Hello, I'm a new member and found this site via Google. I'm a Spyderco fan starting with the Wayne Goddard Jr., and currently have a Chokwe and a Sage Titanium. My only problem is I'm left handed,…Continue

Jazz1 commented on Mike Smith's blog post Spyderco Lum Tanto and Masaad Ayoob Sprint Runs"Can anyone comment on the build quality? I think the design looks great. Could a lefty use this knife?"
Jazz1 replied to Liveitloud's discussion Caly 3.5 Wooooooooooooooot"I just got the Caly 3.5 as I've been looking for a more modern replacement for my Wayne Goddard Jr. black scaled Spyderco. I think the Caly 3.5 is a nice. It may become my EDC over the Sage Titanium as it is lighter than my Goddard Jr.…"
Jazz1 replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Well I hope the group doesn't think I'm flogging this topic too long. However, I did pick up a Lum CF from the Spydie shop and it is a beauty! The basket weave design pattern of CF scales are unique as many of you already know. The light…"
Jazz1 replied to Adam Sage's discussion Which Spyderco knife started your addiction..?"I know this is an old thread, but as a new member here I thought I'd give it a go. My first Spyderco was a Wayne Goddard Jr. with black scales. I wish I would have purchased a full size one. Unfortunately it has gotten harder to open over the…"
Mike Smith replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"
Let me know you need another Caly 3.5 even if its not on my store i can still get everything. Glad he liked it."
Jazz1 replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Thanks. I did get a Lum and you are correct, it is an easy opener. My Sage 2 is getting better with use and a little Breakfree CLP has helped things along. BTW my SAS retired brother-in-law loved the Caly 3.5 I sent him. I may have to pick up…"
Caleb replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"This is wayyy late but +1 on the Lum suggestion.
Probably the smoothest opener I've tried."
Jazz1 replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Just a follow-up. The Caly 3.5 came today. You are right the lock back is a little harder to open, but overall size speaks to me. However, the spouse is calling for a B-Day gift for my brother-in-law. I just may send it to him. As a former SAS guy I…"
Jazz1 replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Nice call on the Lum. It came today. Very easy to open. Can one be in love with a knife? ;) The broad blade sure makes it look bigger/longer. The only thing I'd like to see different is a wire clip. Maybe that is a no go on such a beautiful…"
Adam Sage replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Anytime, I'm always willing to help another Spyderco fan!"
Adam Sage replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Ya, I kinda over looked the Lum, I have a Ti one and not the new CF one but the specs are very similar, and yes it does open in the same range as the others I mentioned. I dont have the Sage 3 yet, But I do have 1 and 2 and they are…"
Mike Smith replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Lum was going to be my first choice. Didn't see this post till just now and glad you picked one up. I think the Sage3 could be decent but still the Lum feels awesome and opens excellent."
Jazz1 replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Well this is interesting. Putting the Left Handed Military and the Chokwe side by side I'm seeing that the Military is moderately larger in the handle and blade, by my hand the Military is heavier. I'm not comparing spec to spec.…"
Jazz1 replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Wow, thanks for going to all that research. I appreciate it! I guess I should try and get my hands on the Para-Military. I do have a Caly 3.5 and a Lum on the way, in addition to the lefty Military. I guess I can always return, sell or…"
Adam Sage replied to Jazz1's discussion Smooth Opener Needed"Hey Man,
After reading your post I went and opened most of my Spyderco knives (around 40) to see what actually did open the easiest. I found that the Para-Milli, Manix 2 and PPT all seemed to be the smoothest and had very little drag or…"
