Spyderco Forums

Mine took about 4.5 weeks but it is as good as new.

I forgot how light and compact it was and I sure did miss it! "The cutter" is back and sharp as ever and I was very excited to get it today. They did a great job on sharpening and taking the small nick out. I am really happy with it. Since I bought the delica I have bought a sharpmaker and...

Thanks for the detailed information I appreciate it. I can get it to open quickly with a flick of my wrist but I just seen a few vids of people opening them fast without wrist movement. You should be able to tell when your knife(s) are broken in. With the proper pivot screw adjustment they should op...

I see all those youtube videos of people opening up their Spyderco and Byrd knives so fast and slick but I just can not get mine to do that. I tried to loosen the set screw and spray some oil in there but it does not seem to open as nice as what I am seeing online. How do you guys get them to open s...

Nothing stinks worse than a smoker and everything they come in contact with. They stink worse than someone that has took a swim in raw sewage. Try the alcohol bath then spray it down with febreeze. I would toss anything that was fabric or cardboard or plastic, I would say there was no hope for those...

i rooted my galaxy note and my galaxy s3 and had no issues,super simple.

Okay thanks everyone for the very helpful info, I will give it a shot when I get it back and it gets dull again.

I did do all 3 steps, maybe I did not do 20 on each side on each step. I will try again the next time the knife is dull, thanks.

I bought a hawkbill just because it was cool looking. I switch back and forth each day between it and my delica. They both cut equally well and both are nice, light, thin and very sharp.

Well as you know I bought my first Spyderco, a razor sharp arm cutting Delica zdp-189 lol. I love the knife, it is so light and thin and with the clip I do not have to worry about losing it when I have it in my pocket. Well I also recently bought a hawkbill (love it) and a sharpmaker. After some pra...

Heal fast!

lol, why of course!

i was pulling a velcro strap taught like a piece of rope in my left hand to cut through with my right hand. the blade went through the velcro then kept going till it hit my arm.

Yeah it is healing well, thanks everyone. It made for a scary day but now I will have a cool story and scar to show off lol. I did indeed have to get a tetanus shot :( so that was icing on the cake. Hopefully it will not happen again, I keep picturing what I did in my head and see how stupid it was....

I bought my first spyderco, a Spyderco Delica 4 Green ZDP-189 Folding Knife from Amazon for $83 and when it arrived I was amazed at the sharpness and how nice slim and light it was. I liked the clip a lot and tried it on my pants for a few days and it just fit me well. I was having fun cutting cardb...

Bought one, great size and very sharp. Thin and light enough to clip to my pocket and forget it is there.

okay, thanks a lot for the info.

Is the Byrd meadowlark hawkbill and BYRD HAWKBILL FRN the same knife? I see them priced differently or named differently with what appears to be the same specs on different sites. I do not see the meadowlark hawkbill listed on the spyderco catalog so I assume it is the same knife?

I'm in. I am not sure what my favorite steel is but from what I have read so far I think the ZDP-189. Thanks!

Thanks for all the great info, it is really appreciated and very helpful.

Also, is the combination edge, spyder edge or flat ground the best for everyday general use? I was looking at the combination edge (vg-10) but I understand it is harder to sharpen the serrated edge.

I understand the zdp-189 is not available in all the adges above.
