Spyderco Forums

https://youtu.be/To6HZDHrPvM I sent a Paysan in due to lock issues 3.5 years ago, and I finally received my replacement. This newly produced "CQI" model has the most sever lock stick I've seen on any knife (sometimes requires 2 hands to close). Spyderco continues to fail at making frame l...

Completed the 1000 challenge. No lock stick and no issue with the lock bar insert with an asterisk. The lock up is about 65%. Completely solid, no side to side. I figured out some things though. The lock bar insert in mine at least is at a slight angle to the lock face and not parallel. What I figu...

What Spyderco frame locks have you had good luck with? I want a McBee so bad; they’re adorably ridiculous. Any experience with them? I have a McBee, it's fine and really well-done but I rarely carry it. Not because I dislike the model or there's issues with it, I prefer the Manbugs in the tiny size...

Of course, and thanks for support. I’m at about 600 cyclings. It’s finally starting to feel better, and I’m going to take it to 1,000 (Fireman has been such a trooper, I have to do this 1k challenge with him lol),then I’ll send it in. It’s becoming much more apparent where the issue lies as it’s sl...

Hi Perhaps_OCD, Thanx much for continuing the conversation with more patience. Appreciate. Our mutual goal is to get you what you want so you are pleased. If the knife is not yet smooth, Please send it into Spyderco with attn: Charlynn. She heads up our Repair department and I usually work closely ...

So why didn't you request a refund? 30 day return policy from time of receiving the item? Second paragraph in the post above you He could have received a full refund had he returned it within 30 days of receiving the knife but he didn't do that. Why? Maybe he didn't want a refund. This is a desirea...

Apologies if I missed it, but why on earth did it take over three years for a replacement to get sent out? I mean, I would have been in communications with them after only a month or so, and been increasingly persistent after that point. That part makes little sense to me. Was there some sort of ag...

I’ve been beating pretty hard on a PM2 micarta cruwear for a little over a year. Borderline abuse. It’s been great.

People need to be less lazy. Years ago when i got my Nirvana it also had lockstick. I cleaned it out played allot with it and it went buttery smooth... Try first, if you did that and after a reasonable amount of effort its still very very bad then seek help. If that go's nowhere then complain all y...

This has a lock-bar insert, doesn’t it? I guess that means this isn’t a Ti / steel galling issue! The only RIL knives I have are a Brouwer & a Domino. Both have inserts, neither stick. Being a flipper, the Domino deploys at speed and locks with authority. Does the weight of the Paysan blade sim...

I was tempted to do the same because I am a tinkerer at heart but for the sake of the 1000 challenge, I will leave it alone. My guess is it is just a slight burr but a S90V slight burr will take some time to smooth out with action wear. I whacked the spine a bunch of times to test the knife for loc...

“Inspired”by the thread yesterday, I decided to try my efforts to move this thread forward in a positive way. I decided to to the 1000 cycling of opening the Paysan challenge, as it were. I counted 300 openings of the Paysan today and with yesterday, it’s probably around 350 actual openings overall...

Is this someone trying to become a monetized Youtube channel?

Still had my stuff setup in the living room from the first. Figured it was worth 6 minutes. I don't know much about youtube but I doubt knives are where the money is at. This is a super niche hobby.

Positive video for you guys / gals.

It's a beautiful design that looks to be a well-executed interpretation, it's a bummer the lock is not as smooth as expected and I personally hoped for a more aesthetic clip. I'm looking forward to user pictures and intended no serious offence (just putting some tension on the conversation) I can a...

I'd like to say a few things about the knife that WOW me. The more I play with it, the more I'm impressed by several aspects (outside of the lock, which is not "breaking in"). 1.) The blasted THEN polished blade is amazing. I've been around exotic finishes with guns, knives, and cars. I've...

Where did DLT Trading say that all of their Paysans in this latest run had lock stick? I’d like to see what all they said. Mine came in from them yesterday and, while I haven’t played with it much yet, I didn’t notice anything particularly unusual. Honestly, I’d prefer a bit of lock stick over the ...

A surprising number of those who have responded seem to not be able to separate the message from the messenger. It's an important life skill. Attacking the messenger does not change the message. Shunning a narcissist is perfectly reasonable wherever, as here, the medium is the message. If the topic...
