Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

With the UKPK Salt on backorder at my dealer-of-choice, I decided to sweeten the wait with a Native 5 Salt, which arrived today and is great as expected.

A jolly band of hi-viz road workers right outside the SFO

today I was reading the leaflet that came with my new Spydie. I came across the Spyderco street adress and got a bit curious what it might look like there.. the place where all these nice knives come from.
So, off I went to Google Street View, and what I found was pretty much what I had expected: a ...

Re: Post up your Rit dye projects..

Hey, these dyed handles all look great, I'm about to try one myself. :)
One question though: will there be a lot of color bleed / rub-off when using the dyed handle? i.e., when I actually use the knife, will there be color on my hands?

Re: Sold without a box?


As I wasn't too happy with this deal, I opted for "exchange for replacement item", and my (hopefully boxed and unblemished) new Ladybug is supposed to be here on Monday. I'll let you know how it went.

Good news: the replacement Ladybug arrived boxed and in time.
Bad news: there was quite a lot ...

Re: Sold without a box?

I'm done with the doubt-waging, a return/exchange claim has been made.

Today, I took the knife to the office with me, to see if we can still become friends after yesterday's bad start with the missing box.

While fidgeting with it, I found the spyderhole to be pretty rough, i.e. excruciatingly ...

Re: Sold without a box?


Hi, cptoffline:
Welcome to our forum. Your experience is unusual. The Ladybug 3 Salt HB is normally packaged in our small slider box. It isn't necessarily cause for concern, but it's not normal either. Would you mind sharing what retailer you purchased from? It could be that the original box was ...

Sold without a box?

Hi,
today I received a new Ladybug 3 Salt HB from a large online retailer. Other than expected, it arrived without the usual Spyderco box.. what I got was the knife only, packed in a small bubble envelope, in a clear plastic baggy with a sticker, in a flat cardboard shipping envelope.

Is this a ...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

This morning, the mailman delivered a Tenacious LW SE. :cheap-sunglasses (you don't need a picture, do you?)

And in the afternoon, I walked by the Post Office to pick up a UK Pen Knife, Heinnie Haynes Edition: leaf-shaped FFG blade in S30V with red G-10 scales and a full-length back spring ...
