Spyderco Forums

Attila, I used to use a flattening stone and the results were ok. When I jumped to a glass plate with aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, the results improved dramatically. I mean like REALLY dramatically. Thanks. I do use a glass plate and loose grit SiC to flatten my stones but not to clean them. ...

My kitchen go to Mules

Is that a Chad Kelly knife? It looks very nice!

Some advanced sharpening tips. Dress the resin stones, remove the clogged metal on the surface. This will provide a cleaner cut bevel with less burnishing from clogged metal rubbing and preventing the surrounding diamond from interacting due to the clogged metal being taller causing the bevel to ri...

Maybe with a much thinner tool, but that screwdriver trick causes potentially damaging angles. Besides bending risks, I wouldn’t be surprised if the hole in the G10 got damaged.

Anyone have a link to his commentary? I’ve never heard of this unenlightened Jim Wilson before. He sounds like a person who’s spent zero time with Spyderco knives. I say this because, having spent zero time with Emerson knives, my memory of all I’ve seen is generically the same. Despite my lack of e...

First the good news. I found my lost Manix 2 !! This is red G10 with CPM-20CV steel. It is one of my regular carry knives because I figure the bright red color will make it harder to set down and walk away from. It vanished last week just after a hike and I was convinced it had fallen out of my poc...

Don’t worry, I won’t sell what I don’t want to. 👍🏼👍🏼 Actually I think I did notice you offering to possibly (maybe) sell a second knife if it came your way, which would be very nice of you if all that takes place. And I apologize for being a bit of a smart-ass. It got me thinking about times I have...

So you are the "someone" Rymanz. Thanks. So today is a good day for the Manix 2. This one is on the way and the one I thought I lost is sitting next to me right now. I need to find some way to celebrate. I’m the only poster between you and Rymanz’s last post. Are you addressing me with th...

Mine also arrived, but the secondary bevel is HUGE on the show side. I’m going to try for another, hoping for a smaller BTE, since I’m not willing to pay for a pricey regrind.

I was getting a bit worried, but my order from GoingGear is on the way, and the OpticsPlanet order is still pending. I might end up with 2 of these!

Edit: I don't know what re-stocking soon means. Edit x2: That "Add To Cart" button is still there. At this point I'm adding this warning. I'm not sure at what point this will start over selling. Please don't get too upset if that happens. Or maybe they are just selling slower? Or maybe th...

Here’s something odd I just noticed…my knife is slightly magnetic. Just me, or a quirk of the manufacturing process? https://youtu.be/RrzYqUQMXh8 Yours is not the only magnetic blade. I’ve noticed that several, if not most of my Golden Spydercos are slightly magnetic. I don’t know if any of my fore...

I keep missing these by a few times as little as 15-20 minutes before or after the drops… Like Darby said, this isn’t fun.

I’m still hoping that the SFO gets more and I get a chance at one there.

I'll love him forever.

Congratulations, Shawn!!!!

My son is 5 months as of a few days ago, and he’s been awesome! For your sake, I hope Trevor starts consistently sleeping through the night within 2 months.

I don't want to muck up the alert thread with chatter, but I don't like those combo deals those dealers are putting on there. Knowing people COULD be desperate and do whatever it takes to get the Manix, so they combine other stock that isn't selling well at a "better price" as a combo. Se...

The turning on email notifications for the Manix Alert Thread has been how I got my two. I managed to get one of the handful of BHQ's first or second drop and have one on the way from whitemountain(thank you Buddafucco). My usual method of waking up early and checking the usual suspects hasn't pann...

I’ve also missed all reliable drops so far…
Best I have managed is an unlikely-to-be-fulfilled backorder with OpticsPlanet.

OpticsPlanet has been fine for me so far. I hope they don’t disappoint this time.

I would very much like one of these as well, and I’ve been busy during all drops so far…

Hopefully, we also get a Manix LW version too to increase my chances of a 15V Manix.
