Spyderco Forums

Count me in _ see you on the other side !

I guess if it was me a folder would not be my primary while tramping , a large camp knife , ( Perrin ? ) for example would be my first choice . A folder would be my secondary to do the small chores were a biggie is not an option . Nothing wrong with the Military , I don't own right handed folders bu...

Thanks for the info and tip . I was not aware of this feature and am happy to hear from anyone outside the Forum and glad I am not part of any problem . Big Thanks to ALL !Love this site

Thanks Sal for your comments and I fully support them and our troops . Since I have picked up the Native I have had mixed feelings owning it . It could have been better served in someone's pocket in Iraq than setting in my selfish collection of knives . I had a discussion with a Legion member last n...

I have no problem with lockbacks , all linerlocks are rightie at this time so that is a no go for me . The compression lock is another story , love my new SS ATR and yes I can open and close one handed but seems to be a two handed operation for righties . This may be the reason some people are not w...

I recently got an email from a Forum member , not sure how the address was accessed . I was curious how he could he email me .

I thoght there was a difference and I am checking some resources to do some clips in the near future . I know some industry people who can do "government jobs" for me , it is just a matter of knowing what hardware they have access to do the job . Zrexxer did you email me about the SS ATR ?...

I prefer larger knives ( a Delica , Native is small to me ) , I feel a larger handle provides safer control when cutting or any other situations . If a smaller knife has great ergo qualities , such as the Kiwi , or a small Dyad , they find their way in my pocket on days where a biggie is not a good ...

Got my Iraqi Freedom Native yesterday from my buddy . Handle is lighter in color than I expected from the pictures , and it comes in a clam pack no box . Hope I can find the Afghan Native someday .

Hey guys , is there a difference between shot blast and bead blast ?

I have a special place for the Golden Spyderco knives but that has never stopped me from any Japanese model . The knives mentioned are hard use knives and mine have all held up very well . Great reply Joyce , now about that carbon fiber Dyad you teased me about .....

Just got my Iraqi Native yesterday with the shipping refunded from Skirby .

Welcome ! I just had to reply , anybody with a username of Dyad has to be a classy Spyderknut . Great pic , very honorable .

Great design , no lefty ? . Dialex , you are slowly converting me to appreciate smaller knives which eventually will cause me to become bankrupt .

Thanks Dialex , I have to adjust the pivot today , when I went to pull it out of my pocket early this morning the blade partially came out and caught my pocket and sliced my middle finger . You are right the Ti ATR will have to come my way , this is quickly becoming a big favorite .

Sorry to hear of this misfortune in health . I will pray for you to have the strength to beat this terrble disease . Have Faith !

Thanks guys , I guess I need a current generation black handle !

I feel your pain and give Spyderco knives away myself . Just gave my Goddard to a friend who may be headed to Iraq in the very near future . We exchange knives as presents for no reason just friendship . Early this year he gave me a Godson so it goes .

Great knife ! I gave one to my wife , she workks in the landscaping business and wears it at work .Great cutting power in a small package , plus we are both left handed so no need to change clip if she allows me to use it . Ha Ha ! I have the larger blue handle Rescue and is in my pocket often while...

Need some help . I would like to buy a Salsa but pictures of the knife at times show it to be a right handed clip only and other pics and literature say it is ambidextrious . What is the correct ?
