Factory Sharpening...wow

I just got my SS Native II back from CO, and the edge that they put on it was razor sharp. Is it that easy to use the sharpmaker? I have laid off getting one because I didn't want to mess up the spyder edge on my knives. But, if the sharpmaker can put an edge on my knife like this then I think I bet...

A small spydie

I was looking for a small Spydie as an EDC...to appease the sheeple. I like the mouse, but I don't need anything that $$$. How's the cricket as an EDC? What's your favorite small spydie?>

Blade Art

IF this has been posted already, forgive me, I have been away. I found this while I was looking for a mouse (spyderco that is).

I have used mine in as many ways, if not more, than my Native. At first I rarely carried it, but now I take the Harpy instead of the Native. I work in an research facility and I'm always off doing odd jobs where I can use the Harpy. I've grown to really like it. I find ways to use it.

The extent of my knife safety lessons are usually, "Hey, that's really sharp, so be careful." Sometimes I throw in, "Quit messing around before I have to take you to the hospital." Sad, but true. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Get one that looks good to you, and go from there. You'll learn to love any spydie you get. The knife may be there longer than the man anyway. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I just recently purchased a knife which happened to be my first spyderco (the Native II). I needed a new knife, and I happened to catch the Maxim review of the spyderwrench, so I checked the spyderco site. Aesthetically, the knives were very appealing, so that is what was behind my first purchase. I...

I think you just went through a rite of passage among men. There are always going to be more opportunities, and I hardly think that you've wasted a year. I think Alan1212 said it best.

Hmmm...sounds like something I'd like. The cricket-blade would be more desirable, but I think I'd rather have the 440 steel. Now, I just need to track one down. Neat little knife from what I've seen.

I'm 27. I've had knives ever since I was about 6 or 7. Got my first lockback at around 11 yrs old. I still have it...it was Buck knock-off hunting knife (brand was Sharp). First serrated blade was a Schrade (POS), and I just recently got my first Spydie. Before that my EDC was a Victornix Swiss Army...

You can never replace a loved one...I suggest you look into purchasing a different blade with perhaps a different personality. Let your old blade RIP.

Hey Xtreme, I was looking for a knife for much the same purpose. I ended up getting the SS native. At first I got the lightweight, but I went and traded it for the SS. I was actually looking for an endura or dragonfly, but the dealer I went to didn't carry a lot of spydercos. Anyway, what I like abo...
