Spyderco Forums

RYAN,
I look forward to getting a set of the diamond rods. I'm sure they will be real time savers for some old kitchen knives I've been ignoring. Are they coated on the edges also or just the flats?

I just received the 2002 catalog. It was quite a surprise to see the spirit of the full size Calypso folder reborn as the fixed blade "Temperance" ! Anyone know where they are available now?

1.) Tactical Knives (Best of knife mags!)
2.) Combat Handguns
3.) American Handgunner

Thanks for always taking an intrest in your supporters !

Do all the FRN Vesuvius knives have the Bug inlay or is it a different model? I saw a picture somewhere in the Forum and it really looks great.

Sal,

I realize that it may be early to "Bug" you about new models but will next year's rescue be a new design or an upgrade of the original? Will plain edge still be an option? Any details that you can temp me with would be appreciated. I'm a police officer and carry a couple of Spydercos on every ...

I vote for a Blue Calypso Jr. I believe it's appropriate as that knife seems to appeal mostly to informed users that would pay to have a special edition.

Hi Joyce,

The Stainless Rescue is my constant companion at work and around our horse ranch.

I love the plain edge Rescue ! So much in fact that I had made my own out of an earlier Rescue before Spyderco offered the plain edge. I have used it in several emergency medical situations and it worked great ! Having a plain, flat edge is easy to keep razor sharp and lets it act as more of a ...

Forgot to mention to rinse the knife really well in running water while working the lock and blade to get any grit out of the handle.

MaNcEr,

I just got a Harpy (S/S) also...great knife! I love the Hawksbill for utility uses. I actually want Spyderco to make a larger size one. Oh Well ! Anyway, about your polishing question...I've made a few knives and messed around with a whole lot more. I found a method for refinishing blades ...

jrollins,

Thanks for the comments...I didn't know what the "SARK" was but when I looked it up, it is almost what I had in mind ! I had just put down my thoughts on what I would change based on my experience. I think an Emerson / Spyderco collaboration SARK would sell in droves to emergency services ...

I have seen some very good discussion about different ideas for Rescue type knives in the forum so I just wanted to add my 2 cents:



Handle : Zytel is perfect. This would keep the upfront cost down and allow easy replacement if lost or damaged. Zytel is also impervious to disinfectant cleaners ...

kbOrrg,

I ordered the Rescue on the Spyderco Proucts section of the website. They added the edge type to the options drop down list.

If you mean the Matriarch, I don't know...I have only seen pictures on the Net. I'll post if I have any luck. Every place that lists it are sold out.

I'm looking at purchasing a C42 Viele plain edge but my usual source only has the older model (Aus-8 steel). I'm looking for any comparative advice on the "practical" differences between the two models.

Any points would be appreciated.

I wouldn't try it either way....Airports have been getting tighter and tighter in the security department. I have heard from various trainers (knife and pistol) that serrated knives of any length are getting tossed. I have personally found that "classey" looking knives get little attention from ...

U4EA,

Sorry about the triple posting of the same message...the one on 3-27-01 was the only one I got a confirmation on...Great first impression !

Greetings,

I would suggest the one of the Native series folders. I have both the lightweight and the stainless. As for the plain edge vs serrated, I have gone around with that argument myself...both have merits. My partially serrated stainless Native is a perfect compromise. There are enough ...

Sal, if you read this posting, GREAT JOB on the Plain edge Rescue !! It is a perfect utility knife now as opposed to more of just an emergency knife. Please keep that as an option.... too bad you had to discontinue the stainless Rescues! The on-line ordering could not have been easier.



Any idea ...
