Re: Idea for new knife! Lightweight Yojimbo2
An FRN-handled Yojimbo 2 would also make a great platform for a Yojimbo 2 Salt (in either LC200N or MagnaCut), as I think bi-directional FRN would maintain its "grippiness" over time much better than textured G10 (my Yojimbo 2's handle scales, while still providing enough grip, have gotte...

Re: Finally got a G-10 Manix
As someone who is not a flicker, I like the lock as is and stiff. I really don’t like free swinging closers either. Part of why I don’t like Comp lock

Re: Nutritious safe low carb snacks?
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 ...

Re: Benchmade Water Series (salt series?)
Looks like Benchmade came out with a water series using magnacut. Im sure its trying to compete with the salt series from Spyderco. Realistically this should probably be expected from a few manufacturers now that magnacut is out there. Especially Benchmade since they have also done several water kn...

Re: 52100 Native Chief?
Not trying to yuck anybody's yum, but 52100 rusts way too fast for my liking. As already mentioned, you can force a patina with ease. But I will say that it sharpens like a dream. Total agreement with this guy^^. 52100 does not “might” patina, I will patina from your skin oil touching it. It does s...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Dragonfly is the better knife. Anyone who says it’s a light cutter doesn’t have an H1 (or H2) SE Dfly. It’s not a Medford or Strider but is as robust as a 2 inch locking folder should be. The Wharncliffe isn’t beveled in top and is robust too

Re: Chaparral
I really like my Chap since I got custom (a bit thicker than the original ones) carbon fiber handles for the FRN model. But I don't understand what the 'laser beam edge' is supposed the mean. The Thickness BTE is very comparable to most other EDC-oriented Spydercos. Yes, as far as I can tell with m...

Re: Lil' Temp 3 & Short Thick Blades
I hope they bring the original lil temperance leaf back for a sprint made golden, Colorado. really one of the best knives in the company’s history. A little bit more MBC focused than the current 3rd gen.. -pointier and more distal tapered leaf -old school hardware, rounded pivot pin, one of the coo...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?
Dragonfly.
It has so many elevated features like a choil, wire clip. Legal most everywhere and the definition of Little Big Knife. I don’t care what brand someone is a Homer for, when you hold and use a Dfly you can see a place in your EDC immediately

Re: Chaparral
Hi Wrdwrght, Interesting observation. Yes, the market has spoketh, and we work for you. The Kopa, Sage and Chaparral series were all ideas of mine that I thought might have had longer term success. The Kopa series ran into problems with the maker not being confident to use all of the handle materia...

Re: Roadie: Tell Me About This Knife
It is neutered by design and unless you need a knife to meet those legalities I would go with a Manbug or a Ladybug Hawkbill

Re: Got this email about the Emerson CQC - 7, Ernie smiled, and share his philosophy.
I like Emerson’s as about an $85 knife. If that’s what they cost I would own a few. I sold all the ones I had but like the Elvia a good bit
