Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native

For a tiny three-finger knife, the Dragonfly ergonomics line up a lot better for my hand. So it does end up being my most-carried knife, often as a secondary in a shirt or jacket pocket, etc.. What I'd really like to see is improvements on the Dragonfly LW. The big one is just offering it (especial...

Re: Native 5 Salt Yellow FRN MagnaCut HRC?

JIC it is of interest, I found a HRC test, it comes out at 61.7.
Does it mean the HT is geared a tiny bit towards toughness rather than edge retention?

Am I remembering correctly that those handles were 3D printed? How are they working so far?

They are great. Plenty strong with perfect tolerances & smooth as butter action. Carbon fiber reinforced PLA. There is a chance they will be made for the Chief LW also.

CruCarta Manix2 would look so good with an original clear ball cage.
Yes! Ti could also do the trick.

Will there be a Native Crucarta, or a Native with steel liners is never coming back?

Re: Native Chief Titanium Scales

I asked Brody Bolanos from HiPolyDesigns, he might start offering Chief scales in the future (3d printed, not Ti!). He is currently working on the UKPK. Might be interesting for those who don't have FB.

Re: Is Spyderco missing out on the fixed blade market?

As mentioned, I, like possibly many others, prefer traditional styles and materials in fixed blades. Burls, bone, leather sheaths and I even rescale my folders with natural materials. But a fixed Salt knife with a Spyderedge is a great offering and I would especially like a rerun of the Whale Rescue...
