Spyderco Forums

Thanks for taking the time to document and explain the process as you go Shawn.

This might be where Brett Veach is showing his genius. However I am still baffled by the move overall. There has been other acquisitions I also questioned in the past that worked out. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out. I don't know if it's genius or just a prudent move to have a vet that can ...

Don't know when either but it's good to see you Zen.

Wentz can still be a decent back up for if whatizface gets dinged for a game or two. Wentz has a lot of experience and knowing he is a back up and not a franchise with all that stress can do a lot of the stuff on the sideline and in the film room to help carry the burden.

I'm glad you like it Joe. I haven't tried a serrated version yet but Cruwear especially the way Spyderco heat treats it is definitely a favorite of mine. I like the all around pretty good at everything nature it provides and especially I like the sharpening response. I can adapt to most steels havin...

Thanks for the updating Chinstrap. I'll be looking for results as time goes by. Hopefully things will work out the way they should. That last picture is a good one and thanks for including it. If you have any auto type paste wax try giving it a coating. Even a standard candle can do wonders. I've fo...

That's the beauty of cats, they have a mind of their own. Mine will come to me to cuddle. Cats are also very hygienic so where does the smell come from? Besides the litterbox of course 😉 I love dogs but the smell of them especially when wet 🤢 That isn't beauty to me. :) A dog will try to struggle u...

Danke got that one! A veteran #2 with tape holding up parts of it. Perfect!

Oh, I say Enduras or Delicas. I can carry whatever I want but I feel lost without an Endura in my pocket. I have had one with me almost constantly since 1992.

Cats sure are cute but their bad habits and behavior out weigh that for me. Unlike dogs they don't offer anything but demanding behavior and bad smells. Dogs on the other hand will work for the common good of the family pack and if their needs are met and they have a good pack leader (owner) they wi...

I guess you can't just accept that Spyderco has reasons for doing what they do. If you do enough research here going back in time you will find enough of those reasons to figure out what is going on and the probable reasons for it. The reasons they don't are so obvious to me I don't get why everyone...

I got a pm… he has legitimate reasons for his post. Let’s cut some slack and help the dude. He is only trying to learn…. We all started some where… We are not so bad that you need to defend him. I agree with Jack though. I thought it was a joke at first also and then realized he was serious. I had ...

It isn't faulty and it does have some contamination on it. I don't believe plain oxidation rust is possible with that steel. The grooves in the steel are like mountains and valleys to really fine particles and you can't get some off without a paste or wax scrubbing. Mostly that won't matter but you ...

Be careful with it. It's strong stuff and too much ruins it. It is difficult to get off the smell if it gets on your hands and it can trigger mild skin reactions or allergic reactions in some. I strongly prefer the Calgon over the Old Hickory taste wise. I also make it a bit stronger if using veniso...

Just wondering… What is your “part of the knife community?”… not being rude, just trying to understand where this coming from… The part that hangs out on youtube to decide what works best for the industry and lives with charts from cedric and ada ( or whatever they call themselves) being evidence o...

I use soy sauce, a teaspoon of worchestch stuff, and a pinch of calgon liquid smoke.

PS. I’m not entirely convinced about Joe’s idea of shooting the slightly illiterate.

You might be surprised what being shot at can do for a mans character. :)

Sal is correct. I recall that was some stuff left over on the blade that flaked off when it finally was able to dry up. It makes me think some of the things that could be causing the discoloration Chinstrap is seeing. It could be a bunch of things like steel/iron/rust powder that was wiped off from ...

I don't go out of my way to watch my grammar and I will on occasion make up my own words. I never thought about the possibility of it bothering others. I don't intend on starting to worry now either. Not until someone is annoyed enough to start shooting in my direction. :)

I see nothing wrong with it. Great knife. I feel the same way. I'd love one in Cruwear or 4V, maybe even 3V. It must be fairly expensive to make in comparison to some other Spydercos and I'd bet money the Manix 2 lock. I also remember some folks complaining online about the famous lock back movemen...

I've had a couple doctors tell me we are genetically programmed to have a certain lifetime. One guy stated a certain number of heartbeats. He explained it as why animals with higher heartbeats and metabolism have shorter lives and he said it's the same with us. There are certainly other factors such...
