Spyderco Forums

I've had one for about two years now. _ excellent slicer/cutter indeed. Cardboard, plastic, leather, ropes, wires, clamshell packaging ( I hate those ), plants, adhesive tape, food... whatever you need to cut, the Centofante will handle it; _ it may not be suitable for very hard use, but it's not fr...

Interesting answers. Even though there's a wide variety of opinions, three categories seem to particularly stand out : _ the classic-and-classy bunch, who appreciate subdued, natural colours (forest green, brown, dark blue etc.); _ the Henry Ford followers ( "grey is flashy enough" ); _ th...

I was about ten years old when I was given my first Swiss Army Knife. It felt so cool with all these shiny tools : blades, screwdrivers, saw, scissors, magnifying glass, fish scaler ( who uses these, BTW ? ), file - you name it. What more could a boy want ? Well... stitches and bandages come to mind...

I was searching the internet, trying to learn how to sharpen my good old SAK (which was getting a bit dull). You know how it goes... I ended up on knives forums, discovered these strange-looking knives with a hole in their blade, and finally ordered two of them : _ a Centofante III : I liked its cla...

Out of the five Spydercos I own, three have a coloured handle : blue (obviously...) for the Sage 3, purple for the Ladybug and yellow for the Salt (my latest purchase). While it's not exactly a top priority when choosing a knife, I quite like the fact that Spyderco often makes this option available....

Congratulations to all winners (and better luck next time to the others).

Great contest, great images and great calendar!

Sorry for your loss. Cherish her memory, and be strong.

Five (actually four + one in the mail).

I don't need more, but that doesn't seem to mean much around here...

I can barely open my Ladybug with one hand : the handle is not quite long enough, and the Spyderhole just a bit too small. So using both hands is in fact easier for me too. I don't really see it as a shortcoming, though, but more like a - small - price to pay to have a knife that is so unobtrusive w...

Well, I didn't even know this knife existed... and now I want one!

But I suppose they are quite uncommon, especially at that price. So I guess I'll have to make do with my Centofante 3.

Great find : enjoy it!

Hmmm... Spyder-tanto ? I like the idea. Putting a Spyderhole on japanese-style knives might be quite a challenge, though : to keep the lines as straight as possible, you don't want any hump on the blade, which means a rather large cut-out on the handle. Even so, the thumb hole would probably be part...

Thank you all for your welcome and your advice... even though you're not helping with my (slight) knife addiction (but I never thought you would) ! Im guessing you will end the year around 10 Spydies Let's see... I had two Spydies before I even came across the forum (Centofante 3 and SS Jester). I n...

I've only had the Sage 3 for a few days, but I already like it a lot : good grip, smooth opening, nice colour... and of course a very sharp blade ! What surprised me at first was its weight : my most used Spyderco so far was the Centofante 3, which is quite light. At 3.5 oz, the Sage 3 is only 1 oz ...

Hi everyone,

I've always wondered how knives are designed. The options seem to be rather limited (a blade + a handle), and yet...

So I tried to imagine how the Sage 3 (my latest Spyderco purchase, and my favourite so far) was conceived :

I discovered Spyderco knives a couple of years ago, but I only came across this forum recently. Lots of great info here ! Since then, I already bought two more knives (a Sage 3 and a purple Ladybug : I like coloured handles), and I'll probably get one of the Salt line soon. Maybe a Native, too : the...
