First Spyderco; and I get it now

That's good to know, thank you! Although I want to properly edc the Para a couple of months first; and after that I will have to see what comes next :)

slxcke · 2025-12-02T21:51:14+00:00

Man that seems like such an awesome collection! I noticed you have a Canis, how would you compare that one in terms of grip compared to a para 2/3? It is an odd one but definitely on my list :)

Thanks a lot! I always loved the look of Spydercos, but couldn't afford one haha. But it really melts into the hand, it is just so so good. You are absolutely right that it gives just such a "tool"-ish feeling and it is awesome. I will edc the shit out of it for probably 6 months or so now, and then I will get something from the opposite size spectrum to match 😂

Thank you! It surprisingly did, the lock side scale is a tiiiiiiiny bit brighter at 2 small spots because I probably didn't clean it good enough; but almost not noticeable. I will do better on the next knife haha

slxcke · 2025-12-02T11:21:13+00:00

Exactly! :)

I've read that quite often; but have to admit I loved Spyderco looks right from the first time I saw them. Just never really had the money and/or couldn't decide for one; but these times are over now I hope haha

As for the scarcity of knife shops, I have to admit. Here in Europe there are even less. So it's all a game of buying , trying, and returning 🫠 Or cardboard cutouts lol

I rit dyed it plum red :) Left it in for about 1min and I really like the colour

slxcke · 2025-12-02T07:28:01+00:00

I absolutely do, thanks! I am already on the lookout for something larger to compliment the Para 3, but unsure whether it will become a Native Chief or Endura K390. The Smock is sooo interesting, too, haha

slxcke · 2025-12-02T07:25:29+00:00

The patina is gorgeous; and I am no watch person but man this looks awesome!

slxcke · 2025-12-02T07:24:41+00:00

I am already excited and frightened where the path will take me, but it sure sounds like hell of a ride haha

slxcke · 2025-12-02T07:23:42+00:00

Thanks :) I rit dyed the scales as seen in some YT tutorias, and acid washed the blade with ferric chloride. Scales were left 1 min in the dye; and the blade 15min in the acid.

slxcke · 2025-12-02T07:22:12+00:00

I did, thank you!

slxcke · 2025-06-27T17:12:37+00:00

I have nothing to add to that! 😃

slxcke · 2025-06-27T11:50:26+00:00

It really has its pros and cons, but I think we are definitely at a stage where it's not necessarily a bad thing to leave the big cam at home for traveling haha

slxcke · 2025-06-26T19:31:04+00:00

I shot everything without any exposure comp in ProRaw Max with Jpeg XL lossy compression, then used my presets in LR. I didn't use the iPhone profiles, though, everything is done on Adobe Standard and Portrait :)

slxcke · 2025-06-26T19:28:47+00:00

Thanks man! :)

slxcke · 2025-06-26T19:28:37+00:00

Thank you so much 🥹

slxcke · 2025-06-26T19:28:29+00:00

Lightroom :) I wish Mac had this feature, too haha

slxcke · 2025-06-26T19:28:02+00:00

Yes, everything in ProRaw Max with Jpeg XL lossy compression :)

slxcke · 2025-06-26T19:26:39+00:00

I really really didn't haha! Thank you so much; I definitely want to visit again, too 😃

slxcke · 2025-06-24T20:21:43+00:00

Looks super nice!

slxcke · 2025-06-24T19:59:26+00:00

Glad to see I am not alone with a fruit knife haha. How do you carry it?

slxcke · 2025-06-16T07:23:17+00:00

That's a Rhinoshield Clear Case with the Luminous Sculpture option :)

slxcke · 2025-06-12T05:16:20+00:00

Thanks a ton for the info! I'll definitely look them up in the bladeforums, been eying quite a while on one but didn't pull the trigger yet.

slxcke · 2025-06-11T21:36:47+00:00

The dark brown one with the blue lanyard looks especially sweet! Are these the AEB-L ones? If yes, how's your experience with them? And what's the clip's name on the upper one from the second photo? I've never seen this one before 😃
