Spyderco Forums

I haven't been active lately, but I'm still a big Spyderco fan and wish I could make it to the sale this year (I'll still be in the Northeast at college during the sale). I noticed this in the email sent today: No pre-purchase trading – Why would someone “hoard” a product? So they can leverage their...

My entry shows the Spyderco Lil' Lionspy, C181GTI, in the window of a truck while "spying" on wild African lions in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, Africa. In the background is a wild male lion that was sleeping in the middle of the Crater during the hot part of the day. He happened to raise his head r...

Long time since I posted, but still loving my Spydercos. Here's a Native 5 in my hand at the summit of Mount Aconcagua on December 16th. Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Americas, at 22,841 feet above sea level in the Argentine Andes. The snowy peak to the left is the south summit, a couple hund...

small--Poliwog, medium--Jade M4 PM2, large--Chinook 1, and I'll replace the fixed blade with the Advocate.

Thanks to Mushroom for the opportunity to judge this week, and thanks to everyone who submitted photos. The winner is Enigma with the closeup perspective of a Swick. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4672/39380863845_c1e5c56371_b.jpg Runner up goes to RadioactiveSpyder with the nicely modified Slysz Bo...

Old picture, timeless knife

Thanks Hopweaver, and congrats to remnar--your Kopa looks great.

This week's entry is the Southard with some similar browns just outside the obscure Cache La Poudre Wilderness of northern Colorado. I've been having fun with the warm tones lately.

It was an honor to judge this week, and thanks to everyone for submitting pictures!

The winner is Hopweaver with the crisp Cruwear Manix.



Runner up goes to abbazaba with the beautiful blue PITS.

Thanks abbazaba, I'm looking forward to seeing the entries.

awesome! How is it on top of the volcano? I grew up in Mexico City, and when the air was clean (almost never), with no smog you could see both the Popocatepetl and the Izta towering majestically on the horizon... It was great, here's a trip report with some pictures. https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/...

One of your wishes in in-the-works, but maybe not in the catalog, but coming.

Any hope that the navy blue Jester sprint might happen?

I got this Magnitude at the Seconds Sale, and I think it is really under appreciated here on the Forum. I rarely see it in pictures or hear about it; I don't know why, as the ergos are amazing, the action is perfect, the carbon fiber is beautiful, and the blade shape is unique and functional. It's j...

I remember one of my first top end Spydercos in September 2005 was the Military Model C36GPSE with G-10 Handle and ComboEdge S30V steel for $103.09 shipped. Now, the PlainEdge C36GPE with G-10/S30V is $160.77 and soon to be $174.18! Yes, and you could get a pound of potatoes for 2 cents in 1913. No...

And / or line thy Spyderpac with tin foil and realize that no one actually needs a high-quality knife. We're in pursuit of a luxury, claiming it costs too much. It's not like they raised the price on water, or bread, or even electricity for that matter. Originally, I was skeptical of this increase, ...

I picked one up last year and I am enjoying it. Great design--feels good in hand, works well. Nice job.

It's all cool as long as factory seconds stay cheap, and rare models are more fun to chase than current ones anyway. :D I can't pronounce a real judgement without more facts. I always thought that "MSRP" was rather dumb anyway, because no one actually buys any regular Spyderco at MSRP, so why not ju...

+1!

A few favorites are the Advocate (a steal at $60), the Magnitude, the wood and Hap40 Delica, and the 40th Anniversary Native. The best deal for me was probably actually the NIB overstocks, ($90 Vrango, $75 Firefly, $125 Southard). I also won a free black Dog Tag (NIB) for correctly guessing that Spy...
