I got several K390 Spyderco models, almost all of those except the Police because it has more than 11 centimeters of blade and thus it's illegal in my country and the Dragonfly because it is too short to perform common tasks as cutting cheese or bread (type of baguettes over here) for the lunch and such. I have instead in my keyring as kind of backup a Ladybug in K390. In some places to release a knife is seen as alarming but I always have my inconspicuous Ladybug and I use it quite often.

Excellent analysis and summary of what all these blades have to offer. Just my milage...the Endela seems to be the Goldilocks of EDC knives from spyderco...especially in k390. 1. Not as "Murdery" as the big knives... (and I bet it could do all of the tasks of the bigger models). 2. Not so tiny that you 'run out of blade' on a job...or lose it! 3. Lightweight to carry all day and forget you have it.

Agreed, man…I *love* the Endela. Mine just so happened to be perfectly centered and tight from the factory, too…which is always a bonus

Well-done video. The top-down view really helps to size-up the knives. I am sure the Spyderco collectors know all the minute differences between the models, but for those who don't have very many Spyderco knives, it's nice to see them side by side. It would have been nice to see them all opened up to compare the blade shapes and blade sizes, but that's a nitpick. I appreciate your pacing, too. The speed at which of some of the knife reviewers talk and the way they keep moving the knives around, can make it difficult to absorb the info they are trying to convey.

I've always had a soft spot for the Delica personally. A classic spyderco lockback

Just ordered my second spyderco in a one day sale. First was ladybug haha. The endura sale price was sadly just outside my budget. So I ordered a dragonfly. Two days later I received a tax rebate cheque in the mail. So close to getting a green endura.. hopefully I’ll still appreciate the dragonfly. Thanks for the video

I can't see how you think the stretch 2 is reminiscent of the manix? It's literally a pm2 frn lock-back.

Have the endela ,endura,stretch 2 and a police 4 lw which is a great slicer. Love k390. 👍🏻

@geraldkoth654 Жыл бұрын

All of those at least have the strongest and least intrusive lock in all folding knives. It is the only lock that broke the blade before the lock failed. All the other Spy Locks broke first.

The Police 4 K390 is my favorite “yardwork” knife!

I can see why. The K390 P4 is *such* a ridiculously capable knife, man…

I love the delica and police4 for the opposites they are but the police wins out most of the time it carries great..seki Spydercos are some of the best working knives for EDC

Where do you fit the newer Leafjumper compared to these?

I feel like the Stretch (especially the straight spine Stretch like you have) is a backlock version of the PM2. I see the resemblance to the Manix 2, but lay the Stretch on top of a PM2 and they have almost a few he same silhouette. There's a little bit of Native 5 going on at the heel of the handle of the Stretch, but other than that, it's PM2. Edit: Sharp Thinking stacks the two here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmTMpqyKhbl6kMk

@manifestoutdoors5698 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, for sure…they’re nearly identical in shape, etc. My comparison with the Manix has more to do with the ergonomics. The blades are different and the manix’s choil is a little more sage/shaman-like. It’s more of an “in hand, these things operate like eachother” sort of comparison.

Looking at a stretch now, do the stretch have liners like the endura? TIA

Sorry I didn’t see this earlier, man. I neglect the living daylights out of this channel when it’s not fishing season 🤦‍♂️. I got those from Suingab. If you just google his name, he makes killer looking and feeling scales for the police, endela, stretch, shaman, a bunch of Spyderco’s models

I dont get why Spyderco Uptern has no option in better steel, I mean its a Stretch but in Delica4 size... love that knife.

@manifestoutdoors5698 11 ай бұрын

Dude…I’ve been looking at that knife for a while now. It’s interesting to hear it referred to as a delica sized stretch. I’ll have to put that on the ole list. I like keeping some 8cr around for sharpening currency and general beatery.
