Spyderco Forums

A thread used to be a piece of cotton, not a conversation!

How about wrapping up all your Xmas gifts using only a Spyderco to cut paper & tape?

My Dyad Jr was very effective. Sharp enough to push cut even the crappiest paper!

Advanced Level - spyderedge only!

Neat!

I do like my Matriarch & Lil Matriarch. Very reassuring in pocket.

Happy birthday!

I think the best option is to use the knife and sharpen the problem out.

If you were to use a leather shim, maybe put it where the blade nub meets kick as David suggests as the blade edge would cut through it in no time.

RIP JD.

The high strength and self adjusting nature of the CBBL appeals to me, but I wonder why the ball bearing is the size it is, especially is if it’s caged anyway?

The CVT transmission on my Vespa uses weighted rollers, some form of low friction but hard wearing composite around a steel core. These ...

Happy birthday, Chris.

I hope your surgery is a great success and you're skipping & dancing around as soon as possible!

Thank you!

Cheers, chaps!

I’d have to flip a coin between the Kapara & SpyOpera.

Thank you, guys!

Thank you, Dan!

Just at home recovering from a knee replacement with my Dyad Jr Sprint, but hopping off to the pub later for some classy live blues.

….. . . and arrived this morning! Excellent little knife!

I’m stuck at home after a knee replacement, so this will take over post-op carry duties from the SpyOpera, for a while at least.

Yay! Just got shipping advice from the U.K. importer!

I admit I'm not very good with a caliper and a micrometer. And I don't have delica to make accurate measurements. So far, I'm trying to plan a reblade.


You’re going to need those measurement skills very quickly.

Drawn plans and dimensions are no good to you if you can’t transpose those ...

I’ve had a Global Deba in my kitchen knife block for coming up 30 years, but I have to admit buying it by mistake in the first instance, not realising it’s geometry.

Being single edged (although heavily sharpened over the years and now with a microbevel) it is a phenomenal slicer and a very useful ...

I don’t imagine medieval peasants were “comfortable” for much of their lives! The indigenous herders evolved highly specialised ways of living, very different from your European style tied serf where not much trace of their hovels survive.

I don’t see many dwellings pre -1400. Post 1800 saw the ...

That stop pin mod is effectively converting the Endura from a backlock to a Tri-ad Lock. Cold Steel currently owns the patent on it until late 2026.


Ah-ha! Many thanks - I didn’t know that!

There appears to be a variety of features on the Triad lock to accommodate any wear, answering my ...

that stop pin idea is extremely cool.

I feel the opposite about the sharpening notch.


Agree on the stop pin.

Interesting. Does any manufacturer do that? I wonder whether it removes the wear resistance of the lock function?

It could have been a solution to the original Siren lock ...

Absolutely agree! The MicroJimbo is a fantastic knife.
