I much prefer a long wait for a production fluted Ti knife than a quick sale of a sprint run one. I will have more chance to catch this beauty. And exclusives production are way too expensive (due to shipping fees) or impossible to purchase (USA and Canada shipping only) for international customers....

Maybe Bruce Willis as Alex, Charlize Theron as the girlfriend,

You forgot the most important...the knife ! Which one ?!

Tip-up, with the pocket-clip on the side of the knife that is in my hand palm. It is not a carry preference, it is because for me the knife gives a better feel in hand with a pocket clip mounted like this. I don't like much the feel of the military with its one way mounted pocket-clip. (N.B.: I don'...

Chris Reeve if the collaboration knife will have a shape like the CRK insingo. Others: I don't know if the Spyderco Perrin PPT (Perrin, Perotti, Thiel) is a selling success but it is a great and solid design for an utility knife so I submit two French Knifemakers that also make great knives.

We have a damascus Endura coming (Titan scales) and a Super blue model in FRN. Great news, I will probably buy both if I can, despite the FRN back-spacer (FRN scales are fine). (N.B.: I was tempted by the Endura damascus sprint run but I don't like much the jigged bones scales (no offense, just a p...

Has anyone handled a custom from the designer. DagueHaubert on a french forum purchased one. It is a custom version of the Nilakka but DagueHaubert didn't comment about the blade, he only said that it is made with RWL steel that is probably RWL34 steel. I don't know if he purchased it to use it or ...

My coarse dmt can almost mirror polish an edge but still leave enough tooth to cut manilla rope with ease. I've also never gotten razor burn from shaving this way. You probably have a "tough" skin because I'm pretty sure that most people will have strong razor burns with a straight razor ...

ZDP-189 is very interesting for its superior cutting power and edge retention, it's really nice to cut paper and cardboard with (it would be a waste to use this superb steel only for this), it's nice also with stronger material like dry wood. But the blade is pretty long and when the end part (tip s...

I don't have a Paramilitary 2 yet but I will as soon as it will be available again. But it remains that the Endura 4 needs at least a few improvements to really deserve its name. Mine developped side to side blade play after only one day of use for light and medium heavy duty tasks. A very good stee...

Just send it in. That's easy to say for someone who lives within USA, but Spyderco knives are sold internationally, in my country sending a package to USA with a tracking number is really expensive. An with local taxes, Spyderco knives are 35% to 50% (and sometimes even) more expensive. So I want a...

The first things i'm doing before declaring that a knife is perfect is to really use it, at least for a few medium heavy duty tasks, and also dismantling it completly to see how it is really made. I would appreciate an Endura 5 a bit more solid, less "delicate". 1- Steel back spacer: The F...

I appreciate the Endura for food prep, essentially for its blade length but ZDP-189 "doesn't like" some vegetables (i.e. eggplants, tomatoes = steel stains pretty quickly).

A VG-10 steel blade is probably better for food prep.
