Spyderco Forums

Both the stores that sell knives near me have a very limited selection and charge full retail. The closest cutlery store is an hour and a half away and charges full retail. The one store in town that carries Spyderco has one Spyderco knife, a Paramilitary gen 1 and it's $189. If it weren't for on ...

My G-10 scaled Military was tearing up my pockets too so I sanded (400 wet/dry in water) the G-10 and the problem was solved. The knife looks more refined, the traction is still good and no more shredded pockets.
You could probably do something similar with FRN or maybe even use heat. If you took a ...

Everything already said, and:
Don't be in a hurry and don't run the tip of your blade off the side of the ceramic stick at the end of the pass (blunts the point).

- best wishes, Jazz.

Isn't that the truth, maybe we can discuss Hannibal Lecter's Civilian next. :rolleyes:

Interesting video, I've wanted a Sage 2 for sometime.
What is the appeal or benefit of hybridizing a 1 and 2? Neither hybrid seemed as nice as the two original knives, to me at least.

If I want to buy Cold Steel products I know where to find them.

Besides, think of all the meat and car hoods Spyderco would have to buy to advertise them. :D

Primary: military
back-up: endura

I used to like combo edges but not any more. Now I much prefer a plain edge.

A permanent marker, a thesaurus and a Glock.

Any time I have a serious interest in a knife and start researching it I always find plenty of info and pictures of the model on the web. I really don't see any reason for Spyderco to add any more images to their catalogs than they already provide.

It's been a while. I always carry one of my 3 Spydercos and my Fallkniven U2.

Does anyone know when the Native 5 with FFG and G10 scales will become available?

I still have both my 1st Gen Enduras from the early nineties.

I really like the clip molded into the handle and the subtle texture on the clip side of the handles. I also like the raised area around the pivot, I'm not sure why it's there but it creates a continuation of the clip thickness for my ...

Colt Combat Commander-.38 Super /Cor-Bon +P 135gr.
3 Chip McCormick mags plus the one in the pistol for 41 rounds total.
no backup gun

No back-up gun, what if you use up all those spare mags? :D

What are you packing???

Today, a S&W 340PD and 1 speed strip for a total of 10 rounds.

So what are your stats?

I'm not a collector so the list isn't too long.
I'm guessing you're asking about Spydies so here they are:
Delica, plain edge (wife's knife)
Endura, plain edge
Endura, serrated
Military, plain edge
Paramilitary, plain edge

Are you sure you want to do that, really? You've got a couple of great knifes and there is no practical justification for painting them tan. Even in a hostile desert environment is it really going to matter?

Fallkniven F1
blade length: 3.8"

Fallkniven WM1
blade length: 2.8"

This says it all.
Grasp the blade by the Spyderhole, draw the knife from the pocket, flick the handle down and it's open. For me, it's faster than tip up. And yes, I have had tip up knives open in my pockets several times.
I don't see why anyone would prefer carrying tip up. I honestly don't see ...

KnifeWorks is pre-order only and $104.95.
I'm waiting for one too and no one seems to have them yet.

Also anyone have any experiences with Cutlery Shoppe, is it a reputable business? Jeff, the owner seems to have a following at Blade forum. Do a Cutlery Shoppe review search and you'll get results ...
