Funny how people make fun of spyderco fans saying they over pay so much but we have companies like benchmade selling old steels and marking up way more then spydercos. At least spydercos using all sorts of steals and not afraid to use differnt blade shape or drilling a hole right on the blade breaking molds by being bold.

My biggest complaint is if you break your spyderco, they don’t offer blade changes so if it breaks you’re stuck with it. Also anything from dealer exclusives have little to no warranty. But they do steels right and if i want to try something new i’ll go to spyderco but i prefer Benchmades warranty to spyderco’s.

I have 1 Spyderco PM2 and a Benchmade Bailout. The Spyderco has an excellent lockup, smooth operation, and feels excellent in the hand, fit and finish is top notch. My Benchmade was slightly dull out of the box, the blade isn't even close to centered, the Axis lock sticks and sometimes takes 2 hands to unlock, and it feels very cheap even though it cost about the same as my PM2

As a seasoned Spyderco collector l found this video very enjoyable and informative. My favorite thing about Spyderco, especially the PM2, is you can easily modify them to make your own. Recently I added burlap micarta scales and deep carry clips to my two Shamans and it really dresses them up nicely. ❤ Happy collecting. 😂

Yeah but they sure gave us a giant middle finger for the factory seconds sale. I just got into knives in the last 8 months or so. My first spyderco was the pm2 s90v. Then two weeks ago when all the major sites had a spyderco sale I went crazy and bought 6 more knives from them. Had no clue a factory seconds sale was right around the corner. Found out I about the seconds sale the night before and I tried getting on the site at exactly 9am when the sale started. The site wasn’t loading. Diffused I’d wait a few more hours and try again, 3pm still didn’t load. Finally when I came back at 4pm I got to the sale knives, the only thing worth buying was a Native 5 maxamet. I immediately added to my cart and tried to check out but got a message “sorry, we just sold out of this item.” Later that night I saw screen shots of what knives were on sale in the beginning and the insanely low prices they were marked. Couldn’t be more p!ssed. Spent $800 with them in the last month and when a really good sale came around I wasn’t even able to make a purchase cuz their site wasn’t working. Feels like a giant slap in the face. Came to find out the same thing happened to tons of other people.

I'm brand new to knife collecting. First knife is already a dream knife, the reate exo m. But recently found out spiderco is colorado based and today went to their factory direct warehouse in golden. Chase was very knowledgeable and helped me learn more about knives and helped me pick up knife 2 and 3: military 2 and delica 4. Really happy with them. He was also very upfront with some details like the fact i could find them cheaper online (like blade hq) but i have no problem paying a little more premium to support local.

Great video. While I do love a number of their designs, 3 things keep me coming back. Quality, steel variety & heat treatment. Only ever had a couple of minor quality issues - mostly to do with blade centring. Now I appreciate steel variety & heat treating may not be of interest to many. However, if you want a variety of steel in your diet & you want to know that you're getting the best out of it, then I can easily recommend Spyderco. You'll notice that Spyderco rarely leads the charge in using new steels because they take their time to dial in a good heat treat first. I'll take the halo off now. Sharp blades all.

Spyderco also has a little-acknowledged Byrd line of budget knives. They're similar to the Value folder series in that they are 8Cr13MoV steel and made in China, but they tend to run a bit cheaper, and they have a couple of hawkbill and wharncliff shaped blades that are interesting in their own right.

If you love the Tenacious (assuming 8Cr steel) - you'll absolutely love the Shaman & PM2. The step up in terms of performance is massive regardless of which steel you go with. While there is some step-up in handle ergos and overall quality - it's the steel where you get the jump. Regardless of S30V, S35VN or S45VN etc.... the improvement in sharpness & edge retention is awesome. You even get a bump up in corrosion resistance. Yes, they are a bit harden to sharpen bit the performance hit is well worth it. Have a great day.

Very true, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes having some variety allows users to get a model that best meet their needs. eg. I first bought a PM2 in S30V and it worked well. However, in a new job I found myself wanting more edge retention and went and bought another one with M4 steel. Have a great day.

My first Spyderco knife was an original Mariner with a fully serrated sheepsfoot blade and a stainless handle (not scales, it was machined from a solid piece of steel). I later was thrilled to be able to buy a left handed version, with a left-oriented pocket clip and reversed serrations for better left-handed cutting. On a sailboat you really want to be able to cut rope fast in an emergency, and this knife made me feel safer. Also, despite the sheepsfoot blade I never felt unarmed carrying it with those wicked serrations.

I'm a little sad y'all left out the Native Chief, I feel like the Shaman is less representative of the Native series while the Chief is everything the Native 5 is but longer. For anyone who likes big knives but doesn't like how large in the pocket most big Spydercos feel, the Chief is really the way to go. Oh man, also no love for the Police 4! It's one of the earliest Spyderco designs, and the lightweight versions pack a lot of blade into a package that disappears in the pocket. The K390 version provides the ultimate slicing tool, with the high edge retention steel being enhanced by a full flat grind and distal taper. It's great for self defense, for first responders, for EDC, and even works well in the kitchen as a paring knife. Big knives can do small knife jobs, but small knives can't do big knife jobs!

I own many spydercos (carrying para 3 lightweight m390 right now). Love my endura in k390 and yojimbo 2 as well. I just hate the price hikes. I need to get a manix 2 sometime soon but can’t justify spending that much. Fortunately I’m focused on filling out a fixed blade lineup for field work and on a TOPS kick right now. I know spyderco isn’t the only one but seeing blades get close to $200 as a middle price still hurts me

One durability perk of spydercos with nylon grips, thin / small blades, and minimal or no liners: a 2-3oz lightweight spyderco can survive a tip down drop that no 4+oz Paramilitary will. In a knife carried for use, dropping the knife is as plausible a source of damage as hard use. The atlantic salt is basically impossible to damage from dropping, between light weight and blade shape.

I have a Spyderco Endura serrated blade that is over 30 years old that I still carry frequently.

Same here! Full serrations...it was my first "good" knife and it cost $35 at a gun show. Still cuts like new and it HAS been heavily used!

I haven’t bought a Spyderco since the nineties and I miss them. I like the Yojimbo but I wish they would make it with the techno 2 blade.

For many years buying the BS knive at random places an they were meh, but once I really did my research and started understanding what makes a good knive, Spyderco is definitely the way to for me. Bought 3 this year and not looking back. Set on Spyderco, Yojimbo 2 is the next one I would love to get my hands on as a service member. Like he said in the video Yojimbo and the Paramilitary Series are great for military members. He is definitely not wrong there. Highly recommend Spyderco knives to anyone, even get my 3 kids there own when they are old enough and responsible enough to carry their own.

I've had a Military for about 10 years as my work knife (law enforcement) and has never let me down. Hard use almost every day. Works equally well with and without gloves which is not that common. Yes it's big but sometimes you need big and if you need big you need reliability which is why I love my Military. Have a great day.

Awesome video! I'm curious how y'all feel about the Manix 2? Just picked one up in 20CV, I absolutely love it. Stung a little bit to not see it on the list 🤔. Keep up the great work!

Manix 2 is perfect. My favorite edc now. Just bought one and have been carrying it for a few weeks. I carried a para3 for years (which is also amazing), but the manix 2 ticks all my boxes.

@davidf3974 thanks David. I couldn't be happier with it! Was very excited to snag the 20cv exclusive from KnifeJoy a few weeks back. My only complaint is that it's lime green! Which isn't a real issue, I'll just grab some extra scales for it at some point.

If I had to guess it'd be because they probably didn't have any in stock at the time of recording the video. I remember asking the same question around 3 years ago about the Bugout not being shown on a Benchmade Buyer's Guide video, and the media guys commented back saying something like "we would have featured it, if you guys didn't buy them all" lol
