Spyderco certainly listens to their customers. Firstly, giving people a choice between a Mantra and Mantra 2. Secondly, the "issues" with the original Rubicon seem to be addressed with the update. The "issues" are: too thick, sharp edges on backspacer and the price.
That Sage 5 is a must with CF and Compression Lock! Great addition to the locking mechanism tribute series.
Spyderco started MAP at the beginning of this year. They'll all, except for sprints maybe, be priced at %60 of the MSRP.I think the new models are all fantastic, but I think the asking prices for some of them are way out of proportion to what we as consumers get as far as materials go; this is especially jarring with the Introvert, which I thought was goofy until Mr. Eric Glesser talked about it a bit. If it cost half of what it does at the most, I might have considered adding one to my collection. As a matter of fact, I feel the same way about the Mamba and Myrtle, too, which also catch my eye but likely will not find a home in my Spyderpac due to what I feel is too high an asking price for what you get.
The Mantras, however, I feel very differently about. I think these are a good value and I intend to pick the 1 up sometime down the road.
I like the Sage 5 and think it's a good design, but as I already own a Sage 1 and a PM2, I feel it would be a very redundant purchase for me personally.
I really, really dig the Ouroboros. We'll see what the street prices stabilize at before I decide whether or not I plan to buy one.
well, i just wish these were more readily available in germany. also the prices over here are outragous... that's what basically caused me to transition to european makers.
Is there even anything European which comes somewhat close to Spyderco? I mean Opinels are great but don't really compare.
Most of my friends and family in Germany count on me to bring them proper and reasonable priced sharp stuff from America. If instead there is a good European company for modern folders with ok prices, that would help.
