Spyderco Forums

I’ve watched a couple of videos where this mod is done, but for the life of me, I can’t remember why you have to remove and replace the factory pivot instead of just re-using it. Can someone remind me?

I’m waiting on a Manix Lightweight. Can’t wait!!

I orfered mine back in January. Had it within 10 days.

I guess I'll be "that guy", but I'm not very impressed. In fact this is the only Spyderco I have bought that wasn't better than I expected. It's a nice knife, but just feels cheap to me. I can't really put my finger on it, but it just doesn't seem up to the quality of my others. The detent...

Oh, ok. Everyone can have an opinion except me. I don't think I'm the one being defensive (or over dramatic) here. Changing the tool so the performance is increased? Seriously? Knives for jewelry? Where does this stuff come from? A customization job like this must be worth at $125. So, who wants to ...

Travis, I think your regrind talents, shown here and in other threads, are topnotch. I should leave it there, but I gotta say that this effort, to my eye, has obliterated the knife's original aesthetics. To each his own, of course. Being disinclined to mod, I avoid knives whose design does not init...

Wow. He comes off as a genuinely good person. Sadly, his business philosophy hads been discarded by too many companys today. Hopefully they'll learn the errors of their ways before its too late. Long live American business!!

What has been the smoothest operating Spyderco you've owned?

Maybe John Browning's 1911, but that's the only one that comes to my mind.

Great post!! The 1911 puts "iconic" in true perspective. Para 2? No way.

I really really like my Sage 1. Its a great knife and very smooth. Excellent size too!

I know they're over your budget, but I've got to recommend the Domino or Southard. I have a Delica ZD 189, a Sage 1 and a Para 2 also, but the two flippers I simply cannot keep out of my hands. Of the other three, I would definitely pick the Sage 1. Like The Deacon, I prefer it to the Sage 2.

Ordered mine on 1-17 and recieved it today. Very neat catalog and price list.

Southard
Para 2
Sage 1

And people wonder why the JFK assasination controversy is still going strong after 50 years.

+1 the Caly 3.5 is in closed position just 0.4 inch bigger than the Caly 3 Here's a size comparision of some members of the Calypso/Caly-family: Calypso, Caly 3.5, Caly 3, Calypso jr. http://araneomorphae.de/images/forumpic/Caly-1.jpg Boy, from looking at this picture, I can't imagine it would make...

What are the things to look at/lookout for in spotting fakes? Any genreal rules or pictures to reference? Southards, Para 2s, Dominos etc.

I received the Brown Delica 4, the Delica 4 189 and the Sage 1 today. Very excited. A little surpised at the sizes. The Delicas are a little bigger than I expected and the Sage was a little smaller. Pleasently surprised in both cases! I'm hooked, I'm afraid.

Well, I just ordered a black Para 2. This better do me for a while!

I really enjoyed your review and pics. A lot of good infromation here. Thanks.

One more guys. I'm gonna order one more. I 'm in position now to have a larger more heavy use knife. Para 2 or ZT 0566? This is really a tough one. Or, any other suggestions? Its got to be in the $150 +- range.
