Sage 1. Quickly followed by Sprint Para2, Cento4, Spin, and a handful of Mules.

Welcome! It gets addictive fast and expensive even faster. I've acquired 10 in the past couple of months and even picked up a couple of Busses. I'll undoubtedly end up with more Spydies since they're constantly offering new and different steels, unlike Busse.

As for the sharpmaker, I find it does a ...

Just curious what this marking on the blade indicates. Noticed it on my Cento 4. It's right next to the insignia. None of my other knives have it.

I looked at Halpern and Cuscadi. As much as I like the Cuscadi (wood & cf scales), they're 60 euros (90 USD) per set not including int'l shipping. Plus, Halpern is in MA, so shipping should be fast.

How does the silicone sealant work? Just use it like epoxy? I'd like to get some liners as well. Do ...

Awsome, I did the same thing. Para2, Tenacious SE, and a spin within 2 weeks. Btw where did you get your spin?

Amazon of all places. Also picked up my Sage 1 from Amazon. The rest were obtained from BF, Spyderco, online retailers, and the local Woodcraft. So, including my Para2 Sprint, that makes ...

Thanks for the info. I don't mind it. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't an indication of a fault or possibly a fake.

Kinda went crazy on the spydies this week. Woulda been crazier if I could have found the other two mules I was looking for. But then again, kind of glad that I didn't. . .

Now the proud owner of a Spin, Cento 4, Mule 10, Mule 11, and Woodcraft :D

I just picked up a used MT10 BD1. I noticed the holes have odd drill markings where it looks like the bit went in. Would this make it a second? Is this normal or considered unusual?

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I just hunted down a cento 4. Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and invest in a round knife.

Any update on this? I'd be interested.

Yes, it's bad at not setting off metal detectors! I tried to take one into a federal building and was told that I could either surrender it (and not get it back) or leave the property and stash it. There was no option to leave it with security and retrieve it upon exiting. But then, none of that is ...

Try washing the stones. Everything needs maintenance, including the stones. Instructions say to use an abrasive pad & powder soap like comet, but I only had liquid soap and I could still notice a difference. Just make sure to use an abrasive pad.

So I've been getting into leather crafting and for the cost of a good head or round knife, I'm tempted to just buy another Spydie, but which blade type and material would be best for the job?

Do any leather crafters use a specialty knife like a Rose, Osbourne, or Gomph? Any pros/cons to a round ...

Any details on who does it?

Well, after many years, I finally decided to buy a Spydie. 2 actually: Sage 1 & Para 2 (CTS20CP). I was seriously contemplating a Para 2 CF with S90V, but I thought 2 knives was better than 1. Anyway, I'm anxious for my new EDCs. I plan on EDCing these with a suit and tie. I think the Sage is better ...

Thanks! Was watching some auctions on ebay, but this beats them by a mile!

How many sprint run Para 2s are in circulation? Does anyone know if anyone is faking this one (gray, CTS20CP)? I'd hate to drop $200 for a knock off. There are several on ebay (US site), but I don't know if they're legit.
