Probably the bumper of a large truck moving at high speeds.

Meerkat... Will it have a full flat ground blade. like the dragonfly, military, calypso jr. etc (gosh I hope so)

Sounds a lot like the fabled "Military Jr." that has been tossed around some....

Hey Thorin...

You fixed your name!!

I have also waited a long time before buying a delica. It took me quite some time to start carrying a 'plastic' (FRN) knife. Now my FRN Calypso Jr. is almost my favorite. I really like FRN. It's tough, you can carry it forever and it still looks great. Can't beat it (well, except maybe with G-10) No...

Hmmm... Where to start... The first time I saw a Military, I thought it was this huge hideous thing. I wondered how anyone could carry a knife so big. Well, it stuck in my head and I got the chance to handle one again and I then had to have one. My Military is my favorite knife. The handle is comfor...

Maybe I overexaggerated the situation with my knife. The "warping" is minimal. I'm not at all disappointed with Spyderco for selling these knives. In fact, I think it would have been wasteful for Spyderco not to have sold these knives. This is purely a cosmetic thing (and a minor one at th...

Welcome jl1!! I also have a Calypso Jr. (the lightweight one, with VG-10 steel). The blade on mine, when closed, nearly touches one scale. It turns out that mine was one of the first batch produced with VG-10 and there was some slight warping in the blade. It is my understanding that Spyderco labell...

You're doing a good job typing... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hope you heal quickly...

I figured it might look dull (like plain ole aluminum)

Thanks for the info...

I was wondering if anyone has seen an engraved almite knife handle. Seems to me that this would look nice since the silver aluminum underneath would be exposed when the almite coating was removed during engraving. Would this work? Would bare aluminum stay nice and shiny, or would it get dull and tar...

I too love VG-10. It is really easy to sharpen and holds an edge well. I was wondering what the difference (in performance and etc) between CPM-440V and VG-10. My military holds an edge well, but doesn't take a polished edge like my Calypso Jr in VG-10 will.

VG-10 for the delica and endura!!! That's great. I love VG-10. Will this also be used on the blue delicas? I was thinking of getting a blue one, but if I could get one with VG-10 I'd wait...

Thanks for the replies. The dealer that sold me the knife has contacted Spyderco. Apparently some models shipped with screws that were a bit too long. Mine has two long screws and one short. Spyderco is shipping some sort screws to me. I also figured out that a green sharpie covers small scratches o...

Plainedge worker, got it about 5 years ago, just as they were being discontinued. Paid $25 at the annual gunshow at Hillsville VA. What a deal. I'm really glad I bought that knife. (otherwise I'd still be carrying a SAK)

VG-10 and 440V... IMO, two very great, but very different steels. It seems to me that they're suited to different types of cutting. VG-10 is easy to sharpen and takes an amazingly sharp polished edge. I can get my Military (cpm-440v) pretty sharp, but not the same sort of hair-popping razor sharp as...

Hmmm.. I suspected that.

Thanks a lot Carlos...

Hey Y'all... I ordered a Lum Chinese a couple of days ago and it just came today. I suspect that this 'new' knife has been used. My first question... Which way is the clip attached from the factory (tip up or down?) This knife was tip-up, which I dont like. I removed the clip and one of the screw ho...

NOOOO you're gonna keep me hangin? Man, I need to join the collectors club. I dont have that much disposable income though...

Sal, where does VG-10 fit into the price scale? IMO, it is the best. Easy to get a very sharp, finely polished edge. I also like the CPM-440V of my Military, but the edge seems to be a little more "toothy" if you know what I mean.

Just curious...
