Spyderco Forums

My skin has held up well for the years I've spent outdoors: cycling, hiking, running, fishing, hunting, skiing, water-skiing, swimming, gardening, ranching, etc... Yet I've still had to endure 4 surgeries for basal and squamous cell carcinoma. I now wear a hat, long sleeves and sunscreen anytime I'm...

For fishing and, in fact, ordinary EDC, it's hard to beat 1) the Stretch 2 XL Salt and, 2) the Pacific Salt 2. They come in both plain and serrated edge. The Stretch 2 XL Salt is available only in H2 steel, which is great. The Pac Salt comes in both H2 and LC200N, which is also great. Both steels ar...

The knife comes with a "heavy" spring. Replacement medium and light springs are available. I can operate the lock okay with the original spring, but I prefer the "medium." For me, the knife becomes too easy to open and close with the light spring. Or, as Rusty said, you can chop ...

I have both a PE and an SE Z-Cut. I use the PE at the table only, and seldom at that. I use the SE much more often, but also as a "steak knife," not for culinary purposes. It will definitely do a number on tomatoes, but so will pettys, santokus, Kiwis, etc. I tend to use at least a 6-in st...

I plan to do this with both a pair of Pac Salt 2s and a pair of PM2 Salts. I’ve also put Ti scales on an LC200N UKPK.

It’s a thing. Do it. Do it now!

REC Avocado is my favorite, but I don't own one.

I agree 100% with pretty much everything you said. I'd prefer a Salt, but anything would be an automatic buy.

Ultem.

Sure seems like combo edges were more popular 25 years ago. I used to purposely seek out combo edges, but eventually decided I wanted them one way or the other. Evolving uses, I guess.

That said, it does seem like the Police 4 would be one of the best candidates for CE.

Surprisingly, pork rinds of the Epic, Baken-Ets and Randall's Signature Select brands fill that niche for us. My wife is a health nut, and she's the one who introduced them to our pantry. Thanks for this. I tried the pork rinds and maybe I should give them another try. I had a bad experience since ...

I have no interest in a serrated Manix 2 in any steel, but I still don't understand why there aren't any in the lineup. It seems obvious there should be at least one. Maybe they haven't wanted to introduce a new blade until the screwed CQI came out, or until the Salt release. My guess is it's just a...

Nice review, Palestrina! (It's back.)

The Urban is one I've considered several times, and never quite pulled the trigger. If it's as good as my UKPKs, it looks like you've found yourself a nice knife.

And Tristan, I'm not a fan of cheap plastic either, but I absolutely love expensive plastic.

Oh my!

Oh dang, should I get the MXG clip and keep this knife? Decisions…

Link to the MXG clip:

I'm tellin' ya, if you try that clip you might end up with a dozen of them!

I can see using the Ikuchi to fillet small fish if it's all you have and you have a way to wash the knife with fresh water soon afterward. To me it would be somewhat of a stunt, though. Sure, you could do it, but why, especially with the Catcherman still available. I've never done it so I can't spea...

The MXG shallow carry clip will almost certainly work. It does on the Police. In my hand it's the most ergonomic clip available for several Spyderco knives: the whole Stretch family, the Manix 2, the Manix 2XL, the Police, the Endura family, maybe more. It's 2nd best to another MXG Gear clip for the...

I only care about lanyard holes when they cause the pocket clip to be positioned awkwardly.

I had never considered using a fob to increase the visibility of a dark-colored knife, but I will from now on! My first will be safety green on a new Jumpmaster 2.

Double

Definitely. The S35VN Resilience is one of my go-to knives. I would love it in M4.
