Spyderco Forums

This was a strange one.. my iPhone is usually locked out from using company resources when I have a pending security update, but that didn't happen this time.

They do glow nicely and for a long time. I think this would be a good idea for a salt knife. They could be seen at depths where colors disappear. Of course, some fish are attracted to GITD.


Anyone who has ever dropped his knife at night would know how practical this would be. Many night ...

As for titanium boards - I actually thought this was an April fools joke that had overrun.


I too was surprised to see this was even a thing, but jumping into the thread to learn that there's even cutting boards made from glass was just mind boggling.

I think my next business venture will be to ...

I do in no way mean this in an insulting way Dan, but your comment just reminded me about the ridiculous ...

bamboo are the healthiest



Bamboo you think? I always wondered what they laminate the bamboo together with and whether it ends up being a little like plastic in the end. I don't really know how that works out.


All my cutting boards are laminated to some degree, probably a cost cutting ...

PM2 Skinny Lockback (like the linerless Manix2 Lockback, but with thinner stock and handles than the current PM2)


Kind of like a linerless, G-10, Stretch 2 straight spine. Or even thinner? I'd definitely be in for that.

C22 Michael Walker Sprint Run in CF with a wireclip as mentioned by ...

Thank you for posting the comparison Rival22

The DF2 has grown on me to become my primary EDC, but it was far from love at first sight.
I do share your thoughts on the G10 Lil’Native though. It’s too chunky in pocket, so it never gets carried.
I like the pattern though, so I will try the LW when ...

Here's some comparison pics with my still unused factory second ARK.
The ARK is also slightly smaller than I'd prefer, but longer and slimmer is somewhat preferable over even shorter and slightly thicker IMO. I also imagine it in a role as a secondary hunting/fishing knife for cuts that my ...

Very pleased to see so much engagement on this topic. Thanks!

I've mentioned before that the secondary knife market here in Norway isn't the most exciting, but against all odds a search for AFCK yielded exactly one relevant hit. A first gen, full size AFCK with combo edge ATS 34 blade that's ...

I can't really answer many of your questions, but I can and will take comparison pictures so you can see the handles of the ARK and Subway Bowie side by side. Don't have a Streat Beat (yet).

From what little I've used my Subway Bowie, I can't remember sheath retention being an issue.

My overall ...

Get the right tool for the job, a stainless steel knife has serious advantages in such scenarios.


Not what you asked, but what Vivi and Stirmos replied really is the answer.

I had a hard time appreciating carbon steels myself, as they would develop rust very quickly even when only exposed to ...

Wharncliffe Wednesday : Equilibrium from 2014.


Yet another Spyderco I can't recall having seen before. Very cool!
My slight OCD for blade/edge to handle ratio is having seizure from seeing such a short edge, but can't deny the design is different and interesting - I'll recover ...

Found an interesting thread where Sal himself chimes in with what he remembers regarding being approached by Caracci for the production of the AFCK.

This genuinely appear to have been a clean process without bad blood or hurt feelings.

I have a full-sized and a mini-AFCK. As well as a couple of TSEKs. If I can, I'll try to post a pic of them at some point. My AFCKs, which I got in the late '90s, have the round hole instead of the oval hole.

I remember many years ago, Chris Caracci used to have a sub-forum on BF, and had a ...

806D2 regrind to FFG with a little bit of swedge - very clean low-grit (because I'm cheap) job done by Josh at REK years ago.

That turned out very nice!
I prefer a functional/toolish esthetic, so I really do like it.


In the D2, PSF-27, CTS-XHP lineup ...

Have you read the "Shiny footprints" thread? There has been some friction in the past that is best left there. That said, here are a few tidbits I remember from over the years.

Thanks Yab, for shedding some light on the early history of Spyderco and the cooperation with Benchmade.

I do indeed ...

I struggle enough to get some grasp of Spyderco's history, so I generally don't even bother to look at older models from other companies.
Anyways.. a day or so ago I was looking at a knife review on YT, and the reviewer pulls up a AFCK for comparison and I was instantly intrigued. Now I don't even ...

I've always enjoyed music and equipment that can bring my music to life in a captivating way.
I'm still quite picky about my sound systems, but with a slightly different twist than it used to. Because of a hearing damage I now like to enjoy my music on a lower listening volume than in the old days ...
