Got a call this afternoon for updated CC info, and received an email a little while later that the order has SHIPPED! Even though I've got some of their exotic Para 2 sprints, I still cherish my first Para 2--the Black/S30V. It's still my #1, and will probably be a safe queen for a while after the n...

I brought Squeak and Dragonfly2 H-1 with me to NYC. No problems at all, except when I forgot to remove the Squeak from my camera bag which I brought to the WTC Memorial. It was taken by security, and I was given a claim ticket to pick it up after we finished the tour. That was it. I always had a kni...

Bento Box has been great to work with, and the Manix2 M4, Lum Tanto, and the Para2 M390 come to mind. I may have ordered some other blades from them, but I remember those right off the top. If you're on the fence regarding the Para2 M390, just bump it to the top of the list--it's that good. M390 sha...

Thank You, Spyderco W&R

From the time the web request for assistance was entered, to the call from C. at the Warranty & Repair department, and finally to the receipt of a functional and complete C41GP5, my experience with Spyderco's customer service was first-class. Thank you for taking time out to fix my knife. I am s...

I like the Native5 a lot. Had some trouble with the screws for the clip coming loose, and I could never find the right screw from one of the dozens of other Spyderco blades in my collection that worked. Put in an e-mail and a call to Customer Service, and was informed that the screws are all differe...

I just walked through the assembly area of the factory and was pleased to see a number of busy hands assembling Yojimbo2s. I know that our management folks do their best to allocate stock as equitably as possible, but back orders on this knife are significant. I have no way of knowing when knives w...

C41GP5 Torx #6 clip screws

Guys, Has anyone had their clip get "wobbly" on the Native 5 (C41GP5) model? I noticed that the clip was not tightened all the way down when I pulled it out of my pocket, and found that one of the screws (Torx #6) had come loose and was missing. I tried tightening the remaining screws down...

I would buy one. The Military and PM2 M390 knives are among my favorites. I also agree with the XL/Green configuration.

Dragonfly2 is probably one of my most used Spydies. I have the yellow H-1/SE version sitting in the kitchen by the sink, and I am pretty sure that I use it at least once daily, if not 10 times daily.

Congrats on your new D'fly2!

Woohoo!!! Rec'd an e-mail at 01:19 this morning, requesting CC info. Spoke to someone there this afternoon, and was told that it should be in my mailbox by Friday. I only ordered one, because that's all I need.

Thanks, CS!
