Holy shit..."as someone born with a number of holes...I have an affinity for spyderco" I fing died laughing.

holey cow a new Cedric and Ada review dropped!

[Abby_Normal_]

The Chaparral was my first Spyderco and my very first non gas station knife. Special place in my heart.

Love Spyderco, and have 3 Stretch models, 2 in ZDP-189 with the 'bulbous' snout, and the other is K390. Recently got the Sage 1 in Maxamet, my 1st Sage, and it is a dream. Many, many other Spydies, and I will not stop. That is my promise to you. Thanks for another enjoyable vid.

Im in the uk so unsurprisingly my favourite is the UKPK. I have a salt one and one in Spy27. I love that they are ambidextrous, one hand opening and are as solid in the open position as it's possible to be while not actually locking.... Oh and they cut really well too.

Every single time Basal screams righteous indignation into the abyss, it just INSTANTLY makes my day.

Thank you. 🔥🐈‍⬛🔥

Completely agree on the kapara. Just got one and while it is the most expensive knife I own by far it feels worth it. I love all spydercos but this one feels especially premium and it checks all the boxes for my edc, there is nothing I would change about it.

I've only had a few spyderco's but man o' man do I love my paramiltary 2 with micarda scales and cruwear steel. I sharpened it once last year (i tend to sharpen often) and I haven't touched the edge at all since! Nice to see that Cedric landed it in his top 5.

[DouglasRosser]

I just acquired a lightweight Police in K390 and I love it as well.

[Pharto_Stinkus]

Spyderco is also my favorite knifemaker.
I love the FRN knives, mostly because of the K390 steel that you can get many of the models in. K390 is without a doubt my all-time favorite steel. Some of my favorite K390 FRN's are the lil Temperance, Police 4 lightweight, and the Leaf Jumper (the most underrated Spyderco of all time).
Regarding your top 5:
1. I got bored of the Para 2 awhile ago, after carrying them pretty exclusively for like 10 years. It's a great knife, and I have several versions, but I don't really carry it anymore.
2. I bought a Spydiechef several years ago (primarily because of your glowing reviews) and I agree, it's a great knife. It's my "dress up" knife.
3. Never had a Kapara. I had one in hand in a shop once, and just didn't like it, and I've basically disregarded it since. Maybe I'll take another look at it.
4. Never had a Sage. It's just never "grabbed" me visually enough to get me to order one. I do regret that I didn't buy each of the Sage versions when they were in production though, just from a collector standpoint.
5. I have a Stretch in vg10 that I've always found to be pretty "meh". I also have a Stretch 2 in K390. The K390 blade steel transforms it into a different knife. I like it, but I don't really carry it, mostly because I prefer the compression lock for EDC.
My all-time favorite - and this hasn't changed since it came out - is the Shaman. The most well-rounded, do everything knife I've ever owned. I do use aftermarket slab-sided scales though, which completely change the carry profile, and the feel in hand.

"the bigger the gets the harder it is to do them like perfectly"...
COLD STEEL: Hold my beer.
Lol

My first ''real knife'' was the Manix 2 G10 allblack in S30v. Awesome knife and after 6 years of blue collar EDC, I added the ATW scale and made it close to perfect. This knife made me fall in love with the Spyderco brand and ethos. The steel variety is something that also keeps me interested in the brand.
I later added the PM2 cruwear, Yojimbo 2 cruwear, Chapparal moon and sun, Dragondfly zdp-189 and the Endura VG10 to the collection(my folder are mostly Spydercos).

The Manix is still my #1 after 9 years of ownership, followed by the Chapparal for the office and dressed events.

peace!

Why do you look younger Cedric lol. I’ve been out of knives thing in general for about 3 years. I remembered your channel and I’m surprised you look younger man. You also lost some weight! Good job

[DuhYaThink]

I’ve commented already, but here is my second take. My first Spyderco was a pm2 earth brown dlc s35vn, loved it so much I bought another one the same week and kept it “away”, still have it new in box from 2019. After 2 years of carrying that I started buying more Spyderco knives. Mostly pm2’s and para 3’s, and some different models like the yojimbo2 and endela’s from dlt red and black 20cv, have 4 of those 2 satin and 2 dlc. Then somehow I really fell down the rabbit hole and had some extra cash and was buying 2-3 knives a week for a year or so. Needless to say I have WAY too many knives now, 🤦‍♂️ around 160 Spyderco’s. Lately I’ve really been into backlock seki models, grabbed an Endura in pd#1 and 2 police4 lw’s in pd#1. But have also purchased the Military 2 in s110v and cruwear versions on sale. Have a Manix 2 g10 exclusive coming in cts-204p and this will be my 27th steel from Spyderco. Edc a Stretch 2 XL g10 cruwear and a native 5 lightweight serrated MagnaCut. I know, I have issues 😅 love the content you put out Pete. And love Bricky!!!!

Para 3 in Cru-Wear is my favorite - it's my EDC (Every Day Counter knife - I work from home and it lives on my kitchen counter) and gets the most use out of any of my non-kitchen knives. I have the Shaman as well - it's ok (and actually feathersticks quite well), but prefer the Para 3 for most cutting tasks that you'd use an "EDC" for if you're not working on a farm or industrial setting. It's a great little knife and carries extremely well on those rare occasions it's in my pocket (with a deep carry clip on it).

I live near Golden Co ..home of Spyderco factory and store..I love going there to smell the knives “cooking” ..I have a huge collection of Spydies…I have all the early Sage’s hard to come by..

[markmullen]

The Paramilitary 2 changed my life. Bought one about 15 years ago and I got the hype.

[liamvincent]

The stretch 2xl is one of my favorite knives of all time.

[tmille]

Sheep’s foot Caribbean is one of the greats as well, I clip it in my trunks and swim through salty creeks ocean and river 3 days a week and it just works so well !

[Pukindog]

Endela in Cruwear and K390. Both great knives!
