Anybody have thoughts about the new sheath that dropped? I have a credit from the exchange to burn, just trying to figure out what to use it for.
I carry typically in the heritage leather sheath, so I’m a little nervous of the new one not having a snap enclosure- anybody have experience with that style and can comment? I do usually carry a light but just clipped onto a cargo pocket.
So I have a $77 credit from selling something on the exchange and I’m debating getting a Raptor Rescue- It would be entirely for personal use- I am not a first responder of any kind. My question is, do you think it’s a tool worth having for the average joe? Maybe to keep in the truck for emergencies, or are the scissors good enough to keep in my bag for times I just need a solid set of scissor (not necessarily for emergency type situations).
What are yalls thoughts?
If not the raptors, I’m thinking of maybe picking up the leatherman maintenance kit.
So my first ever Spyderco was given to me at 18 by my dad for Christmas, a Tenacious- carried it for years and eventually lost it, and replaced it with a variety of Tenacious, persistence, Ambitious, and resilience models in various blade styles (serrated, straight, partial).
I’d love to add another Spyderco for EDC, however I’ve never been a guy that can justify carrying a $100+ knife…I was wondering what you all would recommend for my next Spyderco that would fall closer to the $50 range outside of those I already have.
I also prefer the G-10 scales, but willing to try others, just not a huge fan of the FRN ones.
Thanks!
And after selling some duplicates, I have the Alpha, Signal, and a Skeletool CX on the way.
I am in the market for a lightweight serrated edge knife to pair with my new Leatherman Arc since that model doesn’t have a serrated blade on it.
I’m looking for something in the budget range like the Byrd series, sub $50 ideally. I’m torn between the rescue edge on some of the Byrd series blades or the traditional spyderedge.
This wouldn’t be for super heavy duty use, more for mild use occasionally.

20% teacher discount and taking advantage of the 110% exchange credit from last month! Got a few missing tools to my collection coming! Plus a new bit kit, love the new colors! Feels nice only have to pay like $20 out of pocket!
So I got my first ARC delivered today- prior to this i carried a P4 as my edc. I love the coating on the Talos, so much nicer in the hands than the P4. I love the magna cut blade, I love the bit exchanger. But I’m torn on the rest. I do kinda like having the larger file, but I also miss my serrated blade, though maybe I could mod one in place of the Saw which I never use.
I also don’t really love the small bit holder, and i miss the Awl on the P4 because the tip was great at being a small flat head screw driver…that being said i think the ARC awl is probably better at being an awl.
Anybody else wish Leatherman would let you customize scale colors and/or blade/tool coatings (black oxide) in the customization shop? At least choosing from options they already produce? For example I want to order an Alpha, and I love the orange “Canyonlands” scales, but I really prefer black oxide tools, which the “Obsidian” has.
I sure wish folks who purchased from the exchange would review/verify their purchases when they get them, instead of having to wait an extra 72 hours for auto-variation to get the payment. I’m dying to order the Alpha and Signal!
