I don't care much for finger choils but I would pick a Stretch over an Endela any day of the week: the finger bumps are not as annoying on the Endela as they are on the Endura or the Delica... but they're still there!

It is now in BD-1N steel with Grey G-10. Unfortunately the Denim G-10 was changed.

I'm not sure about the Polestar, but there have been batches of the Alcyone with both BD1N steel and the blue/grey denim G-10. They're probably harder to find now, though.

Now you can answer the question: what's the best steel?

I will only buy a black knife if (1) the blade is also black or (2) the handle is carbon fiber. Otherwise it's a no go.

I mostly like vivid colors but the K390 blue is great and I would love to see some BRG again (preferably not as dark as it is on the ZDP-189 knives... which are almost black ).

I'm one whose fingers don't quite line up with the Endura, so the bumps make it less comfortable than other Spydercos I had exactly the same problem with the Endura (or the Delica, for that matter) and I quickly sold it for that very reason: nice blade, great size but poor ergonomics (for me, at le...

I don't, but the only tool steel knife I have is a K390 Police... and with K390 you really don't need to force anything

What is the plus side of the Rockjumper opposed to a Delica Wharnie SE ? Both the handle and the blade are a bit longer, with a slightly better handle-to-blade ratio as well. The handle is more neutral, without the finger grooves that can be so annoying if your hand is not exactly the right size. O...

I really enjoy CF

You don't say!

Nice picture BTW

Kapara, without a doubt.

The factory said they can only do a partially serrated Resilience.

Oh right, I forgot about that . That's a shame, even though I'd personally choose the Police 4 over the Resilience anyway (and I would most certainly pick a Caribbean if I wanted a big sheepsfoot blade).

Isn't the fully serrated Resilience supposed to be coming soon?

I'd love to see a Kapara with CF scales and a good all-around steel, like S30V. Oh, wait

An Alcyone with Micarta scales and an upgraded steel would be nice too (S35V, LC200N, SPY27... take your pick).

Oddly enough, I like the original version so much that I'm not really looking forward to any kind of sprint run or exclusive of the Kapara (if that makes any sense). Sure, a Micarta handle could be nice (Micarta is always a nice option to have) but truth be told these CF scales are hard to beat. And...

Is it another PM2 or Para 3?

Certainly looks like a Para 3 to me (the blade doesn't seem slender enough for a PM2).

You're gonna need a bigger boat

Thanks for sharing!

Astute or Drunken, depending on who you ask :)

For one scary moment those last two pictures made me think Spyderco had reinvented the toilet seat.

They have, actually (SpyderSeat™, patent pending).

They haven't finalized it yet because they have a hard time finding testers (precisely because of that edge beveling problem you mentioned).

Lefty here... which didn't keep me from ordering a linerlock just today :) (not really fond of framelocks though)

Did I waste my money? Will I figure out how to sharpen it? Will I hate it? Or love it and go crazy and buy every SE Spyderco I can find? At the end of the day, buying (and of course using :)) a SE knife is the only way to really answer those questions once and for all. So whatever the answers are, ...

Yeah, Vivi is the Chuck Norris of sharpening... :p

Chuck Norris doesn't sharpen his knives. He frowns at them and they get sharp.
