Spyderco Forums

Ok. I'm debating on getting an Endura4 FFG. I have a couple Delica 4's and I love them, perfect EDC. I have a PM2, and it's great but a little heavy and large at times for EDC. For EDC I like blades 3" or a little less.

However, I'm wondering if the Endura would fit the bill for as an outdoor ...

Thanks for all that had input. I opted for the Sage 1. It finally came today. WOW, what a great looking/feeling knife. My EDC has been a Delica 4 for a few awhile now. Nice to see it's not much bigger, but a little beefier. I'd be curious to see a FRN version of the Sage. But I'm good for now.

Thanks. It certainly has its strong points

Agreed, but out of my budget.

I'm looking for new Spydie and I can't decide. I don't want to buy something redundant, if there is such a thing. What I currently own of Spyderco is.

Para 2
Delica 4 x2
Tenacious
Dragonfly

I'm looking for an EDC, but aren't they all. I love the Para 2 but it's a bit large to carry at work ...

I adapted a long time ago simply due to the fact that the clips were molded and not reversible. Even now with all the clip options, I stay with it in a right-handed position in my right pocket. However that is only limited to my EDC/folding knives, if I carry a fixed blade I carry lefty.

Sounds like it's time for a road trip to Golden. :D

After 10 minutes with paint stripper and a little rubbing, the paint came off with a little ...

Thank you Kristi.

Thanks Clip for the link. That makes sense.

As good as possible with my phone. It was the same nickle color as the clip. Not as shiny, but the same color.

In my experience rust is a bad thing (duh). If this is that, I want to do something about it as rust does affect the performance and function of the knife. If not, I could care less. I've owned many knives for a very long time and this is a first.

I don't think his question was if it would affect cutting ability ;)

I had that same coloration on the tang of a para 2 I sold. Just a small little redish/copper color blotch. Never figured out what it was.

Is it a big splotch or just a small mm sized dot?


It's not a splotch, is a thin line ...

Doubtful.

I noticed last night a funny copper discoloration on inside the locking liner of my pm2. I don't think its rust, as I keep it clean and well lubricated. And I live in no humidity state. Thoughts?

It's not a deal breaker, but if it's something Spyderco doesn't know about I'm more than happy do to my part and let them know. I seriously doubt its a problem. Just odd.

Sounds like a variable tolerance in machining.

Ya think this is something Sal and Co should be alerted to? I don't want to come off as a whiner. But if I were in charge of production and qc I would want to know.

Exactly! Sorry for the cell phone pics.

Counter sunk.

While obsessing over my Para 2 today it really sunk home how much more counter sunk the screws on one side are than the other. Is any one else experienced this? I know it's probably purely cosmetic, but I'm curious if the scales are machined or hand drilled. Are they done in house or farmed out? I ...
