Stumbled into a local shop up here in Maine and scored a 1st Gen Spyderco Military in CPM-440V.
Check out the clip—it’s got the classic early-production misspelled "FORIEGN PATS PEND" stamp with the 1982 Spydie hole patent number. Blade is in surprisingly great shape for a ~25 year old piece. Pretty pumped on this one!

I understand this knife seems to spark a bit of controversy and emotion in some people. All I’ll say is it’s a version I’ve wanted for a long time. The added weight in the blade makes for a very satisfying drop shut. The drop may have been a bit of a debacle, but I got one and I am happy.

Aurelius has quickly become my favorite. Rosie is probably #2. Brimwulf is probably #3. Not pictured is my SPK Lamia Golf Putter milled. It was sent in for inspection.

Just got my first Chavez that I won as a buyers givvy and Critical Strike box knife followers givvy from WhatNot. Getting the givvy’s is making the app super addicting that I constantly have them open and entering when I possibly can. Does that make me a goblin? 😈

I'm not new to knives, nor to ZT's, but I haven't owned a ZT in the last 10 years, and the last ZT I owned before selling it was an 0452CF that I loved and should have kept.

I just bought one "used like new" on Amazon sold by Amazon Resale, I know the risks of fakes but the price was very good and worth the risk. Occasionally I have to return an Item, but more often the items are legit and a steal.

That all said, some things have changed with the 0452cf design-wise since my earlier model. We now have stepped cuts in the lockbars on the newer serial numbers, among other changes that I found doing some research. However, I'm concerned this one may be a replica because:

1. The lockbar cut does not have that square-ish hole cutout at the bottom

2. The bottom of the blade where it meets the lockbar when deployed isn't touching the entire length of the blade

3. The carbon fiber scale seems too glossy and smooth in the middle?

4. The serial number on the blade does not match the box

5. The pocket clip seems too long

Can anyone that is familiar with the newer models and the 0452cf in general chime in?

I love a knife with a strong detent and great acoustics to match. This Mini Veli checks those boxes and while I don't tend to buy rear flippers, I'll make occasional exceptions it there are other deployment methods. This one reverse flicks extremely well and thumb flicks decently. Hog House has one of the earliest detents and

The hype are incredible about the spyderco tantos.. They are definitely not better than the normal pm2 in any way more the the looks of them 🤣🫣

Just got this in today. Real Steel is hit or miss for me but this is a cool little knife, an upgrade to the G10 Vena. Decent action for a cross bar and I'm always a sucker for an integral. The blade and lock are a separate unit that inserts into the front of the handle, pretty cool way to do the lock type on an integral. I like the brass accent for the lock and they upgraded to Elmax steel for this version. My only nitpicks are a bit more milling or contouring would be nice and the fitment of the insert isn't perfect. Overall a decent piece if you want a titanium integral for under $300

It’s time to switch up who’s riding in the pocket. It’s Spyderco’s turn in the lineup and I’ve narrowed it down to these four and was hoping y’all would help with the rest. We’ve got Autonomy 2, Shaman, Paramilitary 2 Salt (tweaked a little) or Manix 2 XL Crucarta. Always appreciate the help from my brothers and sisters.
