Spyderco Forums

Hi Blake, Thank you for the very professional reply. I totaly understand about companies taking a stance and don't like the fakes as much as anyone. I don't know anything about Spyderco's finances and I'll be the first to admit that I do have a little attitude about sending work to CHINA. The way ou...

Hi Sal, Sorry it happened again. You got in between my last reply. It is true and I was a witness to it as I was working for that company at the time. It made me totaly disgusted especially since the person I'm talking about thought he was GOD ALMIGHTY. To this day he is still making a fortune in re...

BLERV, Thanks for jumping in. Please don't take my last post personal as I hadn't noticed you got in before I could reply to RYCEN.

RYCEN, I apologize if I sounded rather rude in my last reply as I thought the statement from blerv came from you, which kind of surprised me.

SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION.

I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but yes you obviously misunderstood me and missed something! You were the first to state China doesn't respect patent laws and not once do I see any CHINA bashing. A fake is just that but could easily be made 100% accurate and reliable if needed (which you even ...

I think we both understand and respect each other or we may have been arguing by now. That is the last thing I want as we are obviously both knife enthusiast. So far you are the only one that really seems to care about the problem. You are correct I was referring to CRK'S and that is my point> how l...

Like I said I'm not a strictly SPYDERCO user/collector. However I have been following the knockoffs of a quite pricey knife that everyone knows or has at least heard of and believe me they are putting in the effort but they supposedly can't sell them because they are patented. Trust me they do have ...

Yes I may be overthinking the situation. It appears that they make a copy that is just good enough to fool some people and then when the flaws are brought out they continue to correct them. Let me ask you where do you think they get this information from? They correct issues only when people make it...

I personally think this happens more than we know about or they wouldn't continue to make them, someone is buying them. You are correct about being an educated consumer but when you say come here and ask you are right back giving them fuel for the fire because every little detail will be pointed out...

I am NOT a SPYDERCO only COLLECTOR/USER. I have seen what I call the BIG THREE knife companies all try the made in CHINA route. One gave up on it, another continues to make them there and they are JUNK and the last is PROUDLY still making some of them there although they found a Chinese company that...

This shouldn't be a catch 22 at all. If people would read just a little bit about LokTite they would know that there are several grades. The BLUE or even the PURPLE are specifically formulated for small & tiny screws and can be removed without stripping the threads. I use them all of the time an...

DEACON, Thanks again for the info. You can't learn without asking questions.

Peter1960 & Deacon: Thank you both for the information. I noticed in the pictures that the boxes didn't appear to have a spider web design in them. Were they made both ways? As far as the color goes I wasn't trying to start a dispute just wanted to make sure that my description was correct and u...

DEACON> I had five people look at the box and all all of them said it was a funny shade of GREEN with a spyder web design and the spiderco bug. However there are two letters on the label DK which according to your reply would make it 4/11 which I know for a fact is not the correct date as I purchase...

peter1960> green slide out box marked C41PBK. Blade marked CPMS30V. I believe FRN handles.
Thanks.

HI, Can anyone please tell me the year the first NATIVE with S30V came out.
Thanks. :confused:

You are absolutely right. I love the knife but wouldn't use it for surgery unless it was an emergency.

YES INDEED IT IS VERY POINTY but there appears to be enough metal at the point that it won't break off under normal use for this type of knife. SORRY about your accident. I have to be very careful about getting cut with anything as I've had a heart attack and am on blood thinners and when I get cut ...

Thanks to 1623 posting about an overstock sale of Des Horns at Cutlery Shoppe I received a package in the mail today with two of them in it. These are very nice & well built gentlemans knives even if they are from Taiwan. The price was great & delivery was fast. I heard a lot of talk about t...

Hi, Check out knifecenter.com they have everything from various strops and all kinds of paste & strop dressings. By the way most of the Barber strops have a canvas & a leather strop that hang back to back. That's the type I've been using for the past 15 years. I use a white paste on the canv...

HI, Just wanted to say thanks for the post about the DES HORN on sale.
