Spyderco Forums

I like the Buck design, but Spyderco wins with ergos, different steels, and blade shape. Buck has the deep carry clip, Micarta if you wish, and it’s made in the USA.

So I’ll happily take and use the Buck if it’s given to me, but I’ll BUY the Spyderco.

Old stock?

I love mine. The size is excellent, ergos work very well for me, and the blade shape is something I’ve never tried before. And it looks the business, the CF ply looks nice and feels great. One odd thing I will say is that the very end of the blade sticks up through the compression lock opening, so m...

I like this idea, Sal. More focused on what’s coming out soonish, and we have a better idea of when.

And I’m in for a Meerkat.

Thanks Sal for chipping in here and there. Rare a business owner ever talks about the underlying business issues and thoughts behind a price increase. It’s illuminating. As for mid-priced knives of high value quotient, what of the Cat, Chicago, Polestar, Alcyone, Persistence, Tenacious and the like?...

Serrated Endura 1, and (does this count?) a Benchmade AFCK back in ‘96. The Endura’s in a box somewhere; I carry the AFCK very occasionally since it’s so large.

Any other CQI about that Cat? I have a BD1 version.

I have one of those AFCK’s. My second “tactical” knife, got it in... ‘95 I think? My first was a Gen 1 Endura.

I’m pretty sure different knife manu’s might have “tells” when it comes to their output and Spyderco probably knows them. So get the fake, look for the tells, ID the factory.

Northern Virginia.

Rhino, thanks to the eBay 10% off.

Used it to grab a Rhino (finally) for less than $100 shipped.

Sold out now.

Out of stock now.

Scorpius. I really liked how off-the-wall it looked, and the handle must have been a joy to, well, handle.

Preordered a Delica. This and the sprint Caly will pretty much do for my LBK needs along with my Cat.

I have an ATS-34 AFCK from around '94-'95, and it looks more like a Spyderco than any other non-Spyderco knife I've ever seen, from the hole to the blade shape to the overall handle ergonomics. Pretty sure Benchmade had a license from Spyderco for those things though - I think I remember the BM cata...

I love my Cat as well. A Taichung made Cat, with the same upgrades the Rhino is getting, would be a no-brainer.

Scorpius. I just like it.

That looks excellent. I like how the blade folds down neatly into the handle. So long as the price isn't outrageous, like $110-$120, I'm on.
