Spyderco Forums

Thank everyone for the help :) Found a local store and they unscrew the stripped screw and replace all clip screws for a small fee, so I'm fine now (but it took a lot of time, so I'm even was a little nervous because they even asked me if I have fake or real Para 3, so I started to worry, if there a...

Good day, and sorry for the question. Tried to switch the clip on my Para 3, and when I screwed everything like I wanted to, I stripped the screw and can't unscrew it now. I think I can just use the file and try the flathead driver to remove it, but I guess I will need the new one after that. In my ...

Ordered myself the regular Para 3 with black G10 scales, will modify it eventually with deep carry clip and maybe titanium screws etc. When I finally got it in hand, it's just clicked. So, in a 2-3 days I will get my own. Can't wait. Thanks for reporting back! Enjoy it! (And be prepared: More Spydi...

I've waiting for a Native 5 FRN Pink in my store (they should get it to me in a week or so), is S30V worth it?

I made a screenshot, but I dunno, can I post just a picture with it, so just follow the link: https://imgur.com/a/69j85x8

OK, I spent some time in the shops, so here's impressions: - Chaparral - too small for my hand, I have not so big of a hand, but sausage-fingers, so Chap uncomfortable for my standart grip at all :( and too light, almost like my son's toys - Para 3 LW - the blade in the shop was soooo off-centered, ...

Congratulations! Great contest :)

"SE" stands for serrated indeed.. And what do you mean by "you don´t get serrated blades"? Did you ever really try a spyderedged knife (so a serrated SPYDERCO knife, ideally in full flat grind)? For me it works better in most tasks than a plain edge. And if you know how (and hav...

I don't get serrated blades (if SE stands for "serrated").

Thank you! :)

Since I don't really have an option to go for the store and pick a knife (nearest one in 300km away from me, and the stock is limited as ****), I want to know - is there a possibility to get a knife from an international online retailer and receive some replica or a clone, but not a Para 3 LW? Thank...

does sanding affect the looks of the plastic itself?

I think the Product Catalog is for the information - for me, as a newbee who are not even decided yet what Spyderco knife I want to carry, it's a great thing. For a fan, it's just an usefull information guide about blade shapes, measurements etc. It's great, that we got a NEW stuff in a separate cat...

Ah, yes, I think the para3 lw has a single washer, so they're often a bit off-center. I haven't taken apart the m390 one, though. Niw I'm curious to see if it has a thicker washer than the others, which might explain the more extreme off-centering. A project for another day... even if it is thick -...

Thank you. First one is fine for me, but the M390 is kinda creepy :) but the color is sooooo gorgeus!

Yep, the blades are off center in both the para3 lw's that I have. But they function perfectly. I understand being OCD about these things and not liking the asymmetry, but it doesn't ever seem to affect functioning in this knife.

Can you get a picture for me, if it's not a problem? :)

And in the end: You can´t go wrong with most Spydercos anyway ;) I found out that in the local store not too far from me they have a regular Para 3, Yojimbo 2, Delica and Chap, so I'll go and check them on tuesday, to get the size and feel, to really understand what I need. I realized that I love t...

Very important for a larger knives, I suppose. When you need to cut through something big, the last thing you want is a lock failure.

Congrats! Great gift!
