Spyderco Forums

I finally got my AEB-L Urban Light Weight in Coyote tan from customs, after a long battle. I’ve read all the horror stories but, at least for my knife, those are overblown.

The knife has a great look and the color is very nice. It feels good in the...

For the past 35 years of my life I've done some pretty demanding work which has caused me to have replacements for both knees and my right shoulder>> I'm getting close to being a bionic man as friends laughingly tell me all the time. What I've...

Hello from Bangkok, Thailand. I’m very new here and would like to share my story of my first Spyderco Knife, and ask for some suggestion.

I do some gardening around my house regularly and I was looking for folder that I can operate one handed for quite...

I've had my Para 3 Lightweight since May and I like everything about it except for one thing: I've knocked the wire clip off of it four times.

I've got a ton of Spydercos with the wire clip (Sages, Dragonflys, Lil Native) and I've never had this...

Hi, I picked up what I was told is an original, first release paramilitary knife. I'm trying to authenticate it. I have been sent a couple photos from a collector who has one, and i can see the stock photos on this forums site on the archived products...

Does anybody have a first release paramilitary knife they could provide me images of for comparison? I may have just picked one up and I'd like to know if it's legit. Thanks to anyone who can and will.

Where is the best place to get pre-made scales or get custom ones made for my spyderco knives?
I know this question has been asked before and I searched for the previous post but I didn't really find anything.
I did a Google search and came up with one...

First off Sal this color is so beautyfull is there anyway spyderco's can also be made in this color in the future?

I bought this little byrd to be part...

I am caught in the midst of the toothy v. polished debate. The knife in question is a Mercer Renaissance paring knife. Felt really toothy out of the box and cut like a dream. Hand sharpened on medium and fine spyderco bench stones with some stropping and...

Like many around here I think the Para 3 LW is an amazing knife! Today I was doing some thinking about which steels i'm excited to see this knife come out in and it made me think about how good of a candidate this knife will actually be for just...

How can I fix this it’s killing me because I love the knife but I can’t keep it if I can’t fix the play.

Can anybody tell me what is the value of the SPYDERCO ASSIST II FRN ?

It comes as a .pdf file. Interesting data.

It's coming and it's pointy ! Thank you Sal ! Perfect blade size and shape for me ... I shall purchase the combo variant ! Bring in the LW ones in different colors please !

Anybody have and use a Mantra 2? Looking at getting one for a more subdued carry and I’m attracted to the slim design, but wondering how the low blade height for a 3mm stock thickness impacts cutting.

Any direct experience, positive or not, is...

It would be awesome to see Alistair and Marcin come together with what I believe to be their best models the Kapara and Spydiechef. There are so many aspects of both I love and wish I could meld the two together.

Definitely a corrosion resistant blade,...

Ohio State Senator Joe Uecker, sponsor of Knife Rights’ Ohio knife law reform bill, SB 140, negotiated to include the key bill language from SB 140 in the Senate’s amendment to the State Budget, which passed the Senate yesterday. The bill will now be...

Hi guys,

Been a while since I've popped in here, had a previous account (KamSingh) but having trouble logging in.

Wanted to share a project I've been working on, please take a look at the link below and let me know what you think.

Hey so if you're sick to death of these kinda posts, I apologize but here goes. So I recently picked up a fluted ti handled Mil and it was love at first sight. The action, the ergos, everything is perfect. I thought I'd never need another big knife......

Awarded Most Innovative American Design for the Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight..
Well deserved!

As expected, shortly after NY Governor Cuomo signed A5944 into law repealing NY's gravity knife bans, New York City and DA Vance submitted a letter to the U.S. Supreme Court claiming that the new law mooted the case. They claim that the new law removing...

I found an old lighted magnifier of mine and started working on my sharpening game. Which, is ten times better thanks to the magnification!

Anyways! After sharpening a few blades, I turned the magnifier over to my Mantra 1. I have never sharpened it,...

After our huge win last week repealing New York State’s ban on Gravity Knives in order to stop the flagrantly discriminatory arrests and prosecutions in New York City of those who carry common folding knives, over 70,000 to date and disproportionately...

every time i see i picture of a ghost they have some kind of clothing on them from that time period they died in

When I got my Kapara in January, I had to take the knife apart immediately because the action was probably the worst I'd ever gotten on a Spyderco and I couldn't find them in stock anymore. It was rough as hell and the thumb/ middle finger flip couldn't...

I remember, ever since S110V came out, respective Military, PM , Native5 and Manix2 have been available at most distributors. No shortage of supplies. Same for the P4, and also collaboration products, like the Chinook 4, etc.

With recent regular...

I stopped receiving email notifications of new posts in subscribed threads a couple of months ago. I've tried resetting notifications in my control panel but it hasn't helped so far. Anybody else have this problem?

Enjoying the Best War Movies thread got me considering what I thought of the actors in them.

Jimmy Stewart has been a lifelong favourite, and his combat war service cemented in my mind his that he must pretty much have been Destry from his Destry Rides...

They photoshopped the Spyderco logo and other blade markings off. You can see just a little bit in the last picture.

Look at this everyone:

Has anyone here tried a blade swap on the new linerless G10 native 5 to the FRN LW model? I’m thinking of swapping a maxamet blade with the DLC M4, and vice versa.

Are the tolerances similar, minus the pivot having washers?

Hello.

I love Spyderco ceramic benchstones. I have a Medium, Fine, Ultra fine, and 306UF. But there is one problem. Only one.

That's Flatness.

Many people said their flatness are not good. In particular the medium stone is the worst among them....

Hey everybody, only been into Spyderco for a few months, but I'm starting to pile up a small collection, 7 knives in 5 blade steels, and I'm looking at getting an Advocate and getting the blade coated for corrosion resistance. Now I know what everyone's...

When will we see a greater expansion of the manufacture and production and application of this miraculous H1 Stainless steel?

What are some knives and tools and things you want to see made from it?

I want to see more fixed blades of different...

Anybody hear anything about a Para 2 LW/FRN handle? Just received my first Para2, blacked out blade/hardware, SWEET! I Love my first ever Spyderco, my Delica4, but the Para2 is AWESOME! Would love to see a Lightweight model released.

This post is something of a redux. My first one ever here (some luck!) got buried over the weekend so I'm offering again. SSL issue and the Mulling over the Mule post is way down the list (original posting). Excuse me if this is poor form.

I designed a...
