Spyderco Forums

I bought a C05 Standard SE used on ebay a while ago. I like the thicker blade and the G-10 handles, and the ATS-55 has been pretty easy to sharpen. It's like a smaller Delica with a G-10 handle and tip-down clip :D . I was also able to bead blast the clip since the black paint was all scratched up ...

Welcome to the forum!

I've only heard great things about NGK. :)

I guess I'll add to what everyone else has already mentioned. The Delica is great for EDC. I love my Delica FRN PE cause its has great grip and the VG-10 cuts well and is easy to sharpen. At first I didn't like how light the FRN was compared to the G-10, Aluminum, and SS handles, but I've gotten ...

I've only handled the Bill Moran once, but it'll be my first fixed blade :spyder: . I'm gonna have to make sure I get one before I go camping this summer.

I've been carrying my Bob T Alum C15 CE with my Delica FRN PE for a while now. I just can't stop myself from playing with the liner-lock. :D

This thread keeps getting better every time Scotch posts. :D

I have a CF SE Dragonfly and a Navigator which is the same shape of a Meerkat. The blade on the Dragonfly is really nice because of the full flat ground, but I like the grip on a my Navigator more since it fills my hand better.

But if I had to choose I'd buy a Meerkat since it has the better grip ...

I'm gonna have to get me a Calypso Jr and the Almite Walker. I haven't convinced myself to use my micarta Calypso Jr and I would love to get another liner-lock folder.

I guess it's not that big then. Speaking of large belt buckles, I should get a picture of the one ...

Thats an awesome belt buckle! I just have a regular small belt buckle, but if I wanted a big oval one it'd have to be that one.

The micarta ones I have are the Calypso Jr. PE and Jess Horn SE. They'd be great with dress pants, but are harder to find.

I haven't seen a Howard Viele yet but the original or the new Viele 2 would also be great. And you can buy the Viele 2 now.

Welcome to the forum! :)

The closest shop that sells Spyderco is about 40 minutes away, and their prices aren't too cheap. The good thing is that they have lots of old discontinued knives that have been on display for a couple years or more. I just wish I had the money to go buy all the discontinued models they have. So far ...

Do you mean there were also SS Caly Jr.'s out there with the very same blade (full flat ground) as on the other versions?

The SS Calypso Jr's where hollow ground, not the full flat ground of the FRN, Micarta ones. Here's a pic I found on ebay:

Congrats 4 s ter! I hope I can get that many posts.

Thanks for the replies! I'll reprofile at 30 degrees and then sharpen at 40 degrees.

Does anyone know the factory edge angle on the plain edge of the Bob Ts? Cause I bought my C15PS used and the angle is 40 degrees right now, and I wanted to see if it should be reprofiled, or if it's correct.

Thats crazy! I don't have that many yet and I got my first one almost a year ago.

Does anyone know the MSRP for the G-10 and Titanium handled Bob Lums when they came out?
