Spyderco Forums

I'm a fan of the Spyderco Brouwer. I like that it has no hump and that it's very narrow in the pocket for a Spyderco. It gets out of the way when not in use very nicely. I really like the sturdy spear point blade. I don't like that I've had one come open in my pocket. I wouldn't mind if it was a ...

The Abel Reels Native 5s were gorgeous, but super expensive.
@Mark!'s post makes me wonder if the Zome dye treatment could make something similarly interesting, but significantly more cost effective.

Nick appears to use cjk's approach.

mostly. I have the knife half open, then interface the lock bar to the tang of the blade, then open it all the way keeping the lock bar in its notch in the blade. This lines up the hole for the barrel.

This is how I reassemble Seki lockbacks.
I quoted myself from this thread:

You want to loctite the pivot screw and the lockbar screw for sure. None of the rest of the body screws have ever backed out on me.

It easiest for me to install the ...

Hey Caly fans, try out a Spyderco UK Penknife (UKPK) if you haven't already. It will feel "oh so familiar".
The blue G-10 SPY27 one (C94GPCBL) is a super nice piece and very reasonably priced.

I used to watch his videos. Looks like he hasn't posted in 4 years.

He has a newer channel called Slipjoint Display. It's predominantly about GECs.

Ah good Info thanks. I didn't know so much went into to the name from Vasco Wear foreward.

Here's an article you might find interesting:

Why not just keep what is known?

NSMWARE = I dont like it, NSM Cruewear would be better. MSMWEAR just sounds like somebody trying too hard to make a name change without any good reason besides some type of insider stuff going on.

Same for S90V just stick NSM in front.

Nice thing about CPM It ...

Hi David,

We wanted to add a lanyard hole of some type, but, everything we came up with was more challenging that we thought to incorporate into the knife.

We have another two bladed model that we've refined prototypes, but both blades lock and it has some other unique features, but the concern ...

I'm excited to have placed my order for a couple of these just today. Thanks @8th_Note for posting the size comparison pictures!

I used to search this forum using google with a search string like this:

"2024 discontinued list site:forum.spyderco.com"

Curiously this no longer works. This is what is returned for anything I search for using "site:forum.spyderco.com".

"Your search did not match any documents"

When I broaden ...

Stainless steel handles engraved "Hers" and "also hers" :winking-tongue .

I prefer forest green. I am fine with black, OD green, kelly green, blues, browns, khakis, etc. I really don't like orange except for high visibility situations.

When my wife wanted an OTF, her detailed specifications were ...

But I agree with Carrot, nobody out there is really asking for more back locks.

The all-new for 2025 Sprint version is now made in the flagship Golden, Colorado factory and has updated materials with a titanium Reeve Integral Lock (i.e., a titanium framelock) chassis, a cobalt blue G10 show-side handle scale, and a blade made from Spyderco's proprietary SPY27 particle ...

Thank you, cjk. We're working on it, but we have a few other priorities ahead. :)

Kristi

You're welcome. Glad to assist.

@TazKristi
The "Complete List of Mule Team Blades" at the bottom of the URL below could use an update.
It ends after MT41.
https://spyderco.com/pages/mule-team-project

The Magnamax Mule was MT46 and has arrived and sold out. MT44 and 45 are in the latest reveal.

I would prefer an Endela sized salt over the sizes that are available today, but I think that such a thing would mostly cannibalize sales from the other models.
If you need a salt knife, you need a salt knife. The Endela is a little shorter than an Endura, but not a lot.
I'd be more interested in ...

Thank You very much!

You're welcome.

The tip on my 15V one does seem to have a little less coverage when closed than my S30V one, but it's not proud. The 15V one looks like it's been sharpened more. I cannot touch the tip with my finger no matter how hard I try.
