Re: 4V DLC Dodo comes out in a week

I was all lathered up to get online and snag one of these as soon as they went live. It started off with 625 available and this morning the St. Nick's website is still saying that 595 are available. Better safe than sorry, though! I definitely regret selling the two I used to have. I'm looking ...

Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale Scores

Long time since I last posted. Got my seconds haul today. Manix LW Maxamet and a 2 knife mystery box. My mystery box contained a Z-Cut pointed kitchen knife and a Para 3 Marbled Carbon Fiber Elmax exclusive.

Unless you are cleaning it with a Dremel or a belt sander, you don't have anything to worry about. Scrubbing it in the sink with a toothbrush will get the job done and leave it looking new for years.

Let us know how you like it. I've already got a PM1 and have been wondering if there is enough difference to justify buying a new knife.

I just sold off a large part of my Spydie collection, but I will be sorely tempted by a new C44. Especially at a G-10, VG-10 price point!

Great info Phrenik. It is the world that we live in today. YOu can't search or buy anything
that doesn't get stored for future use. I have searched items and then later, had a pop up
from Amazon with "specials" about the same product. It makes you feel kind of funny.

CARRY - USE - LOVE - REPEAT.

Like some of the other fellas have said, if you don't use it, you'll end up getting rid of it.

I have since sold it (smacks forehead) but I had a Jess Horn ZDP-189 sprint that had been reground by Tom Krein that I used in the kitchen. It was great at slicing and dicing tomatoes, cukes, onions, garlic, etc.

Spyderco has dipped its toes into the "torch" market before.

I think it'd be cool to have a Ladybug paired up with a Photon light that throws a Spydie symbol.

I've never taken one apart and I rarely give detail cleanings, either. They just don't get that dirty.

In practice what happens is that I have to use goo gone on my blades to remove tape residue, then a rinse n dry and back in the pocket.

I cleaned and sharpened my wife's pink Delica the other ...

I would like for somebody from Spyderco to weigh in on this since the eBay seller claims to be a former employee.

He definitely typed up a nice story to go along with the auctions.

You might check out the Mino Kami Japanese folder on A. G. Russell's website. Traditional and modern all blended together to make a pretty sweet looking knife.

I didn't have to use the Spydie I had on me, but I did use my Vic Swiss army knife the other day. I was paying for lunch at a restaurant and the hostess couldn't find a pen for me to sign the receipt. She was going to have me sign with the dry erase marker from their daily specials board.
