Spyderco Lum Chinese was first modern Shilin Cutter that I ever had. Spyderco kind of didn't give it the love the design deserved, mostly slippery aluminum or smooth carbon fiber handles, felt like an oiled banana in hand.

[@doodysdaggers]

Oh that’s interesting, I’ve never seen that knife before. Oiled banana doesn’t sound too good 😂

[@oldlefty]

Bob Lum was the Designer, he past away some years ago, great custom Designer.

[@RyanPennington87]

Ordered mine today. Thanks for the solid overview

[@analogmatrix1442]

Crazy idea here; I would like a mini nightshade liner lock, thumb stud knife with partial serrations 3/8 of the way up the beginning of the blade. In micarta if possible. The knife already looks funky and the serrations would help with straps, rope and band cutting while the belly slices and the tip details. Literal knife perfection.

[@doodysdaggers]

A serrated nightshade would be a rope and strap destroyer!

[@RockyMountainEDC]

What a refreshing knife design !! Thanks

[@granne2970]

I never did pickup the full size Nightshade, although i wanted to. Now the mini my fit the bill because i have been looking for a fifth pocket carry to rotate with my Maileahs! Thanks for the review! 👍

[@Sanchito209]

I like that they're so different than alot of things we see.

[@doodysdaggers]

I agree. It’s nice to see something new

[@nateianovici5739]

They’re new but almost a budget mini freek in a sense. I can’t afford the mini freek on my budget so this is wonderful

[@BrandonsSurfReportsEtc]

I'm wildly stoked on the Mini. I carry it as a secondary to my CS Spartan or Spyderco Pacific Salt most such a perfect backup. I've also never seen a cross bar on such a small knife work so well!

[@user-ze5bn2kr2t]

I love the mini and now I want to get the regular size one ❤❤

[@Hungrybird474]

The Vosteed mini freek 👍. Getting this . I have the bm mini freek and it’s cool af since it drops with a tight enuf pivot . The other one is a little wiggly or needs more hand time .

[@user-ze5bn2kr2t]

It's a nice little guy and it's a Christmas present from my mom so it's sentimental and I lost my precious kitty Sarah my fluffy pretty girl before Christmas after spending 200$ for medicine and she still died so it was such a nice little present from Mom to cheer me up and made me feel better about life. Knives, kitty cats, Goth, Mom and last but definitely not least, Jesus Christ is the things that make me happy in life and I have passion for ❤. Great video brother 👍

[@NomadicBristolview]

Saw your full size is a thumbhole vs studs. Haven't had a thumbhole, wondering which to get - which is easier?

[@mikecurtis2585]

Very nice great looking knife!!

[@kingcormack8004]

BETTER than the full-size! I have the premium version (they're both excellent) and it's a snappy little beast!

[@fibitabit8423]

Great review.

[@just_nate_8694]

I really want the normal sized nightshade first and then one of these bad boys.

[@MrSlicer2424]

Can the cross bar lock be disengaged with just a thumb or is it a typical stiff knock off axis lock?

[@doodysdaggers]

If you have a strong thumb you should be able to

[@MKIVGTIVR6]

Mine finally came in yesterday and I'm not in love. The cross bar lock is kind of meh.. definitely agree its a little too small and would have been better as a liner lock or other. I have a CJRB Maileah which is also very small and it hurts to say I may like it more. I'm going to test drive it for the next week because I really do love how slicey it is.

[@doodysdaggers]

Yep I agree. They should have kept it as a liner lock. The Maileah is a badass little knife!! So snappy and fun

[@watchoprofamity]

Sell it to me.

[@vrab.]

On the full size, have you tried the thumb stud version? I’m Not sure if i should get the hole or stud.

[@doodysdaggers]

I haven’t, no. I do know that they all have great detents, so it just comes down to personal preference. 🤘

[@ryandye6242]

I really like mine! I just wish the detent was stronger! But I like it better than the mini bugout. And HALF THE PRICE!!

[@calebhanan7099]

Which one should I get this or the qubit?

[@doodysdaggers]

Qubit

[@tgonzalez1983]

Does it fit well in the 5th pocket?

[@doodysdaggers]

Yes absolutely!

[@DrDrewdude]

Hard to decide which one I want. I guess that’s why you have both lol

[@doodysdaggers]

Exactly. Haha

[@watchoprofamity]

Man I want one of these. Anybody know where to get one?

[@doodysdaggers]

You may be out of luck until they make more. Unless you can find one used on Instagram or the knife_swap on Reddit

[@Richard_Cranium_Daily]

I might pick up a full size version. It’s the Spyderco aesthetics dilemma. It’s hard to get past the looks, but apparently the performance is exceptional.

[@doodysdaggers]

Agreed. Once you cut with it though, looks won’t matter anymore. I’d recommend the deployment hole version of the full size

[@b_shady_22]

Fat PP Kills me every time.. little but Stout ! 🤣🤣✌🏼✌🏼

[@doodysdaggers]

😂

[@ADSUPINTHIS]

Any interest in selling this knife? Seems nobody on the planet wants to sell theirs lol

[@doodysdaggers]

I actually sold it already. I just like the full size better. But I may be selling a full size with the deployment hole, if you’re interested

[@ADSUPINTHIS]

@doodysdaggers Thanks for the offer, But I'm specifically searching for the little guy. Glad I came upon your channel. Good stuff. I really dig the cut test vids.

[@doodysdaggers]

@@ADSUPINTHIS thanks man!

[@ADSUPINTHIS]

Knife has peyronies.
