Re: Ever regretted purchasing a Spyderco model or no?

Ikuchi. Only knife I've ever owned that drew blood when trying to open it. It desperately needs some CQI.

Re: Maxamet Para 3 in stock

National Knives has the Para 3 Maxamet in stock on their website. What I find disturbing is they also have listed them on ebay for $210.93 rather than $191.95 - effectively advertising for two different prices to get chumps on ebay to pay more. I hope I'm not the only one bothered by this. They're ...

Re: Maxamet Para 3 in stock

MidwayUSA still shows 8 in stock. They charge sales tax to my state so I ordered from White Mountain which does not.

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

I see ebay is having some 4th of July deals on a few Spydercos. Slim pickings but it's something at least.

Hopefully this link works:

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

It's not just NY and it's not just eBay. https://taxfoundation.org/supreme-court-decides-wayfair-online-sales-tax-case/ Interesting, I didn't see that. I saw a few states were gradually being taxed. Didn't realize it was that many! If that's the case, you'd think Ebay would realize they are going t...

Re: s90v SHAMAN IS OUT

Question for those who have received their Shaman S90V. Mine arrived today. This is my first Shaman and I have a question about the action when closing the blade. All the comp lock Spydercos I have when I fully depress the lock bar the blade essentially falls shut. With this Shaman I received, when...

Re: s90v SHAMAN IS OUT

Just picked one up on ebay from whitemountainknives. I received a promotion for 13% back in ebay bucks which comes out to $36. That made it a no brainer for me.

Re: Don't get cut with a ffg blade

Are you referring to cyanoacrylate? Tissue adhesives like Dermabond have been available for 20+ years.

Agree preventing the accident in the first place is the best policy. Would you care to share how your accident occurred as a lesson for others?

Re: Finally pulled the trigger on a Lil’ Native.

Every time I need to use my Lil Native I'm reminded why it continues to stay in my EDC rotation while others have come and gone.

Re: What's your favorite Spyderco that's a little bit of a "hidden gem?"

For a small EDC hidden gem, I really like the Lil Nilakka. It has a bit of a retro look and is perfect for a number of light-duty tasks. I carry mine regularly. I wanted to really like the full-size Nilakka but it was just too bulky in the pocket. https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-20b20frsxz/images/st...

Re: Ikuchi - fantastic knife!

I ordered through KC too, was on the short list, it was delivered in 4 days. I agree totally with you, it’s a great knife. It’s something really quite different from Spyderco. I flipped it so much when it came my index finger got a bit ripped up from the flipper wheel. Beyond that, it’s a superb de...

I would kill for a super steel DF2. DLC M4 please, or even a black handled Salt Lc200n DLC.
ZDP-189 isn't super enough for you?
