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...

Am I the only one who isn't a fan of VG-10?
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...

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...

Never thought I'd say this, but a DULL NIB Spyderco?
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...

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...

Ambitious feels gritty when opening?
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...
