Spyderco Forums

I know some of my Taiwan Sydercos like the Rubicon and the GB1 have a deep etching of the logo which appears diamond shaped.

Good for you. When you get all the knives together would like to see a group photo please.

This Pingo seems to me to be and odd duck. Yeah I know it's made primarily for sale in Denmark and other countries with PC rules concerning knife ownership. To me a Spyderco knife is desirable with its large hole to facilitate one hand opening. This Pingo by design must be opened with two hands. Wit...

Thanks Guys when I heard snail I'm thinking slime. LOL

I'm not quite sure I know what the term "snail trail" means. It's often mentioned as being present on used knives for sale. Any one have an explanation or even better a photo?

There's a video on Youtube which shows what I think is a Janisong being deployed. Could be Mr. Rube Goldberg had a little input in this very complicated design. :D

The Polliwog. I love how this little guy feels in my hand and how easy it is to clean.

Good to hear. Thanks.

30 miles off shore in a kayak? Wow, love to see some photos.

Congratulations, I think that's a winner. Love those orange scales and I bet the knife is easier to find than in black.

Great story. Great ending. Frame that Spydy and put it on the wall.

Welcome Hobo, would you mind posting the can and a close up of the knife? Members here can help you given enough information.

Thanks guys for your advise. There is something wrong. I've never had a problem with any other Spyderco. Although I could live with it why when it's so easy to return and I've decided to do that. Thanks again all.

Thanks David for your response no offense taken. The dirty or dull scales were not due to scratches from a previous owner but from an unfinished final polishing. Mind you it came in a sealed plastic bag just like all the others from Spydercos I've purchased. I wish I would have taken a photo of what...

If this is a fake it would be a very costly one in that I can see it has a quality inherent in a custom. No I don't think it's a fake. It's my feeling that the final polish was not performed. I had a very similar situation with a orange bone damascus folder which had polishing residues in the concav...

No not the river that Caesar crossed but rather the collaboration with Peter Carey's custom knife. So a while back I opined that I was reticent to buy any Spyderco knives made in Taiwan. Well let me tell you that I was shown the error of my ways in no short order. After a little research I became aw...

I have actually considered, with the permission of Sal if he were to give me the go ahead/green light on it, writing a book on Spyderco knives. My idea was to give a basic overview history of the company and the notable people involved, charts and run-downs of the most popular and used steel alloys...

So in my attempt to research as much about the history of our beloved Spyderco I did a Google. Wow not much there. More surprising however were the prices, nothing under $180. What am I missing? If a book is no longer being published I can see the value being increased. Yet the price point would dic...

I like Lum knives, only goes to follow i like the DejaVoo (and Onslaught) too.

That's what attracted me to it. Great minds think alike Larry.

Well thank you for the edification.
