Spyderco Forums

This one looks amazing! I've already put my preorder in. :)

Q Ball. Must have the Q Ball. :D

This is my first time at seeing this thread and all I can say is WOW!!! This has a ton of solid information. I love the comparison pics in each review. It definitely helps put each knife in perspective. Thanks so much for the work you've put into this thread. Also, you've got another Youtube ...

G10/VG10 Dragonfly should be arriving with my UF rods for the Sharpmaker tomorrow. I had one that was lost about a year ago. The Super Blue Dragonfly I received for Christmas reminded me just how much I love the Dragonfly. It is the epitome of the "Little Big Knife" concept to me.

Sdedalus83,

Thanks for the info. I had thought that was the case, but I wanted to make sure before causing any undue stress on the knife.

Also, I'm 100% in agreement with ASmitty. Video reviews got me to try a Spyderco knife. The quality of the knife got me to become a fan. But it was the ...

I recently received a Superblue Dragonfly and have been carrying it on a regular basis. First, I have to say that I love this knife! I've been a fan of the Dragonfly for a couple years and this is the third version (g10/vg10, zdp189, superblue) that I have. This is easilly the sharpest out of the ...

Any chance you could mention the dealer's name so we can avoid them? If you don't want to post it publicly could you send me a PM?

Thanks,

Jeff

I'll second the purple Ladybug. That is what I bought for my wife. Replace the Bug on the keychain with it and she won't even have to think about remembering it.

PM sent to you.

I don't have the stretch, but I have found that the Husky torx set fits the various screw sizes on my other knives. Amazon has it listed for a ridiculous $29.99, but I bought it at either Home Depot or Lowes for around $7.00.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a Captain before it was discontinued, but I did pick up one of the ZDP-189 SE Delicas. I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open on ebay for a good deal on the Captain.

I also do not have the cricket, but have been considering it for my next purchase for a little while. I definitely plan on keeping the clip on for various uses such as a tie clip or money clip. Also, like a few others have mentioned, I have found the clip useful in other of my knives for gripping ...

First, thanks to chuck buck for his advice. I've rinsed the knife out twice. Each time it opened smoothly after drying, but within a day it started getting rougher. Also, after rinsing the locking part of the blade that is behind the notch would be gleaming, but as it got rougher to open some black ...

I purchased my first Spyderco knife, a Centofante 3, about six months ago. Since then I've bought a Delica ZDP-189 SE and a Salt I PE. I've had the Delica for about three months and it doesn't open nearly as smoothly as the Centofante or the Salt I that I got about a month ago. I've tried lubing it ...

You know, I wonder if Sal ever sits back and chuckles at the number of us chasing after a knife that was named after one of the first animals that people realized went extinct.

That being said, count me in with the dreamers, I'd love one. :)

I think the majority of the backlash against him isn't so much due to the purchase and resale of some forum knives or his justification of it on the boards, I think that it is due to the YouTube video that he posted about the forum knives where he ridicules the forum members that were extremely ...

Actually, they give you the option of either UPS or USPS. For me in Ohio, shipping for one knife is $6 for USPS priority and around $10 for UPS ground. IIRC, they ship from California.

My vote is ORANGE! Do it now before over-saturating the market with orange handles. In a survival situation I want to be able to find what I am looking for. Orange is the best color under any/all circumstances. Yellow is good, but definitely not in snow or the Fall season. Orange is THE emergency ...

The color is perfect for being discreet in the pocket of a pair of jeans. If it had a wire clip instead of the black clip it would be nearly invisible.

I have also bought from YCS. I had no problems with them. The shipping estimates are pretty spot on as long as you pay attention to when they actually ship. I think that when I used them it said they didn't ship on Mondays or Wednesdays. That may have changed.
