Re: Roadie Colors?

Knifewing,

Thanks for the comparison photos. That's a nice gray on the Roadie.

Re: Roadie Colors?

Knifewing, any chance of a comparison photo of your gray Roadie next to something gray we can all relate to? Thanks.

Re: Spyderco Lil Matriarch saves life!

Nice video Lance. Good to see the animal rescue. I'm going to insist that Costco starts buying and labeling their frozen bags of Tilapia as "duck safe".

Silver clips are available from the Spyderco retail outlet. You can call them and order them. They also come with screws. I think they are T6.

I know, I know this is a hazy and otherwise terrible photo but you can still see how nice a silver clip looks on that blue!

Re: Black or Silver Clip on Blue Delica 4 FFG ?

Silver! It matches the pins and screws, the blade itself and the silver against that color blue looks great. Just my musings, but if I were in the design department at Spyderco at the time they were putting the Delica/Endura concept together, I would have insisted on silver clips! Here's my further ...

We've already produced a green Jester. In order to make a new sprint, it would have to change from previous models (so as not to hurt the value of previous models). You can agree on a color that we've not used before, agree on an edge config or both and we'll do a run. sal Well, then we just need a...

I just mounted a set of cocobolo Option 4's on a S110V mule and I like the color pattern left when you machined the laminate. It gives the impression of grain while providing a textured surface for grip. Thanks for adding so much style to the mule team project! Pictures? The website still doesn't h...

Anyone know what happened to the Putnam aluminum scales. I have been on the lookout for the gold/orange ones for a while now and all I see are G-10 now??? When I contacted Allen during the winter, he said it was too cold to make aluminum scales during that time. Maybe now that spring is here, he'll...

I just received mine last week and I started singing that Doris Day song "Que Serrata, Serrata" because I was that giddy. I haven't had much of an opportunity to test it out, but I love the thickness along the tang (substantial), the balance, heft and overall appearance. If you're looking ...

I have a set of Allen's G10 scales and they are precise copies of the originals. The only hard part of changing out the scales is the lanyard tube. Once you get that baby loose, it is basically smooth sailing.

I did more than keep it in mind. My machinist has a list of mules to make while I'm in Germany. I added 2 sheets of non-textured natural G10 to his list. It's .125 or .140" and we'll see what happens. I am not sure if I am going to add it to the website, but you can submit a request to me thro...

Dear Marianne, Is there a chance you guys could craft some Option 5's in the natural or jade G10? I am a fan of the translucent effect of that material and I think seeing the skeletonized tangs of the Mules subtlety showing through would be a neat feature visually. And while I'm making out my perso...
