Spyderco Forums

With Lee being no more than a minor nuisance to most of the East Coast, our attention turns to Nigel (which will in all likelihood turn out to be just a fish storm) and then Ophelia, whose dark intentions are still way too unknown to even begin guesswork....

Hey, traded for this on Facebook. The box looks fake, but I can't see why the actual knife would be. Forgot to take pics with it apart, but it's running SDK scales too, which I don't know why someone would throw those on a fake. Thanks for looking

TopKnife on Etsy appears to be a counterfeit seller of lots of Spyderco knock-offs. I could be wrong but the prices are too low and the printing on the blades doesn't curve.

I recently acquired a para3 combo edge. Nothing fancy, just the normal stock model. I noticed that my stock pm2 and stock m2 both come with brushed finishes, but the para3 comes with a non brushed finish.

Is this because of the combo edge, or is it a...

Wow, a PM2 in VG10! :eye-roll

Anyone here play Dayz?

I’m new to this game.
It’s quite good but it can be frustrating.

Hey guys,

Hoping we could do a little group sleuthing. These are two Shaman that I have, with some noticeable differences between the two. I genuinely cannot tell if these are differences within production knives, or if there is significance in terms...

Interesting story. The Canadian government is trying to save creators of news by charging fees for linking to publishers articles. I don't think it is going to work, I think it will backfire because advertising revenue will drop off.

People who want to...

I’m curious if there would ever be the chance of a Byrd variant of the shaman? Same ergos but I wouldn’t expect the compression lock. Give it a lock back so the price point stays low. Maybe there’s something similar that I’m not thinking of. I handled...

Hi team 😊
Do any of you have a spyderco Mantra 1 or 2 to measure the BALL diameter of ball bearings with a good caliper?
Because I have a mantra 1 but the previous owner replaced the bearings with washers and lost the original bearings and I...

A pre-coffee post. I thought I was in the main forum. Apologies, have moved the thread there.

Virginia Switchblade Concealed Carry Legalized: As of July 1st, concealed carry of automatic knives is legal in Virginia. This follows on from our repeal last year of Virginia's ban on switchblades (automatic) knives that did not include repeal of the ban...

Anti-Second Amendment forces are trying to repeal Preemption in Ohio. SB 78 is a dangerous bill that if passed would repeal the entirety of Ohio’s preemption law, including Knife Law Preemption which was just enacted last year after six years of Knife...

Knife Rights' Texas Knife Law Reform Bill, HB 1311, has passed the full House with a unanimous bipartisan vote. We thank our bill sponsors, Representatives Harold Dutton and Ryan Guillen, for their efforts, and all of you who emailed to get this bill out...

Ha, figured out how to post pictures! This one happens to be my small kitchen knife collection also including my Endura which gets package opening duty while I cook. :grin-big eyes

I also have a Dexter Chinese Cleaver which is not in the picture.

Knife Rights has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the City of Philadelphia’s ban on “use or possess(ion of) any cutting weapon upon the public streets or upon any public property at any time,” as well as within 100 ft. of any school. Joining Knife...

After intense lobbying and your hundreds of emails, Knife Rights' Texas Knife Law Reform Bill, HB 1311, was voted out of the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee by a bipartisan 9-0 vote. A floor vote is soon expected. We thank Chairman Joe Moody for...

Just received my SPYDERCO Product Guide dated 2023.

Wow! How nice to have screws on the LIGHTWEIGHTS (Have 3 now - and the old LW Manix Maxamet (3rd EDC) is really TIGHT to open; the 110 is fine) and I wish I could adjust or change the springs.

I...

There are some quite interesting bits in this series, not least how difficult it is to make a lock and the benefits of serrations.

OP FORCE and others -- Warrior Hawk in stock!!!

Drop me a message if you get one!

I'd love to know how many people got one becuz of my message.

IF you don't mind!

Just got this Blade HQ Kizer Maverick Customs Harpoon in 10v and thought I would share.

The blade is ground thin but it's hard to measure BTE with the thick coating. I'm not sure what the
coating is but it feels rough. Blade length comes in at 3.75 or...

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin signed HB 2298 that removes switchblades from the list of weapons that cannot be carried concealed in the state.

NOTE: Repeal does not become effective until July 1st. Until that date, concealed carry of automatic...

I stumbled across outletspyderco.com but the old adage if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is rang true - Edit, after digging a little more I see this is indeed a fake site.

Is it safe to say, in general, if the company is not listed on the...

I lost the bolt and spacer closest to the lanyard hole on my Para 3. I know spyderco won't ship and you have to send knife in.

I find this overkill for a bolt/screw.

Anyone selling these parts?

Thanks - R

Handy chart. Decent website.

If you scroll to the bottom of the chart you can see how good teams are doing all over the league. Looks like they give one point up for a win, 1 down for a loss, and a horizontal move for a tie or a bye.

I only basically own spyderco knives but it is interesting to watch the thin slicey lightweight frn magnacut hogue deka sell out around the world. There is a lesson to be learnt here I think. There is a market for lightweight thin and slicey especially in...

If anyone was curious as to whether the Skiff bearings improve the Southard my answer is an emphatic yes. I believe mine was an early run before some of the improvements. Great lockup but had to light switch just right to get it to deploy, and it was...

Knife Rights supported Nebraska Constitutional Carry bill, LB 77 which includes knives and preemption, will be up for a vote in Nebraska’s unicameral legislature shortly, possibly before the end of this week.

Love my PM2 's and the Para 3's,

But hey guy' s, don't you think it's time for li'l Native sized mini PM2?

And when I'm already at it, a keychain PM2 at some point in time would be nice.

Any thoughts? Sal?

Any thoughts?

My latest Spyderco is the Shaman.
I found a video with Eric Glesser who performed a great technical description and break down of the Shaman.
Thanks Eric.

Has anyone seen this?
I have & it's just glorious!! :smiling-heart-eyes
Hehehe, I actually LOVED watching the original silent rage when I was a kid with my dad.....back then it was such a cool movie.
But, Riff Trax, the guys from Mystery Science...

Has Spyderco indicated when they plan to have Magnacut available in the Paramilitary2?

When I seen this name Castillo it took me back to my old Miami Vice days. I spent a many Friday Nights watching that great show. I had no idea that Lt. Castillo was part of our Spyderville community. But I do want to wish Castillo a very Happy Birthday...

Hello,
Unless I missed it I cannot find a green Dragonfly Salt in LC200n (or any info about a current plan)
Does anyone knows something?
Best,

I don't post pictures here because photo hosting is a PITA. If anyone is curious about seeing a Byrd Fillet Outlining tool, the pics can be seen here.

Hey Lance.....How are those Cubara scales treating your edges? :winking-tongue
