Spyderco Forums

The first is a Spyderco that I believe is supposed to be discussed in the restricted Spyderco model area. I hope I can at least say here that it is an amazing example in its class of knife and go into detail in that section in another post.

The other 2 are the ZDP-189/CF Stretch and the original ...

Although not mostly on my Spyderco knives, I've found some light rust stains on other high quality knives I have made out of 154CM steel.

Have any of you ever found this to be a problem on any of the knives that you own ? Any advice as to what kind of lube and product to take them out without ...

In this order at least for now.

:spyder: PPT - Think just about every reason has already been stated why I want this one. I am really looking forward to it.

:spyder: Sage 3 - It is surprising to me I don't own any Sage model yet but this one might actually be a tie with the PPT on my new model ...

yes, with a clip from a Dodo - it gives a bit more knife to grab when pulling it out of my pocket. :)

I understand that desire. It is one of my favorite aspects of the Yojimbo. I have a couple of other knives I want to sit higher out of the pocket like that as well. Just want to add that your ...

I thought about showing the P'kal broken down this way but ended up doing the work I planned during the spare time I had. It is of course very similar looking to this with it's similar construction. While it was apart I polished the backspacer/lock channel, liners, extra polish to all moving contact ...

And whether you like it or not your comments have worn out their usefulness on this subject with regards to telling me anything new. I'm not sure why you decided I don't understand the situation at this point. I clearly do. I knew that after the first response that said this was the way it was even ...

Thanks a lot for that, Sir. Have a nice day as well.

Have a nice day.

Hard or not is relative. I didn't buy the knife as a project to finish either.

If I end up keeping the knife I have already stated I would modify the handle and it was always planned to be a user to some extent, task specific. Just because I can use it that doesn't mean I want it to start with a ...

Is this similar to the issue you describe? In the picture, you can clearly see how the top (clip) side faux-liner is thicker than the other side, which gives the appearance they are uneven. It's not a Lum Chinese Folder, but it is the same handle material:

That is exactly what I'm talking about ...

I appreciate your input but the reasons or processes are meaningless to me now. There is no way to convince me there is any justification to assemble and finish a knife of this price or really any Spyderco in this manner. If this is seriously normal there is nothing more to say to convince me it ...

Thanks. That was a quick response and exactly what I needed to know. It saves me bothering to contact anyone at Spyderco about it.

This one goes bye bye to someone that can accept that kind of "work". Lesson learned, at least not too expensive of one.

Now I'll raise a little stink. I am still ...

I received a NIB 2008 Lum Chinese yesterday. Excitement from what at first looked and still feels like an amazing knife went to confusion as I examined the handle. :confused:

From what I can tell with the LC, after the aluminum handle gets the Almite treatment there is an attempt to precisely ...

The main things the knives really share are company make, blade steel and bi-directional FRN scales. I own both but being such different knives they are for different purposes. What you are planning to use the knife for should most likely be the biggest reason for your pick. If it is just collecting ...

There is no doubt the original Temperance in SE is one of my favorite knives and is one of the only 2 full SE knives I currently own. I'm still waiting for it to need a sharpening after quite a bit of use now. My Aqua Salt is PE but I have my sights set on a SE version to go with it soon. Like many ...

Sorry to hear about that bite. Ouch! :(

It is an often underrated steel but still one of my favorites. I have my share of the newer steels designs that are used in knives from Spyderco and others but I have never had an issue with 154CM's performance.

On the subject of the standard Manix 2 that ...

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking it wasn't Lexan for a couple of the same reasons but was hoping for some responses like this. Thanks again.

Sorry if this has been covered. I did a search and was unsuccessful. I was just wondering if someone could tell me what type of plastic the clear cage is on the caged ball locks? I have heard that clear plastic is often lexan and I am hoping it is something different. Anyone know for sure the exact ...

I told a friend the other day that I think the knives with the best chance or being my safe queens are oddly enough the cheap knock offs of really nice designs that I don't trust to use. Really nice to look at but with realistic fear of the blade shattering (again) the low cost knife is actually the ...

I just wanted to reply again because for those I don't own I have handled the others quite a bit. I was basing my original reply on what I already own.

If didn't already own a Delica or Endura then a Delica would be my first choice between the ones you listed if that is all I'm allowed to choose ...

I wasn't trying to suggest that you were Spyderco bashing! Sorry if it seemed that way! I was just doing a thought experiment, trying to imagine why Spyderco doesn't do more with the online catalog.

I agree that something *should* happen--the side by side photos of the Kuhkri here on the forum ...
