Spyderco Forums

I spoke with Mr. Demko at the Blade Show a couple of years ago. He is a very innovative designer. We talked about a collaboration using one of his locks, but he didn't get back to me. I'm guessing he just wanted to do his own thing. We're open, but it takes two?

We created the Compression Lock ...

I'm not the biggest Demko/Cold Steel fan out there, but I've spent some time around an AD20.5 from Demko knives.

By far, the Shark lock is the best lock I've ever experienced. It changed the game for me, it has that back-lock solid feeling, coupled with the axis lock/compression lock fast ...

In short: it's a beefier and more minimalist Delica, with a better steel as a stock offer (VG10 vs S30V).

The Native 5 lightweight version is its final form imho.

One of the very best knife Spyderco ever made. I just wish they'd make it a little longer. A native 5.5.

Would be cool to be able to purchase it in this configuration.



You made the request on Thursday night,
and Sal has it in production and revealed by Friday morning.
Impressive.

I wish it was true. Been asking for them to sell me a Slysz Bowie for ...

Just swapped the pink S30V sprint run blade to the formal black one.

Would you like Spyderco to make it happen ?

Just bought a pink S30V Dragonfly and to my surprise it does come with bronze washers, despite the OG Dragonfly 2 not running them.




Is it because of the DLC coating ? The pink DGFLY runs smoothly, but as smoothly as the normal DGFLY 2, so why the change ?

Hey Xformer,

You might want to take a closer look at the Polestar and Alcyone. Well made, Linerock, decent steel, inexpensive. I designed them originally to be smaller Military models for the Scouts.

Hi Sal,

Thanks for the suggestion. Nice designs no doubt. Unfortunately, I'm an ...

@Xformer do you have regular sticker on the other side of the box?

Yes.

Bump for my thread : viewtopic.php?f=8&t=96130

I've been waiting for a Delica 5 for a long time. S45VN as standard, less hardware etc.

Or let's dream : a liner lock Delica.



I do like linerlocks, and would find a variant of the Delica with that lock interesting, but generally:
Why? (Honest question)

The backlock works great on this ...

Hi,

Just a quick confirmation needed : the label sticker of my Military is different than the one we usually see on Spyderco knife. Does that mean it's a fake ?

Thanks

The chaparral lightweight is frn with liners. Very solid feeling, yet with a very slicey thin blade. Great knife.


Another nice feature of the FRN chap is the full steel back spacer. It is one of the few (or only?) current FRN models that has a steel back spacer. This helps gives a very solid ...

Backlocks I agree with you, I don't understand how they're still a thing.


I dunno, maybe being fully ambidextrous, easy to operate one handed even with gloves on, not requiring fingers in the path of a closing blade, tough to unlock by accident, being one of the best locks at keeping a ...

I wish the PM2, the Delica and the Native 5 were linerlocks. Liner locks are the second lock I prefer next to a framelock.

Backlocks I agree with you, I don't understand how they're still a thing.

I've been a BladeHQ customer for years and I can't recall them doing that kind of thing, they have always been fair and highly reliable in terms of business. That would be very unprofessional and dishonest to send people defect knives.

Tuff is the most beefy folder I have. It feels indestructable, with a matching heavy duty action.

Old pictures:

It is large, but not overly large. It has a similar cutting edge to the Shaman.

Blade is noticeably thicker, with a massive stop ...

Maybe we're starting to see the PM2 tanto as being a regular drop at Blade HQ ? Could be a good time... As long as the usual scalpers left the model alone.

yeah, it went out of stock while i was waiting for hq to get back to me on whether liners were coated as was case in previous batch. when i finally received response confirming such on thurs morning they were still out of stock. glanced at site next morning and they were back in stock & snagged ...

I think I was one of the most vocal about it back then and got a lot of flack for my take. I wouldn't call it "stupid", because that's quite insulting though. Spyderco people aren't stupid by any means.

To me, the PM2 blade is too delicate and the tip is very fragile. It's weird to pair that kind ...
