Spyderco Forums

I am a meat-cutter but I wouldn't classify myself as a butcher as I only process components, no slaughtering. However, on my paystub I'm classified as a butcher. I started in 1974 and at the moment, I am semi-retired, but as long my back and joints hold together, I will be done with all the bull$%#@...

For me personally, I blame the internet. I don't have a very large "accumulation" of knives, but I do have examples from different manufacturers. Any one of them, I would be more than happy to have as my only pocket knife, from a $50 Buck to a $300 ZT. However, since this is a knife forum ...

Actually that's the reason I bought the PM2. I was looking for a lock that was comparable (in action) to the Axis lock. I briefly considered the Manix 2 but was more drawn to the compression lock. I am not a huge fan of liner/frame locks and really don't like back locks at all. So I decided to get w...

As I mentioned in your other thread, I used BlueLube to smooth out the action and it worked wonders. I also use it on my other bearing flipper (my 0450cf) and it helps it with it's action also, even though it doesn't need much. Just to add, I don't think it would matter too much what lube you use (a...

Well done and very concise. I've gotten somewhat used to the detent so I doubt I'll make a detent ramp but if I wanted to that's the way to do it. The one thing I'm glad you mentioned was the pivot screw and how hard it is to get it loose. I made a half hearted try when I first got it, (I wanted to ...

Thanks for the lead, now bookmarked. Very interesting read (somewhat above my pay grade though).

Yet they haven’t changed any law about carrying or owning a one hand opening locking knife. You just can’t import one now. Sometime last year I saw a news report for Winnipeg,(where I live) that stated something to effect of 95% off all stabbings in the city the previous year were using kitchen kni...

i have a set of black scales coming to swap for the camo ones on my pm2, just wondering what everyones technique for dealing with the loctite is. i dont have a soldering iron, so i am wondering if anyone has done this with a hair dryer? thanks in advance Try it to see if the screw will budge, but d...

You know something, I used to stress about blade play. I'd have my knives fall shut but have slight side to side play. I spent hours trying to find the balance, but on some, I never could. Then when I bought my first Spyderco's, a PM 2 and a Para 3, guess what, yup still some blade play. I found if ...

Just asking.... If i already have spyderco folder no-legal... what should i do with those? In Canada did they became collectable i mean double priced? So we had the right to carry straight blade... but not folder? Seams werd.... As bacmapei pointed out, folders are legal (at least the definition of...

Rocking my newest edition, however, according to the border thugs, very well maybe the last.

So I was browsing the Warriors and Wonders site (like I often do) when I noticed their new announcement on the front page. It seems they are no longer importing Spyderco knives due to the CBSA ruling. I mean, I just don’t get it. Why just Spyderco? Why not Benchmade, CRK or any other brand? Don't w...

I bought my first Spyderco's in December 2017, an all black PM 2 and an all black Para 3. I really dislike lock back folders, even though I have a couple, leaving alot of Spyderco models out, however I do like the CF Chaparral and may have to make an exception. I just bought my newest knife, the CF ...

My Positron just came in and I have had it a couple hours now to play with. First off, I found the quality to be superb, fit and finish is stellar. The carbon fiber is absolutely beautiful, especially how the light causes the carbon fiber to have a 3D look to it (I don't have any experience with CF ...

I just placed the order for the Positron from Blades Canada, so I will update what my findings are later when it comes in. Should be interesting, so many knives to buy so few dollars to spend.....

Thanks for the info everyone. I see that the Positron has some liker's and some not so much. Kind of what I expected as that is the general consensus out in the forums. I'm happy that the action seems to be ok and not any issue with the pivot bearings. I seem to be drawn to quirky designs and so far...

I am in the market for a new knife. I certainly don't need another knife and have a hard time justifying purchasing another one, but I want to anyways 'cause I don't care. Perusing the website of a large west coast Canadian knife/sword retailer, I see that the Positron is on sale for a rather large ...

I bought both at the same time and both are in my rotation. However, I do find the Para 3 gets the call more often than the PM2. I just find it more comfortable in hand. Oh, and even though I much prefer deep carry clips, the stock one on the 3 is fine and as a matter of fact, I really don't find it...

I have to admit that most of the seventies, all the eighties, nineties and the early naughts were seen through the bottom of a beer bottle so my memory is a little foggy at the best of times but one of my all time favourite concerts was Johnny Winter. Ah yes, lots of really great bands have come and...

Right now I'm listening to Rush "The Spirit of Radio". I literally have music from the 20's right through to the 2000's, however, I grew up in the 60's so I have a definite lean towards rock and blues. When I have someone new in the car, they get quite the puzzled look on their face when w...
