@@escapetherace1943if you stop supporting them you can kiss them goodbye. That’s not how industry works. I agree with some of your comments in terms of a need for more innovation from Spyderco but a lot of what they do and why they do it well, is because it’s a good recipe. You don’t walk into your favorite restaurant and demand change do you? It would be silly. Yet the restaurant over time expands their Menu at occasionally. No other knife manufacturers are pumping out such a wide range of steel options like Spyderco does. It may not matter to you but it does matter to many. Especially if you use a knife in a professional application where certain steels are needed.
Where’s the PM2 Bowie Spyderco teased us with awhile back. lol. Also, that Magnacut PM2 is a must have!! And I gotta give Eric G some props for calling the Reeve Integral Lock exactly what it should be called and not saying a frame lock. That’s respect in the industry. 👻👊🏻
I have almost every buck knife from 101 to 124 mostly with cocobola handles. I even managed to pick up a 119 and a 117 Brahma with leather grips and a combat utility knife. Many years ago I sold my buck Master to a friend of mine who still has it and one of these days I'm going to ask him if he would sell it back that would make my collection complete. I'm not too much into the modern buck knives I like the old style because I am an old style
On the same page here - the chinese manufacturers are churning out tens of new models every year - and our much loved Spyderco is changing the materials year after year. With all due appreciation and respect for the difficulties involved, the costs of changes and the quality control - we would still love to see some new designs every year...
Such a big difference comparing Spyderco to the rest. You get such high quality refined improvements in their models, top tier steels, best heat treatment and grinds, ergonomics and the latest techs. Compared to the rest US brands they are also best priced for the performance.
This and seeing them again collaborate with Lionsteel is amazing! As Lionsteel is one of the top Tier knife makers worldwide with great designers and ideas and perfect quality - saying this as a german guy ;-)
Every time I watch or listen to Eric talk about spyderco, I always think to myself how lucky we are that he shares the same passion for knives and steel performance as his father Sal.
Boy we have been waiting on that rex121 Sage!!! I remember Eric saying it on the forums that he was carrying a rex121 sage for testing so I was expecting one eventually! I'm super stoked that it's confirmed we are getting one! Now if we can also get a manix 2 in rex121 as well!!!!
Can we please get a Shaman with micarta scales and a convex grind Magnacut or cruwear blade. Also put some shaman style scales on the manix and manix xl. The handle is not comfortable for long or hard use.
I'd buy so many more Spyderco if I could get my hands on them. They make way extra of all the knives I don't want and very few of the ones I do. They driving me crazy
7cr is not a steel I buy... but, guess it's the Buck heat treatment....because THEIR 7cr is NOT BAD at all. I have a Buck Odessa in 7cr, hollow grind, and it STILL cuts well years later, I rarely sharpen it
Gotta love Eric, his personality is great and he's so happy and excited to discuss knives. I have talked to him on the phone twice a c couple years ago when I had a problem with a knife that had a crumbly edge and the steel kept crumbling away as I sharpened it trying to find Un fatigued/over heated steel but it wasn't that it was indeed a failed heat treat. We ended up talking for like 45 mins on the first call and like 1.5 hours on the second call. He was a total gentleman and a pleasure to discuss knives with. I had a problem with one of their knives and I had thr ceo calling me, how many other companies out there would that happen with? He wanted to know in depth what was going on and when they got the knife back and did their testing on it to find out what was wrong it was found there was indeed heat treat issue that caused some grain growth and the edge would just crumble away as it was formed.
Go Spyderco, they do it right. Good prices for a ton of steels done right as he said. I’d be super surprised if anyone rusts Magnacut or Lc200N. Maybe if they forget it in the ocean for a month.
Magnacut is much easier to rust than LC200N or H1/H2. Still pretty tough to do, though. Magnacut is barely more corrosion resistant than 20cv/M390/CTS-204P. Crazy as that sounds, it's true. I bet the coated magnacut is indestructible.
@@phil2082 exactly so 9.5 rated stainless is gonna take a lot of work to get rust to show. In the vast majority of scenarios it won’t. Like I said only if you forget it outside for a month maybe you will see some specs of rust.
@@BrandonGavin_EDC Yeah, probably not even then. But basically, the same goes for 20cv/m390. Unless you need a little extra toughness to best on the knife, magnacut is probably not as good as those others. The H1/H2 stuff basically cannot rust, too, so there's that.
Aint it funny how you go on line when the hot new model from Civivi or Kizer etc & the day after it drops you see out of stock but yet the hot new model from Buck with 7cr17 steel is available all year long 24-7 ......think about that
I have a AKC knife with 440c and I didn't think it would stay sharp. But I use it as a work piece cutting everything. After over 2 years it is still decently sharp. I'm actually impressed. And surprised.
Tell me about it... When I heard that first set of aluminum handle flippers had 7cr13mov and were $66 MSRP, I almost sh*t myself lol. It looks like their sales and pricing department told Benchmade to "hold my beer" when they were accounting this years catalog lol
Love Buck but their pricing is stupid. It’s not even close on their premium stuff. The Auto is sweet and priced decently but that’s about it. That Buckmaster and Titanium 110 is insulting to people who wanna support USA made stuff.
@@SMKWcomexactly, prices are relative to inflation and how much people are willing to spend on something. When knives sell out in 30 seconds… the demand is still higher than pricing.
The auto is priced decently and that’s about it? You can buy a slim select 110 for $33 and the slim select 112, for even less. Can’t think of a single other manufacturer selling a capable USA made locking folder for a price anywhere near that. They’ve made some mistakes but I believe their good outweighs their bad and they’re truly one of the very last reasonable companies left in the industry.
I love Buck but can not believe they opted for a 7cr steel on those newer EDC's, WTF!? JEEZ! 420HC would've been way way way better.... for the customer anyway, guess Buck got one hell of a steal on 7cr steel:) LMFAO!
Maybe I'm in the minority, but 7cr is not something that any decent American company should be using in knives. And for 60? Has to be better ways to keep price down. Washers instead and use maybe aus8. My opinion of course. I don't know anything about manufacturing or running a business.
Nothing from Buck tickles me, yet again another year. It's so frustrating I want them to not only do something good but be the best. It's like watching a company that could build the best rolex watches on earth making paper clips.
Eric from spyderco is such a damn awesome genuine guy. Never gets tired of talking about his knives he always lights up and i love it.
Awesome dude for sure!

Buck Knives and Spyderco are looking fantastic!
I've been drooling over the Buck Akouna for decades!
They are beautiful knives
I am so bloody stoked for that Salt PM2!
Very cool to see Spyderco bringing a new coating and doing it in-house at that.
You and me both!
What a bunch of great knives.
The buckmaster is epic
Eric is a legend. And thank you Spiderco for being top shelf and keeping the cost reasonable 🍻
I always look forward to your videos from shot and blade show. Thank you for creating them.
Thanks for watching! We love being able to bring Shot Show to everyone 👍
I went 100% SPYDERCO about 10 years back.
10 years later...........Still stoked that I did!
#lifer
I love the way this man touches these knives.
Hey SMKW and TC and camera guy thank you for bringing me shot show. I’ll be watching every episode. SMKW, the best place to buy knives. Thx
🙌🙌🙌
Finally! That new coating is going to get me buying my first Spyderco knife.
I'm so incredibly happy that they are starting to listen to people. Thanks for the video for those of us who can't go!
Thanks for watching Dustin!
Keep it coming guys.
That was cool!
🙌🙌🙌
Love Spyderco.
That Buck Duke is sweet!

Love a 112!
Condor ❤❤❤
Condor makes some awesome blades!
loved hearing backstory of designs from the designers themselves

The Buck 838 Deploy was my favorite carry knife until the internal spring screwed up. Now it only opens halfway when the button is pressed.
Try gettin in contact with Buck to see if this is covered by warranty

Cool knives
If I had to have beers w any youtube knife channel's host it's this one for sure
If you catch us out and about we may take you up on that lol
I love the Buck and Spyderco line! The Amalgam being my favorite so far, The Para 3, an Police some of my others!
Thanks for watching!

Spyderco still among the best!
Nice new knives 😃
Thanks for watching
Buck and Spyderco have some great new stuff. I will be buying every magnacut blade that I can afford.
We love MagnaCut as well!
Michica looks like its going to be a great knife!
Gimme that 15V! 😍
That Bodacious in Magnacut and micarta! 😊
This page is dope
Love the channel
Thank you!
The greatest thing about the channel I only live 20 minutes away from the store😀😀😂
Stop by often! We always have something or sales going on 👍
i have a few CRKT knives, and the Ripsnort is one of them.
Wow, a Rex121. Had to be tough to make. Good job
Very!
Rex 121 Sage 5 lw 😮 gotta have it 😅
Good video
I like the condor guy. At the same time he definitely seems like a crazy person.
Joe is one of a kind!

I would so like to make it to this show.
Right now there are 3 Blade Shows spread out across the country and throughout the year bladeshow.com/ Hopefully we will see you at one
I really wish Spyderco would put a little thicker and contoured micarta on their Cruwear knives.
Whats that CRKT flesheater knife doing on the table?
Since when does a wharncliffe blade curve on the edge? Is this a new thing or what?
Ummm …yes 🤔
I'd love to see that buck 110 in a liner lock on berrings that would be sick asf

Yes 😍
FDE spyderco with copper handle 😮
Anybody know when spyderco will release their SpyMyto lionsteel collab??
I just wish Buck would bring back the marksman. An upgraded marksman with a magnacut blade and shredded carbon would be amazing.
Where is Emerson knives?!
"BODACIOUS" >>>> "BLACK SALT" ... Bring it ON... !!!

$65 and Buck gives you 7Cr…. What a great value/s….
Buck guardian 3 and guardian 4. Nice. Probably more expensive than Bradfords.
Maybe not
Seems like Buck didn't really try this year.
Oh mama, how much is the Ti 112 please tell me and take my money 😊
Buck's 440c Does need to be sharpened more often but it's easy to sharpen and I can wash my knives in the sink with my other cutlery.

The CRKT reveal was a little hard to watch 😳
Well thats cool once again spydercos only knife thats new is limited production at 2000 wtf
Buckmaster…420HC, G10 and Kydex for $800? OK, new design but old materials for $800? 🤨
Yeah that is an insult, at this point Buck is legit price gouging USA buyers.

Why 7cr??!!
Buck are stuck in the 50s with blade steel but desighn is in the 2000s
Their pricing is in the 2050s
Sounds like a great movie.
I love these vids my wallet hates em
7CR BLADE STEEL!
Old bumpers
I wish they’d bring back the marksmen !
Am I the only one that didn’t see case knives?
Might be the only one that didn’t watch the video at 14:53 or read the description.
$60 for a 7CR Buck folder?
Retailers are smart. That’s why they won’t sell your 7cr knife for $60. Should be $30.
Leave it to spyderco to invent a new coating that does not affect the heat treatment, what a legend.
Off subject, but I am very curious.. Why did SMKW decide to display the American Flag backwards on the right sleeve of your shirts?
15v Pm3!
420hc has been around forever because its really cheap to buy (by Buck) and most people dont really USE their knives....max profit for Buck...
Looks like Buck continues to offer mostly onlyhollow grind blades 😢
