Re: New Sage 3 CF; thinner edge grind?

I also recently got a recent production Sage 3 CF on the secondary market as well. Mine is ground very, very thin behind the edge, at least as thin as my VG-10 Caly 3.5.

Re: What Makes Them "Value Folders"

Re: Torx screw instead of rivet for the Manix 2 Black FRCP pivot?

As far as I know, all of the Manix Lightweight models switched to a torx screw pivot instead of a rivet at least a year ago- surely in response to people who feel just like you do and let Spyderco know about it. Spyderco listens to their customers! All of the Salt knives I have received in the last ...

Re: NIB Caly 3.5 lliner thinning and blade grind issues.... Send it in or not?

No XXs on the box, and the mar on the blade does not match the factory second notches, which I had never known about, but it's good to know that. I understand that ti is hard to see what I am talking about in the awful pics, I KNOW what I am looking at, but you guys don't. I have tried multiple diff...

The liners are normal. I can't tell from your pictures what the mark on the blade might be. If you bought it from KnifeWorks, then give them a call and see what they say. They are a very good company to deal with. Add: Here's a thread that discusses the liner grind marks. http://www.spyderco.com/fo...

Re: NIB Caly 3.5 lliner thinning and blade grind issues.... Send it in or not?

Thanks for confirming the liner thinning was normal. I had never seen it mentioned before so I didn't know. My right liner is still ground quite extensively, but I guess that was part of perfecting the centering? It is perfectly centered. I should be able to just knock the burr at the top of the bla...

Re: NIB Caly 3.5 lliner thinning and blade grind issues.... Send it in or not?

The reason I have not jumped to return it is because their policy statement makes it clear that they intend to resell returned items as if new, and I don't want another guy to buy this one and feel the same way I do. Heck, the knife I have may well have been a return. No tape on the box... But I hav...

The site has a big disclaimer stating that they don't sell any factory seconds, but I agree it kinda looks that way.

Re: Fixed blade with a pocket clip?

Does the sheath stay on the knife as you draw it? How do you remove the sheath? If it pops out of the sheath while you draw it, how do you keep from cutting the corner or edge of your pocket? How do you safely resheath? I have EDC'd fixed blades occasionally, usually appendix IWB but sometimes I wou...

NIB Caly 3.5 lliner thinning and blade grind issues.... Send it in or not?

I received a brand new Caly 3.5 from Knife Works last week, and I had been really excited to get the knife, even made a forum post about it. Sadly, it seems to have some weird issues I am hoping you can give me some advice on... There is a serious mar in the top of the right grind and blade spine. T...

Re: Would you trade a Manix 2 XL for a PM2 ? Good deal ?

More than a fair trade, although I always opt for the USPS option. I've done trades from Ohio to California, and even sent knives to people in the UK. Knife trading is a whole new level of Spyderco addiction haha. Welcome to the club!
