Spyderco Forums

I too have always heard the theory that springs only wear by the act of compression and decompressing. But.... As someone who has had the springs in several Glock magazines have their springs give up the ghost after about 5 years of being stored fully loaded, I believe it is best to err or the side ...

I used to think I needed a large knife. Sometimes I did need one but it was seldom. Today, I usually carry two knives--a clipless Dragonfly and something larger. That "larger" knife is usually in the 3" blade or less range. Heavy use for my knives are cutting up 2-3 cardboard boxes. I...

I've messed around with knives for 60 years or more but I never tried to get them really sharp until I bought my first Spyderco knife along with a Triangle Sharpmaker nearly 30 years ago.
