Time for a next-gen Centofante?

I love my Centofante 3 and carry it frequently during the work week. In fact, I'm on my third one because I keep gifting them to very appreciative beneficiaries. Slim, light, super ergos, what's not to like? But I've been pondering changes I'd like to see in a next-gen model and was wondering if oth...

Re: Spyderco double stuff 2 has landed.

Got mine in today. Now maybe I can finally get and keep my Salts sharp. I just touched up a couple of traditionals with it and the offset edges are truly useful. I even stropped them on the suede sleeve to finish up. I like the CBN side as well. Seems to compare favorably with diamond, from my persp...

Transluscent FRCP

Does anyone know of any plans Spyderco might have regarding the use of Transluscent FRCP? I keep waiting for something in dark orange, lime green, red or even purple. But it never seems to happen.

I love my blue Manix 2 LW and would be pretty stoked to see some new color variations. Please Sal?

I'm tempted, but I just don't see this one kicking my zdp or vg10 Enduras out of my pocket just yet.

Re: WTMEDC-Way Too Much Everyday Carry

I almost always have at least 3 knives on me: - Titanium Boker Subcom as my money clip - Manbug or GEC #25 in my coin/watch pocket - Spydie folder (Dragonfly/Delica/Endura/Native 5 LW/Manix) clipped in my right front pocket On weekends I usually add an Esee Izula or Esee 3 in a pocket sheath in my r...

Re: Poll: Favorite FRN/FRCP color

Orange or Green FRCP translucent get my votes. I love my Manix LW in translucent blue FRCP and don't understand why Spyderco hasn't yet released any other FRCP translucent models.

Re: Suggestions for new Lightweight models?

I'm with you on the plain edges. My only SE Spydies are Salt models and I'm still trying to get used to them. I like them but haven't yet learned to love them.

Re: S90V Fluted Carbon Fiber Native 5 is alive!

Pretty, but I'm not pulling the trigger on another Native until I see one with a with a wire clip. The new Lil Native compression lock looks like it will be the next one for me. Hopefully Spyderco will eventually put a wire clip on a Full size LW Native some day. Translucent FRCP..... wire clip........

Re: Suggestions for new Lightweight models?

Native 5 LW: - orange or lime green translucent frcp handles - black hardware and black deep carry wire clip - back lock (compression lock works for me as well) - black blade (hap40 or cts-xhp or 110 steel) It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they gave the Stretch 2 this treatment as well. I've got it b...

Re: New Models Dropped: Salt 2, Fish Hunter

Salt 2 arrived yesterday. It's definitely beefier/thicker than the Salt 1. Also thicker than my Delica 4. I had to tighten the pivot a bit to eliminate some minor lateral blade play. Now it's a little stiffer to open but not bad. I'll be interested in seeing how it wears in, but in the meantime I mi...

Re: New Models Dropped: Salt 2, Fish Hunter

Yellow SE Salt 2 on the way. Can't wait to compare it with one of my Delica 4s. I wonder if the backlock was updated? My Native 5 LW and Manix Backlock have set a pretty high bar.

Manix 2 Backlock. Simple, solid, and it has the amazing new back lock. Sort of a magnum N5 LW.
