Spyderco Forums

Emails and social media are where it drops first. Shortly after, things turn up here.

They are not going to pull knives from makers that are doing arguably some of the best production knives available after decades of working relationships. Spyderco's makers that have been doing good work keep those patterns as they evolve. Golden expanded capacity in the last decade and are probably...

I still couldn't find a knife of this model , why don't they make them , they are so beautiful

They made them years (decades) ago. I have a few and would love to see an update on the design.

For those who have been to previous factory second sales; do the fixed blade knives come with sheaths and if so do the sheaths have some sort of defect as well. I am looking into buying a bow river at this sale and it will be my first Spyderco knife. :) I have it on good authority that this year al...

That cutout doesn't affect the close. The strength of the closing action is determined by the spring strength and the shape of the tang at the opposite end - where the lockbar is touching right before the blade is fully closed. Correct. Worth noting, if you switch blades, you should swap the lockba...

Artisan's AR-RPM9 appears to be a PM version of 9Cr18MoV.

Haven’t there been several blue DF2s? Super Blue, K390, TNP special DLC/S35VN, and the teal S30V... Super blue has a gray handle. I'm not sure the teal counts as blue. Yeah it was gray, I thought it was a light blue there for a minute. My bad. The Superblue run was almost an extremely light, earth ...

I honestly can't believe there's a thread about this, with this many responses. Do that many people have whimpy thumbs that this really creates an issue?? Come on guys...toughen up! This is one of the most nit picky threads I've ever seen. I bet Sal is shaking his head. Reminds me of my 9 year old ...

Got mine inbound! This will make 15 D'fly 2's for me.

I found it to be very well made, but it felt like a knife made for a small hand. I wear XL gloves so it didn't translate well. I have it in the box and will probably end up gifting it.

The "Starling 2" is being discod's.. Sorry to heat that because it was a really nice piece, in my opinion, if you'll pardon the plug? The maker also did an exceptional job so it's really a lot of value to the dollar, thanx to the low Yuan. We probably won't make them again,at least anytime soon, so...

I don't see an issue.

Zero difference detected and I have piles of FRN, new and old.

My first UKPK was/is a SE gin1 drop-point, and it remains one of my most used Spydies. They did stick around in U.K. retailers for quite a while after the steel & spring were superseded.

Is the metal and spring design not so good then?

Both were upgraded since introduction.

Best wishes, thanks for sharing your story!

Why not buy from a US vendor that ships to you?

I believe that the golden lockbacks have been a bit more refined. The lock bars are thicker and actuate a bit smoother IMO. They are a bit tidier in their tolerances it seems and I believe that is because Sal and Eric focus on those things. I love Seki lockbacks too and have a fair number of them. ...
