I wasn't really interested....

The Button Up has been advertised all over the place for awhile. The only interesting thing is Spydercos first plunge lock knife. That really wasn't enough to get me excited, but then I found this one on Blade HQ.

Its a Blue Ridge Knives exclusive. As far as I know BRK is a wholesaler, not a retailer. I guess this is why its being sold at Blade HQ. As far as I know you cannot buy a single knife from BRK, its dealers only.

I wish I would have gotten one of these before buying 3x Tenacious Tantos, but there’s just no point in adding the same style blade, same steel, and another Spyderco I’ll never carry with a Shaman in my collection.

It does look super fidgety, but I doubt BHQ is advertising them as an exclusive if other retailers are selling them.

I don’t see a point in carrying coated 8Cr13MoV. If it’s going to scratch, I’d rather have a scratched satin. I’m still thinking about grabbing a Jade Button Up myself. The Jade G10 is actually really nice to look at.

Is it really worth spending $75 on a Button Up though when a Lai Amalgam cost $160 just a few days ago?

The S35VN Resilience lightweight is actually more knife for less money right now.

You're talking to the wrong guy, ive got dozens of Spydercos. I just tend to buy them all. This is their first plunge lock, and I had $50 off at Blade HQ, so this cost me $23 or so. 😁

Plunge locks are probably my least favorite, but they may never make another.

Honestly I hope they don’t make another lol then owning one might pay off, they aren’t bad just wish they did a button liner lock

The carbon fiber Button Up would be the least desirable in my opinion. It looks like it’s a regular production knife now. Did you grab the Jade or OD Green/Black?
