Spyderco Forums

You guys are way off. The lobbying groups for criminals and trial lawyers are to blame for this, they are nothing without each other and both of them want you defenseless, otherwise neither could find much work... Oh, and if you want to blame a movie, that mugging scene in Crocodile Dundee was a ...

Those were the days... Back when the blade stayed sharp forever, but chipped like crazy!

Get the Diamond rods then sell the Gatco you will never use it again unless someone borrows your Sharpmaker and never returns it... Say can I borrow your Sharpmaker when you get it? :)

If you can wait for it, usually the prices drop during the Christmas season on Amazon when stores are really competing for your business.

The Sharpmaker is a great deal. Just add a leather strop with some jeweler's rouge to the process and after a little experience it will perform as well as the more expensive sharpening systems.

I usually get it the next day, unless it is backordered... Of course, it helps to live less than 15 miles from CS. :)

Pics?

This should make short work of that scratch:

If you don't baby the blades then the real difference is with you. If you are anal about your edge and can't handle chips you will probably be more happier with VG-10.

Still, people are gonna gripe and moan that a $60 knife can't be disassembled like a box of Legos and that it might (a big might) develop play over a decade.

The Ball Lock should take care of the up and down play of the blade and a good ball peen hammer will take care of the side to side... The ...

That's an important point. Many people who are new take his words as gospel because oh he knows so much, but to many people here what he says is nothing new, it's just another person's opinion.

Although he usually backs up his opinion with video proof of actually testing the knife. I think his ...

Boy, it's true, Haters gonna hate.

First off, I already had the Manix2 Translucent before he posted his hiking videos showing it and it has been my EDC blade since I bought it, I love it.

I don't really mind his humor or his maturity, it is much better than the monotone reviews we see all over ...

Can I prepay now?

Wow! Super cool. How are the Forum knife sales handled, via the Spyderco online store?

Whether Spyderco supports the NRA or not has nothing to do with the quality of its products. Unfortunately, every rights issue has become a political plaything and sometimes the best way to avoid becoming a casualty is to keep ones own counsel.

I read American Rifleman every month and have never ...

Sal,

Thanks for answering. I really didn't mean to stir the pot, I know politics is a hot topic that usually doesn't lead to anything productive on the forums, I really just wanted to know if there was a chance that you would be there.

Say, what is the name of the show is in Eugene? I live close ...

If Spyderco does not have a presence at the NRA convention I could understand why. The NRA is already more about politics than it is about hardware. Of course, the two go hand in hand these days, but why would Spyderco want to get involved in that? I'm an NRA member, but don't necessarily agree ...

I was looking at the exhibitor list for the NRA convention in St. Louis in April and did not see Spyderco on the list. This may be my first year going to the convention and was wondering if Spyderco normally shows up for this convention or if they just can't make it this year for whatever reason. I ...

I saw the title of this post and thought you had been taken into one of those private rooms with Bubba, the TSA agent with the biggest hands and that "Deliverance" creepy smile on his face.

I'm waiting for Sal to chime in and tell us that is a prototype, then watch the bidding war! :)
