Designed for the hand not the eye ( I'm sure I got that wrong as a quote , but the idea is the same ) was an ethos that was touted by Spyderco in days gone by . I'm not being nasty or looking for an arguement , but the Dyad is the most unergonimic Spyderco that I've ever owned , used and held . I lo...
The Dyad is a conundrum. The first Spyderco I ever bought was a Grey Dyad Sprint . It was to big to heavy and its ergonomics were horrible , I soon sold it and Im just happy I persisted with he Spyderco brand because everything else I have purchased has been perfect . Then a year or two ago I cam ac...
I would really like to know if there is a difference between the ZDP used on Caly 3 and 3.5 knives and the Delica - Endura line ? I have an old Caly 3.5 that I bought secondhand and it arrived with a slight patina to the ZDP . Over a period of time the patina escalated to a heavy patina which helped...
I rate the ZDP Delica highly . The fact that you can get it as a production run and not a sprint is a great move on Spydercos behalf in my opinion . I carried a ZDP Delica exclusively for many months before venturing into the world of alternative Delica steels ( superblue , hap40 ) In all honesty th...
I've been contemplating this idea ( straight from the horses mouth ) that the Worker concept is outdated and run its race . After much contemplation I think that the problem with the most recent incarnations of the Worker is that it forgot who it was and where it was from . Forget G10 and all the be...
Anyone else experienced this steels tendency to create a wire edge while sharpening ?
Not a big deal to fix , just different than my other Delica steels , Hap40 , Superblue , ZDP189
Worked driving Concrete trucks years ago and practice jokes were an everyday occurrence on that job Best one I remember ( its the best because no one got hurt , a few jokes ended up at the A&E ) thankfully wasnt played on me , but an old guy called Belley . They took the small hose that was connecte...

Ken, One of my favorite photos from your many posts, thanks. Are you planning on expansion with the new V-TOKU2 and WC HAP-40 or S30V ? Regards, FK Member since Feb 17, 2001 Just purchased a V-TOKU2 , already have three Hap40's of different persuasions , so I've got that covered . To be honest over...
Even though I own a number of different Spyderco's I've narrowed my choice down to one knife for 99% of my carry .
I just happen to own of few of that one knife to choose from .
I chose the locks I do because they are the only ones I find do a good enough job keeping the knife securely closed, while the others only do a good job at keeping the knife locked open in my experience.
I spent the first 35 years as a Kiwi and the last 14 as an Aussie . I look at the best aspects of both lands and quickly disregard the rest . Good luck truly surviving of the land in any country in the world . If I was forced to I would base myself in a coastal setting not inland because the sea can...
