Overall disappointed

[Kevinim82]

As a man who has 7 Spyderco’s in a sock drawer…I have an 8th that is always in the right front pocket… Do I gain any man credits for keeping the knives in a cigar box in said drawer?

Only time I’ve almost lost a knife in the pocket was standard clip in gym shorts. Waistband carry or deep carry clip is a solution. I for one like the deep carry clips. 27 dollars for pink cerakote is so worth it. I brush up and scrape my wife’s car, and I find I am in no trouble what so ever.

Lots of feral cats and monster sized squirrels where I live… should I get the small or large throwing knives?

A first Spyderco I would recommend for a marine biologist would be a Native 5 salt LW with an MXG clip. That’s about 160-170 bucks… but it beats an assist Kershaw in salt water… I don’t see that lasting too long.

Larger throwers have +3 damage but the smaller throwers give you a +2 to dexterity so it depends on your stats

I completely understand the OP's disappointment. This one time I heard from a friend that he had lost his knife. I first recommended a Spyderco to replace it but he was hesitant about spending that much for a knife. I later gifted him a Para 3 LW and he was grateful. I found out a couple of months later that he had lost the Para 3. How could I have been such a careless b@stard? He never would have lost that knife if I hadn't given it to him. It was completely my fault that he must now deal with the huge disappointment of losing the knife and I'm sure it had nothing to do with his apparent propensity to lose knives.

The sea was angry that day, my friends.

Oh man… this is a tough choice.

The problem would be, if I equip the throwers, I will also equip beer at the same time… I feel like beer and throwers go together. Beer gives me -2 in dexterity but a +2 in luck…

… that extra luck will make sure I don’t drop one of the throwers when it is my attack turn.

Right but don't forget beer also comes with a +3 personality but also a -3 intelligence.


Oh man I could do this for days

I am not recommending any knife unless he gives me helpful information regarding the Land Sharks that keep invading my yard !

Just to be clear, I would never store a knife in my sock drawer. Why would I risk getting my knives all sticky? The proper place for tools, when not in use, is in a toolbox.



Seriously though, I spend a lot of time in the woods with a Spyderco clipped in my pocket and the only time I've had it come out was from being snagged on a seatbelt. Been carrying the same Stretch for 3 years now...hiked over 14 miles on this day and it hardly moved.



BTW, I always equip beer because I can easily afford the -3 in intellect and definitely use the +3 in personality.

-3 intelligence for beer… eh that can’t hurt me, I live in the negatives already for intelligence. Obviously I have a negative intelligence, I keep all my weapons in a sock drawer! (In all seriousness I would like to thank the OP for the byproduct of his knife comments.)

… as an old player of a 20 sided dice, the term for personality would be charisma! So Beer is a +3 charisma… last I knew in a fight with feral cats and giant squirrels charisma is worthless with them.

Anyone own the Spyderco throwing knives? Which are easier to throw with a -3 intelligence?

I had this exact problem as a teenager!

Charisma +3 a worthy trade off!

With that much charisma, it might solve my sticky sock drawer problem.

I am apologizing ahead of time for those that I have offended or grossed out.

OP managed to drive-by and insult across the board! Bravo!

• Forum members gave bad advice on the practicality of serrated edges
• Paying too much for a plastic knife
• Folder’s clip doesn’t give a secure hold
• People who buy Spyderco knives just look at them and don’t use them

[Pig Iron]

I can see the problem here, only one Spyderco. If you have twenty the loss of one is only 5%. I don’t know how many I have though. And come to think of it, I would be sad to lose any of them. Hm.

[metaphoricalsimile]

I ride a bike with a spyderco clipped to my pocket every day and have never had a problem with one of mine working it's way out of the pocket. That's a really unusual and frustrating issue to have.

That being said, I do think a lot of people on this forum have a weird obsession with over-hyping the capabilities of H1, and *especially* serrated H1, as being a super-good general purpose blade steel, when in reality it's a special-purpose steel that is only mediocre as a blade steel.

[cabfrank]

I'm with you on the first paragraph.

[Revival]

Did I read that right?…you paid $250 for a Salt 2 Serrated?

Can’t loose your knife if you keep it in the sock drawer

And the socks couldn't be to happy about that, the lion sleeping with the lambs.
