Spyderco Forums

I'm also curious if anyone has opinions on the knives. Are they a good buy, or would you recommend I stick with Japanese knives? They are Japanese knives, aren't they? :confused: Spyderco doesn't exactly make a complete line up of kitchen knives anymore, so you might also want to check out Forschne...

Paul...

I'd love to that same shot of the four knives...but this time with all of them closed. Even better would be two closed shots....one for each side.

I've seen this handshake, and it ain't nothing compared to the brotherhood of frn (bof) dance. :eek:

I don't think you will be re-using much Deacon. The hammer with the Boye dent will be replaced by a dent-less example also of Damasteel and some neat file work. When you'r this far, the backstrap has to go to match the hammer. You end up with only the pivots and chances are that any knifemaker woul...

Are the morans full tang blades?

Who's going to be kind enough to pick some up and mail them to fellow members? I called and my local wal-mart didn't have them.

Anyone seen them at a wal-mart near San Francisco?

Youch...expensive at 84.95...I got my first at 62.95 and my second at 70 just two weeks ago!

[quote="JD Spydo"] One of my very biggest wishes is for it's big Brother the C-54 big Calypso to make a major comeback. With what all is known about it at this time I truly think it would be a "Barnburner" the second go around ] Agree! Think about it...a 1200 piece burgundy zdp-1...

...and prefers the grey vg-10?

Just curious...

First, thank you everyone for responding to my question. Second, I got the knife. It's in many ways wonderful. Fit and finish is incredible. The blade is awesome looking. I can see why people like this knife! That said, I think my original question was badly worded. It turns out that perhaps some of...

You clearly need to buy one more! Then you'd have one percent... :D

Of the new knives just out (or out any day):

Who's immediately going to buy which:
Centofante 4 (warncliffe)
Ocelot
Adventura
D'Allara 2 (drop point)
Carbon Fiber Harpy (Sprint run)
Volpe

Just curious...

10/23 Sal posted this great piece of wisdom, right here in this very thread. http://spyderco.com/forums/showpost.php?p=190886&postcount=49 Aa a father, I would have to say that in the list of priorities, daughters habits come before knives, (or father's habits). :) sal I'm surprsised no one else...

I get mine tomorrow. And a yellow se salt i. And I have another zdp-189 calypso jr. on the way. :p

Mini Manix is made in usa. Zdp is Japanese. The two won't mix until worlds collide. :eek:

Thanks everyone...I just ordered a PE one, and a yellow SE Salt I, from New Graham.

Now I have to figure out where the tip of my calypso went :eek: , but that's a new thread, isn't it.

[quote="ront"]I just recieved my 80mm Manix today. I just weighed it at .36 lbs (163.29gr]

Thanks! Pretty amazing how close in weight it is to the full size manix (6.1 ounces).

So I've been reading old threads about the paramilitary, and it seems like a common gripe was that it tended to open to easily (not good when you reach your hand into your pocket).

Has Spyderco's cqi improved this? It's unclear from reading the past posts...

It's still not in the online catalog, hence this question....

Thanks!
