Re: Sage 6 opened in pocket and bit me good :)

Had a few PM3s and PM3 LWs open on me over the years in my pocket. I'm not a fan of comp locks for this reason. My collection of Seki backlocks is all I need!

Re: Wharncliffe Delica interest


Never had one, but it is on my list. A Cruwear Wharnie in any of the Delica, Endura, Endela, or Dfly would all be must buys for me. I'll probably buy a VG-10 here soon though while I wait!



5 years later and now this is my favorite and most carried model. I have every variant of the Wharnie ...

Re: FRN strength testament(s)

The Seki FRN models are my favorite folders of all time. The FRN is amazing and I have never damaged one despite rough handling and daily carry. Its pretty much all I carry anymore.

Re: GITD LC200N and Maganacut?

I agree. I love my GITD Delicas, Dragonflys, Jesters, and Ladybugs. A GITD LC200N/H2 Salt 1 and GITD LC200N/H2 Dragonfly would be on my must have list! Would probably buy multiples honestly.

GITD H2 SE Dodofly Salt?? ;)

Re: The Knife Joker is closing

I bought my very first Spyderco on Amazon. I was at the beach and wanted a knife to carry in my boardshorts. I ordered a Dragonfly Salt to the beach house we were renting and it was there the next day! Started my whole addiction!

That said, Amazon makes it so easy to return items you would have a ...

Re: Manbug Wharnie variants?

I love Wharnies and the Manbug Wharnie is my favorite keychain knife (and Delica Wharnie favorite Spyderco in general).

That said, I'd love one in Cruwear/PD1 and one in K390. I'd take a St Nicks 4V exclusive as well to match my Jester. And some Glow in the Dark ones in any of these steels.

The Mangbug Wharnie is by far the best version. Wish it came in K390 or PD1!

Re: Dragonfly and Delica Wharncliffe K390 stained, non-Wharncliffes didn't

I have a lot of Seki made K390 knives and am carrying one almost daily. I don't cuts foods with them, but they do still get a light patina after awhile. After wiping any sticky tape residue or gunk off with alcohol, i'll scrub the blades in the sink with a blue scotch brite sponge and bon ami and it ...

Re: Spyder Folks, convince me on the Endela.

This right here! I have owned pretty much every Golden and Seki model and the Endela is a perfect fit in every way. It is my favorite model. I own the K390, Cruwear, and PD-1 versions. If I want something a tad smaller I go with a Delica Wharnie or regular Delica. I ...

The blade chipping on the lanyard tubing was a big issue with the Cruwear G10 Stretch XL. They must have got their models mixed up for some reason.

Re: Spyderco knives stiff to open?





That's what the pivot screw is for. Grab the proper size of torx driver


No. Just no.

Knives should work out of the box. $150 knives should work like $150 knives out of the box.

Think about this: you can’t even properly QC a knife that doesn’t open properly.
