Spyderco Forums

My girlfriend loves the Para3, I let her try everything I had in my collection, and she chose the Para3 because it closed so effortlessly and she never had to put her fingers in the way of the blade. I tried steering her towards the Native5 but her mind was made up by the compression lock.

Thanks for the info! I feel like I'm leaning towards the small set, but I honestly wonder if they have actually done multiple runs of them. I don't really hear about them at all, I know that it's been 5 years or so, but I wonder how many first runs are sitting on shelves.

Has anyone tried out the Spyderco throwing knives? If so, what size have you tried? Small, Medium or Large? I don't own a set of throwing knives and know nothing about it really, but I'm tempted to pick up a set just for fun.

Any experience would be welcome.

Thanks

50% off MSRP for any Bark River Adventurer series knife at Knivesshipfree!

I just picked up an Adventurer - Elmax - Green Texas Fencepost, thanks for the tip!

New Graham Knives has them in stock, but OP is saying that he wants to buy direct from Spyderco.

I really enjoy my Shaman in 4V...it makes a great harder use folder.

My re-ground Mantra 2 (.008 BTE) this thing is a laser now!!

For me it's an S30V Native 5 for most tasks around the house, and a GB1 for doing actual work. Both absolutely rock solid models in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seen his content before, it's great! He got another new subscriber because of this thread...

Larrin, that was a really great, informative write up! The work you give to the knife community is seriously unmatched, thank you!

Thanks! I went ahead and ordered one with a couple of Z-Cuts to get the free shipping!

Now I'll have to find a place for my HAP40 Ladybug since she'll be getting kicked off of the keys...

I love the Chaparrals and would have a hard time passing on one with Canvas Micarta The LW Bi-Directional pattern is a little off to me, I may have bought one already if it was closer to the Seki FRN pattern. The others are a bit pricy. I'd love to see Micarta and a tool steel for $150 or less. Bon...

Very nice work! Obviously there are a lot of changes that would as you correctly labled, require a complete rebranding...I hope this goes somewhere though...

The changing of the "bug" I feel like will be the biggest hangup...it's on everything...

Hi all, I received my first spyderco knife today, the para3 lw. Out of the box this knife was extremely tough to open and close. I have read plenty of reviews that this knife should be buttery smooth opening, but struggling to get it open from my experience. Is this normal or should I return the kn...

I keep wanting to grab this knife, but just can't do it. I can't justify that price when I've already got a bigger blade with better ergos for $40 less (Manix 2) BUT...I know there's a lot of love for the G10 Native, and what better steel to grab it in!?! Hate being so torn by this one! I have to t...

Thanks Sal, I look forward to the discussions generated by this post!

Picked mine up locally yesterday!! My first Para 3 LW, no blade play and drop free action with good centering...

Paramilitary 2 Jade M4 Exclusive...I signed up for the wait list 18 months in advance...I knew I wanted a Para2 and the M4 and Jade seemed liked the perfect trigger. https://i.ibb.co/6JJBPW4/IMG-20191028-225145.jpg 40+ Spydies later and it's still all about the steel...I love what Spyderco exclusive...
