Re: The Steel Family


I notice the original photo is all titanium handles. That's quite a collection. Here's an old picture of some of my stainless steel handled Spydies.

My friend collects steel spyderco. One day he saw this photo and decided to make a response.

Metals and alloys

I had an idea. Can an ordinary person buy a maxamet or N690 steel ingot? How does it work, and how do I find such stores? Metals and alloys

We've driven trucks over our FRN knives. I don't the FRN would be a problem. We've shipped millions of knives all over the world with very few problems, and if there was a problem, we solved t.

I had an endura with dents on the frn. I wore it on my pocket, it was strange

Re: China


Sigh 😮‍💨 ok going to try and redirect this back to the original request by Sal. Please no politics as requested by @sal in the first post.

I have a question that has been percolating in the back of my mind. Does China have any premium, tool or super steels? Maybe @Larrin could weigh in on this ...

Re: Beautiful packaging



I was chatting with friends about how knives are packaged. Unfortunately, spy's packaging is just a cardboard box. I'm probably a "magpie," but I want a beautiful box. I have a buck, and it has a whole case. Cold steel also has a friend in a case. Chinese manufacturers put it in a purse. I ...

I heard a story that a batch of blades was made in China, but then they were imported to America and stamped "Made in the USA."

Re: China

More. The strong point of spyderco is its history. If you create a separate model - a flagship of Chinese production, it will be very interesting again!

Re: China

I have nothing against Chinese production. Some of their knives are very good in quality. If spyderco assigns its own specialist to control quality, it will be great. I think it would be worth releasing a premium spyderco to show the level of capability of the Chinese factory - if the price is ...

Re: Z-12 Ultra mule?


Zapp "Blade Quality" knife steels. I think that this mainly means that they're grades that they already sell which have been annealed and hot rolled into sheets. This PDF has compositions in it for both "Z-Wear BQ" and "Z-12Ultra BQ".

I could not care less about packaging. In my view it should only be functional enough to get the knife to me undamaged.
I'm getting knives from far away, and the box, without any soft filling, doesn't guarantee the integrity of the knives.

Re: Z-12 Ultra mule?

What kind of steel are we talking about? I'm not very familiar with it. Is Z-12 steel?
