Re: Please remove MAP pricing forever!

I hope this doesn't sound ignorant but can you all please give me a basic summary again of what MAP is? Is my understanding correct, that it sets a rule that any official retailer or knife seller whom works with and purchases their knives from Spyderco for resale to the public must agree to a minimu...

Strongest Known Blade Lock for Spyderco Knives?

Out of every blade-lock ever used on all known Spyderco folders, which one is truly the strongest and closest to transforming the opened knife into a fixed blade knife as far as safety goes? I have heard it would be the Puzzle Lock by Mr. Bram Frank. Bram is, as many of you may know, the designer of...

Re: Unusual, and/or Paranormal Events

I don't like to watch the videos of it because it seems very eerie, but I saw some recent news article that claims a family had a "possessed doll" and they recorded it moving and climbing out of it's toy basket or something under it's own power.

Re: New Byrd knife with a hard to open button

Dear LynneV: Welcome to the Spyderco Forum. If you have arthritis, you might be better served with a lock mechanism that requires less strength to operate. Most byrd knives are back locks, which have strong springs. You might find a linerlock--like the Raven--easier to operate. Stay safe, Mike Hell...

The original Stretch would have peformed well in this regard, I believe.
Some of the Spyderco fixed blades would also work well in this application.
