Spyderco Forums

Yep, it appears to have the integral spring, a feature that went by the wayside pretty quickly. Nice find.

Edit to add: Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here. I happen to have one of those as well.

I'll take your word for it. I've never watched a YouTube knife review. I prefer to form my own opinions

I had a girlfriend tell me "It's not fair that your hands can be that soft. I know what you do for a living." And yes, if I pick up a knife or other tool and immediately feel sharp spots digging into my hands, I have enough experience to know what those spots are going to do when I start u...

https://i.imgur.com/RAfhAG9.jpeg 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 down the m...

That would put it as possible with those dates. Never seen a Lil Temp with the bug before. What steel does your L'il Temp have? They used 440V/S60V for most of the production. I think the bug went on when they changed to S30V. It could have just been mine but my old s30v lil temp 1 had no spyder As...

I don't know for certain. The Boye dent appeared around 2001, and all the newer models in the 2006 catalog had the bug logos on the blades, although the older stock pictures do not. My C95 Manix doesn't have one but my C101 83mm Manix does. I would guess around 2004 for a start date on the rolling c...

Send Kristi a p.m. She helped me out a couple of years back.

Sold by Optics Nation1. Seriously doubt they are a legit dealer.

How about attaching it to a belt loop with paracord? Then if you drop it, or if it unintentionally becomes unclipped and slips out of the pocket, it's still attached to your person. Unless that's considered a potential hazard. The paracord doesn't need to be very long. Jim That’s a good idea too. T...

That was just an old picture of my Calypso family. If you want something that spans their history, the stainless Police Model is as close as it gets.

By design, these knives encapsulate the spyderco design philosophy the most. Not going by my opinion or preference, but by actually observing and taking their in house design history into account. Also another reason I forgot to add previously, made in Japan, historically I would say spyderco has p...

To me, it is the C07S stainless Police Model. There's a reason it has been in continuous production for 40 years.

I don't see many mentions of diving from the contingent that wants everything rustproof. Frankly, none of the rustproof steels have impressed me with their edge holding, but I live a long way from an ocean, so corrosion is way down the priority list for me. HIC may not sharpen easily, but it does ho...

Just out of curiousity, did it rust as well? Just asking, because there seems to be a large (or at least vocal) contingent around here that value rust resistence above all else, including the toughness to withstand a 3' drop onto concrete. I was able to achieve a useable edge on one with nothing mor...

It was the end of June in 2022. That was the time I left my purple folding chair up there and you very kindly shipped it home to me.

I have been cutting him slack, mostly because I figured it was an April Fool's Day prank. Yes, we all have to start somewhere, but if he truly wants to learn, I suggest he start by learning to communicate in a less belligerent manner.

Welcome to the forum. The value will depend on exactly what you have. If it is the "Bug" set (Bug, Honeybee and Grasshopper in one box) it might be worth a few dollars, but probably not much, especially with the Grasshopper missing.

Mike types faster than me.

Unlike the above poster, I have seen quite a few posts with this exact complaint around the Internet in the various Spyderco and knife groups. It just seems to be part of the crucarta version, either due to micarta as yablanowitz said or something with the design. If you want a PM2 to use like that...

I'm waiting for the invitation to show up in the mail, but I was thinking it was July or August.
