swapping blades between a leftie PM2 and a rightie PM2

Hello,

I just recently got myself a leftie PM2 and am planning on getting a Maxamet rightie PM2. Do you think it would be possible for me to swap those blades in order to create a leftie Maxamet? Would it be something challenging to achieve? Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Is the Dodo ever gonna come back?

Hello! Just a question to the Spyderco admins. I missed on the chance on owning a Dodo. I was wondering if you guys will ever do a Dodo 2. All the owners praise that model and I wish that something similar would be available some days. Keep the good work and I can't wait to see the new catalog! Than...

Re: Sprint steel to production steel

Those two are highly unlikely, since they are clad. S110V is now proto vs sprint and S30V is still available. I would think availability, price, and ease of manufacturing all play into deciding the standard steel offering Hello all, Twinboysdad, what do you mean by clad? As opposed to forged? What ...

Thank you Cujobob, Zhyla for your inputs! It helps me understand a little bit about how the processing works. Thank you Sal for taking the effort to find the answer!

Re: Heat treatment and processing for ZDP-189

I see and it makes sense, so that means that the Spyderco japanese facilities does the heat treatment. But it also means that Rockstead or any other knife maker using ZDP does their heat treatment too. Now the only thing that I am curious about is if Hitachi gives the heat treatment requirements to ...

Heat treatment and processing for ZDP-189

Hello all, I am trying to understand a little bit more about ZDP-189 since I bought a delica a couple days ago with this steel by pure curiosity. I would like to know if Spyderco gets the steel from Hitachi already heat treated or is doing the heat treatment in house. I am asking that because recent...
