Spyderco Forums

Yeah they both maybe on the bigger side for me but on the other hand I really want a knife I carry everyday. So I’m trying to decide if I need that knife to be the most comfortable in use and be a little bit bigger but able to do almost everything. Or have a smaller knife that I don’t really like th...

Or a para 3 lightweight?? To many options people!

Oh so many choises!! Although I keep narrowing it down. I’m currently on 4 choises. All with pros and cons. I know it’s blasphemy but they’re not al spyderco. -Benchmade proper. Pocketable and slim, but no clip. -Benchmade mini bugout. Axis lock and very slim, but exposed tang. -Chaparral. Slim and...

Oké so the opinions are quite universal, the chap over the lil native. Now to narrow down if it will Ben the chap or the sage. I’m leaning towards the chap now and a pm2 in the future for trying the comp lock.

Leaning towards the chap for pocketability

Well,I would 100% get the Chaparral. I´ll give you my reasoning, but keep in mind that this is true for what I personally like in knives, and mostly very subjective by that. - The Chaparral is only slightly longer in closed size, but a lot thinner, slimmer and lighter in carry, while offering over ...

Now that I was browsing the catalog the sage 5 caught my attention. Maybe the best of both worlds.. I only worry it is ‘to big’. I’m more of a small knife guy.

I’m trying to decide between a lil native and a chaparral. The chap has the blade shape I like and is nice and thin so great for office carry. However I read everywhere that the backlock is stiff and hard to disengage. The native has the ergonomic handle and compression lock, never had a compression...

I just dove in and got the squeak. Recieved it today and dare I say this little bugger is not going to leave my pocket for à Very long time! I've got à caly 3 wich is beautiful and à almost perfect edc eccept for its length. I live around à lot of nkp so it trends to scare people. The squeak is basi...

Hi, I'm looking for a new very small EDC knife. Currently I'm EDC'ing a SE Ladybug salt and love it. Now i'm looking at the squeak and although it looks very cool i'm wondering if i should pay € 70,- for it. Does anyone have experience with both knives? Does a Squeak give me something my ladybug doe...

Personally I find running with a almost full size knife way to "bouncy" in my jacket or even clipped. I carry a Ladybug H1 in case I need to cut some shoelace or something like that. I think a knife will do you little good against say, a german shepard (maybe if you carry a Warrior, but go...

Thanks guys, this was the little push in the back I needed :) starting tomorrow it's going in the pocket.
I've just recieved a nice fenix ld10 flashlight to accompany it.

I'll keep you updated!

Hey bh49, I already got it in my drawer for a year now. Thing is once I start using it I can't go back. Maybe I just started this thread to get the moral support to start using it. I dont know..

Thats the question :) . Oke, so last year for Christmas I gifted myself a beautiful carbon fiber Caly3, and I love it! Its one of the nicest knives I ever held in my hand, and put in my drawer... Thing is, it cost me € 130,- (about $ 175,-) and for me thats a lot of money for a knife. But the thing ...

Hai IrishSpyder22, maybe a foolish question but what is the tingy attatched to the revolver in the picture? Looks like a laser of some sort?

if searched but couldn't find. Do you know the tv show: how it's made? Where you see the manufacturing proces of all kinds of household items? Is there something like that for spyderco knives? A movie clip of some sort where you can see how a spyderco knife is born, cut, assembled, sharpened and so ...

So before I could take a decent picture the problem is solved. A friend of mine said I could put a razorblade between the CF and the metal, gently scraping the CF clean. then rub it with the back of a leather belt to remove the particles. Worked like a charm! clean line now, perfect knife!

Love the look and feel of Carbon fiber, but I hate so see it get damaged. for daily pocket carry I'll have to go with FRN. But I've never had a G-10 to compare it with.

I'll try to post a picture asap. Stange thing is, that its only on the spine-end. On the other side it's pefect. Maybe the slabs get a last grind when they're attached and the CF bent a little over the metal or something.

Maybe I'm just a bit of a nitpick but here goes: If I look at the spine of the CF Caly 3, where the CF slabs meet je metal of the backspacer, the CF looks a bit raffled. It's not a clean transition from CF to metal to CF. In the picture galery the are some pictures of the Balance's spine where it lo...
