I would like Michael Janich and everyone on here to give your feedback on this knife. I read that it is rare? It was supposedly designed for both martial uses and also as a general purpose cutting tool:

The Dog Tag is really knice, probably heavily underlooked. It's designed by Serge Panchenko. What are the chances to have more collaborations with Serge? Besides the DT the other existing collaboration is the Roc. I say three is better than two. :)...

This is something I have been following for years. It is very interesting and I would welcome your views on it.

Unlike some fringe science and technologies this one appears to be a real phenomena, and has been experimentally verified.

The basic idea...

I have a Karahawk with the G10 insert all the way through the ring. I've seen several karambits that have a point on the ring that can be used as a glass breaker. Such a point would also good for striking in self defense.

Has anyone ever seen or made a...

I have trouble with gripping the thumb bit on my manix 2 especially when my hands are sweaty or wet. is there anyone that makes custom ones that stick out more? Especially interested in premium material replacements for them as I'm going to get some...

I am still waiting excitedly for the new Coyote Urban LW. I hope it comes out this year. This is just a great pocket knife design.

I would also like to see the LC200N Sal mentioned as a possibility (he did not say certainty, unfortunately).

I think it look like a cool little knive.i would like to hear about it.

Hi Sal,

this morning I cleaned (for the first time) one of my P4s. I noticed nice irregular patina on the liners, on both sides of each liner, even under the scales, never seen that on any other Spyderco before.

Can you disclose what they are made...

I think the Big Brother program Spyderco has is unique in the knife industry.Delica-Endura,PM2-PM3,Native-Lil,Native,Street Beat-Street Bowie,Bradley Bowie-Junction,etc.is a great way to offer not a downsized version of the bigger knife,but a smaller...

I was looking at various knife making supply and other stores and some sell what they call Unfinished Blade Blanks, Finished Blade Blanks, and Unsharpened Blades. What are the main differences between these most likely?

Is it that a blade blank has the...

I was browsing the Spyderco page and noticed the charitable partnerships section. If Spyderco wasn't my favorite knife maker before well they sure are now!

My dad suffers from Parkinson's disease. It has been hitting him hard lately and he has been a...

Hi folks,

Spydiechef is here! Just picked this beaut up. Oh my. Feels great in hand and in the pocket. Love the idea of this steel too.

I’ll report back after some weekend cut time.

Was a toss up btw this and the sage 2.

Cheers...

Been away for some time, but was looking at replacing my Persistence.
Had bought several of the value lineup for gifts, etc... a few years ago and they were perfectly reasonably priced.

Maybe it was just the slight overstock deal @CS back then, but I...

First post here. I'm thinking about getting a Hungarian and I was wondering what other Spyderco models have the same clip hole pattern. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, my name on the other forum (where I no longer hang out) is SRE1. I've done a...

Are the plain uncoated collector numbered Aqua Salts considered rare? And are they worth more than the current production?

hey all, im looking for wire pocket clip for the bowie, ive searched everywhere but cant seem to find it.

Check this out: I was browsing the website, Etsy.com, and I found this disgusting fake:

The seller is listing it as a Spyderco Claw . There is NO such thing! It is clearly a fake Paramilitary or Military.

Please contact Etsy and let them know...

I was wondering if there is a mod where you can put a glass breaker tip on the handle of a paramilitary 2? Does anyone sell an accessory like that online?

I put this thread here because it can include knives other than Spyderco. The question is, for your personal uses and applications, what is a bare minimum for a knife to be good . Not necessarilly super, not even necessarilly an excellent or great knife,...

Just wanted to give a shout-out and thanks to Spyderco for the OpFocus program they are running. I signed up as a Veteran (also qualify as a firefighter) and

Doc, JD, and others, you may be interested in this: Have you ever heard of the Indian plant neem and its use in tooth care?

Now that the update is complete and we're back in action, for some reason I can no longer access the forum on my work computer. McAfee is blocking it. This has never been a problem before. Does anybody know any way around it?

Has anyone heard anything good or bad about this one?

I would like to hear from the women and girls on the forum. If you were to design a knife handle to your liking: 1) What knife would you choose to carry (Dragonfly, Lil Native, Urban LW, Chaparral, etc.) for practical daily use? 2) How would you want the...

Hey guys,
Bought a like new in box camo black blade Millie which didnt come with the paperwork. Its not really a big deal, but I have the papers for all my other spydies, so it would be nice to have. Im OCD in that way.
Can they be obtained somewhere? I...

Any information on upcoming Millies and Paras 2 in 2019?

Does anyone know if the corrosive cleaner in a dishwasher will ruin titanium like it damages aluminium? Has anyone done it?

A couple of questions about customization or copying of Spyderco model features. And for the record, I thought long and hard where to put this post, at first I thought about Bladeforums Tinkering/Embellishment section or somewhere over on the USN forums,...

I apologize if this question has been asked before, please delete if that's the case. I searched and drowned in results, but wasn't able to find my answer(or missed it).

Will spyderco release the spyderco paramilitary 2 red g-10 - m390 blade? I want a paramilitary 2 in m390 steel and a really like the color red. My goal would be to carry it. Not a crazy knife collectors due to the fact a spend too much in other hobbies...

Hey all,

I know we got a tour of the Spyderco us factory, which was awesome. I love getting to see the faces behind those making our knives, really makes it feel more personal.

I was wondering, will we ever get a tour of Spyderco’s international...

Thinking about picking up a new phone... Still rocking an S7. From these two options, which would you pick? Does anyone own(ed) either of these and willing to share their experience? I might wait until the S10 drops, but that hole in the screen might be a...

I hope I am spelling their name right: I want to introduce you all to MAM Knives of Portugal. They appear to operate along similiar lines to the French Opinel, Nontron, and other knives, and are very similiar to other Mediterranean and Southern European...

Hello All! I’ve lurked here for quite awhile and finally signed up a few months ago. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the HQ in Golden and Gail spent probably over an hour just chatting with me while I walked around in amazement. I’ve owned a lot of...

I've been trying to find threads discussing this knife but I'm not having any luck. Civilian is too general a term, perhaps? I have one and I'd like to know more about the rationale and history for the blade design, if it's still issued to the DEA, LEO...

I have a request/question. First let me freely admit I’m a tech idiot. I have noticed that I can post pics on Blade Fourm directly from my iPhone or iPad without any issues. On this fourm that doesn’t seem to be as easy. Why? I know I pay a fee on Blade...

Looking at three different steels, what do you think of them?

Throwing this out as a poll to see how people feel about the Spyderco Travel Case that came with a Spyderco knife you purchased (not as an accessory purchased separately because you obviously liked it enough to purchase one if you went this route).

I fiund a Lil’Native at the local Cabelas, I thought “Great!, I get to try one out before buying it!” I tried it out and all I can say is “Meh.” I felt ok in the hand but trying to open it was more difficult than my Dragonfly 2. It was very smooth and the...
