Spyderco Forums

Thanks for bumping this thread-- answers the thread I started.

I personally think the CF on my Szabo folder looks pretty good and would be good for the Lum Tanto, but looks like people don't like CF as much. Easiest way currently to get some hamon is on the composite blades.

Any official word ...

Awesome, glad to see the mutual interest, but I could've sworn I saw official word from the Spyderco gang about another Lum Tanto sprint.

Cough, CF and Maxamet or Composite blade (get that hamon on!). Cough.

Sorry if it is in another thread, I couldn't find it in search.

Aside from the previously-issued grey sprint run of the C46, is there another sprint planned?

Saw a similar post about another knife, so opted to start a new thread instead of hijacking that one.

Back in the day, Jens Anso would do (metal) bolstered, sculpted G10 scales for his custom Rocklobsters. Always a shame that the Spyderco Rocklobster didn't get released with the same (though, oddly ...

To me the TOAD model was one Spyder that I personally just didn't have much use for except for just being a collector piece. I was told by a friend of mine who is really into cigars that it would make a perfect "cigar knife". Maybe that is what it was designed for.

Now the SPYKER on the other hand ...

Either one of the Gayle Bradley M4's. I've been on the fence, and haven't been pushed over yet. I'm sure it's comfortable and performs well, but the design seems kind of standard...

And Lil' Sub-Hilt. Have the big one, but not sure about the smaller version.

The Toad is such a solid, obscure little design. Too rare these days to actually put mine to use, so that would be a fun one to get a sprint of.

The SpyKer is perhaps not overly obscure, and was almost perfect, if not for the godawful billboard on the blade. Sold mine because of it, but it's the ...

Just an idea, but maybe you can embrace the break where it happened.

Perhaps just do a chisel-type tip, like you see in a razel or give it slight belly to make it a mini-Captain? That way, you get another cutting surface and reduce the total amount of grinding/reshaping needed (given the cost of ...

AH! Okay, those liner/backspacer comments and pics really helped clear things up for me. Wow! I get it now. Thanks for the input, David, SF Native, and Nick!

Not a troll post, I promise you, and apologies if this is redundant with anything.

I've been away from the Spyderco scene for a few years and just got back in with the Maxamet Manix 2, M4 Military, EuroEdge, Slysz Bowie, Slysz Techno, Lionspy (large and small), Roc, and most recently the Black ...

yeah, definitely the full-size persian. fit and finish were superb, and the design is unbelievable for a production knife.

Yeah, sometimes you just need to give it more passes. Try 40 on the coarse stones and see if that doesn't work.

Is it sad that I first didn't register the word "he" and instead thought of "H-something Edge?" Is it even sadder that my second guess was "Herrated Edge?" :p :D :D

Hey fyunchclick-- I love your collection! Is your Shabaria PS or PE?

I know some will disagree, but IMO the Captain is one of the best Spyderco's in recent memory. Definitely look into it!

It would have to be the one that started it all: the Persian. I'd never had a "good" folder before, and the pictures made it look so enticing that I couldn't stand the wait. And once it got here, well, it got me hooked! :D

Personally, while I appreciate the laser-like cutting ability of a knife like the Centofante 3 (thin hollow grind), I do think the looks of a flat grind are more "clean." As an illustration, why do I think the Lum Chinese, Caly III, Manix, and Kopa are so great? First, it's Spyderco, so they've got ...

Would someone describe how you put this blade to use?

The front of the blade is for controlled cuts-- I find that it's really terrific for opening packages, since you can cut the tape without worrying about poking through to the other side. The recurved part of the blade is great for stuff like ...

(Here's the thread I was talking about in the Para refinements thread.)

Hey guys, so I started another thread called "Without compromising the Paramilitary..." that addresses some of the concerns of size and performance of the Paramilitary. What I gathered here is that by and large, people love the Para, but just want to see some more improvements. On the other hand, we ...
