I have a thread going in General Discussion on it.

Really? Well, that's another one I gotta look into now. :) Thank you.

Forgive me for dredging up this old thread but I'm not too up on Spydies. Yet. :) What is the top knife in this pic? Is that an original Police model? Thanks.

Forgive me, but I'm blind in both ears. Is the G10 model of the Delica the only full flat grind Delica available? Thanks.

Only problem is the handle's a bit small for my meathooks. Guess I gotta look for an early Endura in black then. Thanks!

Well, I subbed for Santa and got myself a pe Spyderhawk. It came today and I used it for opening packaging and envelopes, etc. My first hawkbill and I love it! This is my second Spyderco knife and I've a feeling won't be my last.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Somewhat of a Spyderco newbie here... I've looked and haven't found one so figured I'd ask to be sure..... Is the Endura available in an all-black model with a PE blade? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I love the compression lock. It's even with the Axis lock as far as reliability goes, maybe even better. I wish Spyderco would make more compression locked knives. Sal, you hearin' me brother?!

Merost, you cannot go wrong with an Emerson. I've got a CQC14 Snubby and love it. The ergonomics are the best I've ever felt on a knife. My next Emerson will be a CQC8. Now I just gotta decide if that'll be a "regular" CQC8 or Super CQC8! Arrghh!

Para, Para, dammit Para!!! :D

Boker Trance. :D

Nice work, Jim! I like the smooth lines of her. What did you use? Sanded by hand, belt sander, Dremel?

I picked up a Para last year but after a while I didn't like the handle's shape. It just didn't fit my meathooks. Now I'm thinking of sanding down the front-most bump and maybe take the back down a little, too. So has anyone else modified their Para's handles to fit them better?

I would LOVE to see a more tactical handled Spyderco, ala Emerson, with a large finger groove, and using the Compression Lock. The Compression Lock is tied with the Axis Lock for most reliable lock IMO. I think this would be a very big seller for Spyderco. My military buddies and I have all talked a...

The T6 or T8 designation just denotes the type and size driver needed for that particular screw, which would be TORX 6 or TORX 8 on most Spydercos. Offhand, I don't know what the actual screw diameter and pitch would be for those screws so I agree with Deacon. Calling Spyderco would be the easiest w...

Anyone know any place that sells custom scales (handles) for the Paramilitary? Thanks.

The answer is to change your average pocket clip to something less... knife-y, ala pen clip. My clip I just installed on my Para for tip-up is a standard metal belt clip used for keys. I think the brand was Hyko, item#kc182. It looks a lot less like a knife clip... more like a money clip. So far, so...

I finished my Para tip-up mod yesterday afternoon. I first did a wire clip just like Tricod's but didn't like it. I then made a typical flat clip, but using only 1 screw and it's working perfectly. A little blue Loctite on everything and she's good to go. Pics, if anyone cares, will be up when I get...

If you are REALLY into modding, you can make the detente on the Para much better. I'd have no problem doing this but my detente seems to be deep enough. MOF, I had my Para clipless sitting in my RFP with a lanyard for a few days and it never bit me. :) Well, the hole is drilled and counterbored, th...

What I do when I install the wire clips is inset my own small liner in the G-10 (.050 titanium disk). I make a disk because I can simply use an endmill to cut inlay the liner. Hello, Tricod! Nice to meet another guy with modding in the blood. :) Have you tried using a binding post (aka Chicago scre...

OK, last night while opening up my Para so I could work on the tip-up clip mod one of the ph/bronze washers went .... somewhere. :eek: After hours of looking I still cannot find it. Anyone know what the dimensions of these ph/bronze washers are in the Para? Thanks.
