Spyderco Forums

The only Kershaw I still have and use is an S30V CF Skyline. Still one of the best EDCs I've ever carried. It's one major flaw is the poorly designed pocket clip, but I remedied that early on with a deep-carry titanium replacement. I also replaced the cheesy backspacer with a couple of titanium spac...

M390 and K390 (DLC) for me. I tend to reserve the 'tough' steels for fixed blades.

My vote would be to use the Sprig as a template, maybe even a little smaller. About 4.5" on the handle with a 3mm thick 3" ffg blade. Bird and Trout designs are very handy. Small enough to edc yet big enough to be useful for many purposes.

You know, 90% of the 'down the rabbit hole' threads on this forum can be attributed to 'steel junky reasons'. More folks need to fall back on that instead of getting all butt hurt and inflamed.

At the end of the day, I just want more transluscent FRCP like on the BD1 Manix 2 LW. I'm perfectly fine with how both FRN and FRCP feel and function, neither has ever failed me. So I'm more inclined to daydream about a transluscent orange Native 5 LW, or a transluscent gray Manix 2 LW with DLC blad...

What a great opportunity for a different transluscent color!

Sorry, I wasn't much help here. I just saw this as a prime opportunity to shamelessly pass another hint in hopes that Sal will see it. I too am looking forward to checking out BD1N steel.

My blue transluscent Manix LW is one of my favorite folders. I have used this knife hard, but not inappropriately, for several years. Still as tight as the day I bought it. Granted, I don't use my knives as prybars. I keep waiting for Spyderco to bring out a new transluscent FRCP knife in another co...

I'm a devout proponent of tip-up carry, and have always opted for that configuration. I even got rid of some knives because tip-up wasn't an option. But recently I took a hard look at my Paramilitary 2 and Para 3 because I just couldn't get comfortable with how they felt in-hand and also how they fi...

Dark blue FRN, deep-carry wire clip, ffg XHP..... most excellent indeed! Lately I've been choosing fixed blades over large folders, but I'd make an exception for one of these.

I wipe my DLC Spydies down with mineral oil now and again. Seems to do the trick and it's food safe.

Linerless FRN and backlock like the Chap LW would be awsome. Add a wire clip and a bug inlay ftw.

I'd find it hard to resist but I'd also like to see it at least get a deep carry clip upgrade.

Hoping for an all black dlc linerless G10 in s35 before they transition to s30...

Thanks! Next question, how long between the CC release and the general release? I've really been looking forward to this one.

What's the "002V" marker on the blade indicate?

Hmmm..... Seems like a prime opportunity for a Centofante update. Dark green FRN, gold bug, M390, tip up deep carry wire clip...

I'm on my 4th. I keep giving them away to people who can appreciate them. They are a reasonable price and a high value. Plus they sit right on the edc intersection of form and function. I've dissected many a large apple and rescued more than a few picnics with my Centofante 3.

I'm on board! How about linerless G10 or CF and a wire clip? XHP and keep the bug inlay for the win.

Wonder if it's a supply thing? Didn't Cold Steel just switch from XHP to S35 because of a supply issue?

+1 on the positive feedback for the Resilience. Sexiest blade profile of any of my Spydies, regardless of price. It's become my 'ready for most anything' knife. I generally carry it when I might need a big blade that will still bury well in a pocket. It's also surprisingly nimble for such a large fo...
