Re: What Knife would benefit from a button release.
I agree. For me it would be an improvement to most compression locks.
I would also be happy to see button/plunge locks used more often. I have a couple, one manual and one auto, and I like them.

Re: Blade Centering.
I carry in my back pocket and my knives are often off center. Depends on how rigid they are. Some definitely flex. With some hand strength I can usually just flex it the other way and center them.

Re: I prefer the Native Chief Over the Millie.
I like the Chief better in pocket and the Military better in hand.
I haven’t carried either that much since I got the StretchXL.

Re: Weird blade grind/plunge line observation
They are ground on a giant abrasive wheel. The machine holds multiple blades and grinds them all at once. I saw it in a YouTube video at one point.

Re: Spyderco filet knife?
I have been asking for one for years. Unfortunately if we see a Phil Wilson fillet knife it will likely be a Chinese made knife with 8cr13 like the Bow River.
I like fillet knives flexible so a super steel may not be the best choice. CPM154 or similar might be a good option.

Re: Please Sal, bring back the Sage2 !
I like the 3 and 4.
Surprised we haven’t seen a sprint of the 4 yet.

Re: NKD: Stretch 2 XL Cruwear
Not a sprint, right? Correct , but if like past more refined Stretch models , I would not count on a long life span . MG2 And why would that be? Older refined Stretch models had a life span of around three years in CF and G10 . MG2 I would speculate that those were both single 1200 piece runs that ...

Re: NKD: Stretch 2 XL Cruwear
Some regular production knives never get a second run and end up being just as limited as a sprint. Considering the price, some qc issues and the fact that the Stretch has never been a hot seller this has a chance of being one run and done.

Re: Para 3 Lovefest, Where Did It Go?
I generally like big knives so I’m the wrong one to ask. That said, I ergonomically prefer the Native. I have quite a few Natives and only one Para3. I kept that Para3 because I’m a knife geek and want to have it represented in my giant pile of knives. I think the Para3 came out of the gate hot beca...

Re: "hard use"
Pocket knives are multi tools in reality. They aren’t designed for a specific purpose usually and are expected to do anything you might need a knife for. That means different things to different people depending on what their job or hobbies are. I consider hard use to be something that can cause dam...

Re: Why is the PM2 more popular when the Manix 2 is objectively better?
I find the Manix2 to be a chunky pocket hog with mediocre ergos and superfluous jimping. I think the Para2 is over hyped but I definitely prefer it over the Manix2.
Why is the Para2 more popular? The internet says so. Hype, hype and more hype.

Re: Forum Knife???
I think it is great that Spyderco is picking a model that doesn’t exclude anybody.
I don’t have to deal with any restrictions and small slip joints aren’t really my thing. I’m gonna sit this one out.
