Spyderco Forums

Can anyone tell me why I don't get the E-blast? I add my name and email. I check my spam folder and spam blocker. I still don't know why I don't receive them. No idea why, but the same thing happens to me. I've submitted my name and email several times, and have yet to receive an e-blast. Maybe we ...

Congrats on two tough finds!

I really like the look of the Native in tan FRN.

Yes, it seems that these stories (while amusing) have been around a while: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/darwin06.asp

It's part of the new advertising campaign:

Spyderco - our clips are sharper than their blades!

Several years ago, I saw a deal on a for-sale section of a forum advertising three NIB Temperances (one SE, one PE, one trainer) for $100. Thought about it, then decided against it. Went to bed, and five minutes later thought, "I should go buy those." Decided to wait and do it the next mor...

Yeah, but I can't get it to Spyder-drop at all... :D

So far in this thread, at least ten models (not to mention various color choices) have been put forth as possible forum knife contenders. I can't imagine that the good folk at Spyderco view forum knife selection time as anything more than an exercise in frustration. :D With that said, I'll be happy ...

:p (somebody had to say it)

It certainly does, in my opinion. I am a Stretch contrarian.

I had a similar experience with a Stretch (original SS handles with rubber inserts). It just did not feel good in my hand, even though it was an exemplary knife. I put it back in the box and forgot about it for a while. This pattern repeated itself a few times until I gave it to one of my best frien...

So I've identified an emerging pattern in my collection, namely Foliage Green G-10 scales, as evidenced by my Para D2, Khukuri, Barong, E4 FG G-10, and Manix 2 FG G-10. I understand that some of you are not fans of FG G-10, but I like its understated look, especially with a flat black clip (I even ...

I don't like to talk money when it comes to purchases, however Im at a cross roads. A local dealer has the C10 Endura 4 in that British Racing Green ZDP-189 for $114 CAN. It is in Combo Edge and I have never actually seen this in person before. It will complete my set of three since I have the SE a...

Great video! Thanks for posting. Always cool to see knives in hand.

So who else was surprised to find Daylight Savings Time started today? And am I the only one who thinks this is "a bit" early for it to begin? Cripes, spring is still a week away. We're down to 4.5 months of standard time, almost seems pointless to switch back and forth anymore. The day w...

Ah, White Castle. Discovered them while I was in college, and rarely miss an opportunity to partake of them when I'm on the road.

The frozen ones can't hold a candle to ones hot off the grill, served on a paper plate.

Which runs were 300-400? AFAIK the most recent super-popular runs were: Forum Native: 600 pieces at once sold through the Spyderco website. The 2009 Forum Native run was smaller. Per TazKristi: Spyderco.com Forum Native - C41PPR - USA Made Native with Purple FRN Scales, Full Flat Grind CPM-S30V, Pl...

The 2009 Forum Native sold out in eight hours.

When the 2009 Forum Native sold out in eight hours (and I did not get one), I was sad. When it became evident that no more would be made, I was sadder. When I unexpectedly found out about one that was available, I was excited. When it arrived today, I was ECSTATIC! Sorry for what is perhaps the wors...

I'm not totally certain that's entirely true. I could be wrong, but Sal once said something which gave me the impression that, unlike the other non-Spyderco Japanese knives which Spyderco acted as a US distributor for (G. Sakai, Hiro, Moki), the Solo brand was his creation, to sell knives he design...

I've used some Maxpedition gear for a few years, and have not had any problems with it.

As Deacon observed, it can be a little stiff initially, but everything I've used has broken in quite nicely. I have a backpack that get frequent use, and it is comfortable by my standards.

Anyone looking for a 2009 Forum Native? Purple Native Yep, I've been looking for a 2009 Forum Native since the evening of the day they sold out in eight hours. :o However, it galls me to pay that much for something intended for forum users, not profiteers. After having two private sales go bad, I'v...
