why can't it be a collector piece that you plan to use? i use all my knives in my collection. i don't expect them to stay perfect, but i certainly expect them to come to me in the condition they are supposed to be in. why can't we just call a problem a problem? i'm gonna have to just stop talking a...

I kind of like the way the serrations end. I think that slight height differential between the SE and PE section will make a very effective edge for “scoring” pull cuts on flat surfaces. Kind of like a little “micro hawkbill”. Just make sure that corner is sharp and it should be very effective at t...

Easy one for me. I would prefer a Stretch XL Salt. The backlock is a proven design in rust proof folders. I have had a number of issues with compression lock Salts that never occurred with backlocks. Compression locks are also more “fiddley” when closing which is not what I’m looking for in a marine...

The yet to be Magna cut or LC200N Salt Millie

I heard that one is coming soon…they’re calling it the Stretch XL Salt.

*I mean, not really…but kind of.

I would like to have a high quality production fillet knife too, but like any knife, there are many styles and design options from which to choose. Though there is some conformity within the United States and Europe, when you start looking at various countries and cultures, styles of fillet knives c...

Fish and game. Probably 95%+ of my knife use is cleaning fish. I might spend 20 minutes a day cleaning fish, maybe a minute a day on food prep, and probably less than a minute a week on anything else.

A Craftsman screwdriver would be stronger than either.

Quoted for truth.

But there’s a problem, corrosion terrifies me.

Buy a boat….you will get over your fear quickly… you will learn treatment and prevention pretty quickly

And acceptance.

My thoughts on this have changed a bit over the last 10 years. A decade ago I had no fear over owning a folder in a non stainless tool steel. I am not obsessed with aesthetics and don’t mind a knife developing some staining as long as it continues to function properly. If I had one non stainless EDC...

20220618_014041.jpg Not a good pic, and I had to edit it to fit, but: Salt Pac Salt 2 Jumpmaster 2 All of them cut extremely well. But, nothing cuts like the Jumpmaster. At least nothing I've experienced. Yeah, I have the Jumpmaster 1 and can agree that NOTHING cuts like that knife. It’s a monster!

Hey Marius, I have a little different perspective. I will probably buy the SE as my first Stretch XL but that is because I am waiting for the Salt version to come out. That may be a couple of months out or maybe over a year, who knows? What I would probably do in YOUR shoes though is get the PE VG10...

Such an awesome knife! I’m really excited to own one…holding out for the Salt though. I’d love a SE Salt model with black handle. Hope that’s going to be an option.

I don’t own any of them right now but I’ve seen and handled them all at Blade Show. The Sun and Moon for me all the way. Enough class for dress clothes but just a beautiful and interesting knife I’d carry anytime.

….The already mentioned Caly 3.5 FRN as well as the Native Chief LW and the Stretch 2 XL SE could very well become perfect Spydies for me too. As could a fictional FRN Siren ... and actually, in the fixed blade realm, the upcoming (?) "More than Enuff". Hey Wartstein, you know, when I fir...

i could be wrong, but that kind of variation could easily just be inconsistent grinding or the fact that the military 1 may have been sharpened by its owner a few times. Also could be camera angle or perspective. I had the same initial impression on seeing the photos, but I’ve seen enough times how...

Usually when I see "Lil" in front of any knife name, I immediately lose interest. No so with the Lil Matriarch (as long as it's serrated). Same. Other than for pure self defense I believe the lil Matriarch is a much more useful design than it’s larger counterpart. in the lil matriarch thr...

Hi Matt, I put in the request....as a Salt. sal That’s awesome news! There are a couple of new Spydercos each year that are “must buys” for me. The Stretch XL Salt is in that list. The lil Matriarch Salt will be too! **Here’s to hoping it will be available in a black handled option! Salt version is...

I bought a Specialized Diverge 2 years ago when we were all locked down (like many people obviously). I put about 3500 miles on it the first year but I have slowed right down and haven’t even ridden it now in a month (also probably not an original story, haha). Funny thing is, it came with 700x38 ti...
