really do like the look of this one..
I am anticipating the drop on this knife. I hope they fix the detent on it if not o well. Hey nick are ever going to review the 5 bladed case knife.
I want one. I like big knives, even though I am not supposed to be carrying them where I live. I am not always here in the city, and when I head out of this city, I can and do carry a bigger knife. Pretty classy looking edition from Spyderco. The detent is standard Spyderco. My PM2 and Manix 2 and even my Para 3 all can be shaken out. Unless you get one of their back locks like a Delica, you can pretty much count on the detent being weak. I really would like to see them correct that, but I won’t hold my breath..look how long we have been asking for a sharpening choil, to no avail. Spyderco is going to do what Spyderco does, and I guess they feel they sell enough of them that they don’t really give a shit what we would “like” to see.
It looks like the relence
Waiting for the Smock!
Like it. Rather just be g10 and 150$
Some of your puns are so bad, haha! Great review as always 😉 <3
First time I’ve heard the shake test law.. Where is that at?? Weird law if yah ask me
Nah, i just dont dig the look. It looks ugly to me. Not for me
Overall shape resembles the kizer vanguard dukes.
This knife is the Bigfoot of Spyderco. Everyone has heard of it yet nobody can find it. Yes. I’m impatient.
This one interests me, appreciate the review. I’m hanging out for the Kappara, please get one of those on the channel asap, you’ll love it Nick, I’ve handled a few of Alistair Phillips customs & it is a truly awesome design. Thanks
Does anybody know when it comes out? I have been on the pre-order with Blade HQ for quite a while now.
I smell flipper tab delete mod!
Yes….Thaichung needs some detent coaching from the boys in Golden. The Sage 5 also suffers from the same issue and has plenty of ‘detent slop’ to boot.
That ping it makes when it closes gives me the same feels a Zippo lighter’s opening sound. I love it.
Come on Nick weak detent is 100% ugly. This is nothing new with spyderco that they have yet to address. It’s not clear they are working on it. Gotta call a spade a spade. Spyderco “CQI” ? Lol
A very unobtrusive pecker. But has serious Norseman bounce. Really weak detent is unacceptable. Thanks for reviewing it Nick.
This is $175 for 3.8 inches of s30v, and the Brouwer is the same price but over an inch less s30v steel… brouwer should be $50 cheaper
How does the amalgum compare to the PM2? Might get this over a PM2
Nice review and all but I’am surprise by your take on this one Nick, it is after all a freaking huge knife, you once compared the PM2 to a montain 😉
So you’re telling me someone at Spyderco needs to be sent to detention?
I luh uh uh uh uhved the video
If Hinderer ever collaborated with Spyderco, I’d expect the results to look a lot like this. I’m not a fan of a lot of Spyderco knives, but I definitely want to check this out and see if the ergos are better than their other offerings.
If I showed a folding knife that size to my fully sarcastic and skeptical daughter, she’d say, “Dad, that is so ULTRA.”
That’s really nice, defenitly getting one.
It would be nice to see a little smaller blade and maybe m390. I would be all over that. Still I think it’s a nice piece from Spyderco
Blade shape reminds me of a hinderer you just reviewed. With a different grind.
Mini amalgam?
I assume you are not including the compression lock knives out of Golden? Meaning the PM2 and PM3?
Hey Nick! I was curious if you were planning to look at the Spyderco Tropen at some point? I know it isn’t your normal style, but with all the controversy regarding the exposed edge and stuff, I would love to hear your thoughts on the knife as a whole.
I’m so happy to get a good look at this great blade. Want this thing soo bad. Usually can only afford 1 maybe 2 knives a year so this is in the running!
Dang… You flipped this knife like 100 times in this video… It must be awesome!!
