Spyderco Forums

am really irritated with mine, they took that 440v lil temperance Ryno horn pe off sale just because Christmas is coming up. still about $90. "not kidding" :D

right-handed Plainedge carbon fiber civilian right :D half-price

was looking at the catalog, and there are quite a few models that don't come with spider edge aren't there. :eek: :D :confused:

Rescue and Salt I come immediately to mind, esp. the Salt - that H1 is pretty wicked stuff in SE. I've always preferred my smaller blades (< 3") to be SE and my larger blades (>3") to be PE - just my personal preference, however, as I feel the SE adds to the overall cutting power of the s...

it just occurred to me, that it might be a function of the sharpening angle, Kershaw uses a pretty steep angle but not as steep I believe spyderco. So when using the Lasky sharpening system you may actually be putting a new microlevel on the edge rather than re-sharpening the entire existing edge. t...

try a lighter touch as light as possible while maintaining proper angle. I'm still working on this.

This seems to be the general direction of things :rolleyes: :confused:

I think this is a legitimate issue, I have a large one of the largest brick-and-mortar knife shops near my house plaza cutlery in South Coast Plaza Southern California. I try to buy from them whenever they offer a spyderco at a decent price, which is rarely in their markdown area. Or something sough...

I currently have a collection of just shy of 30 knives about half of them are spyderco, 80% folders with some small neck knives and one larger fixed blade a cold steel sisu. I've had a few serrated blades in the past a micarta Calypso Jr. Which I traded a baby Wayne Goddard which I lost. paramilitar...

I recently started The Golden compass by Joseph Pullman I believe. a plan on reading the whole series of three through the holidays. And finishing the first one. in time to watch, the upcoming movie based on the novel which looks pretty good. This the book is well-done so far reminds me a lot of Cha...

I am by no means a steel expert. also but I have two thoughts to add until somebody with real experience comes on. One is that supposedly harder steals can be sharpened with a much smaller burr production which means with a very precise sharpening you can theoretically get a sharper edge because as ...

debris in the lock mechanism, is by far the leading cause of walk failure and lock backs. It doesn't look like there's anything in your mechanism. but I would look at this very closely, get a toothpick and clean it out, give it a good dab of oil open and close a couple times as far as possible, clea...

how about a saver salt handle with a Pacific salt blade, may be that powder blue color.

I am interested, in h-1 my have held out so far, I'm not a huge fan of frn the least in terms of the current models available. A firm version of the Delica possibly with titanium liner's would be good, a titanium line Frn Calypso Jr. would be better. Optimally would be g-10 ocelot like folder this t...

how bout a 3v civy

the tip is not very strong at all, is meant to be strictly a self-defense tool of last resort, the tip is meant to last for one or two devastating cuts. I am being absolutely serious is not meant to be a work tool at all. As for whether it is strong enough to do job it is meant for I assume it is we...

keep an eye on the Kershaw forum, are starting to wonder how the last eight votes were cast, for daywalker , lots of head scratching going on. :D

had to start this thread over three times to try to remain civil. Seriously though using recycled metals is out of the question, it would take a long time to explain why the I believe it is. Ceramics are just not practical outside of certain kitchen applications. Petrochemical handle materials could...

:mad: first any decrease in any part of our environmental impact on ourselves because the Earth doesn't really care and will live past is anyway, "mossy rock that it is" this will be out past by the rep at increasing our population, population grows at a staggering rate. the population of ...
