Spyderco Forums

There have been a few knives over which I have deliberated back and forth. This is one of them. Kept reading, evaluating reviews, looking a pics and videos ..... finally decided to just do it! Overall, glad I did and now realize I should not have waited so long! Obviously not a hard use knife, but i...

I don't know ..... to me, considering the new price and current availability, $125 seems reasonable .... especially if shipping and any other fees are included. Gun forums just might not be the best place to list. There are other avenues .... the BladeForum exchange, USN, and BST. I have seen LNIB g...

When I bought my Memory a while back, the included product info and warranty guide included was, to my surprise, not for the Memory ... but instead for the Puukko! Anyway, contacted Spyderco and Char sent me the correct version. Since I am really not attracted to the Puukko, don't see myself buying ...

Newbie attack; what the heck is that Cat mounted to and where can I buy one? It is the Wicked Edge sharpening system. This and the Edge Pro are considered by many to be two of the best guided angle sharpening system. Naturally .... I prefer the Wicked Edge. Between it and the Spyderco Sharpmaker (a...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54775629/Knives/Spyderco/Memory7.jpg Overall, well worth the wait. Maybe it is just me, or the fact that I have been spoiled with extremely high quality releases coming from the Taiwan factory ... but have to say, there are a few quality issues with this one. None so major t...

I have the LionSpy as well as two SR-1s. While a few people have indicated there were some fit/finish issues ..... all three of mine are flawless. Quite frankly, even with some of the best production knives ... fit/finish issues occasionally occur. Overall, (at least with the SR-1 series) I really l...

Mine's coming tomorrow! ... as is mine! Really looking forward to it. I had one on pre-order since the beginning of February. Unfortunately, sufficient numbers did not arrive to fill my order after they started to show up all over the place!! Thought about just cancelling the pre-order and buying o...

With all the pics coming in of the new Spyderco releases .... thought I would post pics of my newly acquired circa 2001 or so 1st generation Centofante Vesuvius with Paua inlay. Had often seen the serrated versions, but wanted to find a plain edge. Finally did and it can assume its place with my Cen...

July was such an expensive month for me for knife purchases ... that I debated getting the Techno. Certainly glad I just said the heck with it and placed my order! Haven't been this thrilled with a small knife in a long time! This is one solid, well-built, and capable little knife that doesn't feel ...

Congrats. Like others have said (and since you've now received it, you probably already know) .... you are going to love this knife! It is the knife I gift most often. (Still think I have a couple stashed away, just waiting for the right occasion and person.) Just had a friend visit me from Maine wh...

Nice knives I'm really trying to resist a snakewood Damascus. Don't you know ..... resistance is futile!!! However, like DC said .... hunker down for the long haul .... it's going to be a long wait to have one made. Only other option is being in the right place at the right time! But, that's true f...

http://spydercosource.com/page/6/ Scroll way down to the salsa then just below it each one is described I think I understand ... well, maybe. They couldn't use GR, since it was used for the Green model. Don't really understand why TN rather than GY or GRY, but okay. What is even more strange to me ...

Just spent a good deal of time reading and searching, but can't find the answer to my question. Just bought a gray aluminum Salsa. This one lists the model number C71TNP. I know the C71 is the number for the Salsa and the P is for plain edge. But ... what is the TN. The old Salsa models listed on th...

Yessir, if you bought that snakewood sebbie within the last year or so, it came from the pile in my basement (well it came from suriname originally, but at one point it was in my possession... you know what i mean). Yup ... birth date on that Sebenza was May 30, 2012 ..... so it was most likely you...

I have done some business dealings with the reeves, those of you who have been here a while might remember how excited I was when I first sold them snakewood. Now I am the exclusive provider for the snakewood used for inlays on all CRK knives. You mean I have you to thank for the wood on this beaut...

Super nice! Saw that some retailers had them in stock .... but since I have one on pre-order, decided not to purchase another, but to just wait for the pre-order to be filled. Now I really am anxious!!

P.S. - on the plus side, I found some time to hand sand one of my new Mule Scales. I'm just about finished with it - Lignum Vitae on a ZDP-189 Mule... :) Please do post a pic when it is finished! Lignum is by second favorite wood ... absolutely stunning and has a fascinating history! (Taking the nu...

L ....

Well, if the Military had to fall .... better onto the pavement that into your foot .... tip first! Wait .... let me think about that for a second. Yeah ... prefer the pavement to my foot!

Glad you caught that! I was going to put it in quotes .... but figured I'd just wait and see! But, back to the original, pretty sure it was Sal who indicated the the QC issues.

I read somewhere (either here or over on the Spyderco section of BF) that they were received in Golden last month, but, while undergoing QC, a problem was found and they had to be sent back to Japan to correct whatever issue(s) were discovered. Keep in mind, my memory isn't what it used to be .... b...
