Spyderco Forums

Although I am liscensed to carry a firearm concealed I seldom do unless Im going to an area that I consider high threat,I avoid these places as much a possible and agree that awareness and avoidence are the best defense. I always carry at least one knife all the time and admit that it serves for uti...

Just broke the clip clean off my LW calyspo jr,never seen this happen before, it broke at the first bend after the screws, does anybody know where I can get a few spare clips, or should I just call Spy and see if they sell them? The knife is fine so no need to send it in. Thanks JON

What I ment was better blade steel on the ss handled delica 2 and endura 2 but I realize that most people who buy these knives dont care about blade steel and you would half to raise prices if a better steel was used-I would gladly pay more but I would also like to see the SS rookie back even if the...

Use super fine 1200-2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and polish in one direction per side only and this will give a factory look.

Sal, although I enjoy and use knives from other makers, in my opinion, spydercos have always had the best preforming blades, your heat treating and tempering must be very precise, even when compairing a spy blade in say 8A to another popular brand in ATS-34, your blade holds and takes a better edge,...

Bring back the Wegner and Wegner jr in S30v.
Bring back the g-10 and ss rookies or make lightweight verson of the rookie in VG-10.

Bring back the mini dyad in micarta-non knife people love this one!

Improve blade steel on endura and delica 2.

Sal?

Just saw a picture of the new C70 ATR in the 7/03 tactical knives, ti handle,compression lock,S30V.



Looks like I better start saving my money.



Also saw a picture of the new Wegner model and it looks like a winner also!!!

Considering all aspects-blade length,blade steel,function,overall size,blade to handle ratio and fit and finish, I would half to elect the VG-10 PE Viele as the clear winner!

Sal, did you see the information I left for you on the Norton water stones under the topic S30V steel?

Sal, here is the information you requested on the Norton waterstones and other norton stones in general. Waterstone grit conversons and what Norton recomends the grits for; 220=220 extra coarse, edge repair. 1000=325 coarse, establising an edge. 4000=600 fine, edge maintenance. 8000=1200 extra fine,...

Sal, first I must say that it is an honor that you have addressed me personally, you have been an important driving force in the knife world since you began spyderco and you are responsable for the knife that started it all for me years ago, a spyderco endura combo edge, it was my introduction to hi...

To 4 s ter, I want one of your temperances!
What will it take to trade you out of one?????

More and more I find my self having to decide which is better for carry while in the outdoors and hunting ect., a small fixed blade like my spy moran or a large folder like my military and its just getting worse the more I get. Which do you think is the better tool for the outdoors?

The best penetrating spyderco? Has to be the Centofante2 C50 or C25, they have a needle sharp tip and the secure lock with the linerlock to keep them from closing on your hand, although they have no form of protection from your hand slipping up on the blade which rules them out for any serious duty ...

TO Swaord and Shield are you talking about 50100b or 52100b on case knives. Also I believe the steel ColdSteel uses(carbon v) is W-2 which contains tungsten and vanadium that other cheaper carbon steels do not have.

TO HYDRAULIC MAN here are a few, Microtech is starting to use S90V on limited runs,keep your eye on them. Benchmade offers the mini afck 2,striker,710axis,nimravus,nimravus cub in High Speed Steel (M2) this is hardened to 62 Rc and is used for drill bits. Its not a stainless but they teflon coat it ...

To JMC, you should be happy with V-G 10, S30v or 440V depending on your needs, like joe said S30v is better for a thin grind and has better wear resistance than Vg-10 or BG-42, go with 440V if you use a more normal angle 15-20 degrees. One thing I might add is to get yourself some diamond stones if ...

JOE, my experience with M-2 (3 folders 2 small fixed blades) has shown me that it holds an edge as long as 440V and is tougher. I am thinking about buying a folder in S90V (few factory options) and will let you know how it preforms. Overall I think that S30v,VG-10,440v,and BG-42 are the best commonl...
