I wanted a nice pocket knife and I bought a Sage 1 after having read good posts about it. It all started when I opened it the first time and heard it click. I was amazed by the quality of the object, how we'll it cut, how smooth and precise it opened and closed. Then I bought a Military, and a ...

One minor possible improvement: the jimping on the black Delica offers nearly no grip at all, it is slippy compared to the non-coated version. The PM2 doesn't have this problem.

I just bought a Anza hunter, and I am waiting for the mail. They say that the blade is made from a file, but what steel exactly it's unclear. Any experience with this brand?

I see, yes I noticed that. The effect on the blade angle of tightening those screws is still a bit mystical for me, but your method works! Man how I love this knife...

Hey it works! I hadn't tried to play with the bottom screws, only the pivot and stop pin ones, I guess this was why the blade was always leaning toward one side. Many thanks Evil!!

I recently disassembled my PM2 to remove sand from the pivot area. I was able to mount it back without trouble (opening is smooth and lock is tight as before), except that the blade is now slightly off center. Not a big deal but it bugs me. Has someone encountered the same problem and managed to fix ...

For small cutting tasks (boxes, plastics), ZDP189!! My ladybug is the knife I use the most and which I have to resharpen the least often, and it's always like a razor!
For thick cardboards, light wood processing, I would say CPM S30V (clearly better than VG10 if I compare my PM2 to my Delicas ...

Yes, mine is tagged "EL" (built in May 2012) and has got black screws.

I'd love a folder version of the FP neck bowie. PPT is nice but what about this blade in a Junior:

holds up well! a few scratches from cutting aluminum cans

Does anyone know what the knife laws are in Brazil. I am visiting next month, and cant seem to find anything definitive on line.

Thanks,

It may depend on who controls you, but I understood that the general idea in south america (at least in Bolivia where I went) was that blades were ok as ...

and the dumbest cut test ever

Blade play in the Para2 is not an issue IMO. Due to the design of the compression lock it won't affect the safety.

Through the years blade play has become defined as 'any movement when pulling and pushing the blade' I mean some people will tug and pull on a blade and say there is bladeplay. IMO ...

Maybe give it a self sharpening blade?

I'd love that! :) What about removable serrations? Come on Sal...

Many requests about blade length! If the PM2 is essentially a scaled-down Military, it would be logical to rather upgrade the Military with a compression lock. On the other hand I guess that Military fans prefer the simplicity of the liner lock, and then it would make sense to propose a XL version ...

The PM2 will not be easy to improve. Just trying to guess if the same leap than from the original PM can be reproduced by Spyderco. What would be your requests?

[ATTACH]20940[/ATTACH] Hi,

I bought the ff Delika in orange a week ago. Love the knife! Ergonomics are perfect and also love the ffg.

Now thinking of buying a Delica in foliage green: Spyderco Delica 4 Knife Foliage Green FRN (2.88" Satin Serr) C11PSFG

Is it any good? do you like the serrations ...

The Sage1 given the fit and finish is a rotten dirty steal of a knife :) . Flat grinding, s30v, and CF add to the price. Country of origin isn't picked for cost savings so the product has very impressive F&F, even among Spydies.
I can't agree more. And besides the specs, there's something special ...
