Spyderco Amalgam

Just got this in the mail today. I don’t hear much about it surprisingly, but I’m glad I took a chance on it before just picking up another Para 2.

Anyone else try one of these out yet?

Seems to be a bit of a sleeper. It's on the list of ones I really want, but I haven't seen much in the way of reviews yet.

Is the buzz true about the cutting edge being exposed while closed?

What are your thoughts now you have one in hand?

Fondled one at DLT. Fantastic in hand for me, but otherwise a bit boring. I don’t like how the flipper tab comes through the area of the compression lock when closing.

It’s an open back handle design, just like many other knives, so I don’t see that as being unique to this knife.

So far, I really like it. I was almost 100% going to get a PM2 to replace the ones I had sold off years ago. I decided to go with this one due to being a newer design with the compression lock. I would’ve been happy either way, but this new design is pretty cool.

Not lefty friendly. Too bad because it's a cool design.

Nice, I’m glad to hear you like it.

The blade shape looks really great and so does the fit and finish.

I've been carrying this one a few months. Took the clip off because it's my belt sheath hiking knife and the knife is so thin and flat, the clip just gets in the way removing it. I really like it and think it will be on my side a long time. The weight is light too, for a big knife.

I think that's the wrong knife, I think you're thinking of the Tropen.

Good catch, you are correct. I mixed those two up...
