Re: New(ish) Delica is covered in surface rust

Why would you send the knife all the way back from Australia for "SURFACE RUST" !!?? That's like returning your car to the manufacturer to "GET WASHED" !!! Use WD-40 or knife oil and wipe it off yourself !!! https://www.amazon.com/Eraser-Maintenance-Kitchen-Lubricant-Protection/...

Re: Future value of Paysan on secondary market?

Now that the Paysan is officially discontinued and supply has dried up , will the value increase in the secondary market like the Nirvana? Personally, I see it settling around the $800-$1,000 range. Thoughts? I just bought a brand new Paysan from KnifeCenter !! So, they are not "dried up"...

Re: EXTREMELY disappointed with Spyderco

Mystery boxes are not inherently a scam, but they can be risky. Some mystery boxes may not deliver the value or quality of items promised, leading to disappointment for the buyer. Always consider the potential risks before deciding to buy a mystery box. Companies use "mystery boxes" to get...

---I was recently able to purchase a brand new Spyderco Catcherman on ebay for a very reasonable price of $150.---- It's nice that you like it. But, it is not "brand new". It has a lot of wear and scratches from use. And you can see the uneven sharpening also. As well as the scratches on t...

Re: New Spyderco Paysan CQI: defective & disappointing

The design seems to need a lockbar access cutout or some other system to defeat the lockstick on the anecdotal cases of occurrence Keep in mind...the design is based on Peter Rassenti's Paysan. When Spyderco does a collaboration model like this they try to stay as close to the designer's enterpreta...

Re: Straight Razor from Spyderco

The timing couldn't be better. With the ridiculous, outrageous costs of disposable razors and other shaving gear I've really been considering going full stride with a straight razor setup. I'm sure Mr. Glesser could put out a product that could compete heavily with any of the newer straight razors ...

I’d much rather have a Nirvana.
The Nirvana is a much nicer model.

I bought mine back in 2016 for $432.

I didn't like the Paysan when introduced and didn't buy it. I still wouldn't buy it.

Re: Updated Paysan..?

Spyderco website shows Paysan at MSRP $920. Knifecenter pre-order at $644.

Not worth it.

Re: C101G2 OUT OF STOCK

My wish is Spyderco would have link off website to get email alert when back in stock.🤔 Probably due to the insane demand that would be too much work. At least I’m guessing so. Not too much work !!! Most companies have a "back in stock notification" system in place. All you do is to add y...

Re: i might do the unthinkable

Whether they are "users" or "collectables", the boxes raise the value overall.

Even if you switch out your "users", you need a box to store them in.

And the boxes show the details for the knife.

It's called "organization".

We'll keep an open mind, but we'd have to shorten the Urban blade to do so and many like the Urban blade like it is.

Re: stok drop point

If you look at Spyderco website under their "blade shapes", it is NOT A DROP POINT.

But is a Sheepsfoot blade.

Re: Roadie—new blue hue?

Spyderco website states it as just "blue".

There is no differentiating it from the old "light" or new "navy".

So I assume the color shading is just part of the manufacturing process. And when you order it from a distributor you won't know if it's the old or new color.

Re: I may Have Gotten Scammed….

---Tracked down a used Rex45 Manix2 on the secondary market, private seller.---

Caveat Emptor.

More cons and rip offs than legitimate sellers on the secondary market.

That is why you stick to the primary markets, it's safer.
