Spyderco Forums

If you had your next knife purchase narrowed down to these two bad boys, which would you choose?

I know all the stats. I’m more interested in which knife ticks the most boxes of the users here on the forums.

(And if you feel like giving a brief...

I just tried out my King C Gillette today and.all I can say is WOW! I started wet shaving and using safety razors about a week ago. I started off using the Van Der Hagen safety razor. I won't call it junk as peoples skin and preferences differ. But after...

Ive used stropping to finish edges for quite a while. While I find chrome oxide and iron oxide work well on razors, ive found something better in the wood working world for knives.

It is called Herbs Yellow Stone. Appears to be aluminum oxide from what...

Virginia HB 2298 that would remove switchblades from the list of weapons that cannot be carried concealed in the state has passed out of the House Courts of Justice Committee by a bipartisan vote of 16-4.

Recently picked up a Kapara in 20cv, and it came with black linen micarta scales but they are pretty shiny/slick, and didn't come with the original G10 unfortunately. Between the thin/small handle and the slick scales I can't say I'm a fan of how it feels...

Got these two off eBay. The Delica was tipped and the Rescue 93mm had gouging and rust on the blade. Overall I think I did them justice and breathed some life back into them. The Rescue with the finger groves is going to my Fire fighting brother. I think...

Just wondering if the Police will be coming out in near future . I have noticed old stock is depleting and maybe the new screw construction stainless will be released ? MG2

Hi I have the ukpk and lil native but would really love a native 5 in the slipit version so I can carry it in the uk maybe a para 3 slipit version. Any slipit all 3 inches would sell great in the uk

The super blue DF2 landed. It was a natural buy for me. I love the dragonfly, I’d yet to own a laminated Spyderco, I hadn’t owned a zome model yet and most importantly, it’s the first super blue I’ve ever encountered. The gray is a little lighter in shade...

Knife Rights’ Mississippi bill to enact knife law preemption, SB 2383 , is stalled in committee. The deadline for a hearing is Tuesday!

I recently got back into spydercos last year after realising one day while driving for work I live rather near the factory. Used to be really into spydercos in college, which transitioned into benchmades after college. I picked up the catalog at the...

Whoops! Duplicate thread. Mods, please close?

Until then, check out Josh's thread here.

What I wouldn't give for a K390 Manix 2 lightweight; or a G10 version improved with more bulbous and contoured scales, similar to the shaman. That could be the CQI Version 3!! The Manix 2 already has superb ergonomics, a reliable locking mechanism and a...

I love the Stretch XL in Grey g10 with Cruwear and I also love the Ayoob in Grey g10 with Cruwear.

I have never been able to get a Ulize and I think it would be just as amazing as the other two in Grey g10 and Cruwear.

That recurve is calling me.

Longtime Knife Rights Texas bill sponsor, Representative Harold Dutton, has introduced HB 1311, a bill that would remove two commonly visited places where Location-Restricted Knives (knives over 5 1/2 inches) are banned. Those locations are restaurants...

Our repeal last year of Virginia's ban on switchblades (automatic) knives did not include repeal of the ban on concealed carry. Our good friend Delegate Lee Ware, who sponsored the first attempt at repealing Virginia's switchblade ban in 2017 (vetoed by...

Any news when the C07p model with screw construction will be available?

Possibility I can get the exact size of the ladybug pivot collar size? Want to replace them with some copper or brass for some more pop :smiling-cheeks :bug-red-white

Hi, i'm looking for Fred's e-mail.
Can anyone help me with it?

Thx

Jim

Just wondering if there will be one again next year....

Here is an interesting video I came across I think some would enjoy. I had no idea there was so much technological advancements in abrasives.

OK, this isn't so much of a forum issue as a Spyderco.com issue:

When searching for a particular model of a knife at Spyderco.com, I've noticed the search box is seriously unintelligent.

Just One Example:

Slightly peeved so please excuse my typos :winking-tongue Is there a resource I’ve missed that can help point me in the correct direction for replacement hardware? I recently acquired a used discontinued model and upon disassembly for routine cleaning...

Went to show today expecting to find all sorts of Counterfits, or Junk knives with Spyderco Hole, or Bug Logos.

Below is all photos I took, nothing at show.

Not even anything interesting in knives, except junk import autos, and OTF junk from Asia.

If anyone at Spyderco is listening, please release more models with the left-handed compression lock. My preference would be the Shaman. Thank you.

Now that the Rescue Clipitool is discontinued, I would like to posit for consideration the possibility of replacing the Bottle opener blade on the standard Clipitool with the hooked blade currently on the Rescue Clipitool. One can still pop bottle caps...

Anyone have any experience with these? I believe they're one of the makers from Seki that Spyderco uses, so I'm sure the quality is fine. But how about function? Wondering how many bills it can fit, and general ease of use.

I've stripped the pivot pin on my Spyderco Advocate but Spyderco says that they don't have any of these in stock for repair because it's discontinued. I wish there was an Advocate graveyard of beat up knives where I could source a part. I just need a new...

Hello,

Subject sums it up. I am wondering if anyone knows whether Gayle Bradley is still making (and taking orders for) custom knives and if so, how I would contact him.

I cannot remember when his website was last up and running, but it seems like...

Greetings,

Could anyone tell me when Spyderco switched from the leather Style zipped pouch for the Civilian to the full Nylon pouch like in thsee pictures?

Thank you!

The article is in Blade HQ's Blog and thought some may want to read it:

I don´t mean to pry, but will/could the other Golden models also get the 15V treatment as Sprints, similar to how REX45 was handled. Or is this a definite One off?
Kind regards, even if you might not be able to answer at this point. :winking-tongue
