Spyderco Forums

This one triggers an instant must have reflex. Anyone knows when they are available?

If I understand correctly, the blade of the damascus Delica (and any other Spyderco damascus knife for that matter) is a sandwich of a (non damascus) VG-10 core and two outer layers of damascus VG-10. The blade is flat ground to the core and therefore the edge itself consists of the non damascus ...

As said above, the Harpy has practical benefits. I cuts ropes very efficiently. It could be helpful in emergency situations for cutting clothes without cutting the skin beneath. I use it mainly to open packages. The shape helps to prevent to cut what’s in the package.

The Civilian is only good for ...

And please don’t get me wrong. I find it great that a manufacturer offers a forum and participates actively in it.

It is a lot of manual labor to search the forum for every thread pertaining to sharpening then compile and move every one of them to its own sub-forum. Not saying it can't happen at all but it's a long process and not something that happens overnight.


Of course. I’m not demanding that all has ...

Hi there,
I am a beginner at sharpening and the burr thing is confusing me. I get, that it’s a method to make sure, that you get your edge to apex, when you don’t know the edge angle on your blade. But don’t you think that alternating strokes on a course stone, checking the correct angle with the ...

If you don’t want to keep the Smock, I would happily free you from it.

I’m new here and I greatly enjoy the topics and discussions on this forum.



Welcome, Tom.
What kind of Spydies do you have? Are you having a problem with a particular type of steel, or are you just like the rest of us and just want to talk about sharpening?


Thank you. I just want to talk ...

Hi there,
I have the opportunity to buy a used Civilian at an interesting prize. However, that thing scares the **** out of me and I would only buy it as a collectors item. I am aware, that it was created for self defence. But does that blade serve any other purpose than slicing up bellies and ...

Hi,
I’m new here and I greatly enjoy the topics and discussions on this forum. However, I would find a sharpening sub-forum very helpful. Finally, all our Spydie edges should be and stay sharp, shouldn’t they. Or is it meant that sharpening/honing/stropping topics are discussed in the general ...

Hi. I’m using the Sharpmaker on my SE with pretty good results. It somewhat “flattens” down the “peaks” and the edge snags a little less, which helps.

My humble (but growing) collection.

I think your collection is outstanding. Personally think it’s not about the number but what you appreciate and use . MG2

Thank you my friend. I’m really touched.

The Native.

I’ll try that. It’s what I always do on my straight razors. But there you can an actually see the pin.

I have a blade play issue with these two beauties:
Given that there are no screws to thighten I was wondering if this problem can be fixed.
Thanks.

My humble (but growing) collection.

And the designs often grow on me. The Yojimbo for instance. I found it completely weird and ugly at first and now it’s my favorite blade design.

Thanks guys. I think I agree with everything said. One thing I really love is the slim profile to fit them in my pocket. Other brands with fancy scales often can’t do that. The great variety of aftermarket products is another reason. If you want, you can always pimp them with titanium scales or ...

Normally I stay away from combo edges but for the long blade of the Endura, it’s just perfect. Fine cutting capabilities on the tip and a lot of cutting power close to the fist.

Hi there,
I think that the Endura does not get the attention it deserves on many forums and platforms like YouTube. For me the E ist the epitome of a Spyderco knife in function and form and it should be in every collection. No fancy steels but big and strong. A real workhorse. Despite its impressive ...
