Re: Serrated Edge for Hunting?

I just started a thread raising the possibility of seeing the Dyad models return at some point. For those of you who are new to Spyderco the Dyad models were a double-bladed folder with one full SE blade and one full PE blade. I do believe that this might make the idea of a SALT Series Dyad to be qu...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

I agree 100% with pretty much everything you said. I'd prefer a Salt, but anything would be an automatic buy. It's been quite a while back but I do remember Spyderco talking about the possibility of a SALT version of the Dyad. But I had also heard that for financial reasons they elected not to go f...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

I'd actually like to see a Dyad featuring a comboedge blade and, yes, a saw (most will know that Soyderco had a folding "Spyder"saw in their lineup back in the days). Even started a poll on this once https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?t=82630 The "SAW" idea is rather inter...

Any Double Bladed Desires?

One Spyderco model that I cut my teeth on in the late 90s/early 2000s was my beloved C-44 Dyad(The Bigger one). I immediately feel in love with the concept of having a full SE and a full PE blade in one folder. Even the smaller Dyad Junior I found great for use as an EDC blade where they have dracon...

Re: Stok

I've looked at it a couple of times. But it isn't what I need or want in a fixed blade. I'm sure it's great for certain applications but I mainly use fixed blades for outdoor activities. I'm still holding out hope for a Salt Version of the TEMPERANCE 1 model along with SE & PE both. But if they ...

Re: Spyderco Groom carry suggestions

If I was fortunate enough to find a soulmate in this turbulent time I would only carry some of Spyderco's finest to that big day. My two suggestions right of the top of my head would be the Cruwear C-60 Ayoob or one of the more recent Para2 models. I don't think you could go wrong with either one of...

Re: Partially Serrated CombinationEdge FRN Police Please? Anyone Else Want One??

It's been quite a few years ago that I had 2 of the combo edged Police models. And I believe they were both from the ATS-55 era if my memory is correct. I do happen to be sort of a fan of Spyderco's combo edged models. And especially with the bigger models like the Police, Endura and even the older ...

Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?

A Most interesting subject matter. You hear these labels for the generations being thrown around a lot in conversations recently.

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Yep, can confirm the amazon screws linked above work better than the stock screws. For that matter, any M2x.4 x 4mm screw will work. The black coated marine grade screws I might buy at some point can be found at accu-components.com for reference. But shipping from the UK is $27 so its not really wo...

Thank you so very much "Spyderwebs" for all the work you did concerning the availability of extra screws for the C-60 pocket clip. I just recently talked to Spyderco Warranty and Repair about this subject in order to get some extra screws for the C-60 Cruwear Ayoob pocket clips and they to...

Re: Spyderco Models We Need In FULL SE

I Still say that the Jason Breeden models that Spyderco did over a decade ago both could have done far more better on the sales charts if they had been available in full SE. The C-111 Captain and the Breeden RESCUE both should have had TEETH from day one IMO. Also other great Spyderco models like th...

Re: It's About Time For: A Full SE Catcherman

I am super happy that they gave us another sprint of the Catcherman. It’s a model that I never had a chance to own so I’m grateful for the opportunity! Given the intent of the design, my first choice would be PE, but the CE of the sprint doesn’t bother me since the CE portion is close enough to the...

Re: It's About Time For: A Full SE Catcherman

I'd probably be interested, if it were a Salt. No non-Salt blade or hardware, please. Edited to say I like your idea of introducing "it's about time" threads. I would have no objection if they did a Salt Version of the Catcherman in full SE. Actually I would like it a lot I'm sure. If you...

What I never want to see, however, is my doctor wanting to do surgery with a serrated edge. Or to shave with a straight razor with a serrated edge :hot-face . Yeah let's hope we never see either one of these. Serrated edges do indeed have their place for various cutting jobs to be sure. But again t...

Re: Cruwear pitting, and repeated spot corrosion problem

Nitric acid and citric acid are both used for passivation, but you already have pitting. Hey "Larrin" are there any "passivation" methods that can be implemented by a lay person? Because I feel that corrosion is enemy of every good blade. Also over the years I've had good result...
