Just spotted this one in a knife center video from SHOT.
CS usually miss the mark for me. I appreciate their quality, and usually good value, but their target audience is very often a different type of knife guy.

This version of the Kobun though, just...

Any idea when RESPECT or WARRIOR HAWK will be in stock again?

Even a six-month range would be great!

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

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

This was my first mule team purchase, and it just arrived about an hour ago. I slapped on the scales, stopped up, and payed through the recycling bin to find some virgin carboard...no box in my neighborhood will be safe. Anyone else's arrive today?

It's more of a make work/keep busy type of job. This is the Z-Max eating wood and pooping shavings. I have filled several big tubs and the blade has not really dulled, it has slowed...

Been using my golden stone a bunch recently and have to say I’ve been really pleased with it. Just today my wife handed me two s30v dragonflies and her vg-10 ladybug. She uses them on a ton of cardboard for her business. They wouldn’t cut printer paper....

Anyone else a fan of these? Put one on a pm2 because I never used the lanyard hole anyhow and got sick of cleaning the dust out lol. I really like it, it gives some quiet class to the knife in my opinion.

Just received a new Spydiechef. I use the knife without the pocket clip installed. As the screw used to fix the pocket clip is too long when re-installed without the pocket clip, can anyone tell me what is the actual shorter screw size that is installed...

It truly saddens me to inform all you great folks that a NFL football icon/legend just passed away. His loss here to the Kansas City, MO USA Earth area is huge to say the least. Because Lenny Dawson just departed this planet less than 2 hours ago at this...
