Spyderco Forums

Just wanted to bump this again... I know it’s an old thread, but I really want a native 5 AND really hate back locks. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I know many on this forum love back locks and I’m not complaining that the original version uses one, but a comp lock or ball bearing lock version woul...

i am so in for this one. i have wanted to try k390. just one question is k390 just a non stainless m390.

Based on everything I’ve seen online as well as my fairly limited use (I’ve carried the k390 a bit and touched it up but haven’t fully resharpened it), it seems to perform far better.

I hate when people announce knives I already wanted and then I have to spend money

I'm sure a mantra 4 would have s30v and peel ply.. that being said I hope they do the bushing pivot and no recurve!

Stop you’re giving me anxiety -twitch-

For real. I love how much attention the Mantra 2 is getting lately because I’m really, really hoping for an updated version in the future. It was a great knife to begin with and would be even better with improved washers and maybe even a solid CF show side.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and new to Spyderco knives in general. Earlier this year I purchased a Sage 5 and immediately knew it was a solid knife. 4 months later under light use the carbon fiber scale on the non-lock side began to peel off pretty severly, about 1/16" in the groove behind the...

It is my understanding that the knife is actual Rosewood.

Very concerned about how the CITES treaty applies to steel types, can you confirm or deny that it’ll be Rex 45?

.... FYI, I'm working on a new design based on a modified Shaman pattern so I pulled out all of the original drawings. The first drawing of the Shaman was dated December 17, 2014. That can give you an idea of how long I work on some of these creations. sal I wonder what this might be-- maybe a back...

A denim Micarta, S30V.... and backlock Shaman would be an instant buy for me! ;) (Honestly, and not intending to derail this thread, I think the Shaman is such a great model especially ergonomicwise, that there would be a market for both a comp lock and a backlock version,for those are the two most...

Tape a piece of sandpaper to a counter or work bench and grind the spine down until your tip is pointy again. I’ve done it many, many times. I was gonna suggest doing this on a stone (I’ve done it a whole bunch), but I like the idea of using sandpaper since it’s more disposable and you won’t have t...

Honestly this adhesive is on some kind of steroids, rubbing alcohol is my go-to and it hasn’t worked at all for this! Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll give acetone a try. Not sure about availability in the US but Eucalyptus Oil dissolve any adhesive reside on contact. :) Good to know! Pretty sure I...

Genuinely surprised how much hate my favorite steel is getting! I’d be intrigued but any recurve is a no-go for me since I sharpen on stones, not rods. I actually really enjoy the design, though... it’s got tons of personality, and there’s definitely nothing like it in my collection. Plus the ball b...

I think it’s probably an issue of not being able to please us all - since they reduced their loctite from what they used to do, this’ll probably happen on very rare occasion.

Been kicking myself ever since I just barely missed a chance to get one for $300 from ApostleP.

A sprint run or a revival of the model would be awesome for fans/users and would be a well-deserved kick in the nuts for folks who sell a $300 for $600 on the secondary market.

Yikes! Very good to know. So I wonder if these can be sold internationally. Probably, since there are already multiple other knives made with rosewood handles and sold internationally. I think the bigger concern is as an individual traveling with it, depending on the country you’re visiting and how...

Wow, I hadn't heard about this. So I guess it applies to rosewood that's been treated/processed as well as to the raw wood? What's the issue - is there concern about pest or blight contamination or something? There have been horror stories of customs confiscating and destroying rosewood guitars, ev...

Oof, I was aware of this issue as a musician but I totally hadn’t connected the dots to apply it to rosewood knives. This is a really good question.

Folding knife. Need something to kick the K390 Police 4 out of my pocket. I read over the entire thread about a week ago, but I don’t recall whether this was stated or I just assumed - can anyone with a better memory than my own remind me whether this will be a folder or a fixed blade, so that I do...

I read over the entire thread about a week ago, but I don’t recall whether this was stated or I just assumed - can anyone with a better memory than my own remind me whether this will be a folder or a fixed blade, so that I don’t have to read through the entire thing again?
