Re: Seconds Sale Oddities - Receive anything weird to share? I did!

My Swamp Rat RMD has those. It was under the coating I stripped off. It's normal on some steels and would be ground/polished off. My guess is on your blade there the dimples went a little deeper than normal and when they ground the blade down to the proper thickness they didn't all get polished out....

Re: Using graphite and other dry lubes

I like Machine Gunners lube on my pivots, awesome stuff. I wipe the blades with Ballistol or mineral oil.

Re: Just lost my grail M390 PM2.

That really sucks man. My red M390 is my favorite as well. I'm lucky to live somewhere that I can clip the knife to my pocket and not worry about the police hassling me.

Re: Meer Kat

I have a maroon VG-10 version. Great little knife, the egos are amazing for being so small.

Re: Would s110v family sale better w/o Blurple?

I like my Blurple Para 2. The color and the steel are in my wheelhouse. If the s110v had come in black scales I wouldn't have bought it though.

Re: Lost knife

Losing a knife always sucks. At least the Endura and Delica are sub $100 knives and are a little easier to replace than other models. So far I have never lost a knife with a pocket clip on it (knock on wood).

Re: The Superior Delica

The Delica and Para 2 are my favorite Spyderco's by far. Last Spydie I bought was a foliage green partial serrated Delica. A lot of people say it's not enough blade to have partial serrations but so far I've not found that to be the case, for me at least, (and I have the matching Endura to compare i...

Re: Mourning for the brick and mortar stores

My daughter and son-in-law just moved to Amarillo and stopped by Knives Plus there. I've also been to Blade HQ in Utah and was impressed with the amount of knives and the people I delt with at both places.

Re: M390 PM2

I kick myself for not getting the DLT. I have the BBS and love it, but the red scales look better to me.

Re: Replacing the love of my life (PM2)

I have both those PM2 variants. Sounds like you are in a wet environment so I’d pick the blurple model.

Re: How did you discover Spyderco?

L.A. Boat Show in the mid 80's. Some guy had a display with the stainless handled Delica's and Endura's. I thought they were ugly and way too expensive. Man, I would have saved a lot of money if I would have kept thinking that way! Walked into a pawn shop while I was in college around 1995 and they ...

Re: K390 Urban LW back in stock

Been caring mine a lot since it arrived. Anyone else keep trying to disengage the back lock when they go to close it? Nothing but good things to say about this knife. I haven't had to touch up the edge yet. Working in a hospital with signs at all the entrances prohibiting any weapons I like being di...

Re: Meerkat in the house

That's my next Spyderco. I have a maroon/VG10 from the last sprint run and love it. Ergos on the Meerkat are insane for such a small knife. Great knife.

Re: My "sharpest at purchase" has changed

I can't remember the last Spyderco I got that wasn't stupid sharp. Hasn't mattered if it was from Golden, Japan, Italy, or Tiawan.
