Dude the cut test you put out on the delica warncliff was what finally convinced me it was time to get a Spyderco knife. I absolutely love mine and now I can’t stop buying their knives in k390. I just wish they would start doing the Shaman and Native 5 in it because man it just works so well. Thanks for getting me into Spyderco man!
Great collection. I initially thought Spyderco made fugly knives. After seeing many videos - yours especially helped convince me - I got my 1st PM2 last year and fell in love with it. Picked up a Knifejoy exclusive 20CV Li'l Native at Christmas time and that knife is almost permanent in my EDC carries. Next I want Manix 2, Smock, Para3, Canis, Shaman, native 5, etc..... So dang many!
Skip the Manix, or at least get it last. It's so 'unlike the others' that it doesn't even feel like a Spyderco. Most restrictive handle, weird balance (very handle-heavy), hard spring on the ball bearing lock, and if you go for a deep carry clip expect it to dig into your palm when using the lock.
Love spydercos. Ive got a couple of byrd models as well which are very affordable. Even i can sharpen them as well. That mule team is awesome. I don't know if we can get them here in uk, never seen one.....but we can get most of the others.
i've collected knives a couple years now. production, midtech, custom. hands down spyderco is best bang for your buck ACTUAL cutting tools. owning many of them. Chef, native para 3, para 2 , techno 2, sage 5, manix 2, delica, chapperal, brouwer, probably missing some. the one that i would choose for edc overall is the Native 5 in cruwear. its thats good. figet factor, boringly good cutting. good ergos. enough blade for daily tasks. i think it is at the top and if i had to choose one production knife i think that would be it
That’s a lot of cutting power on one table! Love the custom jobs you’ve done as well. Can’t wait for the competition. I only have my PM2 left, which is pretty much my daily right now. But, man I do miss that blade finish on the Swayback. I’m with you on that. Awesome collection Dood.
Wow, I love that Swayback mod! How are you cutting the jimping? As far as adding to your collection ... how do you not have a Manix 2? Definitely one of my favorite Spydercos!
I do have a Manix 2 but I can’t show it because I’m doing a mod competition and haven’t revealed it yet. I cut in jimping with a tiny cutoff wheel attachment in a Dremel
The Native was my introduction to any knife more special than the typical Mora we use in Sweden.. It was just called the Native back then in summer of 1999 or 2000 cant quite recall.. but I ended up not using it at all and its still in mint condition with only ever being used to cut paper to impress friends 😊
Beautiful collection! I still do not own a single Syderco! Had a Shaman in my hands a couple of months ago, but didnt pull the trigger. One of these days!!
Thanks for the great video! Really appreciate your time and insights. Just curious... now that your Native 5 is well broken-in, can you spydie-flick it open? Or thumb-roll only?
I have around 30 spyderco. Some models I have multiple. Pm2 was my first spyderco. I was fortunate to grab all 4 15v models. My favorites are pm2, Manix 2, shaman, endura
sage 5 in rex 121's coming, I'm patiently waiting for that and the magnacut para 3. you might like the mcbee. I'm going to copy your delica build, I already have the flytanium scales. I had them on a cruwear delica but idk I missed the light weight of the frn.
Fantastic collection! Your Spydercos are on point with some great scales. I think a lot of us got into this hobby after seeing someone open their Spyderco with a spydie-flick. 😂 I hope you get a chance to really use a Kapara, someday, if you haven’t already. I think they’re pretty awesome and there’s lots of scale choices on the secondary market. From Micarta to Titanium.
I take stretch 2 in k390 over pm2 any day. Especially if you don't mind backlocks but prefer slicier blades. Great collection and customized to the max!
@@doodysdaggers By spydercos spec: PM2: Blade Thickness 0.145" (3.7mm) Stretch2: Blade Thickness 0.118" (3mm) So it is a considerable difference in my oppinion.
I got the Bodacious on order along with the S90V/Teal exclusive PM2. I have the BBB Shaman and Manix 2 as well but I am keeping them “in box” as they are more of an investment due to their limited run and popularity.
Damn i really dig that front flipper mod you did on your Swayback! You just made that knife about 80% more buyable too me :). Thanks for what yer doing brother, keep on cutting shit.
If you love the Native you really should try the Chaparral. It's like a slightly smaller Native with way thinner blade stock (like QC Drift thin). The FRN version is cheap and still extremely well made.
Yeah man get a Sage 5 for sure but wait for the rex121 to come out just to try something new. It’ll be a while but would be fun. The Sage 5 is my all time favorite spyderco next to the native 5
Don't know why we don't see more CTS XHP in use on the market. I own a SOG Pentagon in that steel, excellent edge retention. I gotta get me a Little Native. Good video, Kevin. Thanks. Oh, and I think you need a Manix 2XL.
I reemed my spydie hole out and made it more like an oval, so I could ue it better, just a suggestion. They say the k294 is almost identical to 10v, outstanding
Love my Spydercos. Amazing knives, each and every one of them. I also do have some Wharncliffe Spydercos and although they are extremely useful, they are absolutely ugly. But great knives nevertheless.
I remember when i didn't understand why spyderco was a thing and people loved them so much....now I have 5(currently)....I do think the compression lock is super overrated though...
@@doodysdaggers I have 2, lil native wharny and sage 5...I have not tried a cme though....but the compression lock is super hyped and i just dont think it's all that great to actuate...also a native 5, manix 2, and sage 1 liner lock
Can you call them spyderco knives when you change the handles and clips? Guess you can say you like their blades.. since that is all that is left that's original😂
Custom scales and/or mods on everything but chef and swayback, right? Looks like you like spyderco knife blades, not spyderco knives. I did the same thing with para2, 3 and yojumbo. I love the steel and geometry but hate the cheap edgy scales.
They will be doing a sprint run sage 5 in rex121 in the future.
Next you are gonna tell me the PM2 Bowie was also not just an empty tease of a personal project.
@@quickslashgib5800the rex121 sage 5 is quite literally confirmed and was released in the most recent reveal a few days ago.
@@acid6urns I seen that because I check the page religiously for the satin PM2 salt.
No they're not
@@danieloshea3326yeah they are, you can literally get both G10 and FRN Sage 5s in Rex 121 right now.
I’ve been carrying my 15v shaman a lot lately! Sweet collection Dood

Awesome!!
I grew up in and have a lot of family in Golden. I gives me a lot of pride that such quality products are made in my home town.
Oh that’s rad!
Love All my Spyderco’s!!! Good Morning!!! Their Heat TREATING IS ALWAYS ON POINT!!
I sharpened my buddy’s Tenacious with the 8cr13mov and I was impressed with the edge it took. Spyderco 8cr13mov is not your everyday cheap steel.

@@doodysdaggers Well, you did a great job with the Swayback. How did you match the finish on the scales after grinding?
@@BladeLabMiami I didn’t. It’s just a shiny titanium finish where I did the grinding.
The Native was my introduction to any knife more special than the typical Mora we use in Sweden.. It was just called the Native back then in summer of 1999 or 2000 cant quite recall.. but I ended up not using it at all and its still in mint condition with only ever being used to cut paper to impress friends 😊
I have a lot of Spydercos too. You should try the slys Bowie Kevin.
I would love to try one yeah
Well you have a few more than I do 😂. Great collection. I need to send my sway back to you for that front flipper mod. That is cool.
Yeah I’ll hook ya up
Are those AWT scales cerakote ? What grit sandpaper did you use to soften the edges and give the worn look?
Doesn’t matter just any sandpaper you have lying around
@@doodysdaggersare they cerakote?
@@jeremykelly119 yep
Beautiful collection! I still do not own a single Syderco! Had a Shaman in my hands a couple of months ago, but didnt pull the trigger. One of these days!!
Love me some spyderco. You already know I love my sliverax the best but I have got to get a sage 5 and compare to the para3.
I still gotta try that thing
Thanks for the great video! Really appreciate your time and insights. Just curious... now that your Native 5 is well broken-in, can you spydie-flick it open? Or thumb-roll only?
Yes I can flick it. Not as easy as a compression lock Spyderco but doable
AWT and Mxg are excellent on spydie’s but I love Mr. Ripplingers micarta or aluminum and a lynch blacksmith clip 🔥
I have around 30 spyderco. Some models I have multiple. Pm2 was my first spyderco. I was fortunate to grab all 4 15v models. My favorites are pm2, Manix 2, shaman, endura
i have the same opinion on sharpening choils. they also snag on plastic
Have you ever thought of getting the spyderco techno 2? I never been too sure about getting that one because I have bigger hands.
Never tried one actually
You forgot Magnacut when listing the steels available for the Para 3 LW. Just picked one up a week or so ago and it’s awesome.
sage 5 in rex 121's coming, I'm patiently waiting for that and the magnacut para 3. you might like the mcbee. I'm going to copy your delica build, I already have the flytanium scales. I had them on a cruwear delica but idk I missed the light weight of the frn.
Oooo that’s gonna be tempting

Oh yeah that’s another one that I’ll own eventually. For sure
I take stretch 2 in k390 over pm2 any day. Especially if you don't mind backlocks but prefer slicier blades. Great collection and customized to the max!
Is it much thinner than the pm2?
@@doodysdaggers
By spydercos spec:
PM2: Blade Thickness 0.145" (3.7mm)
Stretch2: Blade Thickness 0.118" (3mm)
So it is a considerable difference in my oppinion.

nice collection, I dropped my manix xl in the ocean. Had it for years. Was a sad day..lol
Noooooo
Damn i really dig that front flipper mod you did on your Swayback! You just made that knife about 80% more buyable too me :). Thanks for what yer doing brother, keep on cutting shit.
Love that 15v shaman man
Wow you have a great collection. I have 2 very old spydercos and one newer. They all work great
My Para 3 G-10 is also super snappy. That's the main reason why I'm holding on to it right now.
If you love the Native you really should try the Chaparral. It's like a slightly smaller Native with way thinner blade stock (like QC Drift thin). The FRN version is cheap and still extremely well made.
Yeah man get a Sage 5 for sure but wait for the rex121 to come out just to try something new. It’ll be a while but would be fun. The Sage 5 is my all time favorite spyderco next to the native 5
I actually ordered one today. Maxamet
Manic 2! Nice collection dude
my para 3 LW with awt scales is also extremely snappy :D love it
Okay nice! Maybe they all are
Don't know why we don't see more CTS XHP in use on the market. I own a SOG Pentagon in that steel, excellent edge retention. I gotta get me a Little Native. Good video, Kevin. Thanks. Oh, and I think you need a Manix 2XL.
Great collectión! Love me some Spyderco
Please make video in which you explain your tattoos.
❤pm2 IS a classic. Definitely in the top 3 of all time EDC blades……🧐
Manix2, smock and kapara should be on the must have list. Ok, maybe the yojimbo too. Where does a guy stop?
You really need a chaparral man. You would love it
I reemed my spydie hole out and made it more like an oval, so I could ue it better, just a suggestion. They say the k294 is almost identical to 10v, outstanding
the sneak peek manix tho 👀
Recently got the para 2 in magnacut. Extremely disappointed. Allready sharpened it 15 times trying to figure out why its so bad.
The coating ruined the action as well. I think that's what's doing it anyways. Why coat magnacut anyways?
That’s very odd
Where’s the Manix 15v!??
It’s being modded
Get the Smock next. Seriously get it.
I was gonna say Manix but it looks like you got that covered!!
Love me some Spyderco knives
If there's noChaparral there's no collection.
Native 5 is the best spyderco knife.
Agreed
@@doodysdaggers Took me almost a year to get my head around it, the knife is so simple and basic. But it is the truth.
Nice stuff
Love my Delica Wharnie
very cool
The only spydie in currently hunting is a paysan to match the anthem.
Love my Spydercos. Amazing knives, each and every one of them. I also do have some Wharncliffe Spydercos and although they are extremely useful, they are absolutely ugly. But great knives nevertheless.
I remember when i didn't understand why spyderco was a thing and people loved them so much....now I have 5(currently)....I do think the compression lock is super overrated though...
Not a compression lock guy?? So yours are all backlocks then?
@@doodysdaggers I have 2, lil native wharny and sage 5...I have not tried a cme though....but the compression lock is super hyped and i just dont think it's all that great to actuate...also a native 5, manix 2, and sage 1 liner lock
Bhq owns Flytanium
Interesting
Any sage is #1 in my book and the chef has grown to #2 even with the skinny junky feeling lockbar lol.
I need a Sage
I carried a sage 5 on my brother's wedding I have the carbon fiber one
@chriselliott484 same looking for a sage 2 again everyday that isn't 300$ lol
Can you call them spyderco knives when you change the handles and clips? Guess you can say you like their blades.. since that is all that is left that's original😂
Haha
Custom scales and/or mods on everything but chef and swayback, right? Looks like you like spyderco knife blades, not spyderco knives. I did the same thing with para2, 3 and yojumbo. I love the steel and geometry but hate the cheap edgy scales.
For the most part yeah. I think the stock g10 Shaman scales are pretty good. And I really dig all the Crucarta stuff
