Worker Shadowbox
This is a project that I have been thinking of for a while now. Finally had a few hours available so here it is. I wanted to make a little display for desk or shelf showing the first Spyderco knife. I really did not want to lock away my first-gen Worker in a box so I made one for the display. I star...

Tires
Slashing tires wouldn't work since half the time we were riding in the same car from the hotel to the show. Need to figure out a better way. Actually there were enough knives to go around. I spent more than I had planned but that is a good thing. People in the hunt are always searching for different...

We really did have a great time at the show. My arm is still a little sore from trying to restrain Felly from all the nearby Spyderco deals. And my ankle is sore from trying to trip him as he was running toward more rare spydies. And my neck is still sore after the police clubbed me for falsely repo...

I would like to mention that Ed's son Martin is one of the best flintknappers out there. His work is awesome! Felly and I will be tag teaming helping at one of the show tables but hopefully we can meet some other forumites.

Oregon Knife Show
Just curious how many of our fellow forumites plan to be at the Oregon knife show in Eugene this weekend. I know Felly Jr will be there among others. Felly has agreed to keep his wallet hand tied behind his back to make things more competitive. I believe Spyderco will have a presence as well. Anybod...

Holy Grail Knives
The #001 Two-screw Worker has to be top of the list. I believe Sal has a two-blade Civilian. There are some lucite prototypes in Spyderco posession that would have to be very cool. Any white-handled knife is uncommon. The TTZ Probe is rare, (only seen one for sale). The Pre-Diver is also very hard t...

Farewell
I hate to see the little guy go. After all, it did bite Felly. :p Perhaps it has developed a rudimentary form of intelligence. We must clone him, (or her?). The only question is Delica 3 or Delica 4 for the donor body.

Worker 2000
The knife in question is the famous, (or infamous), Worker 2000. Through a complicated series of events this knife was misplaced for seven years. Finding it was a one in a million coincidence. It will soon be reunited with the original owner. Now we just need to make another Worker 2000, or four for...

Worker 2000
Worker 2000 rings a bell. Not sure if it was one or two or ? made. Very interesting find. We should know for sure in two weeks. I think we need a Delica 4 Worker 2007. What do you think?

Mystery knife
I was wrong on the Mosquito connection. It has been a while since they were discussed and I had forgotten that they were based on the Ladybug. This knife looks like something that was modified at the U.S. Spyderco factory. I am basing that on where we found it and from where it came. I suspect it wa...

Dremel
Dremels are good for some things and not so good for others. When dealing with blade scratches I usually don't use a Dremel as it tends to be a little too aggressive. First off I accept the fact that because of the hardness of Spyderco blade steel I can make the blade more acceptable looking but usu...

Dremels
I agree on the chucks though I remember the original versions that you had to use a wrench with. I spent an evening in the ER with a tiny piece of metal in the clear part of my eye. Really an unpleasant night. I am religious about protective eyewear. One other consideration might be an appropriate d...

Dremel fun
I use a Dremel tool every day. They are great for light buffing/polishing as well as rust removal with the steel wire-wheel. The danger is that they can be overly aggressive. The grinding wheels can really heat up a small area quickly and ruin the heat treat. The sanding discs and grinding wheels re...

Thickness
I think that I like the idea of a thin Worker, (lighter, thinner in/on the pocket). At the end of the day it comes around to compromises. Good informative thread guys. One thing that I thought of doing is a little shadowbox display with a copy of the original patent in the background and a flat-side...

Worker Thickness
I looked at my early three screw flat-edge Worker and it had a thin scale on one side and a thick scale on the clip side. My newer rounded-edge has equal thickness on both scales. Based on that it would appear that the Evo Worker is a newer thickness, un-rounded/flat-sided Worker drilled for only tw...

Two-screw vs. three-screw
I think you are right on that Deacon. Does anyone have the thicknesses measured between the models?

Two-screw clip
Here is a thought. Is it possible that the two-screw Worker brought back for the Evolution Set is really a three-screw Worker with a special two-screw clip? It looks wide enough to cover a third hole. Because of the thickness changes the 1993 Evo two-screw might be a newer fatter three-screw Worker ...

T-Mag
Sal handed me the prototype a while back and asked me if I could figure out how the lock worked. I was stumped. It has a fair amount of closing resistance and is a very comfortable knife. I have not seen the production model yet, but based on the prototype I think it will be a hit. spyderwa Rare Spy...

bead blasting
I don't want you to think that I am totally against beadblasting. Just be a little extra watchful. Many companies beadblast their knives. Sometimes because it covers up tooling marks on the steel. You can make a less expensive knife blade look better for less money. One situation that I totally like...
