Re: Your favorite color combination?

I’d I had to pick one? The DLT ladybug motif with the black hardware and coated blade is the most striking to my brain.

Teal/DLC is quite nice.

I suspect that a DLC Native Salt would also make my top list, hopefully we see one someday!

Re: Stok

Any updates on the Stok? Is anyone super excited about it after having used it for a while? I stumbled across an article interview with the designer, and I’ll admit that hearing the intent and the design philosophy behind it made me more likely to try one or both eventually. Notably he designed them...

Re: H-2 vs. H-1

I haven’t done any remotely scientific testing but I picked up an Atlantic Salt in H2 as soon as they were available to replace my H1 version at work. I’m still using the H2 and I haven’t noticed any difference, nor have I felt the need to switch back. For my purposes they seem to be interchangeable.

Re: Spyderco Groom carry suggestions

I only own one “fancy” knife, the CF S90v Siren. I’d carry that if it was me.

Congratulations!

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

It just occurred to me that a salt-series machete might be a great place for a combo edge, similar to the proportions on the Catcherman. A long plain edge for chopping and a short bit of serrations on a nice thin 12 inch LC200N machete would be really handy.

Re: Question about lanyard holes.........

Tool lanyards are often essential on job sites at elevation when there is no situation where it is okay to drop a tool. They are handy in any scenario where loss of a knife would result in a negative outcome. They aren’t there just to be annoying. Spyderco makes quite a few knives without them. Thi...

Re: Chief vs Stretch XL for fishing knife?

To start with your last question first, do I value ergonomics or steel more? I want to say yes to both, but my reality has usually been that I prioritize steel over ergonomics if I have to pick one over the other. Sal’s comment (somewhere) about the handle being there to support the blade, which is ...

I love this so much. 😁

I think my boat keys and a manbug salt might each get a champagne cork float.

Re: Boating and lanyards

I like a pair of board shorts with a zippered pocket. The knife stays secure but I don’t have to mess with a long lanyard or worry about it snagging on anything. One thing that makes this easier in terms of accessing the knife is putting a short, stiff-ish lanyard on it, about twice the length of th...

Re: Your favorite exclusives

DLT 20cv “ladybug-patterned” Zome, with the coated blade. I only have the Endela but it’s my favorite exclusive from an aesthetic standpoint.

Well this has been interesting reading. As someone who missed the initial release I’m excited that there will be another batch coming and I hope I’m able to pick one up! I’m excited to play with the ceramic - for the cost of a couple of fancy dinners out I can have a new rustproof material to experi...

Salt 2 PE, hands down.

My first Delica was the m390 BBS exclusive, and it’s still my second favorite.

Re: thoughts on a Spyderco Machete

I would love a little thin salty 12” machete in LC200n. I’ve used the Tramontina 12” and slightly larger (14”?) bolo machete that they make quite a bit. They’re wonderful tools but yep, they do rust. Now that I can afford it I’d love a rustproof small machete to go with my lifetime supply of Aqua Sa...

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

I have to admit that I would love a 12 inch salt-series machete, but maybe separate from the Whale Rescue Blade. I’d buy both. 🙂

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

That's very cool! Thanks for sharing your expertise. I've worked support for whale researchers but I've never been involved in a rescue like that.
