Thread: Spyderco fanboy thread

  1. #641
    Another vote for the GB2. That's the most recent Spyderco I picked up.
    Perhaps take a look a the sheepsfoot LC200 Caribbean for something different. I really like mine. Another option is the Amalgam. Or if you want to big the Subvert is cool.

    Rob, what pants are those? I like the Sap pocket and I could probably get by with them at work. Also what clip is that? Thanks.

    I'm solidly between the GB2 and the spydiechef

    I like cooking with my folders but the gb2 looks simply awesome. There's some pics of acid washed ones I found online and it would be fun to go that direction.

    Not pants, but shorts. Columbia.

    Apparently Spyderco's H1 steel is going away because the supplier is no more. They are transitioning to "H2" steel. I'm a big fan of H1 and have ordered a couple of Salts just in case H2 isn't as good or they change the scale color, as they did with the LC200N Seki models.
    I have a Native Salt and often carry it. I like the steel, didn't care for the knife originally but now am fine with it. I hope they do an Endela Salt in yellow soon. If they do I'll likely order two in both SE and PE and be done spending money on knives for a long time.

    I'm on the fence about ordering another Pacific Salt before H1 goes away. The Endela is a better size for me, but I spent a lot of years carrying a Pacific Salt or Endura and have many good experiences with them.

    I have heard for years what wonderful tools Benchmade Mini Griptilians are. I have never seen one with a blade I’d like, due to the shape, grind, and stud used, until this one came along.

    It’s too darn small: I can’t safely close it one handed, and actually using it puts my index finger in danger. Sigh. So I’ll give it away or sell it.

    On the other hand, I was reading this thread the other day and looked up the Stretch. It landed at my place today. Almost identical blade shape, better grind, and I can actually use it. Pretty excited!

    My daughter thinks the cool lock and handle size of the mini grip are just right, so it’s got a pocket to live in.

    I was so disappointed with my KC exclusive Shaman that I returned it. The actual blade and scales looked really good- I was expecting the burlap micarta to look rough but they looked fantastic.

    The problems were fit and the action. The blade on this knife that cost me >$260 after tax was not centered, the knife was not flickable, and it had severe lock stick. The action felt similar to my back lock original Native that has no liners. I understand that some people argue blade centering does not matter and maybe this is true in terms of function, but for the price it is aesthetically unacceptable and I do suspect it negatively affects the action. If <$100 Kizer vanguard budget series knives can have great actions as well as fit and finish, why can't these?

    finally decided to bite down on the serrated SALT ARK I've had in my amazon cart for ages, only to find that they discontinued the serrated?
