I don't have one, i just really handle-blade ratio, its really unattractive to me. I do own 3 Militaries though, and i consider them to be my favorite Spydies

I shunned Militaries for a loooooong time simply because of the linerlock. I found a BG-42 Millie under the tree at Christmas and I am in LOVE with it. I had the privilege of scoring a S90V Millie on a forum a couple months ago and I love that too! It takes a while to get it sharp but when you do it...

So I got a D3...

...and i love the blade and I like the handle, but I kinda really wish it was stainless. Does anyone know if I could buy a stainless D4 and swap out the blades? Are they interchangeable or was the D4 completely redone? my knife, but i didnt take the picture <a href="http://nl.tinypic.com" ...

How do I get new screws?

So i lost the screws to my Harpy and 1 clip screw to my Cricket. How do I get replacements? Is there a place to buy them or does Spyderco send you new ones on request? Have I lost them forever? How does it work?

Gotta go with the Millie, It's a hard decision between the BG-42 and the S90V, but I'm gonna go with the S90V for now, I really want to try out a S30V version

To Ronin or not to Ronin?

So I have the opportunity to get my hands on a Ronin. What makes this knife so good? I hear good things about it but I don't see anything outstanding about it.

I'm gonna suggest grip tape too. I don't need a lot of grip because I usually don't have very sweaty hands, but grip tape will work perfectly, it came standard on a cheapo chinese knife I bought a while ago, the grip actually caught me by surprise, i didn't need that much grip and I wasn't expecting...

Doe anyone know where to get a Spyderhawk?

I can't find them anywhere online except for that site that sells them for $8686.86. Has anyone seen them around?

Thanks,

The only reason that I made it a question instead of "look at this idiot" is because the Tasman Salt is the only knife out now that resembles the Merlin. He MIGHT have thought it was the same thing. THEN I realized he changed "H-1" to "ATS-55" and I would bet my life th...

Im sorry to whoever made it, good idea, bad execution. It looks to me that the handle is wider than it is tall. And I think it was already a lockback before he worked on it, meaning he didn't make it into one. I think the filework would be pretty sick if it didn't disrupt the profile of the blade or...

My Spyderflys have VG-10 blades and I didn't think they could be made any better. It might be the added G-10 or just the "cool" factor. Not really sure, but in my eyes Spyderflys were perfect when they came out originally.

Wow...ebay idiot or con man

Read this item description, compare it to the Tasman Salt description, look at the picture and tell me if it used to be SE. Oblivious or conman?

Regrettably I own none of the above, but with the information that I happen to have, I would have to suggest to Assist.

I store all my goodies in a large Spyderpac (My goal is to fill it) and no problems so far. I actually use the rings on the top to hang in on my wall, that way they are all on display for everyone to see! I would suggest getting one, it's an extremely efficient use of space and a good investment. Tom

Gotta agree with Spyderwings! We have to know what you have the pleasure of owning! And this is definitely the best forum on the net.

Blue Ladybug CE information

So before I even knew what Spyderco was, my friend bought two blue Ladybugs and i bought one from him. This was at least 4 or 5 years ago. Can anyone give me any information on it? I know it's a ladybug but I'm not sure which generation or is there is anything particularly special about it. I DID no...
