Re: Seconds Sale, what are you hoping to snag?

Post some photos of the seconds pickups please. I'd love to know what "defects" are even noticeable.

Schuyler Arms (one of my go-to AR15 parts stores) has Wharnie versions of the Delica (serrated) and Endura (plain) for $45.
FYI the Delica 4 version of this is back in stock. I ordered a few more, great for EDC or stocking stuffer at this price!

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!

I’ve never seen a page with more plain edge models in my life :’(

Wish there were at least a few combo or serrated options. Feels like when IPA became all the rage and my selection of pilsners waned down to 1 or 2 types at the grocery store.

While I wasn't on the hunt for either of these, I ended up picking up one of each. Too good a deal to pass up. Thanks for the intel!

Re: Tools for Getting Started

Will echo what other people in this thread have said: a decent torx kit (T6 to T10 should have you covered as far as Spyderco knives go), a Sharpmaker, and reliable lubrication should cover the basics. Other things I've found to be very helpful over the years: Compressed air: Most knives won't requ...

Re: Tools for Getting Started

50% off is a great deal! Unfortunately I'm struggling to reach the minimum for free shipping. Before I learned of the Wiha sale I had already bought these two items from the other thread about torx wrenches: https://files.catbox.moe/86wib3.jpeg I guess I could try to cancel that order and reorder fr...

Re: Best torx wrench set

Has anyone ever tried this Wiha set? https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00BJ9J52A/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Im5LEbW272T18 I came across it when searching for the various great ideas in this thread. Not too many reviews of it on Amazon but virtually all of them are positive. I realize it costs a lot more than...

Re: Tools for Getting Started

Wow thanks for all the great suggestions here! I am digesting all this info and plan to make great use of it before my Amazon 20% amex deal expires this weekend. Discovering and following both "Crazy Good Deals" threads really grew my little collection of Spydercos and now it's time to ste...

Tools for Getting Started

Hi All, Please be gentle, I'm a n00b. I somehow found myself with a burgeoning little collection of Spydercos. I'd had a Native for many years without much thought about collecting, per se. It was a tool and when one broke I'd get another. Fast forward to today and I am enjoying my knives so much th...

Re: Trying to Use Spyderco Forum with VPN

Thank you for looking into this, Kristi. I will continue trying different servers when I use the forum. Is the "waiting for moderator approval" related to this or a different issue entirely, like I need to reach a certain number of posts or something to not have each submission moderated? ...

Re: Trying to Use Spyderco Forum with VPN

Hi again Kristi, I think I was just able to post a reply to this thread, pending moderator approval. However when I first tried it blocked me and said "Forbidden. Sender Blacklisted." So I changed VPN servers to a more obscure located one and tried again. First it logged me out, but when I...

Re: Trying to Use Spyderco Forum with VPN

Hi Kristi and thanks so much for replying. Well, something is definitely up because I think there's been maybe only one time I tried to post to the forum and DIDN'T get blocked because of the VPN. I totally agree too, what would a bad actor even do on the forums besides, I suppose, try to spam it wi...

Trying to Use Spyderco Forum with VPN

Hi All, I searched and found a couple old topics mentioning this but not discussing it specifically. I have a lot of trouble accessing the forum, or I should say posting to the forum specifically, because I connect to the internet using VPN. I'm not a spammer, hacker or other online bad actor. I'm j...

Re: Crazy deals @ Sierra and other places

+1 you guys just helped me grab a Native 5 Salt with full serration for $110. Maybe not the most screaming deal but I’m glad to break the seal and I’m sure I’ll keep on rolling :) that DLT site looks like a good company too. Thanks so much for the lead!

Wow, what a warm welcome, thank you all!! @JuPaul, I’m totally down with full serration! I’m an avid scuba diver, am on and around boats a whole lot. Serration just makes things so much easier imho. @Wartstein, I’ll have to check out the Endela. I was totally monogamous with the Native for many year...
