Dodo has landed

I just have to tell someone. I just got my new dodo blue PE. This knife just looks and feels great. After all my searching I think I finally found the perfect EDC. If anyone is thinking about getting one I'd highly recommend it. I can't wait to use the heck out of it.

Spyderco Question

Hello all, I recently worked a trade for a Ti Salsa. Great knife. Anyway there is a number engraved on the blade, can someone tell me what the number might mean?



Thanks, Joel

Another salsa ?

OK, I've had the aluminum salsa for a while and the more I handle it and carry it the better it feels. My question is- how do these seem to be holding up for people? I'm torn between carrying it or my frn native. Because the salsa feels light it gives me the feeling it isn't as strong as the native....

I figure it'll make Michigan in 2-3 days by UPS hopefully,( he told me UPS has missplace one of his cust.'s orderes at the moment). Thanks for steering me...

Wire edge, I'm sorry, I would also like input from you or anyone with alot of experience using and sharpening the new blade steels. I value all the advice I can get, especially from experienced knife users. I know its hard to tell someone what to use because everyone has different needs, but I still...

New native III ?

This question may have already been answered, but, I've heard the new native will have VG-10 blade steel why did they decide to switch from S30V? Were they finding problems with this steel? Also is the native III going to replace the current model or is this just a special run?

JOE, If your out there, I want a blade that will hold a very sharp fine edge. I like the blade to feel razor sharp. Most of my cutting is light to medium ( food ,paper,cardboard boxes,etc..) In your opinion would I be better to go with someting like VG-10 or the S30V? I don,t mind sharpening once in...

My New D-Fly

Well I got my new "fly" SS PE. A very nice knife. My only complaint is with it being new and the narrow handle it is a little hard to open. I'm sure it will break in. But I won't get to experience this since it was confiscated after one day (By my wife). So now I'll have to buy something e...

Blue FRN Delica ?

OK. I have never seen one in person so can anyone tell me what shade blue the handle is? The only picture I've seen (on blade art web site) the color looks more like a light blue. Does it look good in person or do most people prefer the black? For some reason I think it would be cool to have the blu...

So between say VG-10 and ATS-55, will most people see any difference in performance in normal everyday tasks? Besides the intermittent corrosion problems some people encounter.

VW thanks for the quick info.
Just out of curiosity-how did you loose the tip? Is this more of a weaker spot than normal or just one of those little accidents?

Ok--What do you think almite navigator w/VG-10 or SS dragonfly w/ ATS-55? In this size knife for everyday general use do you think I would notice any difference in the performance of the steels? I was thinking of the "fly" because I think I like the slightly different shape of the blade (c...
