our credit card can rest easy, it's all sold out! The Tropen was a great knife and we look at the details here. But it had a cool quirk, some call it "dangerous" that will make it more valuable in the marketplace. So does the Amalgam, below, which has even better elements and is a functional combat folder.

Love KRVs. Thanks Nutn!!

Brad Fegan

I agree with you it is interestin design, for sure. If I was to get it would I ever carry it........no. besides, I just bought my first Microtech OTF.

Spenser Weese

I like the blade shape and scales. That’s about it for me.

David Goodridge

It looks interesting. But Hum, it’s valve could go up. If it survives the class action lawsuit after some tight pants east coast dude cuts himself. Or after China takes Taiwan and the Spyderco factory turns into a female urinal maker for the Navy. Just kidding

I can’t spend money on a knife unless I love it or it’s just a great value with first cool capability. I just can’t get into collecting or trading. Having said that, if I did either I’d gobble a couple up and I think Nutn is on point with his prediction.

Always in for a KRV, thanks Nutn. In the family of Sypdeco's slightly ugly daughters, the Tropen was voted "most likely to be described as having a great personality"... Only way I would buy one would be if it poops a new $ 100 bill every day

Can you just link Patreon video to ugetube instead of YouTube if you want people to go there?

Jacob Hurst

I think it will sell good because it’s something besides the PM2. People who are brand loyal will want it

The Amalgam hasn’t been discontinued. It’s in the 2022 catalog. Still an opportunity to grab the blade if interested, Although Taichung produced Spyderco’s have gone in 18% in price this year. More than Golden’s 10% price increase. Inflation sucks.

I was one of the bone heads that kept screaming "M1 Abrams!" at my laptop when you were asking what kind of tank that was. Needless to say, I was NOT in a tank battalion when I was in the Corps.

Uhh...? I’m thikin’... Tropen = Butt Ugly.

It is cool. But if I got a compression lock I want to be able to wail that thing back and forth, the fidget factor of compression locks is a big part of the charm for me. Also the way the handles are smoothed out with that basic hardware it 100% looks like an Aliexpress knock off to me. The shape is cool though. Wish you would have shown it being deployed from the pocket.

Thanks for all the hardwork you constantly do nutn! More moto stuff please! I am a teacher in NM, watching you since I was 14, going to do the continental divide this summer, its on my bucket list to ride or shoot with you one day.

Jason Boyles

This one is a huge no for me dawg. I don't like anything about this one.

Jordan Parker

The Tropen is interesting, but I'm not sure it's for me. On the other hand, the Manix 2 Lightweight is my favorite EDC blade, glad to see it make an appearance!

Jesse (Sphinx)

I started buying just about every model of spyderco there is with the compression lock. It's my favorite lock and they have a lot of knives with it--including one of my very favorites, the Amalgam. I don't have the Tropen or the Shaman, but I might pick this one up. I have a local dealer with one in stock, I'm pretty sure.

I was thinking about that bucket list activity today.

My interest peaked up when you said it was a 4” blade. Finishing on the handle looks nice. No desire to add this to the collection though. A bit too funky.

Amalgam looks pretty legit though. Flipper and compression lock sounds fun.

Nathan Simms aka Darkpriest

This knife just does not speak to me :( wish they had the flipper on all of their knives

Daniel Herb

Fancy curves on this one!
