greetings,
after looking at your photo, i can't figure why your right-side liner is showing. all my military's [4 of em] have the liners so deeply nested, you can't hardly see them looking straight down. also, you're stop pin look odd. was this knife ever disassembled? like i said, never saw a ...

seasons greetings to all the forum family. wishing you a happy, healthy and joyous holiday. may the new year be the best ever.

hello mr blond,
that wegner of yours has always been one of my all time favorites. fits the hand great, nice weight, solid lock-up and the right length for me. honestly a tough call between that and my military's. i do like the tip-down carry option that it lacks. otherwise a winner. that's a nice ...

greetings to all,
"BEST LOOKING"? that is a hard question. some of my knives [other brands included], look great but don't perform great. since we're talking spyderco, it has to be my military's. they look great, feel great and perform great. that nice wide flat-grind cuts like a laser. so i look ...

greetings all,
have the same issue with most back-locks. really like the enduras but the up-down "play" irks me. maybe am too used to liner-locks or frame locks. i think it's a design of the animal. if too tight, you couldn't open/close. will say some of my enduras are better than others ...

hello neospyder,
have the same problem with some endura's, not with others. try tightening the screw that holds the lockbar. it helped on some of mine and doesn't effect the opening/closing. it's not uncommon with some lockbacks. good luck.

welcome kris,
you've found a great place to be. my only question to you is, with 60 spydies, WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? best regards and welcome again.

greetings,
as always, great advice from the forum members. thanks zenith, on pointing out the liner/handle relationship. never thought about it affecting the lock-up. makes total sense. things shifting around. blerv and cheddarnut also mentioned the pivot screw. tightening does help. again, thanks ...

greetings all,
had to ask this as maybe somebody knows. how come some of my enduras/delicas lock up like a vault and others have some up and down blade play? not only spyderco's but have had others do the same. i realize when you grip them just right, the lock can depress slightly. the spyderco ...

greeting all,
i had posted a thread on the "other" spyderco website for some advice on sending my buddy's son a military for his 2nd afghanistan deployment. got some great advice from all including sal. so far he's loving it. in an armor maintenance unit so no rambo hand to hand. i was concerned on ...

greetings all,
TIP-DOWN. had an emerson open up [tip-up] and never looked back. i'll drill and tap if possible for a tip-down carry. best regards.
mike

greetings all,
hey sal, can we put that "testing" in overdrive? also don't hesitate to use the same brown frn as the endura/delica. can't wait. are we there yet? best regards to all.

hello recoil and deacon,
you guys hit it square on the head. it is a c54 calypso. i knew i could count on the forum. thanks much as you made my day. can sleep tighter tonite. thanks again. best wishes.

greetings all,
need some informative help from you spyderco "pros". have a one that's shaped like a "police". the blade is marked spyderco over vg-10 on one side. other side is marked "japan" only. it's a lock-back without the current dent relief. handle is what appears to be smooth black micarta ...

greetings again,
in response to blerv and deathbysnoosnoo, i only paid 105.00. a bargain no doubt. don't get me wrong, it is a nice, well made, functional piece. it was one of those purchases where i shot from the hip. bottom line is, for the money, i can get another para2. i guess i just like the ...

greetings,
had to comment on this post. my native-5 came and went. now i will say it felt great in hand and locked up solid. nicely crafted. my issue was the blade grind. it had the same uneven polishing as my 30.00 tenacious. strictly a cosmetic issue, but on a 199.99 knife, something that must ...

greetings,
even though this is a spyderco forum, i'll have to comment on the ZT line. they are what they are. an extremely well built, solid piece of cutlery. having owned [and still do] the 0200, 0300, 0301, 0302 0400 and 0350, i will say if a heavy tank of a knife is what you're looking for, you ...
