Spyderco Forums

Ah, the legendary Spyderco Clothespeg!
Is that really a crocodile clip on the back?

Mine was off center for the longest time too, and perhaps you may improve your situation if you did what I did which was loosen all the screws, then tighten them starting with the 2 non pivot screws. Many thanks for the advice, youmakeme, I'll definitely give this a try as soon as I track down the ...

I think it's a less than stellar offering from Spyderco. Mine is as off centre as it could possibly be and I find black G10 utterly boring. I never use mine.

Fantastic to hear it from the man himself!
And fun to hear the background story about the name. Cheers!

There are times when a wide blade is a good thing - slicing food thinly, you might not want the sliced piece drooping down and sticking to the bit underneath.
But in this case I would guess the guiding principal behind the design is simply that it looks cool.

Colour blind people will never find the UKPK if they drop it in the grass...

Nice shot of some nice knives!

I'd pick a Meerkat for self defence cos I like a challenge.

I know it's nothing special but N690 is good enough for me! Sharpens easily, doesn't rust, and does what it's supposed to do.

I have a fixed blade made of Niolox (not a Spyderco) - the very first time I used it I chipped the edge. Right in the main part of the belly that does the most chopping. I don't think I'll ever try to fix it, I'd spend forever on it and lose about a mm of blade. Serves me right for trying to split b...

Wow -TWO!

Nice one, Zrows! You can see the joy in the faces of everyone in the Whitehouse!

And so it was that young Albatross was found dead under a pile of 467,000 Spydercos. Witnesses report a fleet of Hercules transport planes flew in from all over the world, disgorging tons of quality cutlery from a height of 5,000 feet. One witness recorded Mr Albatross's last words for posterity: "W...

I only have one Dragonfly, the stainless steel version, and I keep telling myself I don't need an FRN one as well.
We'll see how long my resolves lasts!

Awesome!

You'd think a pocket clip would be one of the simplest things in the universe to design - it's just a crooked piece of metal! - but it's proved to be the Achilles heel on so many knives! I suppose it's always the last thing anyone thinks about in the design process, and it ends up getting rushed.

Very nice!

That Hap40 Frankenstretch also caught my eye. Very nice!

Yes I didn't express myself very well there. Of course I was talking overall size to blade length ratio, which is just one of many factors. In the hand it is a lot more pleasant than the SpyFox, which is so narrow and tiny it's hard to hold, let alone control. The Meerkat is one of my absolute favou...

Looks like cork to me...
