I think you have to request a repair slip for customs . This applies to Europe as a whole , on return spyderco will mark repairs . And no taxes will b...

Far as I know, the Centofante 3 has a screw pivot hidden under the clip, but I could be wrong. However, whether it's a screw or a rivet, tightening the pivot may cure side-to-side play, but not vertical play. the pivot securing hardware on this cento3 is a rivet on both sides. ty for the response D...

No worries, although the FFG Delica 4 originally came out without a Black version, it was introduced in Black in the 2012 mid-year supplement catalog. You have the genuine article.

I want to add that after using the MM stones you will have a very consistant scratch pattern that looks more like a blurry haze instead of scratches. It's really a pretty attractive edge. But if you want a mirror finish that is easily achieved with a decant strop. So, you don't need the expensive s...
