Very cheap and great bang for the buck!
I've been using them for a while now with no problems

Wow its been over a year since i preordered...hadnt noticed

This one is gonna be popular for sure!

Although it is visually appealing, I can't hold on to my dejavoo for my life its so slippery. I had a g-10 leak polished before i gifted it to a friend and it was much better in terms of grip than the dejavoo. So depending on how its done Id say yes and no. :o
