Thanks Blerv! I do love superblue. I'll have to follow that

Also, blown away Sal himself got in on this. It's an honor!

Holy smokes! I didn't expect that much feedback so quickly. And not a single brick was thrown through my window today! I guess what I wanted to say, but failed to get across, is that I love 99% of Spydercos designs, but sometimes a steel like VG-10 doesn't always fit the needs of some. Whether it be...

Hey folks, I've already locked my doors, so I feel I can safely post this. First of all, I will always buy Spydies, and they will always hold a spot in my heart, wallet, and pocket. I feel like I can honestly say VG-10 may be one of my least favorite steels. As far as sharpening goes, I find it take...

I'm a weird one. I sharpen freehand, using water stones. I always achieve a mirror edge, that can wittle hair. I tried paper wheels once, I've never had so many recurve kitchen knives. For some reason, sharpening on something round is alien to me.

Have they all been through the same place? Nope, three different dealers. I think I've just been spoiled as far as out of box sharpness. Now that I know that it's done by hand, I'm very impressed with the evenness of the edge. I think I might play around with the Vallotton's blade a bit, I'd love t...

With spydercos I normally let the factory edge dull out then put my own on ( The always have the perfect amount of tooth to them)

Gorgeous edge! I mean lock up as in the lock up on the knife, how strong it is. Also, I'm very sad I missed the M390 Millie

Hey folks, I have something that's not so much a complaint, as an observation. In the past 3 months, I've purchased 4 spydercos, a Fred Perrin fixed blade, Vallotton, Centofante3, and an Endura 4 ( non ffg) The first thing I check for when I open a new knife, is to see what the edge is like ( second...

REM oil is also worth its salt. I just prefer sewing machine oil while breaking them in, because it lasts forever. Once its broken in, I'd use something like tuffcloth,mineral oil, or REM oil to aid with rust resistance.

I have a military for every sort of occasion! I work a desk job ( eeeewwwwwwww) SO, I took the liberty of redoing a Militarys handle to mimic Striders CC handles to reduce the printing. I also have a Military for my dashboard, one for my tool belt, three for edc ( different colors for different days...

Hey there, I had a similar situation when I got my Vallotton. I just gave a few drops of sewing machine oil to the pivot, and played with it for an hour or so until it smoothed out. As Evil D said, it's always best to let it work itself out, rather than dicking around with the pivot. I actually have...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I spent 4 hours at the office opening and closing it, and no change in the sandy feeling while opening/closing it. I took it apart again, and lightly sanded down the detent ball, then polished the tang/detent ball up to a 2000 grit wet/dry. The knife is now silky smo...

Hi folks! This is my first post here, so please let me know if I'm in the wrong area. A month ago, I added an Ambitious to my collection of spydies ( got bit by the spyder about 7 years ago) And I'm very happy with it as a toolbelt knife. My only issue is the opening. When I try and open it, it feel...
