Re: Reveal 16 15V alert thread time?

Does Spyderco still do those first small shipment to all of the dealers?

Is this wave of inventory that or the regular sprint drop?

Re: Detent - How weak is too weak?

When I had a folder (61 HRC Z-wear) that opened too easily, I took a tiny carbide bit and deepened the detent divot on the blade a little bit. Worked great!

Just a Dremel and some sandpaper. If I had a hobby CNC I'd be in trouble lol.


David, to be clear, did you use a Dremel sanding band and drum to rough it out and then progress through sandpaper grits to finish it up? If so, did you ...

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!




I can’t help but wonder, was Spyderco losing money on the Rex-121 knives?


I heard something to confirm this while at the SFO when we were chatting about the new Sage pricing. With the inordinate amount of time and supplies necessary to finish this steel, this could have been the catalyst ...

...For example, I was looking around for a Rex-121 Sage LW to buy, but the MAP jumped a whopping 37% from $255 to $349. So now, with no way around MAP, I’m basically priced out of nice Spydercos anymore...

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!


I just looked at Dack and it looks like all the Spydercos are now gone.

Does this have anything to do with the clamping down of MAP as of recent? Looks like we saw individual retailers getting shut down, and then larger shops like Freedom having to drastically alter their operations. Now Dack ...
