Re: Spyderco Rebrand Concept

Not for me. First impression is some sort of tribal tattoo. That definitely would put me off buying. Looks cheap to me, I'm sorry.

Re: So what's your top 3 favorite steels? and why?

Well, any steel can easily be bad, always boils down to the heat treat first and foremost and then it's all grind and edge geometry... I've seen so many spoiled "supersteel" knives lately, but I'm amazed by Manly's 1.2379 right now. For what it costs, my Comrade is outduelling pretty much ...

Spydiechef weak detent

Hey guys,
how strong is the detent on your Spydiechef...?

On mine it is borderline weak, I can shake out the blade with no effort whatsoever, even right against gravity... kinda bugs me :(

Re: Native Chief in CRUWEAR???

Cruwear sounds about right. Green canvas micarta scales even sound more right...

Oh, and ball bearing lock or the button version of the compression lock please, thank you very much ;)

Kapara CQI

So the Kapara even got better:

https://youtu.be/xECQ1_ySisM

This raises questions:

- which serials will have the upgraded version?
- can we hope for pivot bushings on other knives, too?
- when we gonna see the overdue LC200 Kapara?

:rolleyes:

Re: I just cut myself...

Like I said, I didn't cut myself while fidgeting , I cut myself while holding the closed knife... Just ckecked. When I run my finger along the back of the knife a little part gets between the scales and I can feel the edge, right behind the stop pin. If I apply some pressure I'm gonna cut myself... ...

Re: I just cut myself...

No idea... was watching something on YT, fidgeting... had to click on something so I held it in my left hand, closed... then I noticed it hurts, looked, et voila... blood - small clean cut on my left index finger.

Not really bad, stopped bleedin after 1 min... but it was closed :confused:

Re: Spydiechef (lc200n) performance thread.

Hm. Sorry for kinda necrothreading this...

Doesn't a regrind like this change the flicking action noticably? You're taking away mass from the end of the blade so it might, I guess.
I really like the looks of it and would consider going the same route if it didn't change the action...

Spydiechef handle finish

Does anyone know how Spyderco achieves the finish on the Spydiechef handle? Is it just some kind of acid etch over a stonewash? Ferric chloride maybe?

I'm really liking it and would consider trying something similar on other titanium scale knives if I knew how...

I’ll keep it simple.

VG10 Delica4.

Three iterations of improvement on the inspired original for less than US$80.00. The biggest BANG!


Now scientifically proven: https://youtu.be/GIhOvFnTV-Q :D
