Spyderco Forums

Kahz ,I have to agree with gatekeeper ,the juice is fantastic , I saw it for the first time yesterday and couldn't resist ! Ted is correct in it not having lock blades but that doesn't bother me, I have carried SAK's for years without self inflicted amputation and don't intend to start now! Until ye...

most people seem to think i am out of balance, -round the bend , whacky , eccentric
etc.- But then they don't even own a pocket knife nevermind a masterpiece like a spyderco!

Wouldn't mind if my knife collection multplied as fast as these multiple posts appear !

Hi , I wouldn't let the colour put you off the yellow (Kf4) version .- the juice has also just arrived here in SA and whe i saw and handled it i just HAD to have it - settled on the yellow version as i don't like the corkscrew as if it is anything like one on the SAK tend to get stuck in everything....

Not sure that I would use the "bead chain" -had too many of that type of keyring break on me - always got too much in my pocket for it to snag on ! depends on how careful you are . I would rather use a piece of thin cord (3 milimetre or so) and use a surgeons knot to make the loop (basical...

When wiping my recently aquired and as yet unused rescue model I noticed a hairline- crack right through the top portion of the thumbhole , was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems or could sugest how this could have happened to a new knife (said knife presently on its way to our local ...

Hi Jeff ,
Only after I sent my reply re shaving did I realise what you meant , sorry , not my best while working nightshift ! IF ATS 55 is better than G2 must REALLY BE GOOD !

In a word "THANKS"

Hi Jeff ,
I've never tried shaving with a spydie -too scared I'll decapitate myself! but it does a pretty neat job of slicing through the photostat paper without any sign of tearing (even after its ordeal!)

Hi, I once cut through a car tire , complete with steel belting with a Gin 1 version , didn't do the blade much good but after some sharpening , and polishing with metal polish the blade was (and still is) almost as good as new .I definitely don't have a problem with Gin 1 .As i don't make a habit o...

Hi Krazikurtis
I have heard of a number of of people that have broken the tips of their civilians , but in nearly all cases some twisting was involved ,as long as the blade is not twisted or used as a pry-bar it seems pretty strong Hence my saying CAREFULLY !

Hi , Boye dent is easily added using a cut off wheel in a dremel , followed by a sanding drum then some elbow grease and waterpaper , just be careful not to remove too much metal or else the blade won't close !- then you have to remove some material from the handle ! I have just recently modified my...

I carry mine daily ,AND use it CAREFULLY for a variety of uses - opening boxes (esp cutting the nylon strapping) Only problem I have had is slicing myself as well as what I was cutting !Hope never to need it for defence but it is good to know it is there if needed ! Have just recently got a G10 one ...

Easy - two militaries !

For me it MUST be the civilian preferably in G10 !

Harpy comes a close second.
