Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?

Used my Darn Dao to cut the thread I used to fix the sheath. Unfortunately I couldn't sew the whole thing because I broke 3 curved needles. I also forgot to use my groover to recess the stitching on the inside. If it happens again I'll be sure to use the groover.

Big thanks to the spyderco crew and my wife.

So my wife and I just had our first wedding anniversary and she knows I like spyderco. She contacted them and told them about it. They took it upon themselves to send me some goodies.

Thanks again spyderco and thanks to my wife. :bug-red

Re: Swords!

The closest I have to a sword is my condor dadao and cold steel gladius machete. I wrapped the condor handle with athletic cloth tape like they use for hockey sticks or tennis racquets. Wanted to get in on the carothers swords but funds weren't there. If busse had made this offering with a solid gua...

Re: What knife do you actually carry and use the most?

Right now during the week it's the S90V CF Yojumbo and the H1 SE Spyderhawk. All time most carried knife for me is the spyderhawk though. That never changes. Used the S30V military a lot this year too and the autonomy 2. On the weekends it's the Kris. Respect also sees a good bit of weekend carry bu...

Re: CPM-S90V knife sharpening

S90V is definitely not the easiest to sharpen when it's dull. I damaged a S90V knife before and it took a very long time to fix with a coarse diamond stone. It may take a while to see progress with ceramics.

Re: CPM-S90V knife sharpening

I use DMT diamond stones. If you free hand they are really good. Also you could try the spyderco sharpmaker with diamond stones. I'm not sure how dull your knife is but you can also color the edge with a marker to make sure you're actually hitting the apex.

Re: Mystery Box

On Reddit someone has a $250 box a Goddard and a knife in the middle with a blue spyder web on the handle. I don’t know what knife this is. I had one in my hands and basket at the seconds sale. It was one of the last knives that didn’t make the cut. Can anyone identify it? That's the Mike draper fo...

Re: Sharpening a bread knife?

I've also used extra coarse edges on PE knives with success for bread. A lot of people don't know how to cut bread and smash it while sawing it. Let the knife do the work.

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

A lot of times in martial arts training it's easy to look from the outside and say what you would do(or that wouldn't work). I've seen in person where someone questioned a technique so the teacher performed it at full speed. The what if totally disappeared at full speed but it's hard to learn at ful...

Re: Superhawk

If the superhawk didn't have the choil and was more edge I'd probably carry it more. The spyderhawk is just a better design for me. But I guess I need to give my superhawk a little pocket time. It's been a while.

I would like a corrosion resistant SE Kama, but would also go for the SE Superhawk I guess. :-)

Re: Defensive Fixed Blade Suggestions

Sounds like you need a swick. It can be used like a push dagger too and you can put it on your pinky and use it like a karambit.

You can also use your thumb over the spine to hide it while holding it.

Re: Knife Battle

I'd pick the CF yojumbo and I'm carrying it today.

But for the battle CF S90V Yojumbo vs Kris. I choose both which is why I'm currently carrying both.
