Spyderco Forums

I had the Caly 3 on my Christmas list until right now. I never even looked to see if it was pinned, but thats a deal breaker for me.

I dont think I would ever have to take it apart but not being able to sucks. I fully agree with peacefuljeffrey.

Your a good guy!

Something like this just happened on bladeforums last week.

Glad to know the knife community is full of great people!

Your welcome!

Being in Florida H1 is some amazing stuff. I love taking it out on the water.

Here's what my logo looks like.

I have that and I also picked up a similar Kobalt one for Lowes. I end up using the Husky one more because it fits better in my hand.

Well worth the $5!!!

I still can get over how easy it is to find this knife when you set it down...

I took it for its first swim last night. I didnt need to cut anything but its nice to have it there.

Well I finally got one! I'm not sure why it took me so long since I live in FL. This summer I went on vacation to Naples for 5 days and not having a knife on me got really annoying. In the past I've just had a cheap blade I'd take in the water, but in Naples I was at the pool and beach all day every ...

Just wanted to share some pics of the patina I put on my D2 Para. I took the knife apart and gave the blade a really good wash/dry. I gutted some para cord and used the insides to hang my blade from a pen that I had sitting on top of a mason jar. I ended up leaving the blade in for a least 8 hours ...

My attempt at patina failed. I got some red wine vinegar, warmed it, and left my blade in it for 30 mins after a good cleaning/drying.

My blade looks exactly the same. Did I screw up by getting the vinegar too hot? When the blade was hanging in the vinegar I could see a bunch of bubbles forming on ...

I think I'm going to try to patina it.

Like I said on BF I haven't had any issues with mine and it has been carried inside my waistband (pretty damp) while crosscountry skiing for 10 days without any lubrication. No spotting or rust.

Now that I'm looking more into patina it seems there are very mixed thoughts on if D2 will take a good patina if any at all.

Ok. So we got lube the blade more and maybe use wax.

I dont know what to say...Seems weird that I'm the only person with this big of a problem. It shouldnt be an issue with salt in the air because I live in Gainesville. I got a good 1 1/2 hours to the coast on either side.

I'll look into patina.

One reason for the difference may be that the Para uses CPM-D2 and the other knife uses regular D2, the properties of the two steels, including rust resistance, may be quite different. As for your problem, Tuff Cloth or Tuff Glide is worth a try. Assuming you're in the US, most gun shops should ...

I've been lurking here for a good 6-8 months and registered about a month ago. Please dont think I'm bashing Spyderco posting a question like this on my first post. I love the Spyderco's I have (Military, Para, Police3) and have even gifted a few (Native, Tenacious) to people.

Now on to the problem ...
