Don't take it apart, that voids warranty. If it's bad I'd send it in to Spyderco. I really wanted a Chokwe when they went disco, very interesting knife, but the tip/blade is just too thin for my taste. If you ever end up getting one you won't regret it. The blade is thin, but as long as I don't sta...

Mine is also my smoothest opening Spyderco. I've carried mine a fair bit and lockup has always been about 35-40%. No play in any direction whatsoever...in fact I think it has better fit and finish than any of my other Spydercos, albeit by a thin margin. If it was mine I'd definitely send it in. My ...

I think my Chokwe is my smoothest-opening Spyderco. Mine hasn't developed any blade play, but due to the thin tip I have been careful in what I cut, don't want to abuse this one. That is not a defect, I knew it was a fine tip when I ordered it, just that I am conscious of that when I use it. I don'...

I was surprised also. I have not used it hard because I feel the tip is too thin. I don't spinewack my knives. However it is still my favorite knives.CanadaDude wrote:I didn't think that you could get up-down play with a framelock like that one. Did you giver it some heavy use or otherwise stress it?

Chokwe
I have had my Spyderco Chokwe for a few months now. I have to say it is my favorite Spyderco as of now. But as I was checking it today it has developed some up and down blade play. Does anyone have any advice because I don't want to void the warranty? Thanks in advance.

I have never looked at it that way and plus if it is a knife I really like it is hard to leave it sitting in a box to not use.Evil D wrote:There are no rules. I would imagine the collectors love users can cause they reduce the number of pristine specimens left for collecting and makes theirs more valuable. .

Using Exclusives
I want to get the knifeworks exclusives. So are exclusives for using or are they specifically for collecting? Thanks in advance.

Depending on what color you want to die it, starting from pink will limit your options. I know someone who tried to dye a Pink Manix 2 to blue and ended up with a dark purple. Whatever color you choose, you will have some red in it, so you'll have to pick a color with red and lean your color choice...

And construction knives are just fine, been around for a long time without issues. Some might even see it as a benefit as there's no screws to come loose or lose. As far as dying the knife there's only two colors of the FRN native available right now. Pink and black and you have to go darker for th...

I'm thinking about getting a Native. For a total newb to pinned knives are pins that bad? :rolleyes: Also if I wanted to dye the frn would I just put the knife in the rit dye with the blade since that seems like it is the only way because it is pinned? Thanks in advance.
