Spyderco Forums

Hi, I have a question regarding the sharpening service offered by Spyderco. The website says to include $5 for the return shipping. Is that $5 per knife or just $5 for how many ever knives I want to send in? I might want to send in like 10 knives if it was only $5 for the whole package. Thanks!

I just noticed that Chinook 3 has been discontinued!! :eek:

Does anyone know if there's a replacement model on the way?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Actually when I took the FFG blade of the G10 Endura and put it in a FRN Endura 4, the deployment was still very fast. I'm not sure why that is. This was before the release of the FFG FRN Enduras.

Tenacious is a liner lock though. This full-flat-ground-blade's-lower-inertia problem seems to be isolated to back locks that put a lot greater pressure on the blade as it opens than other knives lock types. At least that's what I've noticed.

Very nice! I can deploy a lot of my knives fast, but not quite that fast. With Chinook 3, I might as well don't even bother, lol.

I thought I was pretty quick but looking at Michael Janich's videos mine are slow-motion. :)

Would you link the video? I would love to see it.

"Deployment speed" is only necessary to impress teenagers.

The Chinook can be opened reliably, safely, and quick enough for any intended need or purpose.

You may be right. I don't know how much a split second would make a difference in a real life combat situation. But, it does bother me that my ...

So, is there a way we can speed up the deployment speed somehow? I think I've already done all the lubing and screw adjustments I can without the knife falling apart...

I just got my Chinook 3. It's a pretty sweet blade. My only criticism is that the deployment of the blade is pretty slow for a MBC knife. Is it just me or are there others who also think that the blade deployment needs to be faster for Chinook 3? My guess is that the full flat ground blade is too ...

Hi, guys. I just got the Chinook 3. Freaking crazy looking knife, I love it! My question is how do I adjust the pivot screw. There's a torque pivot screw on both sides of the knife and when I turn one, the other turns. Do I need to use torque screw drivers for both sides simultaneously? I don't ...

I was wondering if anyone out there had a pic of the blade tips of Military, Police and FFG Endura. I remember the G10 Endura's tip was very thin. Does the FFG Endura have same thickness tip and the G10 endura? I would like to know how strong the tips of these blades are before purchasing.

Hi, all. Is VG10 a powder metal like CPM S30V? If not, is there a powder metal version of VG10 in the works? Does anyone know? Thanks!

Yes, I did swap the lock bar with it to maintain the fit.

I understand that each knives may have some variations, but I've done this before with my other Endura 4s to see, and they swapped just fine. I even swapped the USN Endura blade with the G10 Endura and that worked perfectly. Like Jay Ev ...

What I meant was when I took the Endura 4 blade and put it in the LWD knife, the knife would sink too much, and the LWD blade into Endura 4 handle would result in the blade sticking out too much when closed, so much so that the point of the blade would be placed outside the handle. I'm confused as ...

I took apart the LWD Glock knife and a Endura 4 to swap the blades and found that the blades do not fit in the other's handle. I was under the impression that the LWD glock knife was same as Endura 4, but clearly there's some dimensional differences between the two. Does anyone have any input on ...

Isn't Native 4 going to be a FFG FRN Native? Pretty sure Sal mentioned that along with FFG Endura FRN coming out..

I'd get 3.. but I would also like the option of black G10.

Exactly same thing happened to my USN Endura. I didn't use any protectant, I just used warm soapy water to clean it, then dried it.

And then I noticed it was turning red.. I was thinking it was somehow rusting.

Somehow I ended up gettin 2 Endura G10s instead.. LOVE THEM! The Endura line is definitely my fav.

Next month, I'll just go get the Citadel. It's just too cool! :spyder: I've talked to the store and they said they can ship it through them if there's a warranty issue. Hopefully that will work should ...
