Spyderco Forums

I have a rather expesive guitar (for me) with a serial number on its neck. I would be surprised if the serial number is not secreted in other locations. I would not buy one of these if any number looked funky or possibly without checking with the company. The manufacturer maintains a database of any...

I bought and got a Lil'Temp leaf blade soon after they hit the dealers. Soon after that the supply got thin. The explination I got was there was trouble with the outsourced machining and the knife lock was not safe to Spyderco standards. Compression locks are difficult to make and perfection is requ...

Just rember the sharpie trick and keep your stones flat. Oh yeah, put the Edge Pro in a 13x9x1.5 baking dish and you will avoid the water mess.

Why is this in the Spyderco on-topic section?

I have an Edge Pro and do not care about actual edge geometry. If the edge is not suitable to task I'll just move up or down to alter the cutting edge. I've even added file marks to add interdediate positions between the red/yellow/green/blue notches. Deburing does not require a full three degree ch...

I am sorry to hear of your troubles. Hopefully this will turn out for the best. You saved the day and get new wiring and a chance to improve your business location. I live in a funky older house and I would think to feel the walls because I live in older house with unknown old wiring that was remode...

If you sharpen correctly a burr will always be created. I never used to de burr. Now, After each grit I have started simply running the edge through some material like cork, or the base of my sharpen stone. As it has been explained to me, this eliminates the possibility of leaving a hair edge in pl...

... Harder steel should be less tough but if only the cutting edge gets harder it should not make the blade "brittle". How about a smooth steel to add pressure and heat to the cutting edge without removing the "hardened" edge material? I guess that could take some time. If this e...

Correct use of an Edge Pro will give you whatever edge you tried for. My favorite use is to use my Edge Pro as I need the edge but then the last few strop stokes are done on my Levies. A bit of titanium dioxide goes a long way on the pant leg. My pants are always available when sharpening and the Ed...

No one has suggested a Delica trainer to safely play with along with a "real" pink Delica. You could then offer to take up one of her interests as an even exchange of good will. I hope you like marathon sessions of shopping for clothes, knitting, needle point, gossiping about friends and n...

I admit I have not read all the way through this thread but this three finger thingy sounds dangerous. I have done similar but there are better ways. Different uses require diffent edges. My favorite edge is toothy S30-V. Polishing the edge is great for shaving but will not cut rope very well. I do ...

I prefer a large handle for control. For my uses a fairly short blade is good enough. For self defence, slashing cuts beat stabbing wounds. Big handle for control beats "biggest blade for the handle". IMHO BTW, I need a knife with belly for my work at work. A ***** box cutter works just fi...

Where I live nobody can figure out the applicable knife laws. My bad, but things should be clearer. I go with the three finger rule but that is so crazy. Big hands and small hands...and a cop who'd like your knife. It is kind of a good deal. No court or possible jail time and a cop gets a new knife ...

I have an Egde Pro Apex but shouldn'd this be in off topic? Great system with advantages and limitations but this IS the Spyderco forum. Edit: The float glass and silicone carbide does work well. They say you can just use flat concrete as the base for leveling the stones. Wet-dry carbide paper also ...

[quote="Evil D"]See i've been mentioning this a lot on different forums, and people tell me a lot of mixed info. Someone here say Ohio has no length law, but i've read that there's at least one city near me who has a 2.5 limit, and then i hear a lot of people say 3 is the limit. I've ALWAY...

Wonderful post but I must take exception to: "Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed." "Women somehow deteriorate during the night." I feel like crap in the morning and look it. Are there any girls here to comment on Doc's post? Please chime in if any girls are here. Gir...

No straight razors for me. I take blood thinners. My doctor hates my Spyderco hobby. I scare him on a regular basis. IIRC Doc Snubnose managed to suvive shaving with a Ronin (?) with minimal damage. I lightly maimed myself trying to shave with a really sharp Native 2. Geometry does matter on a razor.

I hate to admit this but I was up almost late today for work and rolled without a Spyderco in pocket. I had to use a ****** box cutter for tasks better suited to a Caly 3. A Caly 3 CF ZDP laminated is currently my EDC. I cut up a huge burrito into fork sized slices with my Caly 3 lol ? I always try ...

Product function over form. Company integrity. Value for real knife users. Sal and Eric and all the Spyderco crew. This forum. etc...

Easy things at work, but boy was it impressive. Manix 2 154CM still factory sharp. Way better cutter than your usual box cutter. We'll see after I have a go at sharpening it.

Hi JT, Sorry, no pics until we've finalized the design and we have protos in hand, and we know that production will occur within the 6 months of showing pics. Currently we're using a 4 way Endura/Delica clip on the models we've made. sal Thank you! The wire clips are a favorite of mine but seem too...
