Spyderco Forums

Congratulations @Larry_Mott on your wedding what a wonderful keepsake from Spyderco.

H1 is some amazing stuff. Haven't tried H2 but performance should be about the same.

To me a salt folder is way, way, way more useful than high edge retention super steels.

I would take a steel with the performance of Bucks 420HC they use in 110's, just made rust proof, over all the steels ...

I like Salt knives because we have high humidity, monsoon rains and typhoons several months a year.

I've always made it a point to clean my tools immediately after yardwork when I was younger, but these days the Salt series allows me the luxury to enjoy a warm cup of coffee after working before ...

You could clove hitch a double stuff around your neck and walk around like an absolute boss

In seriousness though, the CBN double stuff is brilliant if anyone here hasn’t tried one. I use it all the time for anything from touch ups at work to full sharpenings on holiday.

It's mixed. I've missed Spyderco Hundred Pacer. Found one in a British online retailer and by the time I check out it was gone. The hunt continues. On the other hand, in the British forum I literally stole Spyderco Manix XL C95GP. Brand new in box. For a £100 delivered to my door. That's the deal ...

Theres an Emerson Wave Dragonfly on there right now for $45 and free shipping. I want it, but I had better not. So maybe one of you can pick it up

$45?! That could be on the crazy good deals thread as well

Never really missed grails but I have been burned twice on a model from another brand, taking chances on eBay and I got scammed both times but did manage to get my money back.

Man, that sucks. I’m glad you got your cash back.

JD smith in good but used condition - sold for $90. I set an alarm, on the right day on the wrong month!

REC PM2 for $180. Just missed the auction end

Centofante 4 for $120 a while ago.

(But to counter the gloom, I've scored some great deals this year)
S2XL H2 for $90
Dragonfly H2 for $60 ...

So many good suggestions on this thread!

I may be slightly biased being a Brit abroad and wanting fancy pants knives to take on holiday to the UK with me when I visit, but I would LOVE a Cru-carta UKPK! I’m currently carrying the Chap Slipjoint for this summer’s trip around Switzerland, Scotland ...

Having just completed my weekly check of eBay for a Cruwear SE Ayoob and grumpily muttering to myself about missed opportunities, I thought it might be fun to hear some of your experiences of missing out on your dream or ideal knives.

Misery loves company, or so I’m told 🫠

Speaking of the merits of SE Cruwear I’m still gutted I missed the SE Ayoob Sprint run. I regularly check eBay for them but the SE model just never seems to turn up I guess the fact that nobody seems to want to sell theirs is an indication of how excellent they are to use.

I will continue to argue for the advantages of serrated edges as long as I'm alive because I believe it is a knowledge' that more in our world should have. And we will continue to refine them. The "geometry of a serrated edge is more like a 3D version of a plain edge. size and shape of the ...

I was thinking the same, just buy new brown
rods. But the rods I would want, CBN, are much more expensive.


The CBN’s are excellent. The CBN double stuff especially is a fantastic bit of kit for on the go or travel. I’ve brought mine with me as my only sharpening kit for my summer hols around ...

Not to muddy the waters, but I would absolutely love one of these in SE. Just sayin.

How many of you have broken your knife tips? I feel like I have been lucky with my knives and have yet to break any of them.

I was watching a knife center clip today and the native chief salt was praised for its strength despite having a thin tip.

A few months back I was browsing blade forums ...

I agree, it's a great design. I like it enough I plan to buy a second before they're all gone. I've taken mine backpacking on 3 different trips now and it works well. Temperance + a machete is a great combo where I live.

Since reprofiling my PE Temp to a thinner edge it carves wood as easily as a ...

My first experience of losing a Spyderco happened yesterday - my D’fly Salt SE H1 🤦🏼‍♂️

Wore it IWB to the beach with my kids, got changed, put it in the beach bag loose and now it is gone. I suspect it fell out in the boot (trunk?) of the rental car we were using for the day. Absolutely gutted as ...

Hey Rob,

Our serrations are good mix of size and shape. Finely sharpened on the Sharpmaker will get to the point where they don't snag. Getting the teeth "right" is the purpose of this thread that Dave created. We're always trying to get the factories to get them right and we're getting closer ...

Ok, this is a weird one and not about the blade. We all know what G10 does to jeans pockets, and as a joke I once said G10 scales can be used as a nail file....It actually works....
