Re: Signed up for ChatGPT, GPT-4
I have some questions about this: 1 Can these systems use AI patterns to find new materials and technologies that humans have not found? Example: Can you ask Chat GPT to find new knife shapes, designs, and materials for blades and handles that can revolutionize knife production, or not likely since ...

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...

Super Tough Cobalt Alloy: Knife worthy?
Hello to all the metallurgical experts on here such as Larrin and other folks: What do you make of this ultra tough cobalt chromium alloy? Would it be hard enough for knife blade use? https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8070 "Exceptional fracture toughness of CrCoNi-based medium- and...

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...
