Spyderco Forums

This are proto pics right? I think I saw some newer ones that look more refined over on bladeforums(the quality was alot less though).

fossil steel. inexpensive, keeps pretty good time, been running on the same battery for about 4 years now. only problem I have with it is the second hand never lands on the second ticks as it rotates, always off by about 1/50th of a mm. oh well. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 alig...

bahaha

this has to be some sort of elaborate joke.

"To each their own, don't judge lest ye be judged. Who are you to say one is right and one is wrong. Freedom of choice is what this great country is based upon. If you don't like it don't buy it. Don't critize me cause I have one. " I don't beleive I was doing any of those things. I was ju...

People see the rebel flag as a symbol for the confederacy, which it is. When people think confederacy, they think slavery. I've seen people upset over MUCH less likely corrolations so it doesn't suprise me that the rebel flag offends many people. Also I don't see why anyone would take pride in the c...

My calypso jr doesn't line up perfectly either, but the lockup seems really solid and i can't even wiggle the blade in any direction.

it looks like someone snapped their police then reground it with a seatbelt cutter tip. heh.

joyce explained this in a post on bladeforums: -------------------------------------------- Hi All, Great fun meeting so many of you at Blade! We displayed 40+ new concept and prototypes at the show. As many of you know, concept knives for us are 'an idea in a tangible form' which we show to the pub...

I prefer the native as well, but for 25 bucks I can't resist that calypso for a backup. The main thing I like more about the native is the fatter handle and the more pronounced finger choil. I could see my hand slipping onto the calypso blade with heavy work(of course this knife seems to be more of ...

Nice collection of <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s! No wonder he couldn't resist the bug.

I had actually planend to redo all the 2+ year old dull kitchen knives for my mother when I got my sharpmaker. I whipped it out and grabbed her first knife, and sharpened until the rods needed to be cleaned twice without getting the blade to grip my fingernail. I then gave up. I must of spent half a...

My name is Ian. I'm from Kansas(Wichita) and I turn 20 in september. I'm currently attending Wichita State University working on a B.S. in Computer Engineering. Got my first spydie 6 days ago (besides the ladybug I got when I was about 8 I think) and I am very pleased with it. Edited by - Gurgi on 6...

Eraser eh? What a great Idea. That would be alot less messy, plus comet seems to make my hands smell for the rest of the day<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

blarg. the native arrived all scratched up and with a wiggly blade. sending it back for an exchange. ARGGGH

I don't know about quick and easy, but I find the way described in the video works fine. Just get some comet and one of those green scouring pads ands just scrub em up good then wash em off.

It couldn't happen to me! I have it all justified see? I got my native for large cutting tasks, the calypso for emergency cutting tasks, and now I need a small one for small utility<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

When I ordered the calypso I thought it was going to be smaller than it was. I had planned to use it as a small knife for lighter cutting duty. Now I'll have to get a meercat or a cricket for that purpose! ****<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Well, I don't have a dremel. They don't seem that expensive though and they would be usefull for any number of things. Is there any model number you would suggest? Thanks.

I just got my first spyderco knife and I'm blown away! I had finally decided to order a spyderco, and after some research decided on the plain edged native lightweight. I was looking around online after I had ordered it, and I noticed that eknifeworks.com had the calypso jr. serrated lightweights on...

I went ahead and got a native lightweight plain edge instead<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> so much for the meerkat hehe. It will have to wait for now.
