I figure any steel produced by Spyderco is going to do anything I ask of a knife pretty well. The only knife I picked because of the steel used was my Ladybug Salt SE. I think if someone wants a high precision cutting instrument that Spyderco is a premium choice because they use premium blade steel...

Depends on how it is anodized for titanium. There are various levels for aluminum also I think and they have a 'hard coat' and a regular and while I do not know the specifics if you have ever tried to bead blast off the hard coated aluminum it will be quite difficult on some pieces to even strip. It...

No, I'm not making fun of it, I actually think it's pretty funny/cool. Anyone know how the whole Golden Colorado USA Earth blade stamp came about? Something tells me it was come up with by mistake as a joke or something but in any case, I'm just curious. It would be cool if Sal explained it too. Ap...

Folding knives are a convenience tool. We must never forget this. Way back when someone was carrying their big ole fixed and said, gee I wish it was more convenient to carry around all day and someone said, hey lets make it fold. We can't ever forget that it folds! We do, often times we think they a...

Deacon is right. The hole pattern is too tight to allow a folded over stem to weave between the two lower screws while leaving the clip strong enough to work and allowing access to the screws to remove and install them and the two somewhat in line holes are not really in line. Its a difficult clip t...

my pants have suffered a bit from a BM 525 so i loosened the clip a bit and now it's fine. my delica doesn't give me the same problem. Just wondering - how do you deal with g-10? do you sand it or let it eat pants? Its what clips do. They all have issues no matter which you chose really. The only c...

- Replies: 35

The problem with a large or an extra large folder is that most people that I know associate large with tougher so larger knives are not only expected to do more and do it better but probably are more likely to see abusive treatment over a smaller knife. I realize this is not always the case but I th...

I am amused by some of the super large knives out there and I do own a couple of the Rajah 1 models from Cold Steel. Seriously though they are more 'novelty' knives than serious users at least for me. Don't get me wrong, you can seriously use them when you want to but quite honestly I can't imagine ...

Hey, has anyone else tried the usaknifemaker.com clips on their spydies? Was thinking of getting a couple from Tracy and Lora, but then am not sure if they'll fit... These clips sold by USAknifemaker supply were originally started to give the market a generic clip that would fit the most knives and...

The washer question(s) are of some concern. If it were my knife, the little space to the right of the blade, between the blade and the handle would be my main concern. It just looks like the blade tang isn't wide enough. Again I don't know the exact reasons for the gap but best guess is it follows ...

Some makers and some manufacturers have used double washers per side. This has gone on for years. Some makers contend that a double washer set up reduces friction so some knives have rather than one .020 washer per side two .010 washers per side instead. I've worked on and had apart thousands of kni...

I thought when I bought my Para Military 2 that I had found the single best folder ever built or designed by Spyderco. For what it is worth its unique in that it is one of few Spydercos I've bought that is not modified in some way. :D Yeah. I void warranties also. :eek: Now I find after the purchase...

I made him a blank and if it goes well that should hold him over until Spyderco can get him a new clip. I kind of made it from a pic and I just don't know how its going to work. It should be needing trimmed down after he marks and drills the holes but we'll see. If it fails I may have to see who has...
