Re: On second thought, why not try something different.

I'm liking the feedback I've gotten on my post. Yes, I'm a grumpy old man with way too many Spyderco's, if there is such a thing. I too look at steels, country of origin, and lock design when making my decision on what to carry. Especially for the carry component. It is nice to hand someone a knife ...

On second thought, why not try something different.

The ongoing results occurring in the " Let's settle this once and for all." thread gave me pause. Well, I’m humbled! I collected Spyderco’s for years and slowed way down when so many knives and makers went tactical. The Military, too large for me, the Para 2 the same, I had a bit of intere...

Re: Any Spyderco Q (C35) knives out there hiding????

Hey there USA, You've picked one of my favorite knives. I amassed quite a few back in the day, though my collection has dwindled as time has passed. Here is some eye candy of what I have owned or still own. I need to do an inventory since I've slowed my buying and selling. I could only load a few. M...

Re: "New" design

I like that you mixed in the Lava. What a great little big knife. It locks into your hand and gives you total control of the blade. I don't have a Insistant but imagine the ergos to be very similar.

Re: It's a lonely pursuit...

I wrote this last month and waffled on posting it. Now this thread comes along, and this seems to fit. Show and tell at 65: I thought I’d write about an interesting day I had recently. I’ve lived in a small town for seven years since retiring. I found golf to be a challenging way to fill much of my ...

Re: Anyone else concerned?

Interesting question, I’ve been a huge Spyderco fan early on. I’ve amassed a fairly large collection though really since the Military craze; I have lost much of my passion. Please don’t get me wrong, I think that the Military, Paramilitary, and the Para 3 are great knives. Just not for me. I started...

Re: Spyderco Q possible prototype???

I finally have had a bit of time to look through my collection. In inspecting 5 of my 1st Gen Q's, 2 show the same rough plastic at the pivot area, 3 are much better in how they were molded. This input from me is not to prove or disprove anything. It's just observations I've made on some of the kniv...

Re: Spyder Classics: The C-80 Dodo model

Hey JD, I've always enjoyed the feel of the scales on the Dodo as well as the Yojimbo since they seem so similar in many ways. When I think about the control over the blade that a large handle knife like the Dodo gives the user, nothing but confidence is instilled in me when using. The extended scal...

Re: Teaching a rookie to sharpen serrated Spyderco on Tormek

Okay, I hate to be critical though there is not much I like about this sharpening video, though I can learn from good and bad techniques. First off, I'd hate to be this rookie and second, this method really shortens the life of the serrations. I never attack the serrations from the flat side grind a...

Re: Meerkat phantom lock

The Meerkat is a very nice knife and the lock works well. Me being a right hander when trying to use this knife with my left feels a bit awkward though know that anything I do left handed feels awkward. The oddity though comes from pulling with the thumb and pushing with the fingers rather than how ...

Re: Spyderco Online Seconds Sale FAQ

My question is: Are we able to combine items for shipping? Since knives are only secured after purchase many buyers may choose to make multiple purchases.

Re: Completely Forgotten Spyderco Models: Your Favorites?

Hey JD,

The Golden Meerkat was only made with the leaf blade and I think in plain edge.
