Re: Para 3 LW detent slop

Dear dubya3(new): Welcome to the Spyderco Forum. Your best bet is to return your knife for warranty consideration. We always do our best to stand behind our products when they are used properly. If you choose to modify your detent hole (which would add slop to the action) or replace the detent ball ...

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

Dear Coelho: Welcome to the Spyderco Forum. The scales start off as peel-ply-textured G-10. The Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture pattern is machined into them. The top ply is then peeled off to reveal the "standard" peel-ply texture on the top surface. As such, it has the benefits of both....

Hey, All: Circling back to Wartstein's questions about my statement: "...for a bushcraft-worthy knife, the strength of a Compression Lock is a significant advantage..." Of course not claiming at all that I'd know even remotely close to what you (and of course also Sal) know about knife des...

Re: PM2 Slippy G10

Dear csapp: Welcome to the Spyderco Forum. I am also a fan of coarse-textured G-10, but most Spyderco customers are not. Most feel it is too abrasive and creates excessive pocket wear, so we usually use medium-textured G-10. Skateboard (aka "wing walk") tape is one solution, though it is v...

Re: Knife that screams liner lock got the compression lock - why?

I've noticed that when designers try to avoid the "hump" in the blade for the Trademark Round Hole, they often use a deep cutout in the obverse-side scale to make the hole accessible for one-hand opening. That "feature" makes the handle feel like that of a LinerLock, since it's c...

Dear Chinstrap:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum and thank you for your detailed post.

Could you please explain a "saturation job" and what, if anything, might be different about the underwater environment of such a job?

Thank you.

Re: SALT Liners

If you read the most recent issue of the byte, we answer this question: Due to the complexities of galvanic corrosion, all the other metal parts of Spyderco’s Salt Series knives—including springs, lock bars, backspacers, screws, ball bearings, clips, etc.—must be very carefully chosen. Every part mu...
