Spyderco Forums

Thanks everyone for the kind words and feedback :) Makes the time spent well worth it when people get something out of it! Awesome review! Please do more :) If you search my old posts you should be able to find a bunch of reviews I did a few years back. I posted the Native 5, Roadie, Caly 3, Calypso...

Hello all, I haven't done a review in quite some time, but I've been eagerly awaiting the release of the FRN Chaparral and now its here I thought I'd take the time to snap a few pics and share my thoughts. My two most loved and carried Spydercos are the Native 5 LW and the Dragonfly 2 LW, so an FRN ...

Just preordered mine too!

Looking very smart. With the liners I'm interested to see how it compares in weight to the Native 5 LW. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

Congratulations everyone! A great competition as usual!

Unfortunately that included the majority of my Spyderc...

I've switched my vote to OTHER after a little thought: I think a really PALE colour for a gent's knife (as the Chap is) works best...The pale colours denote a knife that isn't going to use for yard work and always looks less threatening in the 'gent's' environment. Something like a white, bone or b...

Wow, the good news keeps on coming! I hope we see a lightweight version too!

4051 for me please! I didn't want to accidentally pick anyone else's number so I went through the thread and have listed them all below. Hopefully that saves someone some time.

Ah I always look forward to this! Thanks so much for the effort!

Another yes please for the lightweight here! Ever since picking up a Native 5 LW and seeing how well it works I've hoped the Caly 3 would go the same way.

Forum Name: Uke Model: British Blades Elmax Urban LW This is a common sight on my desk - a bunch of Spydies ready for some treatment in front of my Sharpmaker and loupe. The knife in focus here resting against the Sharpmaker rods is my British Blades Elmax Urban after serving some faithful pocket du...

It's a shame that the wharncliffe Urban didn't do that well (I bought one!). The new FRN urban is my favourite slipit to date and I'd grab a wharnie version in a heartbeat. Love to see it with orange FRN too after the orange G10 of the old version :)

Well done to all the winners! And big thanks to the Spyderco team for a great contest :)

Phew...I almost missed this! Some fantastic entries again this year everyone, its been a real pleasure scrolling through the thread! http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k619/Crabbacus1/FINAL%20Image%20Forum%20Size_zpsiqatugz9.jpg Model Name: Pingo C163BK Forum Name: Uke Whenever I travel these days,...

...I am leaning towards the Sage 2 over the native because I feel the liner lock is easier to operate one handed (closing specifically), but really like the lines of the Native... I've had a few Sages and they're great knives but for me I'd pick the Native all day long. The Native feels more compac...

Wow, these forum Natives really are stunning! Beautiful photos too by the way.

With all the 'gripping behind the choil' talk I just snapped a couple of quick dodgy phone pics to show how my hands fit in both positions. I use both grips often and find both really comfortable. I take a 'Medium' glove size... Behind the choil: http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k619/Crabbacus1/N...

Oops! Sorry about that mate...it must have got jumbled up when I was juggling multiple quotes!

...The problem now is that with my Enduras, Delicas and other non-choil knives my muscle memory wants to put my finger up on the blade! :eek: I hear you on this one! I ended up moving on my Southard as I just didn't trust myself...it's so inbuilt into me now to flip out a folder and automatically s...
