  • TOP 10 FAVORITE SPYDERCO KNIVES THAT YOU CAN STILL BUY. Even though they haven't released many new models lately they are still one of my favorite brand. I love their use of so many different steels and they do a great job with the heat treatment on a large production level. We take a look at my current 10 favorites as of 2022. I would love to hear what some of your favorites are in your collection or ones that you want to pick up.

    My fav Spydercos, based on what I personally own or owned to date:
    - PM2 (haven‘t had a Para3 yet in hand)
    - Caribbean (LC200N pioneer)
    - Superleaf
    - Chinook 2
    - Delica (I loved my Sabre Grind version for the extra heft)
    - Terzuola Slipit … great and weired
    - D‘Allara (for grip and sentimental reason … my first Spyderco)
    - Yojimbo 2 (latest but most endured purchuase … great knife, great pie e of Spyderco history)
    I would love to have
    Original Police Stainless, Kapara, Starmate, Chaparral Sun Moon, PITS, Smock, Bradley 2, Canis, Kiwi 4 and should definitely lokk in some Sage model. Slyz Bowie will stay a dream. I am working on some of the available ones.

    Love your list and even seen a couple that I was unaware of due to my absence from the hobby but back and so far am totally blown away how much things have changed.I would have to start with my delica as it was the knife that started it all for me.I wouldn't have dreamed 9/10 yrs ago I'd be spending up and over 500plus on a single knife but so goes the addiction.2 my pm2,than my manix,4 my native 5 I lost but the dragonfly 6 I've yet to get one but the sage anyone and the smock looks interesting and the one you have with the blue Jean micarta and of course lil native and well we will just have to figure it out after I get the ones I have not yet added.I love your reviews and the details and obviously your commitment to the community.

    @ericthorpe5670 Před 2 lety

    As a guy with big hands, I love my bigger spyderco knives. My overall favorite being any iteration of the Shaman, Manix 2XL, and the native chief, which was a total sleeper for me. I held off buying one for so long because I didn't think I'd like it and I'm really not a fan of backlocks in general. The Chief in rex45 has been my most used knife for the last few months. Everyone should at least try it. I can't wait for the m390 sprint. Definitely scooping one up.

    Nice job. Loved SPYDERCO forever. My fave has always been the Native 3. Yeah, I know, crummy steel, one sided grind. But it's SO good in hand and very light and well balanced, looks great too. Love the Shaman and the Rubicon for the same reasons. Hate my Manix 2, cause it's uncomfortable and impossible to operate one handed.

  • @johnharmon6607
    @johnharmon6607 Před 2 lety

    The Cruwear/Micarta PM2 gets a few bad raps from some due to the edge-to-edge steel liner necessitating that the scale be thinned out at the compression lock to the point where you can flex it in that area. I for one, cannot imagine a scenario where it would affect actual usage. Any thoughts? I love my Spydercos and have many from your vid in my collection and have to say that the Sage 5 LW is probably my favorite. Thanks for the show and subscribed!

    Have a new Spyderco Lineup (in possession or had one time):
    - PM2 (have CruWear version, blade great, Micarta poor)
    - Manix 2 (have a G10 M390 version, don‘t like the aggressive metal chimping)
    - Smock (great shape, nice lock version)
    -Caribbean (still one of most underrated Spydies)
    - PITS (great Slipjoint design)
    - Terzuola Slipit
    - trusty Delica (oldie but goldie)
    - Bradley 2 (nice, perfect if there would be any lock access)
    - D‘Allara Leafshape (why did I let it go)
    - Shaman (had one of the first, have gotten way to expensive to reissue, but great ergos … just a monster Manix)
    I look out for a Native, Sage (for classics), a Stretch K390 (will he a strong challenger for the PM2), Lil Temperance K390 ( a bit pricy). Spyderco makes great knives.

      There are multiple videos I’ve seen of him saying this on CZcams but I can’t remember which off the top of my head right now. I’m fairly certain it was the same show where he said the Manix 2 LW will be coming in Magnacut soon

    The only Spyderco I own is a Sage 5 LW wearing Karbadize Fat Carbon Mars Valley scales. A lot of the designs just don't do it for me, especially the ones with an over accentuated hump to accommodate the hole (para3/pm2). Would love to try a Slycz bowie or SpydieChef though.

  • @MrDarrylR
    @MrDarrylR Před 3 měsíci

    My picks: Stretch 2 (K390), Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe (K390), SpydieChef (LC200N), Kapara (S30V), Chapparal (XHP).
    First two are working knives in Seki's best patterns and steel, SpydieChef just a well executed idea that happens to be very corrosion resistant, the Kapara the happy balance of EDC and refinement (MagnaCut version please!), Chapparal the gentleman's knife in a good steel.
    Are all of them save the Stretch 2 a bit overpriced in 2024? Perhaps. But having spent a lot of time nickel and diming on the used market, they hold their value.
    I really wish the Golden knives evolved with the industry faster away from the over built knives of a decade ago. I'm never going to use a pocket knife as a prybar. I also wish they contoured their slab scales. For a co selling high middle range production knives in 2024, and one with a reputation for ergonomics, it's hard to justify purchases where I'd want aftermarket scales, turning $170 knives into $300 ones. Yangjiang companies are now offering better ergos, Maniago always has, and once they sort their heat treat reputation, it'll be tough selling slab scaled knives.

    Sage 1 and 5 outshine the delica and the para3 any day of the week. Shame with Sage your steel choices are limited S30V, M4 or Maxamet. All are great steels. But para3 steel variety makes it easily the target for collectors who like to get everyone of the para3. Don’t know how many are there? At least 20-30 different ones so also the pm2.
