Spyderco Forums

Agreed bleasure, it's not something our body expects to be in there. I've had issues absorbing nutrients as it is (one reason I'm not a vegetarian, in spite of the screen name), so it just seems like a bad idea to lubricate my digestive system even a tiny bit. I'll probably try the Clark's product o...

You never know what the next Slysz Bowie could be. Did the Slysz Bowie become a cult favorite after discontinuation? (I'm still learning about Spyderco!) I'm not a collector, but the secondary market does introduce an odd dynamic. I bought one of the M4 PM2 exclusives from SMKW... it's not really f...

Thank you Sharp Guy and phaust, that's reassuring.

How does Spyderco handle warranty repairs for discontinued models (Especially since they can't replace a discontinued knife with a new one, should the issue be unrepairable)? I'm considering getting a Brouwer, but just wondering if there's any added risk to purchasing a discontinued model. Any insig...

Has anyone tried fractionated coconut oil to protect knives (or cutting boards, which it's primarily used for)? This is coconut oil that has been further refined, to prevent rancidity (and is liquid at room temperature, similar to MCT oil). As one example, see Clark's Cutting Board Oil on Amazon. It...

It seems like most of the interest in Magnacut is due to it being tougher than steels like s30v (which I take to mean more chip-resistant). But this draws attention to the fact that Magnacut is also significantly more corrosion resistant, which is a great quality for pocket knives in general (it wou...

Spyderhawk... there's no decent working hawkbills being made by anyone in the size.

-snip- But as a just in case (emergency) tool in a very light and small pack the Spydersaw would be pretty much ideal. Weighs next to nothing, but offers a much longer saw blade than any multitool I am aware of. For under 6oz one could bring a Spydersaw/Pac Salt pair (or instead of the latter a lig...

I'll have to try it with cardboard! The Byrd hawkbill is already my favorite knife, thanks to utility in the garden and it's nice precise tip. Upgrading with the Meadowlark's titanium scales, it looks really nice as well.

White Mountain Knives dropped the price on the Brouwer. You can also use coupon LTK for an additional 10% off. Yesterday at 1:35pm PT, I asked Justin of WMK to drop the price of the Brouwer since it was discontinued. To his credit he did in less than hour! $153 is a lot better than $189 and it ship...

I was lucky to grab one of these... I've been wanting a "tough steel" lil Native to put titanium scales on. Thanks for the heads-up!

Congrats on the mod Kale! A bit delayed in reply from getting back into town and dealing with BIOS issues on computer. Not sure if this info may help, there are Delica 4 pivot screw with pivot screw shaft replacements in the aftermarket. I did some quick checking and the Delica 4 pivot screws will ...

Not only is there nothing like this in the Spyderco catalogue, there's nothing like this on the market. The closest I can find is halfway between the size of the Tasman and the Spyderhawk and significantly heavier. I've yet to get my hands on one, but the Spyderhawk looks like it would be great on ...

Are these still expected to be released soon?

Oloung, thanks for all the helpful info. The swap went well, although there's a bit of play at the tip (when closed). It seems like I can't quite get the pivot screw tight enough (and I did manage to strip it... I don't imagine those are replaceable?). In any case, it's good enough to use and it loo...

I have a Meadowlark but haven't put an aftermarket clip on yet. I have added the generic Delica $10-12 ebay style deep carry clips on my Cara Cara 2s and Robin with ok results. I would think the C11 type clips should fit the Hawkbill too. But the fit and finish on the generic TI c11 clips are reall...

I noticed that PeaceInOurTime mentioned on another thread doing a blade swap with a Titanium Meadowlark. So that answers my question on that. I just ordered a Ti Meadowlark off Ebay... I've already got the Robin 2 in Titanium, so I can tell it's going to be a really nice upgrade for the hawkbill. I'...

I keep returning to the Byrd Hawkbill as my most practical all-around edc. So I'm looking at what I might do to upgrade... The frn scales are great, but I'd like to upgrade (either with a different material or different color). Will scales from the Meadowlark 2 work with the Hawkbill blade? Any afte...

I'd take larger, but I'd settle for the original Spyderhawk for work on the farm. I'm kicking myself for not jumping on a sub-$200 Spyderhawk over the winter. There's nothing comparable to that currently on the market. So for now I use the Byrd Hawkbill and the Byrd Cara Cara Rescue. The safety tip ...
