Re: The Big C



I want to thank you all for the encouragement and again I can assure you all that it's not going to be without an intense fight. There have been people that have won this war and I plan on being one of them. I'm finding a lot of very valuable information from the late Dr. Lorraine Day who ...

Re: RIP HULK HOGAN

I will never ever forget the time when Hulk Hogan took Andre The Giant and did an over the head body slam on him in Wrestlemania III. Yeah I do realize that pro wrestling is as fake as the government>> but you can't fake what he did that night. You can't fake picking up a 500+ pound man and slamming ...

Re: Fast Food Yuckiness

When it comes to fast food here in the town of Blue Springs, Missouri USA where I live I'm to the point to where I just don't like hardly any fast food joint anymore. I'm to the point to where I personally believe most all of the places are just down right toxic.

With monetary profits being # 1 on ...

The Big C

Greetings Fellow Spyderheads: I've been low in attendance so far this year. But there have been many reasons for that. This entire year I've been taking care of two lifelong sick friends and I took care of two other sick friends for quite a while before these two guys became ill that I'm helping now ...

Re: I think I want more serrated options

I can remember so vividly when I first got aboard the Spyderco train back around 1995 just about every model that was available was also obtainable in full SE. Not so much today unfortunately.

I realize that things have changed to where it might not be practical to do that any longer. But when you ...

Re: Cruwear Temperance Sprint Run. Is a Home Run IMO!!!


I found one of each (PE & SE) on sale recently, so I decided to buy them. When they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish – the grips are comfy and the finish is excellent (grips and steel). I'm looking forward to using them - good job Spyderco!

The Cruwear blade steel has ...

Re: New brown rod grit/process/or something?

If I ever find anything that cleans Spyderco stones better than Bar Keeper's Friend I will immediately start using it.

I've also found that the stones clean up easier if you soak them overnight in Platinum Dawn Dish soap.

I've had a couple of the medium grit stones wear on my so slightly. But I ...

Re: Cruwear Temperance Sprint Run. Is a Home Run IMO!!!

One viable option that you can have with the TEMPERANCE 1 model (Cruwear or VG-10) is that you have available in SE & PE both. It's one of the very few premium fixed blades that Spyderco ( or any other company for that matter) has made this model available with in both edges ( PE & SE). I've heard ...

Cruwear Temperance Sprint Run. Is a Home Run IMO!!!

Sorry I haven't been here much lately. But taking care of two sick/disabled friends has been a big, time consuming project needless to say.
But I want to take some time to sound off for the newest Cruwear Temperance model ( Sprint Run). Both the SE & The PE are truly a literal dream come true for ...

Re: New brown rod grit/process/or something?

Many years ago I had experienced some problems with some of Spyderco's sharpening tools that I purchased at that time. I got one of the very first sets of the 204 diamond rods ( around 2002) and they were defective from the factory. But Spyderco promptly and immediately replaced them with no problem ...

Re: Spyderco Temperance Review

I've been a citizen of Spyderville going all the way back to the original 2004 release of this jewel of a fixed blade "do everything" knife. And over the years I've singed the praises of this masterpiece TEMPERANCE model many times and on many occasions. I consider it an answer to prayer that ...

Re: My three favorite Spyderco folder designs

Even though I've heard great things about the Military 2 I still have a special love for the original Millie. A few years back I got a user M390 version in a trade and it turned out to be one of my top 3 best user/EDCs of all time. Now my Cruwear C-60 Ayoob gets most of my user time.

Re: Dyad



I have Micarta and FRN Jr's too. I'm not a "loose in your pocket" kind of guy but if I were going to carry a knife that way, it would most likely be the FRN Dyad. Having two knives in such a small package in an amazing advantage that our grandfathers all understood.

Re: EDC Appreciation Thread For Daily Carry

I am really nicely surprised at how many premium grade Spyders have become an EDC for many of you. However I'm slightly disappointed that no one beside myself it seems is carrying a C-60 Cruwear Ayoob in SE or PE. I've been EDCing my SE version for over 2 years now and I can't find anything I like ...

EDC Appreciation Thread For Daily Carry

It goes without saying that the vast majority of us here have at least one ( maybe more) of Spyderco's premium models as our main EDC. It's been that way for me for at least 20 years plus. For us devout Spyderheads most of us even have an all time favorite that overshadows other EDC blades. Or maybe ...

JD do you think a knife with movable serrated edge that rotates like a chainsaw would be good?

No I really don't. But I do think that there are possibly at least a dozen if not more serrated patterns that could be tested for different cutting applications.
