Spyderco Amalgam. Brian Lai design greatness!

This is an overview of the Spyderco Amalgam. This is a big beast of a knife that is so comfortable in hand. Brian Lai design and made by the Taichung Taiwan manufacturing facility that never disappoint.

I have an Amalgam that is my number one carry now, an has been since I got it in Aug 2020, I have nothing but great things to say about this gem, it carries like a knife half its size, I got used to the flipper tab an compression lock in about 3 times of closing it. Its a lightweight beast, has a great tip, an love the full flat grind, all around fantastic knife! An the ergonomics on this thing cannot be beat!

I have and love both the Amalgam and Shaman. Like you I learned quickly to get my finger out of the way closing the Shaman.

Some people scared me off with ranting about the flipper tab, but you really pointed out its not that hard to deal with.
Thanks for the great review, will be picking up one of these!

Nice! I played with an Amalgam once and it wasn’t quite my vibe but it was fun!

Today I finally did the flipper delete on my Amalgam... It’s been my EDC for the last three months and have loved all aspects of it except for the lacking flipper/compression compatibility (to me anyways) and I’m so much happier with the (flipper deleted) knife now. 🙂‼️

Dude! I've been doing the same damn thing for 6 months. Chatting with the designer not knowing who he was the whole time.
