Spyderco Forums

Mine's the royal blue version. A nice and PC colour (quite important, considering where I live).

In regards to your offer Sal, thankyou so much! I don't know of any other big company heads that care so much about their customers to personally address issues like this. You've made my day.

I wouldn't have gotten so bothered really if the Dodo wasn't something I wanted to carry so much, but hadn ...

Thanks for the continued help! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I've tried rubbing the area I suspect is the problem with an abrasive, but it hasn't had an effect. Even when I try the knife while it's open (as pictured in the thread on Bladeforums) I get the same ...

Thanks Zeus.

I don't have a wife, but I should be able to get my hands on a hone and emery board.

Thanks alot guys for the helpful hints and advice guys. It's much appreciated.

I spent quite a bit of time this evening taking the Dodo apart again. The tang of the blade is smooth, and the pivot rotates nicely if it isn't under pressure from the ball. It looks like the problem is that the ball ...

Well, I still haven't received a reply to my email. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I'm kinda resigned to sending it back again now (well, not now, when I can afford the postage again, lol).

To say I'm miffed, is an understatement. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 ...

Hi Sal. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I took the knife apart and lubed everything up again. That got rid of some of the stiffness of the action, but it's still very bumpy. It seems to come from where the back of the blade meets the ball bearing, but both surfaces ...

Earlier in the year I sent my Dodo (which had a lock problem) to Spyderco and about a week or so ago I received a brand new Dodo in the mail. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



However, this Dodo has a very stiff and bumpy action even after lubing and loosening the ...

Who did you get to do it chux? Were they in the UK?

Having NEVER used a proper sharpener before, I managed to get my pocketknives sharpened very easily with the Sharpmaker.

It comes with a video to help too.

Because of the Restraining Order? :D

After an hour and a half in the dark, the X5 starts to looks alot better than a 6P.

You just gotta pick the right tool for the job.

You might try tightening the pivot screw (I needed two torx screwdrivers to do this). You can tighten the Dodo quite a lot, yet the action should stay smooth.

Just wanted to say, that cracked me up. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Nice to hear you got such speedy service Waf. I sent my Dodo in on Monday (because the lock was failing) and hopefully it won't take too long before it's back in my pocket. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Sometimes, if I want to keep a knife easily accessible, but out of the way, I pop it into the watch/change pocket of my trousers. It can be clipped or simply dropped in.

Notice how think the area is above the hole in the picture 4 s ter posted. Then take a look at the sliver of steel above the hole on the Native in the auction. I reckon it's a re-grind.

Edgar Brother's (Spyderco's UK distributer) won't send your knife to Spyderco. You'll have to send it yourself.

Return it to the following address, include your name, address, number and a note explaining the reason for
the return.

Spyderco, Inc.
820 Spyderco Way
Golden, CO 80403

custsvc@spyderco ...

Mine did that too. Send it back and I'm sure they will replace/repair it.

Milu, from what you describe:

'1) a heavy duty cricket
2) Karambit blade with a compact ss or g10 handle (no ring)...'

It seems like the Dodo would fit your want perfectly.
