Zen! Good to see you, bud!

Likewise! With the breaking sad news. I think you can now see why I came out of Spydie retirement.

Excellent obituary for The Deacon. Thanks Taz.

IIRC. the man liked has bolsters and his backlocks. His preferences never waivered. He stood by his principles. Was a great example of what a man should be.

This thread is old enough to drive and vote. Wild stuff. Happy you beans have been keeping good stewardship.

Congrats on the Police. I carried one for over 10 years. It was my 3rd Spyderco, and the blade that brought me to these forums...::squints at join date:: Uggghh, about 20 years ago.

Amazing how people's blade preferences change over time. Thin handle sits far better in pocket than those fat preggo ...

The top knife in the pic is the one that popped up on social media and sparked this question.


Yeah that is the one. Notice bug on blade and engraving is perpendicular to all the others. The engraving location really is odd. Spydernuts aren't fond of words ...

That would put it as possible with those dates.

Never seen a Lil Temp with the bug before.

I'm trying to remember when the bug...er spyder was first put on the blade.

I'm currently discussing on a different medium, an old favorite Lil Temperance that shows a bug on blade and engraving for where it is made is all different than any other blade I've ever seen. So trying to figure it out.

It does have an attractive grind, but the Deacon is right in that the Delica, which seems just a bit longer and not as much booty, does everything this one does, and with the 4 way reversible clip, more.

I had two of this rare bird. One of those things that just isn't exciting to many because of ...

Good to see you back, Zen. Interesting story on the Mont-Bell. I imagine Kyle will likely chime in. I think he's still one of the primary folks involved with keeping spyderwiki updated.

Btw, do you still have that marvelous collection of Ronins? I always enjoyed seeing pictures of those.

Take ...

Anyone have access to the spyderwiki? I notice the super rare Montbell Pirka isn't in it. Would be a shame to not have that little back alley footnote in the records.

Super short story. There was a sporting goods supplier called Montbell who specialized in outdoor goods. Many from Japan. . Roughly ...

Sorry to ask, but I just stumbled on a newer Spyderco called the Bombshell. I hope somebody reported it in this thread. The person who started it must have been super cool.


Good to see you back, Zen. It’s been a while. ;) Still have that impressive Ronin collection?


Hi dude. Just passing ...

Thanks for the responses. It has the cavity just no metalic spydie. I got burned a few times when collecting...
Me too. I usually just fold up the loss and go on. It really sucks though.
Not a huge deal, I bought it years ago and never noticed. I''ve been selling off the collection in a different ...

I have a 2002 Vesuvius Forum knife. Most photos, but not all, that I've seen show a silver bug inlay on the handle. Mine does not have an inlay. I've skimmed through the multitude of threads about the Vesuvius, and I believe there was a Vesuvius version without a silver bug inlay. But I can not ...

No there is no reason for a Forum user to jump ship from here, especially if they don't currently use Facebook. It is a good move on Spyderco's part to have an official page over there. The largest of the spyderco fan pages over there is run by egotistical ninnies who are creating a caustic ...

Hard Cider, Mead and other fermented beverages are easier than beer, but require pretty much the same gear to produce.

I literally just finished bottling a batch of mead. Unlike beer, preparing mead doesn't make your house smell like something died. It is also perfect for lazy people...the ...

Thanks Joe, good to see some of the old guard.

And no, not a lot of effort.

As for being prepared, well geez I cut my friend in a demonstration, least I could do is do the same to some attacker. :D

So YOU cut him? :eek: :D I would have a hard time putting much force behind a cut in a situation like that. I imagine you didn't cut too hard either. And it STILL got him ...
