Re: Native Scout?
OK, I gotta admit, that's a very attractive size. Seeing it won me over. Can we just scootch the finger choil back into the handle a bit? There's plenty of room, and it'd leave more edge available for cutting.

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations
I may sound stuck in my ways but I wouldn’t change anything about the gray frn vg10 version for an frn version of the knife. Exotic high carbon super steels interest me too but there’s something to be said about well balanced fairly low cost effective vg10 steel. It’s all I really need for my uses,...

Re: Calypso Jr Sprint Run Considerations
The Caly Jr is such a well designed short bladed folder that you could use it for all kinds of new innovations. It was the absolute perfect Spyderco model to introduce ZDP-189 blade steel which they did in 2005. The Burgundy, ZDP-189 Caly Jr. should go down as one of the top 10 best knives Spyderco...

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
^ I've often lost my pinch grip trying to pull my clipped-in CF Caly from my waistband. It's pretty durn slippery! Though I take your point that it does not shred pants.

Re: Chaparral
I'd like to see more steels for the Chaparral since it's one of my favorite knives. It's an exquisite, near-perfect design. Any or all of K390, S90V, SPY 27 and MagnaCut would be great. If Spyderco chose FRN rather than an exotic scale material, that would be fine. FRN is nice as is or, like Doc Da...

Re: Bodacious Update?
Just wanted to share that I think this is a really beautiful design for a working tool. At a $260 street price this is pretty firmly out of the “working tool” category. It does look nice though. Maybe for you. I have plenty of working tools over that mark. Semantics. I read Zhyla's post as meaning:...

Re: How do you close your Manix 2?
Pinch, pull, swipe spine against thigh, pocket.
For all the jimping the Manix has, it could use some at the back of the handle where it contacts the palm, so it doesn't slip when closing one-handed.

Re: Sal, a handle forward Lil Native?
...Completely different story with the Native 5: HERE a choil actually makes the LEAST sense imho. A choil-less Native 5 would, differently to the Lil Native, definitely offer enough space on the handle for almost all hand sizes AND give us more cutting edge. Win-win in my book. While the current N...

Re: did somebody say magnacut manix...?!
Well eBay must have completed a very very thorough review because they've already gotten back to me and said that it is not in violation of their policy. Apparently their policy allows counterfeits. As per usual do not buy or sell knives on eBay. I've been wondering what would happen if I bought on...

Re: did somebody say magnacut manix...?!
A heads up to LW Manix fanciers. Josh recently noticed that counterfeiters have made a LW Manix mold, and are producing fakes of Manix LWs in "Maxamet," "S90V," "MagnaCut," and "BD1N." They are for sale at low prices on eBay and appear to be selling in quantit...
