Spyderco Forums

I have no business owning 10 Spyderco knives. It's fun collecting. I only moved into collector status last 2 months. Prior to that ID buy one a year, beat it up, get another one. Never sharpened them. That all changed recently. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/8uBR9WBBFFVYTtDlrz6Z5uBUg2dDh20y2fDiO1...

You may like to speak to someone at a local Gun Shop about cold bluing products. :)

Ahh. Forgot about blueing. Couldn't I just get a blueing kit from Amazon?

I acid etched a wire clip to get it matte finish instead of chrome polished. Any way to darken it to look like the dark grey/black finish on chaparral clips?
Thanks in advance.!

I started with smaller knives and and moving to larger. (still love my small knives for slacks) Small = Chapparal, Ambitious, BM MiniGrip, SOG VIsionary I Medium: Para 3. these got me thinking I could carry larger knives Large Recent i'v started carrying. Manix 2, PM2 I do have a Manix 2xl but I bou...

Does the peel ply carbon fiber eventually smooth out like G-10 does? Wondering if it's gonna shred my jeans for a long time or not.

I want that M390 blade, but not a fan of that blue scale.

didn't like the tip up clip depth. Went to a MXG clip I had on another knife. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/EprAZrAn4BAnPW49aKNwmrRrl8SOixhkA_jcHJmIkLXfrmfj_kLsbQpef9DjHLZe0ZA9729lN_eIH7XucH9CSTPFrct9L65uTe2WKnBPCkGDtDnLjV-InRpPDqgdxufUrf1YjQSqEa6TzzH7Sz6dtuq6FJYsZHNRmVzS04vLIpPxR79GAdz9vQtZq2Yn...

IDK if its bc i haven't used knives that dont have low rider clips, but the clip on my PM2 is pretty perfect. Im interested in a MXG clip for how it looks. I don't mind the stickout on the PM2 or Manix 2 but the PM3 def needs this clip Totally agree on the manix 2 and Para 3 assessment. My first PM...

Who knew computer guys were so into knives? ;) It's not a Mule, but I did just sharpen my Native for the first time today. I really like how this steel sharpens, not at all as difficult as I thought it would be with a high carbide steel. ZmaxSharp.jpgZmaxSharp2.jpg That is an Epic pile of cardbord ...

I know it's an old post. Would like to know method of forcing that patina.

i’d really love one of these, but over 50 bucks for shipping the the knife to europe just isn’t possible for me to justify pulling the trigger :( as for the dlc coating: are there any dlc coated toolsteel knives out there already having a patina? i’m just wondering since the dlc just gives a minor ...

I like mine so much I started taking it to the office. The blade finish is so smooth and edges are rounded unlike any other Sppderco (other than my LW Manix also in Maxamet). https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nxwm_1-OOarypRi9-qiFuls2xkHVF0W4kDpnFbTdN8N9X-kiTDqRnPtPIfNUzeJuaeB900gTumeVHxlXZG4iXdzpl_m...

I got my FRCP dark blue manix, and I'm disapointed it wasn't the older FRN version. No need for disappointment. There has never been a FRN version of the Manix 2 LW. They've all been FRCP. I honestly can't feel the difference between FRCP and the FRN that comes from Golden. I just had my lady close...
