Spyderco Forums

Love your books JL! My wife just mentioned last night that we need to pick up DBDA:Shattered Hourglass. I think I'll order it now. Keep it up!

Thanks for the giveaway!

My primary cutting tasks are cardboard boxes, zip ties, and opening clamshells. Spyderco's full flat grind makes slicing so much easier.

I visited the SFO after the new year. They had the knives displayed and didn't ask me not to talk about them. I am pretty happy with my kitchen knives so I didn't really inspect them all that well. They had regular steel (vg-10?) and damascus steel. There was an 8" to 10" chef's knife (gyu...

My first Spyderco was a Waved Delica 4. My latest Spyderco is the Chokwe and I love it! I was surprised to find that my passion for Spyderco's would lead me to give most of mine away as gifts. I have given away 8 knives to my friends and successfully converted 3 women and 5 men into edc knife people.

Hats off to the Spyderco crew! It was MUCH better this time around with the wristbands and having the knives on multiple tables REALLY helped make browsing possible. Here's what I got. CF m390 Military - $40 CTS-20CP Para - $60 Super Blue Caly 3.5 - $40 CPM M4 Manix - $40 ZDP -189 Stretch - $45 Endu...

That would be my pick!

My Manix XHP has a small rust spot where it says "Golden" on the blade. I live in Denver but never wore it out in the snow. I haven't really used it much since I got it. I am wondering if I left the blade wet after I sharpened it with the edge-pro. Either way, it is by far my favorite stee...

I would like a darker color like burgundy and VG-10 please!!!

Thanks everyone. I ordered the Caly today. Can't wait!!!

Hello everyone! I had been saving up all year for the Spyderco factory seconds sale but alas it is not going to happen this year. Instead, I will buy myself a nice new folder. I can't seem to decide between the Chokwe and the Caly super blue. I handled the Chokwe at the SFO and it was butter smooth....

That is what my XHP Manix looked like. It is a factory 2nd though.

I recommend reading a little on knifeforums. There are basically 2 styles of knife, German or Japanese. German knives tend to be thick and the steel is softer. Japanese knives tend to be thin and hard. I bought a Tojiro DP and couldn't be happier.

Great chioces! One thing I have to warn you about - The manix's ball lock is much harder to use one handed than the axis lock. I expected to be able to close it one handed but most of the time I can't. Otherwise, it is an absolute beast of a knife!!!

Me too

I like the idea of a spydie pen. How about a vegetable peeler?

What about the duck foot sharpener? It works like a one sided sharpmaker at a 20 degree angle. http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=253

Back on topic - I would love to see a S90V knife that isn't the military. Maybe something with a smaller blade to keep costs down? Also, while I like the military, it is just too big. and sometimes illegal to EDC. The Manix seems like a good choice.

I go tip to heel because it is easier for me to turn the blade to follow the belly.

Can you use the sharpmaker starting with the tip and pushing forward and down?

That's strange. I thought my military has too strong of a detent that makes it hard to open.
