Spyderco Forums

Every opinion helps. I know that I may be spoiled by triadlock and biased, because my experiences with Japanese bl in the past. I must try first some Spyderco with bl made in USA or Taiwan. PS Despite my affection to triadlock, for now I carry much more often Spyderco - Smock, P3 and Sliverax are es...

I'm considering Native Chief.

Here it is. I was talking about how deep that ''hook'' goes into tang of the blade comparised for example to Chapparal disassembled by Nick Shabazz. If these days this lock look different, and is deeper, it's great.

Tomorrow maybe I'll be able to find old picture of my Endura, to show what I'm writing.

Triadlocks made in Taiwan, aren't that expensive, and it doesn't affect weight or design. It's small element. I don't want to advertise another brand here, but you can find slim, cheap knives with that solution without problem. Anyway I don't expect from Spyderco to copy this thing, just asking if J...

I sold or gave away for charity every backlock Spyderco I had. I regret only that I sold Police. But this knife had big lock rock, you could see actually blade moving on tip more than 1 mm up and down. Few other models I had in hands, were almost the same. It was more striking because my knives with...

I'm waiting on C60. Tactical marketing got me. But I'm afraid that it will be gone minutes after premiere, and then on ebay for $300. Like every sprint.

Does quality of back lock in Japanese Spyderco improved? Around 2008-2010, I bought Police SS and Endura 4 FRN, both of them got very disappointing vertical blade play very quickly, without even abusing it. Some guys who purchased Endura at the same time, had the same problem. So how is this these d...

What about C15/C19 Crusade?

It's great to spydieflick.

WE Knife Roxi 3

I must admit, this design has something that new models are missing.

Like Watu, but cooler.

Even so, an American company building their knives in a Chinese factory still has to go through a Trading company (%$) and then add their expenses and profit. The Chinese factory goes direct and eliminates two financial stages. Ah, the Chinese companies have the advantage there. That makes sense. C...

You're probably still in better situation, because in the worse scenario, that 218€ is probably less than 10% of your monthly earnings, not 25-50% for most people in Poland. But that's another topic about currency in some places.

I'm concerned about prices. Currency is one thing but prices are going up every year anyway, quality is the same and it's maybe small inconvenience for US customers, but for Europeans it's really bad. In 7 months for example Watu at dealer is about $70 more expensive. Maybe $20 of that is caused by ...

Launch 13 from Kershaw.

Thank you for this thread. I figured out that screws in Smock clip must be metric, because thread doesn't match those on screws used in Golden models or in Benchmade. What's more funny, Smock clip has different screws placement than in Para 3. So you can't switch them. Metric thread is actually bett...

Mini Loco, blacked by me.
