One of these has special meaning for Spyderco as a company and the other has special meaning to me personally. Spyderco Catcherman Sprint Run in boxing green Spyderco Pheonix Sprint Run in red G10
I have their auto (I can’t remember the name to save my life… it’s the rescue auto but has the pointed blade instead of the seatbelt safe shaped blade.) that is in LC 200N. Been great, especially with it being an auto AND a compression lock. But man I love watching your videos. You haven’t changed a bit, in the best way. Reminds me when I made shitty videos and we’d comment back and forth with the old channel names haha. I’m just glad I have a LOT better knives than I did back in the day. But some of those I do still have.
I use to have one of the old style clips. Unfortunately it was stolen about 20 years ago 😢. Don’t remember the particular name of the knife I just remember it was a fully serrated blade with the solid clip.
I wonder if the price drop has to do with Spyderco’s overall size as a company and their ability to get materials cheaper buying larger volumes. They can probably also produce knives like this more efficiently having more machines, experience etc.
Grabbed a catcherman as soon as they became available. I was told they never planned on making these again but they received a batch of lc200n that was too thin for anything else so they decided to make a batch. Never to be made again. Until another batch is messed up I guess!
Oddest Spyderco knives I've seen to date! Never been a fan of the brand but I'm noticing that they have some of the sharpest blades out of the box! I'm thinking about buying one myself and not sure if the Shaman or the Manix 2 will fit my needs?
Both are excellent for EDC. Really just depends on what you prefer. Shaman is bigger than the Manix 2. Manix 2 great ball lock cage. The Bodacious is awesome too. Better cutting edge than the Shaman and they got rid of the gigantic finger choil.
I did not know that Spyderco was the pioneer on knife pocket clips and that's crazy to me as a Spyderco fan! So thank you for that but in terms of the second knife even at a discounted price at $225 for vg10? no thanks when you can get a Manix 2 with the same lock if not improved for $230 at the most with Maxamet..pretty hard pass but a cool history piece I suppose.
Maaaaaan, thanks for sharing, i love seeing Spydie content 😁 gotta love the clip-it!

Kool knives. Think I’ll pick them both up.
😁
I like the FRN models, a model I like that doesn't get as much respect is the Rock Jumper. I wish they'd put it out in G10 and S30v.
Ooh the Catcherman is like something I've been wanting to put in my fishing gear. 🎣 Both are cool
Damn it, that Phoenix is 🔥...👊
👊
Yeah, and $315! ☹️
@@elde667 it has great craftsmanship and materials.
You get what you pay for..
@@elde667 That's MSRP. I got mine on sale for 225.

Love the catcherman. I picked up a couple of the USN version earlier this year when purchasing part of a spyderco collection.

could be! I was also wondering of the exchange rate with us and Japan might have improved in our favor.
Pocket clip on the filet knife, reminds me of some of the older Cold Steel knives pocket clips
The Poliwog, Lava, and Cricket were my Millie companions back in the dizzay love those knives.
Polliwog is a personal favorite
Pretty cool

Lc200n is awesome steel
Price is probably cuz the titanium & ball lock was rare back then. So you were paying for something one of a kind rather then cost of material? 🤷♀️
Could be.
Bring back the Dodo
It's extict like it should be! Just kidding
Ive never seen the i never seen the Phoenix 😎 its cool but vg10 steel for almaot 300 bucks i prefer my manix 2s.
National knives does it right
They sure do!
I kind of like spydercos because they’re ugly I think it’s a pretty cool knife that could lose the holes
Spydercos and Glocks hold a special ugly duckling place in my heart
Handsome and pretty.. nah, but friggin cool.
😁
