Spyderco Forums

I'm still very pro VG-10. It's tough enough for me to use in the kitchen, stainless enough for me to forget about it until the next morning, and takes a sharp enough edge in no time flat. I've run the gamete of super steels and my most used knives are all in either VG-10, 52100, or 1095. Have one in...

Get a mule and fashion yourself some handle scales. That'll kill some time

I want a high carbon anything. My 52100 PM2 has supplanted my Hap40 Caly3 as my EDC. I'd love any of those steels, but since the Native is a Golden knife it deserves 52100.

I know the seller from my Colorado swap meet and pawn shop days. I once saw him selling a knife I had passed on at a pawn shop as new and it most definitely was not. When I asked him about it he banned me from bidding on his auctions. Still banned, no regrets. Not trustworthy.

Second the Jot Singh Khalsa and my first ever spyderco, the Wenger in ATS-34. Man I miss that knife.

For me it's hap40. Gets sharp, stays sharp, cuts everything, and I haven't gotten it past a light gray even when I try to force a patina. Put it in a fixed blade so I can retire every other knife I own.

Eric, no question. Sal would give me the knife he liked most at the moment. Eric would give me the knife that best fit my ergonomics and use. Just how they each design and get excited about knives.

One particular auction site, the one that rhymes with Tree Day, has many older Enduras and Delicas pretty regularly. In fact, I'm likely going to pick one up myself.

Permanent, no. Seriously chipped edges that were annoying to sharpen out, yes.

I think Spyderco will reveal that it now plans to make heroin because y'all are hardcore knife junkies!

Fit and finish are good enough for me on the Chinese Spyderco line. The big advantage here is the edge to handle ratio and the ergonomics, both of which are great. I'll be happy to pick one up in S35VN. To me, it's worth it over the ergos and shorter blade on the Native. And I have owned a lot of Na...

After an ER visit and seven stitches, my wife says I'm not allowed to have any more balis

MULE TEAM™ 31 CPM® S45VN! More mules! Both Green Lc200N Pac Salt and Atlantic look awesome, and the blacked out manbug warnie will be mine. I guess that will be 4 knives on the Christmas list along with the new CBN benchstone. The Colorado PM2 looks really cool too! How did we go from MT28 (SPY27) ...

I want all of them, but I'm afraid that I'll buy an S35VN Tenacious and never need another knife again.

Absolutely. I had one of the USN toxic green Catchermen and I loved it. Would be in for a plain edge in a stainless steel. Honestly, I think this would be great in VG-10 for the kitchen or LC200N for a salt knife.

Yes. That's all

So far they've picked mostly Golden made models for the Jade/M4 run, but they did do the Lum Tanto which is Seki made. They've also revived a few discontinued models, so why are we limiting ourselves to existing models when we can remake some of the greats!? Give me a Terzuola Starmate or a Phoenix,...
