If they had Spyderco in a galaxy far far away, they wouldn't need lightsabers.

I can help

Next time anyone wants a seki knife he can buy it from me to ensure it is not radioactive. You must understand the dangers involved, however, and the hazardous material handling fees that go along with them. It's not a safe job, believe me, but I am willing to help out in these dangerous uncertain t...

Maybe Michael Janich needs his own casual bombshell thread, as he dropped a few bombs over on USN recently. First order of business. A few people who attended MBC this year got to handle the Yojimbo 2 prototype. Mike clarified a couple things: Thanks for your interest and enthusiasm for the Yo 2. F...

Question for collectors...

Got a question of the value of my Swick. This is the wharnie second run and it is NIB and still in the plastic and cardboard sheath. Does this make it more valuable or less valuable to a collector? My basis of comparison is action figures in a blister pack or out of package OR are they like resin pa...

I would recommend either in se. Hawks just cut so much better the teeth. The part about yardwork also make me lean towards the spyderhawk over the tasman. It is pretty big though. Good luck!

Very interesting. How would this effect a folder with a spyder hole? Is it too small to do any significant effect?

Yojimbo 2!!!

Now his Yojimbbo2 has been designed with this feature built into the design, where as with the Delica, it was accidental.

I have noticed the 2 different "Spyderco" engravings on the tang, but didn't know that meant they were from the same maker :D

If this is true, that could mean the Zulu and PPT could be from the same maker that makes the Bradley :eek:

I liked the comment about the Zulu having a low price! I'm sure that's relatively speaking, but hope it comes in close to the Sage 1. i agree. I like how spyderco is introducing the new collabs through taiwan manufactures making it easier for us to get 'em in our pockets and give feedback on improv...

good idea. My biggest concern would be to make sure the tip of the blade actually sits below the scales. i'd get it done with a tip-up mod and you'd be set :cool:

Mirror polish a blade

I was looking through eBay and saw a 25th anniversary Delica. Nice knife and way too nice for my wallet. My question is about the blade specifically. How did they get that mirror polished blade and would the results be replicable by a n00b like me? Thanks for the input as always :cool: .

Damascus Native?

Looks similar to the Chinese knock-offs we've seen around, but this one is pulling down mad money. Legit?
