Crucible Steel Mill Tour

Using my super secret powers, me and my dad (both spydernuts) have somehow pulled off two tickets to a tour of the Crucible Steel Mill in Syracuse at the end of June! It is an event for "friends and family" of the company, with food and a tour of the mill. We called a while ago and asked for a tour ...

MT09 Cobalt Video

Hey Guys, Im a huge spydie fan, and am a daily visitor of the forums. My participation, however, is mostly on YouTube. But, because I have not seen much about the Mule Team 9 Here, I thought it would be okay to show my video of it. I am making a video series of the entire process behind my first ...

I know everyone on here seems to love it, but Im not a huge fan. It is more difficult for me to get my fingers around and depress than the ball bearing lock. It might just be a break in period, but I like the manix 2 a bit better

I say FRN UKPK all the way. Different color FRN than the production models, and keep the blade simple as well. Cheap, simple, easy. I think the majority would be pleased.

I got my black baliyo in and after playing with it after a while i noticed this happened to me on both sides! The black plastic has cracked and seperated around the metal rings on each handle. I didnt even think to send it back until reading this, it just seemed like a trivial chinese made plastic ...

Personally the ergos of the native line do not fit my hand nearly as well as other spydies, and the lack of a thumb ramp of any size is pesky. Also, the partially obstructed spyder hole when in the closed position is something that annoys me. Regardless, the native 5 will be on my list for the g10 ...

Interesting discovery. My orange G10 UKPK has a CC# on it, therefore it was in the first batch ever (Jan-08) according to the box. NO index jimping!
