Spyderco Forums

I don't post often but not seeing enough CPM M4 or Manix love...

Not forced patina, everything from brake fluid, food prep, fishing, skinning, yard work has contributed.

Voted Axis because I carried the same one for 5 years and never had it fail. Every type of task possible was done in that 5 years... then it was stolen :( I still carry a CPM M4 Ritter Grip, and a M390 Griptillian Sprint. Got 2 Manix 2's in M4 that I hope to prove as strong because I prefer the ...

Although not a Spyderco, I have an XM-18 that had a similar easy failure using a RIL style lock. I can re-create it easy and it seems I was doing something very similar to the OP. Given that the XM-18 is suppose to be a tank I posted this failure on there thread on BF and got attacked almost the ...

I may be horribly off base but the title says "3 knives, 3 materials, all sharp, which is sharper, in order?" Yet everyone is listing 4 knives... Is the Obsidian even an option or is it pictures just so people see the potential prize?

I have been lurking on the forums a bit and I have a question. I like sprint runs for unique steels and such but with all the different dealers and different sprints... how do you know when one is out, when you pre-order, when one is going to come out? Is there a email distro? Do you just look for ...

Malice since you shoot Canon, are you a member of PoTN? That sight as cost me roughly $7k... If i had to do it all over... I would of probably spent more. About to upgrade my 70-300 is to a 70-200 f/2.8 IS.

thanks for all the replies, I bought the GB yesterday. Since nothing else has M4 what is the next step down in blade steel in terms of wear resistance? Is it D2? Spyderco has blade steels I have never heard of before.

i just got my first real auto like...10mins ago. It's a gerber and I really figured the opening mechanism would be different from the cheap ones you see in the flea market but it isn't, it is still the same and I am not all that impressed with it. It is too heavy, and I do not trust that the opening ...

you all have some beautiful knives and I am not trying to sound like a jerk but.... do any of you use or carry your knives or just collect? The all look so pristine clips get scratched no matter what if you carry them... or atleast mine do. Anyone got pics of some well used knives? imo they are so ...

Ok, I only have one Spyderco, Pacific Salt. I am about to buy another one, and it looks like it will be the Gayle Bradley, then a Manix, then a stretch.... Spyderco's are too pretty for just 1. Anyway I was looking at there catalog, is the Gayle Bradley the only folder with M4? I really want to test ...
