Spyderco Forums

I've had plenty of "lower end" models that were downright perfect in fit and finish, so it's not always the high end stuff. That said, the one that always comes to mind for this topic is the Vallotton. So many pieces, so much machining and finishing, there are a lot of opportunities to screw ...

Any updates on this? My fingers are getting itchy!

I like plain edge for fine "office environment" deployment. SE for difficult, rough cuts like rope, cardboard or other "outdoor" cuts. I carry both.

Why? Because all those pictures are feedback for the counterfeiters on what they're doing wrong.

Coaching them on how to improve wouldn't be prudent.

They provide you with a wide range of authorized dealers. Don't search for deals on Amazon or eBay and stick to the ADs.

But there's the old ...

When I designed the original Yojimbo about 25 years ago, I purposely put a 3-inch blade in a handle that would accommodate something longer. The idea was that the handle would still fit larger hands and provide a striking point at the butt, yet the blade would be legal to carry on a plane even ...

That's unusual. I would think they were going for the deeper, more defined look.

Very nice. What scales are those? I'm thinking of getting that kit but not sure what scales to use.


Thanks. I made these scales myself, they're 3/16 canvas micarta. I definitely prefer them over the g10 scales Spyderco sells, although those scales are ...

The white g10 is what got me. I pre-ordered it from BHQ.

I’m not super into the white but it’s a nice blank canvas if you want to dye the scales.

If the blade is thin enough, I might keep it white. Kinda like a quasi gentleman's knife/edc.

oh wow i'm dumb. didn't even think to look on the site.

i'm definitely intrigued by the mantra. it's a very classy looking knife in the white g10.

113 is one of our collector's club numbers and the 'V' is for variant. We originally had six collector number when the club started, but were persuaded to give up two. Our numbers are 60, 72, 112, and 113. We received four of every knife that Spyderco makes.

I bought your 113V Schemp Tuff ...

I don't understand why someone would intentionally ugly up some nice knives like that in the first place??

Yeah, I saw that, then the other knives and I was like: "What in tarnation?!"
But, they're not mine, so OP can do as he wants, lol.

One might also note that the pictures posted by the OP represent the entire population of broken Maxamet knives available on the Internet: nine (9) knives. I know there have been primitive cultures that counted, "1, 2, many" but I don't think most of us here would consider nine knives to be ...

I carried mine for 2 weeks straight after I received it. The knife works well as a general purpose blade and fits well in pocket for its size.
I will say that this is the first knife that I have bent the pocket clip. I have no idea how it happened but it surprised tye heck out of me. I was able to ...

I haven’t noticed this yet in any spyder backlocks :/


Out of all the Spydercos I've owned over the years, I only have two that show a bit of movement and I bought them within a month of each other. My stainless Harpy and my Caly 3.5.
It kinda bothers me to the point that I don't want to carry ...

I bet the member who posted in the Native Chief thread with the skull he carved out of a chunk of wood with said knife would win, lol.

I've got an Ikuchi coming in, just ordered it last night.

one of the things i wished was different about the ikuchi is that it would fit in the pen pocket of my uniform the way a crkt ceo did. due to the curvature and the thicc end, it does not fit in a standard pen pocket. however, it's such a great design and fits so nicely in a pants pocket that it ...

Yeah the wheel opener is cool. A guy from the counter at the outlet has carried one pretty much since it has been out and has a high opinion of it. I like it, but due to it's smaller size, it (and also the Kobol and especially the Nand) are slightly harder to control in my hand.

If I had an ...
