Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

i'm confused why people are worried about this knife breaking. it's a small blade and it's only 1mm thick. this knife clearly isn't made for applying any kind of lateral force. it's made for slicing and opening your mail, not for building a cabin in the woods. I can certainly understand where the c...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

The photo in the product guide is not accurate. Refer to this video, posted here by Sovereign.

These are production pieces. This is how they will all look.

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

That photo in the catalog is a prototype. It genuinely looks like they took one of the black scales and painted the grooves yellow to show off the concept. Notice how the edges are still black, not layered. As a result of manufacturing, the black and yellow scales will be smooth. Only the all black ...

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

This isn’t in response to anyone in particular just in general but I think some people are missing the point of a commemorative anniversary knife like this. It’s not meant to be a heavy user - they make thousands of those knives every year. It’s not supposed to be more of the same with a tiny littl...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

Excited to see a new design! Just based on initial impressions, I am a big fan of the the “Charisma”design! That blade stock bakes it look like an absolute lightsaber and it’s super lightweight too. Could be a really awesome candidate for hiking and backpacking. It’s also really fun to see this thre...

Re: Lil’ Native CPM-15V – Spyderco Design Production Sample 2024

The last of the CPM-15V Spyderco Production Samples I can share is the wonderful Lil’ Native. Personally, prefer the lockback version, but I realize market majority prefers the compression lock version. It’s all good, and I can still switch the clip on this lil’ big knife for left-handed carry 😉. h...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

Any idea why the asterisk on 15V, anyone. Thanks, Wouter, for putting Spring in motion again. Just a guess but those blades probably aren’t actually 15V. Since they’re still prototypes, they probably used a steel like S30V and just marked them with “15V*” to denote the steel that is intended for pr...

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

Thanks for sharing, Wouter! The reports and photos from the Amsterdam meet are always much appreciated.

A regular production 15V Microjimbo sounds badass! Sign me up for one.

Now I’m just hoping a Lil Native gets the 15v treatment as well! :party-face

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

I believe it was a combination of a few conveniently timed events that first lead to the drastic increase in overall demand for this knife. As the industry was growing, Nick Shabaz was a very popular video creator. This knife, as great as it is, wasn’t such a popular seller. Nick Shabaz eventually e...

Re: Spyderco 50th Anniversary Knife?

40th Anniversary Spyderco Native 5 40th Anniversary Damascus C41CF40TH Limited Edition I think it did not sell well. It should be a true user. Maybe coming in a package of 2. One for using and one for the safe. Not too expensive might help. I believe a knife commemorating their 50th anniversary sho...

Re: Has Spyderco ever brought back a knife they discontinued? Not including dealer exclusives

Spyderco has regularly done this in the form of sprint runs. (Also, as OP noted, numerous dealer exclusives) As for discontinued regular production models being resurrected - it has happened but it’s rare. The Spyderco Snap-It is one example that comes to mind. There have also been a number of new i...

That’s actually when it will matter the most! :flushed I'm not bullish on AI putting creators out of business. But I do think a lot of graphic artists will find demand for them reduces, but is replaced by demand for people skilled in using AI-assisted art programs. It's just another technological a...

Have any of the Spyderco users who are complaining so vehemently been injured or had their feelings hurt by ChatGPT, or is all the panic unfounded?
You serious or just being facetious? Injured…? Had their feelings hurt…? That has to be a joke.
