Congratulations to the winners!

Thank you, Spyderco for this contest each year. Great knives, great company!

My VG-10 Endura has only really had one use, but it is my most used Spyderco knife. Not my longest carry, but for daily farm use it has seen more cutting action than other knives I carry, or have carried.

Endura and a Dragonfly. VG10 and G-2 is as exotic as I have gotten with my EDC. Will carry my Manix XL on special occasions but for every day duty these dynamic duos have been saving my day, every day, for many many years. Thank you Sal!

Tangent! Since we are going there, I would hope Spyderco might first make a utility knife that takes those trapizoidal carpet cutter blades. Most of the ones I have fall apart after a few uses. Maybe Spyderco could also make some special blades for them, too (H1, S30V, etc.). Bright FRN and GITD G10...

Like TP in the bathroom, my Spyderco knives are stored close to where the action happens -- inside the first aid kit. All kidding aside, I have a Sentry Safe pistol cabinet that is filled with my boxed knives along with one of those Remington branded plug-in rechargeable dessicant bricks and a band-...

I'd venture to say the mountains were added by Spyderco to extra WTC boxes and represent the Rockies of Golden, Colorado. Maybe a Seconds sale offering?

I'm going to the Shot Show tomorrow but I thought cameras and taking pictures was against the rules. Kind of a blanket convention rule with some exceptions. Many vendors welcome photos and videos at their booths and others are very restrictive. Spyderco, from previous show reports, has some knife m...

Trying out a new Manix2 XL. First tip up knife, which is not playing well to my preferred spydie-drop opening method. Will see if it grows on me the more I carry it. Love the knife in-hand, the ergos are incredible.

Have a couple Enduras that have ~35% blade loss that I think will get this mod or something similar to it (maybe a sheepfoot style rescue knife tip).

It's just jimping. Just curious but what led you to believe that jimping is only on the thumb ramp and/or choil? Thanks EvilD Primarily, the definitions I could find for jimping were mostly based on what appears to be traditional embellishments to the spine and bolster areas of a knife as a series ...

Paul summed it up pretty well. I suppose there are many different styles/variations of jimping out there so the term "jimping" may be more of a generic term to describe stippling, bumps, ridges, etc. I believe that's where this is headed. Perhaps I am seeking a narrower definition than ex...

Taken directly from the Spyderco online catalog page for the Manix 2 The Jimping doesn't stop there. With full steel liners the scales have jimping that extends beyond the G-10 handle scales scalloping areas of the handle's perimeter. This one is not slipping out of your hand and works well with gl...

In the interest of learning something new if something new can be learned.... Does Spyderco have a different term for its raised traction notches on the handles of a Manix or does it fully fall into the definition of jimping? It's seemingly unique to that knife (protrusions rather than cuts or notch...

Sorry for pointing it out to you awa54... I only noticed because I was closely inspecting the knife as it is my first Spyderco...stupid OCD tendancies! Thanks for the advice Razzle, I'll probably leave it in one piece since I don't have 3 days to mess with it and I'm not very good with my toes anyw...

On a point of related curiosity... Does Spyderco have a different term for raised notches on the handles of a Manix or does it fully fall into the definition of jimping?

On a similar but unrelated topic, there was a contest for photos of abused Spyderco knives and an offer to the winner to have it spruced back up by the Spyderco Crew. Did the results of the contest get posted somewhere? I lost the thread and was hoping to see the results of that one. I think the ori...

Yes! Please do this! Really love the purpose-built design. Even though we can have autos and butterfly knives in Oregon I have little interest in them due to the legal concerns surrounding them, including how they must be carried. The previously mentioned flipper addition to mimic the behavior of an...

Tragic loss to be sure. I can only hope the person that finds your knife will love it as much as you do and enjoys the infection that follows. Handle swaps are possible on the newer FRN DF knives. Generally it is good practice to swap both the lock bar and blade as they are a matched pair (tuned to ...
