Spyderco Forums

Excited to get mine, and since I'm never going to get an opportunity to make it to the seconds sale in person I appreciate the chance that this offers.

if you can't get a full day out of 8Cr as done by Spyderco, you need to change how you sharpen. 12dps 400 grit cleanly shaving sharp 8Cr Resilience edge would go a month for me.


We all know that geometry cuts and at 2.2 mm blade thickness that'll be the saving grace for the Mantra 4 with that ...

I guess that Spyderco is now following the herd instead of leading, because to me the Button Up and Mantra 4 feel like a late attempt to get a piece of the market of the 2 actions. I don't know how long these 2 models have been in the pipeline, but I swear Sal had said some time ago they were ...

Howdy folks here's my three centavos on the MagnaMax Mule with my copy paste from early September initial report and impressions and my current findings as well.

On the MagnaMax testing front. I'll be using it just as I did the MagnaCut one, as a Kitchen Petty/utility knife, as well as ...

I've been wondering if chipping during sharpening (similar to Maxamet) would be a problem with stone grits under 300. Do you feel like you are able to get a clean apex having started on a 100 grit stone?


Oh hey sorry I did not get back to you,I never saw this reply come up.

I didn't have any ...

Curious if anyone here has used the scales produced by Chroma on their Mule? I like some of their designs and colors, and the price seems fair for an additive-manufactured product.

And the red and black packing material is a great classy touch! Can't wait to start putting it to use. Oh and my dressed up Mantra in pocket to open it up.

Such a good knife! And yay Fall!!

I've had mine in pocket now for last 3 or 4 days and I absolutely love it. Action is certainly comparable to the UKPK that I own and while it was plenty sharp out of the box it now wears a 800 grit/.05um stropped edge that has been an absolute terror on everything I've used it on including four ...

Hey Sal.
I've been pondering your question since I saw it last night, and as much as you are pushing the boundaries of performance in knife steels, you're a businessman, and the bottom line has to matter.

When the MagnaCut Mule dropped, I snagged one for the express purpose of doing with it what ...

Yeah I didn't have any trouble getting my PE, and I'm sure that it will perform as advertised. It'll probably go on kitchen duty as a petty/utility just like I abused the MC version.

Historically, I don’t really know if $337 is good or not for a Starmate,


lol, that is an outrageous price for a knife. I assume this knife is important to some collectors, but I think most of us are over the $300+ prices.


Well given Bob's immense impact on knife design and his own place in ...

Despite the fact they are very similar in size they are worlds apart in how they fit in my hand. The Sage is just so good, while the P3 is awkward for me. Of all the models in that size range it's by far my favorite.

Props to BladeHQ and USPS, got one in hand two days after my order. I was very excited about a tanto blade as I find it to be a super useful profile, and not too many Spyderco tantos out there.

Unfortunately I think I am going to send this one back, and I'm not sure if I'll re-order. A few ...

Oh so hard, but it's got to be the Native 5 in CF/S90V for me.

My wallet isn't just dented, it's smashed flat!

Sezzle is your friend......or maybe not. I'm so screwed for the next few weeks

So I'm cruising through some social media and I see this knife company about to drop their new model with what looks to be a pretty darn close representation of the Byrd opening hole. Now I realize the patent has probably expired but there's been a level of respect in the industry concerning what ...

Sages and Chaparrals are sad surprises (for my wallet this year..)

I know, it was really surprising to see that. Glad I got the Sun/Moon during the MAP holiday.

Looks like a serious pull back on the Chinese products...is the entire Byrd line Disco'd?
