[@mason3vze740]

Absolutely love the harpy

[@zachkrein883]

If I had to chose 3 spydercos out of my collection for the rest of my life, it would be the PM2 and the Dragonfly... that’s it... that’s all I have...

[@BirdShotIV]

two good ones anyway. Zach, did you notice I never did buy that Southard from Blade '17?

[@zachkrein883]

BirdShot IV can’t say I did...

[@BirdShotIV]

I thought it was you who we were talking to while we were outside of Spyderco last year. I kept asking everyone including you (some kid I had never met) if I should buy the Spyderco Southard :D

[@zachkrein883]

BirdShot IV i did talk to you guys right at the spyderco booth and right by nick lol, but I can’t remember you asking me about it

[@hunteroverstreet2482]

You will get more soon

[@saucyboi6558]

If not for moderate self control, this collection is what my savings account would look like

[@tmutant]

Yeah.

[@billcall9063]

I'm no Spyderco fan, but I'm quite happy you guys are willing to share your collection with us and that you're not nearly as ruthless as Nick is with his collection. Oh yeah, I'd keep the 3 Slysz ones if I was gonna keep any!

[@toddboone333]

Great video. In 2022, the Smock finds its way in my pocket more than any other.

[@Joekoch-gp8zq]

I have a spyderco tenacious lightweight and it’s my favorite knife of my whole collection.

[@ohioknifelover]

I love the lock back Manix lol I do agree that the lock back is not the easiest for one hand operation

[@barkingspider2007]

Question: In the video you mention “break in” period for knives, 30% of the new knives that I get are hard to flip out of the box. Brands include: Bestech, CRKT, Kizer, Tangram, Kershaw, Steel Will, TWOSUN. What do you recommend, send them back or pull them apart, clean, lube, work the action? I have the tools and the lube to do it. Are knives like a baseball glove? Stiff and useless the day you get them then over time they flex and give and work as designed? The best flipper knife out of the box has been Ruike Hussar P121. (flawless out of the box every time) THE BREAK IN PROCESS would make a great video. Thank you for the videos you post : )

[@BirdShotIV]

breaking in a knife is typically just simply flipping it over and over, most will smoothen out with use.

[@barkingspider2007]

UPDATE: Yes Virginia, most knives, particularly flippers have a break in period. In the case of titanium frame lock types, I was squeezing the lock bar. (not recommended) I have XXL hands and the relatively small size of most knives is a problem for me. The other big observation was that I have no problem with liner lock flippers? (points to squeezing the lock bar on frame locks) I still think some folks would like to see a video on break in period. I found good articles online and in the blade forums. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THE VIDEOS : )

[@thealize808]

Just my daily ritual. Watching birdshot IV

[@bradleffert9016]

I had reservations about the tip-down only on my military, but I fell in love with the knife so much that it doesn't really bother me that much. I still prefer tip-up, but I am now willing to not ignore a knife due to tip orientation

[@raphaelbeinhauer9242]

On spyderco's, I dont mind tip-down as much, because you can do a spydie-drop.

[@donavantew8278]

You guys have a freaking awesome spyderco collection, the best I have ever seen

[@0zmosis2001]

I think Knife Works has a Spyderco Military with titanium frame lock and green g10 for about $190

[@mikelikesknives428]

You two are awesome. You have good taste in knives. I have a way to go in my collection. I am only a few months into collecting. I love it. Looking for bargains is an adventure. Keep up the good work.

[@BirdShotIV]

awesome, thanks Mike!

[@bluelivesmatter3600]

I would pick the Tenacious , Dragonfly and the Delica 4 because those are the three I have. Love Spyderco knives !

[@a97b18b]

Just ordered my 1st Spyderco dragon fly in orange! I like smaller knives so they don’t take up too much space in my pocket. So far I have only 2 knives, gerber paraframe and braza bro mini. The braza is favorite with its Ti handle and smooth action. When I was a kid I had tons of knives, but I didn’t know anything about them like what metal was used or anything. I still don’t know much but it’s fun learning and watching vids like yours!

[@BirdShotIV]

Dragonfly is a great knife! Thanks for watching! -Frankie

[@tonypatey5669]

I like the paramilitary2 for number one, I pick the manix for second place and for third place, I pick the rest of the knives. Impressive collection. Thanks, Tony

[@BirdShotIV]

"the rest of the knives" huh? lol thanks Tony

[@bryanmartinez4516]

One regret I have was never picking up a Slysz Bowie...damn I love that knife.

[@tristonevanko5726]

bryan martinez nick shabaz will sell it too you for 1 million dollars

[@bryanmartinez4516]

@@tristonevanko5726 I'm writing the check right now

[@TheRealHoltzy]

I own a Matriarch II in the black stealth finish with the Emerson opener. VERY scary knife

[@9jakepeterson16]

My first spyderco was the delica wave. Also my first "real knife". Love Syderco

[@BirdShotIV]

great combo!

[@minigmac1]

You two give me joy!

[@mr_unbelivable4312]

I own an all black matriarch 2 with the wave opener and the Wise Men ring attachment. Talk about overly tactical! I'd really like to see you guys do a review on the matriach soon.

[@BirdShotIV]

it definitely deserves a video!

[@nightsquats]

Carrying the Resilience today myself, wave modded zip tie style. Paired with a S&W dual cuttin horse for beater tasks...

[@BirdShotIV]

the Resilience is a fun knife!

[@raphaelbeinhauer9242]

Same here, Resilience with zip tie. Only Spyderco I own. LM Wave black oxide as the beather though.

[@rilukebo]

Lots o cool Spydies! I like my "blurple" set and my Lionspy pair, and my zdp set, and my damascus Delica, and my Stretches, and....oh my they multiply! Awesome set and love your faves. So inspirational!

[@BirdShotIV]

I need blurple everything! Bird order me some knives please! I need more :) -Frankie

[@brunomarques5807]

Just came across your video what a collection. It is the biggest collection I've seen.

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for watching!

[@troywheatley744]

Frankie and Bird HQ ....you got em all

[@BirdShotIV]

we wish!

[@ewbeal]

I love hat Myrtle! Dry interesting knife. Awesome collection. I love the white!!

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for watching Eric!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

You guys have a very nice Spyderco collection. Thanks for sharing it.

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for watching!

[@neilfacey341]

Can't believe how many knives Spyderco actually make/ made! I only have two, g10 native 5 and an urban :-) great vid.

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for watching!

[@thenextarcher]

fantastic collection. thanks for sharing. That paramilitary with white scales is pretty sweet. It looks like you need some discontinued models as they mostly are current models. I absolutely love my meerkat with an s shaped blade. (although my heart is always stuck with discontinued knives)

[@nathanthomas4630]

I’m surprised Frankie didn’t go with the green delica over the dragonfly. Great collection I’m definitely jealous!

[@BirdShotIV]

she's been liking that Dragonfly more and more these days

[@scotthill6807]

Holy Cow! That's a bunch of Sydercos. Nice collection. My three would be a Delica 4, Native 5 and Dragonfly 2 all with the FRN handles.

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for watching!

[@alexpoling4755]

I picked up a green Delica per Frankie’s advice and I like it more than I thought I would (I thought it would be too big for my hands, but it’s actually okay). It looks like there is a version of the Matriarch with the Emerson wave.

[@BirdShotIV]

that's great it fits you Alex!

[@ssunfish]

I picked up a grey on seeing Nick's. The green is awesome! I found out about wharncliffe variant when I ordered my first Delica and when they both came the grey never saw my pocket while the wharncliffe was my only EDC for eight months! I LOVE it! Funny, Ive had bucue Enduras and thought Delica would be too SMALL. It really works for me!

[@natebowman637]

I got my new spydiechef a few days ago. You guys were right i F'ing love it

[@BirdShotIV]

haha how could you not!!??

[@timmoore8491]

I love your videos. You two are so entertaining and knowledgeable. I could and have spent hours watching your videos. Thanks and keep up the great work

[@magicdave93]

Wha a great collection guys. I must admit I like Frankie’s techno, my own favourite is the para 2 with Flytanium scales. Great video as usual!

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks David!

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

Great Video guys and loved checking out all the spidies

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks Kevin!!

[@stevekushman3030]

Impressive & well rounded collection.

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks Steve!

[@57HEMIviken]

That titanium pm2 😍

[@theresamclaird1572]

Just as I was about to leave a comment saying that you do not have a chaparral, you pull it out of your pocket. LOL great video

[@zachallanmiller]

Lock backs are my favorite

[@pornchaidamrongthaveesak2581]

18:10 AGEED. GREAT COLLECTION !!! LOOK AT THOSE EDGES. THEY ARE MIRROR SHARPENED.

[@jeffweber7043]

my 3 from this collection would be para 2, szabo, and ss police. Great collection

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you Jeff

[@thomaslanders1162]

Nothing like a Spyderco collection video.. I think the first video of yours I ever saw was a whole collection or just Spydercos.. I remember thinking what's up with this chick that likes knives.. I was heavily into Spydercos and got sick of them... Sold about 20.. But, I've come full circle and have been buying them again.. I regret some I let go....You need a Centafone 3.. It's pinned like the Manix 2 LW.. But, a great knife at a decent price..

[@rodneybush227]

Love your collection I just started collecting spyderco

[@Be-durini]

It’s been a year, but I just wanted to say, if a tree falls in the forest and no one was there to hear it does it make a sound? Who knows cause you were there to hear it

[@knifeguy1387]

I love your collection videos I can’t imagine having that much money to spend on knives kudos to you guys keep up the good work

[@BirdShotIV]

it helps that it's our primary hobby these days and there's two of us lol

[@johobo2038]

And that is an awesome spydie collection.

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you!

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Manix lightweight is starting to grow on me.enjoyed the craic.atb paddy👍☺🍀

[@BirdShotIV]

GET ONE! lol thanks paddy

[@reaction9449]

Jesus.... watching this just made my list of spyderco’s grow by to many lol. I don’t own one of their knives..... yet. But man, my list is more money than I’d like it to be lmao. Thanks for the video! I’m a new subscriber and I’m totally jealous of both of yours collection. I need to stop watching knife videos because it’s making me want to spend wayyyyy to much money lmao great content from you 2, y’all seem very happy and it’s great to see the both of you being into the same thing, as much as I’m sure your bank account doesn’t like, it’s always cool when 2 people enjoy the same hobbies

[@pbriggs65]

Great collection! Thanks for sharing. No Para 3 lightweight?

[@mosherogoff1252]

Guys - I think the Matriarch is more properly considered a S-recurve rather than a hawkbill! I learned that when I picked up my fraternal twin 'Crickets' -- PE and SE!

[@MEINTBREIDER]

The Spyderco "De Leeuw"(It's Dutch) means The Lion.

[@AverageDE]

I was watching this trying to decide what 3 I would pick and it made me realize Marcin Slysz is amazing. I was leaning towards the SpydieChef, Techno, and Slysz Bowie.

[@BirdShotIV]

yep, love them all kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXikqIefZdKKlbM

[@paulhelm5384]

Spydie man, Spydie man. And Wife, of course.

[@blue-a4p]

beautiful collection lol i would choose Delica 4, Para 3, and Ladybug

[@timmoore8491]

Nice edge. What do you sharpen with?

[@esoteric5277]

12:20 Leo is close enough🤭 Leeuw is Dutch for lion. Nice knife, want one!

[@kova1577]

How much value would this estimate as? They definitely wouldn’t be cheap added up. Man, if I had even like five of the really good ones I’d be really happy

[@airwolf2001]

It's a good start.

[@bobb.9917]

The only Spyderco that I own is the ParaMilitary 2. Sprint Run O.D. Green G-10 Coated CPM-S30V Blade. :-) I decided to buy a Gray Benchmade Griptilian 550BK-1 with the sheepsfoot Spyderco Blade in PM-20CV Steel for my full-bodied Spyderco design!!! LOL! :-) I don't have Spyderco Addiction...I may have WE addiction, though! I might pick up a SpydieChef if they do a REALLY cool sprint run.

[@BirdShotIV]

nice!

[@bobb.9917]

Your collection is ASTOUNDING! :-)

[@nicolasshaffer3161]

My top three would be the Dragonfly 2 in h1, yellow frn, then the Endura with zdp189 and blue frn handle swap, finally a Manix in m4 and jade. Hope you have a good one.

[@BirdShotIV]

nice selection!

[@nicolasshaffer3161]

BirdShot IV Thanks

[@acidtablockshifty]

Blades has the manix 2 same white and blue rn on ebay, you literally have to buy it

[@BirdShotIV]

yes, it's calling

[@ytwilhemg]

Great collection!! Congrats.

[@BirdShotIV]

we really appreciate that

[@randallkelley3599]

The Matriarch, you should paint like Eagle feathers on the handle, looks like a bird of pray! (and were those nut-n- fancy signed)????

[@BirdShotIV]

lol yes nutn signed in person!

[@jacobmanalang8162]

thats a damn fine collection! ive got a soft spot for the police models and that g10 police YESSSS ive only had the endura wave for a month or two but thats my running around/going out knife carried the military for a year as my self defense blade. i sure wish they made it tip up. super sick you guys have the ti frame lock military models! endura, police, military would be the top 3 spydercos for me personally. i do really like the pm2 and manix 2. now that im into this blade replacement thing i may finally get a benchmade. i just ordered a zt0393 and got a saiga 7.62x39 so it may be a while

[@BirdShotIV]

we miss our Saiga 12 gauge :(

[@jacobmanalang8162]

those are so cool!

[@12GaugeLeadSalad]

I love my fluted Ti Mili!

[@BirdShotIV]

It’s so pretty! Each time I pick it up, I like it more :) -Frankie

[@devilrobrob]

It would look huge in her hands

[@csharpewalls]

Very nice collection, I don’t own any Spyderco’s always wanted a PM2 but for me too much money for a EDC knife. Don’t even own a knock off or a homage.

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks Chris!

[@MetalsForBrunch]

try the spyderco reinhold, techno 2, smock are my top 3 for 2018 in progress!

[@daveglarner2138]

Hey! Do you guys happen to know what they'll be changing about the techno to make the techno 2? I have an odd fixation on those chode-esque designs. Don't analyze that last sentence too deeply, there. Anyway, I have the techno and while there's a long list of stuff I'd change about it, I just can't put it down either. Was just curious if you knew what the new one might be like.

[@BirdShotIV]

barrel spacers instead of a backspacer and sheepsfoot vs drop point are the two big ones

[@daveglarner2138]

BirdShot IV I'll miss that blue there, but okay-fine. I suppose I'll spend the money I don't have on it anyway. My arm has been twisted.

[@shriazhennessey6297]

Top three for me is the Harpy, Delica 4, dragon fly 😁

[@Indomitable666]

What was the name of that mirror like edge it looks amazing 🤩

[@owenk.4071]

Oh hell yeah! I needed this! Thanks guys!

[@BirdShotIV]

lol thanks Owen

[@WayoftheBlade88]

What did you guys think of the Centofante 3/4? If I had to pick three, I'd go with the Centofante 3 (pretty much a Delica, just with a better overall look to me and the same price point), a Manix 2, and the Spidey Chef.

[@featherchuker1326]

You need to try the Stretch 2 as well folks.Chef, Manix and the Stretch 2.

[@BirdShotIV]

I’m surprised we never bought a stretch! ....we need one! -Frankie

[@featherchuker1326]

It is true, Frankie...You need a Stretch. :-)

Where did you buy all your knife from and do you have them on sale somewhere?

[@cameronutt6383]

Very nice collection. I don't own very many Spydies. *I have a Paramilitary 2 S110v. *A Manix 2 in M4. I used to have one in S30V but gave it to my Brother. Kinda wish I kept it though, my M4 version has detent issues. This would be the second tine I've had to send it back, and I put custom Micarta punisher scales on it so I costs me $20 plus shipping both ways every time (Im not that big of a fan of Spyderco's warranty department I'm sad to say. They got nothing on ZT, shots fired). * And a Mule Team in 20CV with Natural ghost G10 and Boltaron Sheath (sweet knife, wish I had more use for fixed blades). As for Spyderco's I'm looking forward to: *I'm waiting to see what Sprint Runs come out for The Shaman. *interested in Spyderco's new Smock knife (the button compression lock is intriguing, but Im thinking I should wait for Reviews) * Not new but I kinda want to pick up a Spydie Chef or Something in LC200N. I have a friend that works at the docks in Seattle and he swears by LC200N as the best steel ever. Thought I might have to check it out. What are you looking forward to?

[@BirdShotIV]

the Smock, absolutely! The Techno 2 as well. LC200N is a great steel indeed

[@gameterminator5847]

You still need to do a review on the ColdSteel FinnWolf

[@OldPackMule]

Wave Endura, PM2 (S35vn), Chaparral or PM3 (haven’t bought either, I’ll let you know when I do). Other than the Chaparral, I noticed you guys don’t do exotic steels. How come?

[@BirdShotIV]

it's not that we won't own/use them, just don't have many atm
