Spyderco Forums

Patrol in my department is issued the Spyderco assist in all black. I know the marine unit uses the original jumpmaster as well. Many officers I’ve talked to over the years carry a Delica. I wish we were issued nice knives. I have heard some depts specifically ban carrying a knife or discourage it ...

Thanks for all the info, I'm going to experiment with some stropping paste on the rough side and keep the smooth side clean. mostly for between sharpening touch ups and experimenting with finishing.

are these only at BHQ? Doesn't really matter to me as I like BHQ but if they are widely distributed I don't have to watch them like a hawk if they sell out in 30 seconds.

The one in the video looks like the lum tanto blade shape, if they keep that I would 100% be buying one

its kind of a MEH for me. Interesting design but doesn't speak to me personally

watch the shot show video from knife center, Eric talks about it and the new release plan. Should be delivered this quarter. They didn't show the sheath yet anywhere that I have seen.

Eric said in the bladehq and knife center videos that they are shipping this week.

I was skeptical when the first announced it and a little disappointed when the 2019 catalog came out in Dec and nothing really new was in it. Now that the first reveal dropped I'm liking it. I think having steady product drops through the year will keep the excitement and discussion up.

love the look of it, I'm normally not a tanto guy but that looks slick. I hope it has the japanese style tanto blade shape like the lum tanto.

I don't typically buy duplicates of knives but the wharncliff endura and Tanto PM 2 are different enough that I'm really interested. Can't wait to see what steels/scale options they come in.

I've handled the Damascus Endura that a friend owns, it is beautiful. I don't think he heavy uses it by any means but it had no noticeable issues. I thought about it when I purchased my delica but it was more $$ than I wanted to spend on that particular knife.

I just got a paddle style strop for my b-day. Rough on one side, smoother on the other. There is no abrasive included or on the leather. My current sharpening is done with the sharp maker standard stones +ultra fine stones following the standard recommended guidelines in the manual and video. I had ...

One of the problems with LE in the U.S. is that there is a very wide disparity in pay, training, attitude, ect from state to state and even jurisdictions within states. Many are paid well and have good training, usually the ones that don't dominate the news cycle.... There is also a sort or urban le...

Everyone carries at least one knife. More cheapo ones than I would like to see. I think a lot of it depends honestly on what the cop shop in the area has in the case. Around here they stocked spyderco's and bench made autos so thats what a lot of the guys carry. A few ZT's, and a few Gerbers also.

Has there been a sprint or special edition in the XL? I would love to see that.

I don't have any experience with M390, does it rust or corrode easily? I like the satin blade but would go with the DLC black if it corrodes easily.

I love the stretch blade shape, hoping for a sprint or new steel in 2019.

BHQ is showing a brown handled Manix in M390 in the coming soon. I haven't heard anything about this knife yet. Anyone know if this is an exclusive anything else about it?

I have been wanting a manix and something in M390 for a while. This one may push me over the edge, I even like the color.

I wonder if it will come out in any colors/steel options. I am trying to rack up all the classic spyderco's in my collection but don't need any more black FRN w/ VG10

I understand it both ways. People are upset about their pre order knives that haven't shipped in months and the content whining and asking for timeframes on releases gets old. At the same time a lot of the fun of the forum is looking at whats new/upcoming and speculating about dates and details, it ...

I got Endura in V-Tuko last year, I'm hoping for a stretch in a limited steel or sprint run in 2019.
