Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Just got my Native 5 LW today. WOW. I own over a dozen Spydies and never bit on a Native before. I guess I always thought it was a little ugly. First impression was that it was smaller and fatter than I thought it would be, but the ergonomics are spot on and the utility of it could be unmatched. Not...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

Another guy waiting for a CF Chaparral to arrive! Congratulations! Prepare to be impressed. I love mine. ;) Thanks! I got it about an hour ago and initial impressions are very positive. As an owner of a number of Taichung Spydies over the past few years, this guy lives up to the reputation of amazi...

Re: Help me choose a spydie-gift

I'm going through the same thing for my Dad's 70th Bday. He's a classic SAK guy, so I want to get him a larger working blade, but something he will actually carry because weight/size is a factor. At this point, I'm leaning toward a Sage1 or Sage2. I find them to be right in the middle size and weig...

Re: Black Friday deals

The Jet.com 20% off coupon has scored me many knife deals. Right now it only brings the Sharpmaker down to about $50, but the prices on the site change often. Most of the Spydercos ship from Reds Gear. I just bought the Diamond rods and Ultra Fine rods for my Sharpmaker and regret not buying them so...

Re: Bradley folder 2

I just put a GB2 on preorder and can't wait to do a comparo. My well used GB is still my favorite workhorse (maybe favorite knife of all time, seriously), and I have a BNIB backup just in case.

Re: What Took Me So Long? The Sage and This Forum

Congrats on the Sage1. From the first time I fingerbanged it at the shop I was in love. I finally scored a Sage4 to complete the family. Its a fatty, but dang, it might be my favorite.

Re: Why doesn't Spyderco sell replacement parts?

How about clips? I needed a new clip for my Dragonfly2 and was quoted $6. Meanwhile Benchmade, ZT, and Kershaw will all send new clips for free without question. A steep $6 for replacement wire clip was a bit of a turn off.

Dragonfly Carbon Fiber S110v. Classy knife to give the Chaparral some competition.

Re: Upcoming 2016 Pre Orders at KC

I'm ordering a Gayle Bradley 2, but something about it made me order another GB1 as back up! God I love this knife and can't imagine liking the GB2 as much without the choil.

Re: Afraid to get the Chaparral...

My Chaparral lives in my pocket all week, clipless. GB on the weekends, Manix2 S110v LW on the trail. The Sharpmaker and a little patience can handle all of those "super" steels no problem. In many pictures the Sage 1 looks to be a very similar size, but its TWICE the knife in hand. I find...

Re: OFFICIAL 2016 Discontinued List

I think I have to buy another GB right now. I'm scared that they dropped the choil from the GB2!
