Spyderco Forums

Y'know a really neat feature of this knife that isn't part of many Spyderco's is the swedge. It's not super noticeable, or even necessary. But little details like this indicate that the designer wanted to spend an extra five minutes just to make the knife extra cool.

Is this picture accurate on how the color looks?

Color variation on computer displays varies wildly.
What I'm looking at on my displays can be completely
different from what you see on yours.

Short answer, it's a "finished" fixed blade. There is extensive history about the Mule Team here on the forum. It's a very unique project. Thank, TK. Sounds like a fun project. I know you wouldn't be asking the questions if there wasn't already something brewing in your mind. I'm excited to see wha...

While I have exactly ZERO experience with a straight razor, but I've been using a Double Edge for many years. When I travel, I'll still bring one of those cartridge razors and a can of aerosol shaving cream. It's truly awful to go back. It's like applying paint remover to my face, and then scraping ...

In 1981 I bought a Security Six in stainless steel for my petite daughter. My recollection is that I chose it because it was the smallest revolver available for the 357 and she did not to want a semi-auto. The price was very reasonable at that time. I think she still has it. What a coincidence. Jus...

I never use the Sharpmaker base itself because I never hit the apex on either setting. I always thought they were supposedly ground to hit the apex at the 40 degree setting though?

Tell us more, Rick.
I've been tossing around some ideas about using Sharpmaker stones on another guided system.

For the money, does anyone recommend anything better? "Better?" That's a pretty open ended question. Rest assured, the Security 9 is a good pistol, and the price is fair. 9mm is probably the best all-around defensive cartridge today, and is also the most economical to shoot. Handling a gun is a ser...

I'm new here. Does Spyderco have any interest in tungsten carbide knives? I'm no metallurgist, so this is a serious question. When looking at the recipes for the steel in some of my blades, many contain tungsten. That's fine. Are the blades you're talking about a solid chunk of tungsten carbide? Ar...

1) Purchase a serrated Spyderco. I would suggest a Delica or Endela full flat serrated. 2) Purchase a full Sharpmaker set, watch the video and use the Sharpmaker as I show on the video. Just using the stones without the system has some issues. Using just the small triangles that Halfneck was referr...

"The goal in life is to be as consistent as the sun, and transparent like the air".

Yup.

When you say the pivot is simple, do you think these guys don't have washers? That is correct. There are no washers. What's fascinating is that this FRCP stuff can work as a bearing surface, it's stiff enough to form the frame of the knife, it cleans up nicely, it doesn't show wear, and it's light.

What serrated knives do you own? The ones I care about: 1. A left handed Ernest Emerson designed CQC7 in ATS34 made by Benchmade, half serrated. After Rogue Warrior came out, it just made sense to have one. I carried this for a lot of years and it's a good knife. 2. A Mike Snoddy designed auto in 1...

Thanks, Ken. I like mine, as well. I haven't carried it much yet, as it's my weekend or dress knife. So far it's only been used it for menial tasks like opening the mail and slicing garlic. The most noteworthy feature, and the reason I bought the knife, is the handy size. It's small and light, but s...

In my opinion, a serrated Spyderco, sharpened a few times with a Sharpmaker is the best performing serrated edge on the market. Dude. You're killing me. I have serrated knives. I don't like serrated knives. I don't want another serrated knife. But oddly, I'm strangely intrigued. I'm gonna have to t...

Three blades with three Spydie Holes each, for NINE TIMES the slicey goodness.

That's a pretty good sized EQ.
Hope you're all good.

Maybe... Just maybe... the next batch of Sprints will be all Left Handers!!! We have to BELIEVE!

But I agree that a LH Para 3 would be cool. But to get me to click "buy," would require above-average steel.

It looks like the Manix 2 gives a lot more bang the the buck but don't know. I like the fact that the Manix 2 has a liner, a form of bearing (I do get that it is not a true bearing system, and G10 grips. I like that the Native 5 comes in S35VN and prefer the locking mechanism, and weight. I also li...

Make Spyderco the only source for the initial purchase of any sprint run knives. I suspect that retailers use the Sprints as an advertising tool to rope in future customers. For example, I recently bagged two Sprints from Smokey Mountain and from St. Cloud. I got what I want, had a good experience,...

My mailman doesn't show up until 5 p.m. - 6 p.m.
Sigh.
