Spyderco Forums

I finally bought one and was surprised to have a total pain while disassembling it. The lockbar pin was totally stuck in the lockbar, incapable of moving. This made the knife really hard to use and my plan of migrating blade and lockbar to a Ti + Backspacer body impossible. The lockbar pin had mate...

Since you won't be using the top of the end of the blade (unless you are stabbing things), is there something recommended that you can paint on that area?

'No guthook' PE Impala. It is the last old Spyderco I was looking for.

In my case the cure for the knife disease was even more knives. Once I covered all my use cases, needs and wants i slowed down and abstained from buying any knife for almost two years now. Instead, i customized what I had. Today I have a Barkie Kephart on preorder and that's it. I am still waiting ...

Blade Length vs Edge length - Why does it matter? I am 63 and for the most part do not worry about having a record because I do not apply for work any more. If you apply for work, having a record can mean NOT WORKING, or not working in your desired field, I know this first hand. I was passed on for...

"...& SPOONS make people fat”, says a t-shirt I like to wear. When there are no clean spoons, I have used a butter knife to get at the ice cream :shush Reading through this thread, I'm bewildered that knife length is such an issue. I have never heard of anyone having their pocket knife bla...

If you guys think Spyderco pocket knives are a disease, then you should not get into high end Japanese kitchen knives. Just sayin ... This statement has made me spend 5 seconds analyzing my knife-buying habits :zany I say that because I only recently upgraded my kitchen knives (including 5 Spyderco...

A complete set of Spyderco's 302 Benchstones would be excellent. But I also believe everyone should own and learn to use a Spyderco 204 Sharpmaker. If you want to go to another higher level of freehand sharpening and gain better skills using benchstones then there is a book I highly recommend to al...

Can't go wrong with the Spyderco Medium and Fine benchstones. The Ultrafine gets a little pricey though. Some diamond emulsion on a strop may get you the finished edge you want. What he said. I have an Ultrafine and have never felt the need to use it. I also strop with diamond emulsion and find it ...

https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=94887&p=1718216#p1718216 I always do this by "bringing down" the spine as described in this thread. That's typically the best way to get the tip pointy again, although I certainly understand if you wouldn't want to remove the DLC coat...

I have read where members claim a certain model had the sharpest factory edge ever. My experience would be just the opposite with the same model - this has happened more than once. Not saying sharpness from the factory is random, but it's not 100% consistent. My Maxamet blades have all been very sha...

For the folks that haven’t seen these in person something thing that’s not apparent in the photos is Santa Fe only does their work on one side of the handle.

That must be a new thing, or an option - mine is done on both sides.

I just finished sharpening one of the BHQ PM2 Tanto sprints - my first Tanto sharpening (an authentic one!). When I received it, it appeared to have the factory edge but was very dull. There was chipping where the edges of the blade met, as if someone had been beating a piece of metal with it. I sha...

- The Dessert Warrior craze - probably the most disturbing of all. It's kitsch. i don't get the craze, but i think the original premise is hilarious. i like puns and wordplay, so the idea of taking a misspelling online and making it a reality is funny. what i don't like is overdoing a joke so that ...

removed - so many great pics, mine was clutter!

I apologize but I haven't taken the time to read everything you wrote since my last post. I promise I will later. In the meantime, I had previously said I found it hard to believe that there were Chinese clones of the PM2 Tanto and I still believe that. I did a few web searches and I can't find a t...

Cobalt Special Mule (#09) to slice a couple of roasts for sandwiches.

Wonderfully-sharp knife that I bought 2nd-hand and was super-easy to bring up to speed - now on kitchen duty for the forseeable future.

Double gold washers instead of single bronze:
