Spyderco Forums

Harry , Willey Knives in Greenwood Delaware can put Spyderco style serrations on a knife for you. Sal has recommended them in the past. Call them 302 349 4070. Its inexpensive to have done.

My favorite models come from Golden, USA . I have more Spydercos from Japan and Taiwan than I do from Golden.
I would rather buy American but I would also have to deal with the consequences of my choice if I drew a line in the sand.

go to a dealer and a handle them. anyone who owns these models may be biased and YMMV.

James

I would buy from my local dealer or Howes. No code needed for free shipping and they are much more forthcoming about stock and ETA's.
YMMV

BTW last I checked Howes has the Para2 black G10 black blade. 2 different ones . All black hardware and not.

I'd like a stretch in something other than frn even though I love the feel of the blue stretch. Its my only FRN folder . I don't buy from ebay or the forums so a sprint or production model would be nice . Leave the blade shape the same with a back lock and I would want one. I keep eye balling the di...

being a bit hyper active , I don't have the patience to eat slowly so no cutting up fruits for me. I'm funny about food. I sometimes can here myself growling when people get close while I'm eating. I grew up with 2 bigger brothers and we didn't get seconds. Sad to say I have been in fights over food...

I stayed away from this forum for a while. Trying to break my knife addiction. It worked until I returned. I picked up a brown para 2 today. Looking at knives at my dealer is one thing. I don't cave. Listening to the enthusiasm of you knife nuts throws me off the wagon. http://i1182.photobucket.com/...

I always want to read about a steel when I see a spydie with a steel I haven't heard of before. But unless it says something like "very hard to sharpen" it doesn't really matter to me. Steels and their usage is VERY complex if you're not into metallurgy. I haven't been disappointed even w...

this too and study to show thyself approved.

Good question Jack. I think understanding the contents is very difficult without knowing a good deal about metallurgy. To much of a good thing can have negative affects. Not enough and you have a mediocre steel. Finding the best working range of a steels HT is beyond me and I leave it to the testers...

Considering that 2 out of the 3 steels in Jim's category 1 testing have been used as Mules .

How about some CTS- 20cp.

Thanks for the great pic, and I agree with you on the G10. IMO, it is the best looking G10 Spyderco has made. I like earth tone colors, and also like the Foliage Green. I have all the PM2's except the Carbon Fiber, and the brown is the one I carry. I also think S35V is a very good tough all around ...

Very nice knife. I like the jimping. Was it originally like that? The Native lightweight has big jimps like that except they are squared off and way too hard on the thumb for me. I rounded the jimps off on my Native and I like the big jimps better than the little ones personally. Do you carry the k...

I won't answer this with fanboy sarcasm . I would suggest you or your dealer inspect the knife for any issues you know of.

+1 and welcome

My if only one. 440v military. My first Spyderco purchased in Jan 2011. It was on display for over 10+ years and made the same year my son was born 1997.

Welcome to the forum. Great choice on the para 2 . Its hard to do better than 100 shipped from a dealer. Congrats

James

+1 for the Para 1

410 , if you ever head to the Maryland or Delaware beaches you could go to Willey Knives in Greenwood, Delaware .They are an authorized Spyderco dealer and have quite of few Spydies. I have found some real gems there.

Ninja welcome, if you can , go to a dealer and check out what is recommended here on your forum thread. Saves you from sending something back if you don't like it and saves the online dealers from restocking a returned knife. Also from having a unhappy customer. I would buy online only once you are ...
