Your going to like the Lil Native! I never thought my XXL sized hands would be so comfortable on a small knife. I carry as a second blade most of the time.

Your husband got the same 3box batch as I did! Congrats to you both and hope you enjoy them.

I'm absolutely loving the Lil Native so far. I have extremely small hands (my wedding ring is a size 4) and it's just.... Wow. So great in the hands.

Now just trying to decide if I would rather have purple Fat Carbon or Flytanium G-10....

I just have to figure if the Siren is the CQI version or not.

Awesome lot your got there! Not sure if all the Pre CQI Sirens had the lock issue as I didn't buy one until the Sprint. You could try to open the knife and push down @45° angle on a wood cutting board. From what I remember in the original thread, The back lock would rise where it meets the blade! None ever disengaged and most users didn't know the lock would "pop" in use, Until the postings on the forums.
 
$37 Golden Natives?!

My score was totally awesome. Got a gritty Ayoob that is now one of the smoothest after a huge blast of wd-40.

Going to buy a 7.99 junk sheath and call it a day on the Waterway--hope it gets ugly in the tacklebox anyway! Satin isn't perfect on the Waterway but if you didn't tell me it was a second, I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Awesome sale Spyderco! Going to get all my users this way if it happens again.
 
I got a Waterway and an Aqua Salt SE. The Waterway is perfect. I dont see anything wrong with it other than a few pepper flake stains on the blade.

The Aqua Salt unfortunately has a crooked blade. I suppose it wasnt set straight in the mold.

I was thinking of putting it in a vice and trying to bend the tang/handle to make the blade straight. How tough is H1, will it snap the blade or do you think it will bend? I need to bend it about 3/16" to make it look straight.
 
My seconds Shaman came in yesterday. I can't find any issues with it aside from an uneven edge bevel near the tip. Such a fantastic knife -- I already have some purple hardware coming for it!

Here's my first ever Spyderco 2nd. I was hoping to score a Military 2, but none came up and I couldn't resist a 15v PM2 instead (coincidentally, my first PM2).

Action is smooth, detent is crisp, and lockup is rock solid. The only "issues" I could find were slightly uneven grinds, a minor but noticeable burr, and a small bright spot on the edge. None of them would be a deal breaker for me on a new knife. Incredible value.

Congrats on your first PM2, it's probably my most used knife, I've had various ones over the years and they've never let me down.
 
RoyalHolic RoyalHolic yup, I initially resisted them for being too bulky and favored the PM3 instead. I'm glad I went for the PM2 as I've really enjoyed using it this week. Solid worker.

They have a nice feel, never felt bulky to me but I have smaller hands. I know everyone who hates them says the blade length to handle ratio is weird or off but I think it's perfect.

Para 3 is great as well, doesn't get as much pocket time though.

The people that talk about blade to handle ratio never use their PM2, The YouTube talking heads!
