My Native 5 has arrived and it's a beauty. Here's the whole family (that I have. Maybe there's some I'm missing?)

Mail sent!

Update: I'm in! I'm #33. I will see you all in Amsterdam!

Mine just showed up, my first Native 5. Fedex mangled the box, but the knife is just fine, sharp and centered.

She's a beauty. I get mine soon... getting to france takes a bit more time. I'll post a family photo once it arrives.

I’ve now received trusted vouches for Cyclaire.

seems like if it were affiliated (officially, legally) with Spyderco, there would be a link to it from the spyderco website.

If not, they may still be "reputable", but I think not "official".

I definitely want to go to this.

It is certainly not a recommandation but when the feels too light for my taste (GB2, Domino, Dice, Spydieched), i enlarge the detent hole in the blade.

I do it by hand with a micro hand drill and carbide bit ranging from 1.1 to 2.1mm. Just need to find the original diameter of the hole and go ...

Sounds like it just needs some breaking in.

Beautiful knife.



Give it a couple drops of oil.



Tried breaking it in a bit more, tried more oil last night as well. flipped it a ton more, got frustrated. Today I disassembled it, cleaned it well, reapplied oil, reassembled it, little to no ...

I'd love to see some comparison pics of the Techno 3. Chaparral, Delica, Para 3, any of the common models in that general size range. Bonus points for a Vrango, though!

I'm also curious about the handle thickness, it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere.


I don't have the chap or delica, but here ...

I'll give it a shot.

Edited to add: it may have helped a tiny bit but not quite enough. It's still hard to get the flipper to hit hard enough to open all the way.

I finally got one, and while I love, love, LOVE the design, I feel the execution or QC lacks a bit (I'm not sure which tbh) - mine has anemic flipping action as well, like someone else mentioned earlier. I'm kinda bummed about it, although it doesn't really impact its performance. It's a cutting ...

Have a look at The Deacon's Spydiewiki ( http://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?title=SKU ). Just to keep the record straight, Spydiewiki is a wonderful resource, but I'm only one of the many contributors there, and a relatively minor one at that.

Another group of letters on boxes for Spyderco ...

Is this IRC channel still alive?

Dear jasong™:

Thank you very much for the article link.
Thanks again for sharing that link.

Stay safe,

Mike

I had been wanting one for years and the moment I moved out of the USA, I bought one. I carried it today. I love mine. Thank YOU!

I added this manix 2 to my collection of Avocado Spydercos today.

There's more (way worse) where that came from!

Got myself some D2 socks! They’re tough as nails, but not so great in the wash—they tend to rust my patience.

Carried the Janisong today

Well that is just what we need around here. Terrible jokes. You sir will fit right in! Seriously though, keep an eye out for your handbook in the mail. I have heard from a good source that the french mail checkers have it in for us and like to steal copies of our handbook for helping to refine ...
