        Funny you mention that, because I did exactly that three years ago giving my wife a Spyderco Chaparral as it seemed like a great knife for its size and weight.
        Since then it's been one of her favorite gifts I've given her. It fits her hand and pocket perfectly (the latter being especially important as women's clothes pockets are jokes). She says it comes in handy often and religiously carries it as her EDC so much so that I have to remind her not to bring it whenever we go somewhere I know they'll have metal detectors.
        I don't simp for brands, but I can vouch that it's unironically a great knaifu for the waifu.

          I bought myself a chaparral on whim.

          Went into the store for a newer benchmade, saw the chaparral and thought "I've got 4 spydercos already, let's try this one out".

          Love it for little tasks. Got a good belly on it as well for food prep.

          Different knives have different uses and sometimes the chaparral makes its way into my pocket.

      you can see for yourself it's a good knife. If you want to complain about overpriced production folders look at microtech or emerson. plus the "look" of spyderco knives are an excellent pleb filter for tacticool morons

                way to prove my point for me, dipshit.
                I cut holes in drywall with a #1 screwdriver.
                I could use a cheap boxcutter to cut drywall lmfao.
                Same for shingles.
                I would just pull out the fricking super cheap buy-a-pack-of 50 for 20 bucks stanley hook blades and use a box cutter for that.

                This is fricking hilarious, you are actually using some overpriced bullshit that is better cut with a fricking BOXKNIFE.

                There is barely any difference.

                Meanwhile people who ACTUALLY cut a lot of drywall don't use knives.
                They use saws, manual and in particular motorized, that go through it like butter.

                Its only really better if that position of closing suits your habits better, or you are the kind of tard that can't be trusted with a knife.

                Was it HARD for YOU to cut so you thought it was special? Is that it, LARPer?
                The razorblades in a box cutter are thin enough they remove most resistance from compressing and separating the material. All that is left is the hardness of the material itself.
                You put a hook blade on for tile and rip through it like a man that works for a living instead of LARPing and, well...
                The rest should be obvious.
                And its more than mild steel ducting and copper stranded lol.
                I have had to muscle through sheet metal, aluminum, and tin in the past.
                Meanwhile I whittle as a hobby with the same knife I use for everything else, from random fricking sticks I pick up outside.

                Tin snips are for thin metal, exactly like steel ducting. You're not cutting fricking 1/8" thick steel or aluminum with tin snips, let alone a shitty pocketknife.
                >You only use your knife on boxcutter tier shit, and apparently food

                And after all this, you still don't have any reason that the shape is moronic beyond "w-well muh cost-cutting". What's moronic about having a blade with belly and a full flat grind?

      This. PM2 is like the perfect "big" folder knife for your pocket, that works well with gloves and has a "trick" open/close mechanism which gives it cool points and adds to the fun/fidget factor. But this thing performs. It's the S110V steel which is by far the most scary sharp and durable steel I've seen from a production knife, and I've got over 100.

        Hmm, "Compression Lock"
        Is it stronger than a back lock? My problem with liner lock is that if you "gorilla grip" the knife you can have it unlock on you.

    It's the quintessential example of "you have to try it in person to understand"

    As for your points:

    1- Yes, it does look moronic. Easily the ugliest mainstream (popular) Spyderco

    2- Yes, current Spyderco prices are batshit insane (and look at b***hmade lol, even worse)

    The only good deal in terms of commercial folder is the k390 line by Spyderco, any design you like. The rest is very overpriced and it gets yo the point where you can pretty much buy a custom knife for the money.

    I too think the military and paramilitary line looks like dogshit and I never loved the Para 2.... However I admit after 11 Spydercos I tried the Para 3 (which is even more moronic looking) and it's now my daily edc for work. Its amazing.

    Slicey enough to cut very well, thick enough to not fear breaking it (unlike the Delica, for example), very ergonomic, weights nothing, moronic looking so it's not intimidating and cops won't care, generic enough to not attract much attention and mainstream enough to not fear using the heck out of it.

    Btw, a pro tip from a spyderautist:

    M8 Spydercos aren't that expensive. I bought mine in high school over a decade ago, have used it every day including in the field daily during my summer work doing soil sampling and its never had a problem. They're not even that expensive considering chinkshit knives can cost in excess of $50 now. So you're looking at maybe 2 to 3x the price and get something that can last a decade minimum and still gets free repairs and a lifetime warranty from tthem. Your post doesn't just reek of poor, it reeks of abject poverty.

          Ok so I’ve been using it for outings and edc for 7months now approx, it’s basically indestructible, there’s a guy doing a review on it on yt that uses it to stab bricks and do pull ups and shut and it doesn’t break, it doesn’t hold the edge very much so you’ll have to sharpen it at a medium frequency, as for edc/cc it’s a pain in the dick because it’s too big and the holster isn’t made for that so it doesn’t have a clip, so you either have huge pockets or you just shove it in your pants belt line like I did but it’s uncomfortable, it digs into you and it moves so you have to adjust it frequently, which is why I bought the cryo, but for outings it is extremely good, the price is decent I paid the coyote serrated one 80 euros but I’ve seen it’s increased now, there’s straight edge too, the serrated one is useful for some uses but it needs a specific tool to sharpen

            i figured out a way to have it hang off my belt and hide in my pocket, though the handle is still sticking out a bit. but yeah it's just not really designed to be carried around the city ultimtaely. honestly concealing a huge fixed blade is mostly a noguns/felon/weeb cope, there's no reason to do it unless you legitimately live in a shithole. as an outdoors general purpose knife though the strongarm is great.

    I cut a frickload of boxes and I actually happen to have this Spyderco. S110V and that blade geometry are an amazing combination. The thing does not go dull. It feels amazing in the hand. And I can use it for other knife things if I am so inclined. Is there some kind of calculation one could make about buying replacement utility blades, time spent replacing the blade, vs. sharpening a knife, blah blah, yeah probably but I'm not poor so I don't give a frick. It's just a nice convenient well-made all-purpose tool.

    We could all drive a Corolla or a Prius etc. or we could drive a car we like. It's kind of like that. People in knife threads insisting non-Prius drivers are homosexuals are bascally the biggest homosexuals on the planet. Keep your cope to yourself, nobody cares.

      Why would someone admit defeat like that?

      because the video is moronic.
      No one gives a frick about the knives weighing several grams lighter or heavier. Its normal.
      No one gives a frick about a factory edge going through paper. Its normal for a new knife.
      The ease of sharpening means something but its normal for tougher blades to require a different sort of maintenance.
      Meanwhile I don't see anywhere in the video where that guy goes over what steel is in those knives (because it does vary, most offer several types of steel) nor does he ever do anything to test the actual ergonomics of handling the blade in various tasks.
      The video is just fricking stupid.

      >you are a moronic incompetent tradie.
      I'm actually not a tradie at all.
      >the actual professionals use powertools for that size of a cut.
      See above. I don't own professional drywall cutting tools because cutting drywall isn't my profession.

      Interesting, if you aren't doing that shit for a living then how often do you actually frick around like a moron with drywall and tiles?
      Or is it that you got to do some work on your house and FINALLY got to pretend you had a good use for your mall ninja shit?
      I use my knife circumstantially but regularly on wood, plastic, drywall, tile, and even soft steel as part of my job and hobbies.

          lock strength is generally determined by the type of lock.
          lockback, framelock, etc.
          tip durability is based more on blade shape and steel type, not the fricking brand inherently.
          rust resistance is again, based on the steel type, not the brand inherently.
          I want the fricking steel used, mongoloid.
          And spyder did SHIT in tip durability and mid in edge retention for ironwood, and then SHIT in edge retention after hedgeapple.

                What's the locking mechanism on these?

                Magnets?
                [google]
                Hmm, "Compression Lock"
                Is it stronger than a back lock? My problem with liner lock is that if you "gorilla grip" the knife you can have it unlock on you.

                watch a video on compression locks. the best locking mechanism there is. i literally cant go to any other knife but fixed.

                a lockback works just fine so long as you dont unga the wrong way. it wiggles and feels cheep but it will work fine.
                Compression locks are just a a fancy and upgraded liner lock.
                On a frame lock half of the entire handle is holding the blade in place.
                Its not that special, just a little extra from spyderco for fans to rave over.

                You could go with a frame lock instead and on a higher end knife it will still feel solid.
                The only real advantage is that if you are a VERY stupid and clumsy moron with the coordination of a toddler and no control over your blade, you can close a frame lock on your thumb.
                Its only really better if that position of closing suits your habits better, or you are the kind of tard that can't be trusted with a knife.

        Usually just like the old man in the video tells it. Sometimes I skip the flats because I don't feel like I have good technique with them.
        I also bought the ultrafine and diamond stones. Not really impressed as I feel I should be with the diamonds.
        Lately I've been experimenting with the 30° slots on some Moras. They've been getting stupid sharp just getting through the regular fine stone edges.

          agreed, getting the curved edge of the blade lined up with the flat side of the stone feels like a nightmare

            I also like a technique where you work one side over and over (generally with an in and out, up and down motion instead of single repeated downstrokes), build up a burr, then smooth it out. Seems to work better on the tougher steels but that's anecdotal.

          • 1 year ago

            Also been trying out starting from the bottom on the flats. Easier to verify it's flat against the stone and vertical.
            >curved edge of the blade
            Sucks evertiem. I say stop before the curve, then do that portion separately in it's own motion.

    you have to know the knife market and why they charge that much.
    you pay 50 bucks or less for a knife, at this point your just paying for the steel itself.
    there is nothing fancy with the knife, there is no bells and whistles. there are no carbon fiber handles or upgraded internals.
    for 100 bucks you are paying for the knife steel and some premium hardware or features.
    why spyderco charges that much is that the steel itself is costly for machining.
    where you get better steels, they are harder to process and thus the cost production goes up.
    matter of fact, spyderco is actually very competitive in getting your dollars. because they will often match competitors' costs or in many cases better than competitive companies.
    but i personally would buy a spyderco for the ergonomics and the spydie hole.
    i have never owned a knife that gave me the confidence just by holding it, that i could successfully defend myself if i needed to.

    Any of you guys know a good mini blade pocket knife? I just need a glorified boxcutter but one that isnt as large. I originally used a Kershaw Kapsule for a bit but eventually the mechanism got gummed up and it fell apart. I really did like the short, fat blade on it though so something similar to that would be nice. So far I was looking at a Kizer Sheepdog Mini or a Boker Plus Subcom but I wonder if there are other/better options.

        Toughness of the blade isnt too much of an issue but it being able to keep its edge would be nice. Im more concerned about the toughness of the mechanism since the Kapsule got gummed up from all of the tape glue and thats what killed that and the mini Cobratec I used to use before that. Ill definitely look into the sheepdog further, thanks.

          civivi baby banter is a nice short-fat knife. kershaw shuffle is a similar knife as well that packs some extra tools. in general though you should wipe glue off with alcohol or oil every so often. if you aren't willing to do that, you might as well get something small with a replaceable blade like a gerber EAB

    I used to think Spydercos were ugly as frick while I bought a few pre-owned b***hmades and mostly bought Italian pocketknives, then one day I looked at a PM2 and thought "I should really try one of those, they're kinda neat looking in an ugly way." You get one in your hands and you get it, they're very comfortable, the lock and action makes a lot of sense and the biggest thing is the moronic look of the blade means there's room for the blade to get very thin behind the edge, so it's a very very slicey geometry. They're not short of downsides - compression locks aren't the simplest of things to smoothly open left-handed, and like Benchmade, their QC standard for edge grind is a bit less than ideal, but overall they're a very well thought out knife. You don't have to like it anon, but they're some of the reasons lots of people do.
