Re: Upping the price.

Prices are inflated for everything. It's not just a Spyderco thing I'm fortunate to have a nice collection and most of the knives I have I was able to get below the normal price. Some I've purchased at normal price. It was my choice. So I can't complain. Those who are complaining, how many of these ...

Re: RIP - Toby Keith

Yeah I heard first thing this morning. I'm big music fan, including Toby Keith and country music. Last I heard I thought he was doing better but probably just a late rally.

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

I still don't see what the thrill is with the SB. I wasn't interested back when the original one was disco'd and reasonably priced. Definitely not interested in one at $450

I also found these disassembly photos of the nested liners version, where the stop pin is in a different location on the blade:

I am wonder Whether the motivation was the very thin stock and thus the spring / backlock might be showing too much flex without the stop pin.
Sage 4 has the internal stop pin

Yeah. I will likely buy one to try the steel but I find burnt orange particularly awful as well.
I don't necessarily think it's awful but I don't particularly like it and I already have a half dozen other knives with it

i'm going to have to make it to one of these shows someday.

Re: gray G-10 CPM-Cruwear... delica?

I thought getting G10 on Seki knives was pretty expensive, and why a few of the models with G10 had been discontinued? That was the issue with the SNK Exclusive Delica. It was a really slow seller for them because it was so expensive. I'm happy I have it but probably wouldn't do the Grey G10 Cruwea...

Re: Can We Get Better Clip Screws?

I have a pile of Spyderco knives and I don't think I've ever had an issue with a clip screw. I might've had one with a funky torx head on a Seki knife but no issue removing it with a Wiha bit. I also don't have any issues with the type of screw. They work fine with the clips provided. If you have an...

Re: Looking for thoughts on Caly 3.5 vs. GB2

- i really don’t care for the Taichung carbon fiber laminate on top of g10. I'm a little the other way on this. I don't care for the Japan CF of my Caly 3.5 because of the smooth gloss finish. It may take me a little while to warm up to that. My Taichung CF/G10 Chaparral, Sliverax, and Watu have a ...

GB2 is one of the most neutral knives Spyderco makes IMO, which leads to a pretty universal appeal for anyone that likes a knife that size. The Caly 3.5 is definitely "more Spyderco" unique, if that makes sense.
Well said! Makes perfect sense to me
