Spyderco Forums

in the world of online communities or nice knives :) I have to say I always read your posts and comments with respect.

Thanks for your comments.

Just starting to carry mine. Getting used to 1/2" more blade than my 3" bladed folders, takes a little reorientation.

Trying to decide if I want to continue carrying it. I know it's Sal's "personal" knife and all, but I'm curious why the finger choil is so shallow. I'm spoiled with deep finger ...

Damfan, do you like your zdp Stretch or GB more?

Interesting question.

Actually, when I got the stretch, I had to do a double and triple take - it really looks like G-10 rather than CF, especially with the tight "guilloche" pattern that provides nice grip but isn't so good looking to my eyes.

I ...

Damfan:

Super pics.

Is that a single carbon fiber I see sticking up in your pic?

Looks like a hard/brittle material.

Though I find it strange if it's one CARBON fiber. I'm not sure what it is, could be a very long "burr" of CF resin?!?

okay, NOW I get it.

:D

And why is it so "highly sought after" (based on asking and selling prices)?

This is not a "valuation" question, as I know that can possibly have no rational sense behind it, but rather is there any "user" or unusual design feature that I'm not getting (besides that unsightly "hump" that I guess ...

Wow damfan, nice pictures. I couldn't capture my stuff 1/10th as well as you did.

Get it, "bolster?" :D sorry, I couldn't resist.

Actually, the weave of the CF on this Walker Sprint run does provide some surface "pattern" that I like; I really love the Gayle Bradley (the quality is impeccable ...

Has anyone else experienced the problems that Donut has with the finish?



yes.

Disclaimer - this is not a flame or intended as a generalization about Spyderco quality!!!! (I can't believe simply showing these pictures on another forum and asking if these are "typical" for CF scales - which I ...
