Spyderco Forums

Interested. So it seems like there’s 1/ really only an option to do this for Japanese steels cost effectively and 2/ it limits the heat treat. So laminated steels seem more like a different steel than just a coated variant of their laminated counterparts: they’re more stainless and heat treated diff...

Just curious. You see super blue and hap40 laminated with sus410. Steels like k390 and m4 aren’t. Is this an aesthetic choice? Or is there a reason some steels must be laminated and others not?

Hey Y'all, I've been poking in the Spyderco catalog looking for the largest/longest Spyderco with a 4" SE. The one I was hoping for was a Military SE but I can't seem to find one. I know a Military SE was made in the past because David has a photo of it in his SE thread. The Endura is close to...

Hi Sethwm,

I think that we're still sorting the models. I'm pretty sure it will be available in the future by itself.

Woohoo! Thanks Sal.

Hi Sethwm, We don't have anything to convert the old 20 DPS Sharpmakers. You'll need to purchase a new 204. I designed the fixture to convert the Goldenstone and Webfoot to 15 DPS. You can probably order it by itself from the SFO. I don't know if they're available yet. I travel with a Golden stone ...

Hi Drubieg, I guess it depends on how sharp you like to keep you knife. I like to keep my EDC sharp enough to shave hair. If I use it, I check it at the end of the day. If it isn't sharp enough for me, a few strokes on the Sharpmaker fine stones restores the very sharp edge without removing much st...

Folks know what angle the edge will be? Hoping I can still just use my sharpmaker

I’m seeing this as a short sighted win win for me. If it does well there will be more. If it doesn’t that means I get one easily without fighting the website. Obviously I hope it does well because long term more is better.

I’ll say it again here. If every model had their base color be white, we could all dye to our own preference. I think white is the best option for base models. Disagree? Then dye your knife that color you want.

So, I got three of those GPKnives N5's. I got the last on Friday and picked up some Rit dye. I've read the instructions and just wonder, they say to heat the water to 200 degrees. Does this pose any threat to the FRN? Hoping to dye this one tonight and any tips would be appreciated. No threat at al...

Hey folks, does anyone have a 3d print model for something to make the golden stone be able to do 15 dps rather than 20? I don't think spyderco sells such a thing.

This has come up before, both white-handled knives and white replacement scales. Sal was part of the conversation. Seems like Spyderco would be more open to selling white-handled knives than to selling replacement scales. I get the impression that a number of forumites are reluctant to try RIT dyin...

I’d love to be able to buy replacement scales for my FRN knives: dfly, delica, endela, etc.

If spyderco sold _only_ ivory (or bright white) scales, we could rit dye them any color we wanted. Would open up a whole new part to the hobby: changing the color on our knives.

Is this possible?

Never had a regular para 3. How does it compare to the lightweight?

... For those that aren’t aware - this knife exists because of jazz! Good you pointrd that out, I was about doing ap myself, since this was one of the first things / cool stores I learned after joining this forum. / I'll have to get a wharnie SE myself, just not decided on if it will be actually a ...

I 5th-pocket carry the blacked out PE MB Wharny whenever my primary is a SE. Same for the SE MB Wharnie when my primary is a PE. I dream of another Jester release one day so that I can finally pick one up.

Oh that’s smart doing the opposite

Ok since we're showing family photos here: https://i.imgur.com/TOmoTY1.jpg That's two franken salts (swapped TiCN blades with yellow handles), an LC200N salt, cruwear, m390 with dyed scales, 20cv, k390, and m4. Probably gonna end up selling the m4 but at one point or another, each of these has had s...

The knifecentre pakkawood is the best Delica going in my book

What makes it so ?

Is the hollow ground (is that what it is) worth a try?
