Spyderco has to pay for the Golden, CO. plant expansion somehow.

Gotta be able to keep up production on all those Para 2 and Manix variants.

I think a quick and easy reply to the OP's question is that the knives have lock rock because the blades and lockbars are mass produced separately, then matched together later. I'm guessing that the knife being able to lock up is more important than whether there is a perceptible amount of lock rock...

The design of the Bodacious is interesting, but I hope to see it come out in a Native sized platform. The only thing that really grabbed my interest were the new Profile stones. They would be handy for when I travel and end up having to sharpen the in-laws kitchen knives. I think they would be easie...

The timing of the Reveals never made much sense to me. Seems to me they'd be better off releasing them when the knives were ready and about to ship out to dealers.

I have gone back to my younger days. I simply want a good pocket knife. Spyderco gave that to me with this slim, trim slip joint. It is nothing fancy and does everything I need a knife to do. I took the pocket clip off long ago and I simply put this in my pocket, where a pocket knife is supposed to...

Oops..double tap

Blade to handle ratio. I've never considered a knife based on how large the blade was relative to the handle. Seems completely nonsensical to me that it's a driving force for people's opinions on how good a certain knife is or is not. I used to agree with you here but the Resilience is starting to ...

Bearings give me anxiety simply on the idea that there's little gaps inside my washers, for crap to get in. Never went past the Civivi Elementum. Uncomfortable knife to hold, too. Looks like the button lock version was better, but I had washed my hands already. On another note of deployment I kinda...

Still one of my all time favorites. I wish I had kept my G-10 sprint version.

I don't get knives with bearings. It seems asinine to add more moving parts to what should be a simple tool. Flippers. Really, any opening method that doesn't allow me to control the opening of the blade through its entire arc. Flippers and bearings belong on toys, not serious using knives. Speaking...

I went from all of my knives having to be this size and look like this:



To buying this thing and losing interest in any other modern folders:

FFG Delica 4 blade with Delica 3 handle.

One ounce isn't that big of a deal unless you're going into space or hiking up a mountain.

It just looks like the lockbar wasn't ground to spec on top. You could probably take care of it yourself with some sandpaper and take to cover the areas you don't want sanded.

How about some fresh designs rather than just rehashes or reworks of the same models over and over again?

Rockjumper/Leafjumper No choils. No deep finger grooves or points. No cut out for a Compression lock tab. Handle design allows the hand to get close to the edge while still providing a guard. In a close second is the Spyderco Astute, for many of the same reasons. Dragonfly is third, because it uses ...

Isn't the saying that Spyderco's are designed in the dark? Maybe they should have turned the lights on for this one. Sorry, but it looks like the sort of modern design I'd expect to see from Buck.

Pacific Salt and gen3 Endura. I prefer the Endura3 handle over the ugly gen4 style. I never understood that “CQI”. It’s not an improvement IMO. Sal, please bring back the gen3 Endura handle.

If nothing else, get rid of the pockets in the scales of the Salt models

I'm not a collector. Once I find the one that checks all the boxes for me, I won't feel the need to buy anymore.

The OG military had an aluminum backspacer. Was it? I was under the impression that it was polymer or G10. Pretty sure that's what mine was at least. Some folks have mentioned aluminum not doing well when threaded, but I also think that aluminum liners might not have the tensile strength of steel o...
