Re: Reputable Online Retailer Sugestions and Experiences Good or Bad

I've purchased from most already mentioned. I'll add Osogrande, River's Edge (Brian is the man) and re-mention Indiana Knives (Eric is great).

Re: Exclusive Sticky?

Doesn't the "Upcoming" thread already serve this purpose? It lists exclusives and sprints. https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82464&hilit=upcoming No the Shaman exclusive wasn’t listed before the drop and the PM2 was a reissue so not appropriate for that thread. An exc...

Re: M4 Shaman Exclusive

DLT PM2 20CV was my first priority since they both dropped at the same time. I might of picked up a Shaman if there were any left... Maybe... Still incredible they both sold out so fast. 2019 looks to be another hot year for sprints and exclusives.

Which sold out faster - this or the Shaman?

Shaman I believe.
When did the 20CV Shaman drop? EDIT: Never mind, you're talking about the BHQ M4 Shaman and I was thinking 20CV Manix.

Re: Greetings from a Lil native owner! Very pleased!

Lil Native comp lock is in my regular EDC rotation and sees frequent use. A comp lock sprint/exclusive would be a no-brainer purchase.

Re: More button compression locks?

Kevin Smock licensed the compression lock from Spyderco. Would Spyderco have to license the "button" from Smock? Otherwise I agree, it would be great to see the button lock again on a different model.

Re: Who else is getting an Ikuchi as soon as they are released?

So correct me if I’m wrong but this will be the first Spyderco flipper without ball bearings? You are wrong. The Ouroboros has washers (which is also Paul's design).

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

After a lot of looking I decided I'm happy with the Spydercos I have currently. The Paul Alexander Ikuchi is what I'm looking forward to next. So I picked up a Wicked Edge WE100. 15% off made it a good price.

Was the discount more than $100?
I don't believe there is a limit on how much you can spend, only that the max discount is $100.

Re: Who else is getting an Ikuchi as soon as they are released?

Hopefully with the Smock setting the new standard for detent in a Spyderco flipper, the Ikuchi will be great as well. I love the design of the Sliverax but the detent for flipping is weak at best.

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica

DLC is a far better coating as far as resistance to wear is concerned. My pac salt came new with 4 rub marks where the blade touches the handle upon closing. Yesterday I used it to open a window wash fluid jug, and the metal on the seal took the coating off, down to the H1 steel. I just haven’t had...

To me, it feels like this knife was designed around the button-comp lock and flipper tab more so than the hands of the end user.
I feel this is the key point of your review and agree that the needle points a bit more towards form rather than function. Still an interesting design.
