Spyderco Forums

We're fortunate that Spyderco is owned and run by steelheads (and I don't mean trout). Amen to that. I was introducing a co-worker to clipped one-hand openers and lent him a Delica to try out the concept. In walked another co-worker and as we talked about knives, he made the comment that I'm a &quo...

Agreed that this is a very specific, but random thread...nice! I don't think I'll be doing pizza this weekend either, but if I did, it'd be the standard complement of 4 knives. Nearly always a Military in RFP, a Cricket SE with my spare keys, one of my Mules on belt, setup for horizontal left hand d...

Awesome gesture and congrats on 3K posts.

I'm interested in updates on either this or the "missed" 204P Mule. I'd be happy for either one.

Plus it has to be extremely cheap to just get plastic rods made. I agree with you...right up to that point. Whether it's injection molded or extruded, it'll be pricey for tooling and unless there is a massive demand, short runs will be quite expensive as well. If you don't get much run time out of ...

Hey do most folks wear th swick as a neck knife? I'm thinking about buying one of these and of course I'll need to think about how to carry it. The Swicks make great little belt knives. One of the Swick 1's is on my belt most of the time when I'm working in the garage. The little Wharncliffe blade ...

Finally tested my K390 Mule.

63.8-64.1 HRC spread over 3 tests. This should be good!

Swick 2 was actually third generation. Swick 1 had two versions. A new Swick would be the fourth, technically speaking, but I'd like the idea of a third one I don't know about. True that it'll be the fourth release, but the model designation rarely, if ever follows that. I just don't want to be mis...

We have a Swick 4 in both a leaf and warncliff scheduled for later this year. Sprint runs of each. Like the others, there are slight mods to refine the design. Also has mounting holes for scales. sal Sal, This is great news! I love the Swicks and am glad to hear more are coming. There's also quite ...

Sold a PE safe queen and with the proceeds bought these, NIB. The Byrds will go in the vehicles as JIC knives. The Matriarch will be a LH backup knife and the Rescue will likely go into my range bag with the medical kit. All are impressive, but the Rescue 3 is amazing. It has some real heft to it wi...

The Spot is a great little knife, but I find the Swicks to be a bit more practical. The "scales" on the Micarta Spot were a nice idea, but the handle configuration on the Swick 2 is very well suited to putting scales if whatever thickness you like on it. It's possible on the Swick 1, but a...

Tip-down here. I like the consistency of drawing nearly every knife I own and having it open the same way regardless of how much handle is below the pivot. Tip-up can require a "shuffle" when in hand to get to the hole and I normally carry larger knives that would require that. My normal R...

Beautiful collection of fixed blades! Many people only associate Spyderco with folders and they're missing out on a lot of great knives that you're showing us.

Awesome GAW, Ted.

Hey, JLS - that is quite a "labor of love" you have there. Beautiful stuff! Question about the pinless designs. Did you use hidden pins or some other mechanical fastener - or just epoxy to hold them? I love the look... TedP Those are high compliments coming from you, Ted; thank you very m...

sorry JLS, i hate you now :D serious, i'm really jealous! you got a beautiful collection there! Thank you, it's a marathon collecting these Mules. You're part of a large group of people that don't like me, but most people have a better reason that you! You should update your signature too. We need ...

I finally finished up a couple of handles and thought I'd show my stable of Mules. This has been an amazing project from Spyderco that I really appreciate; it was the Mules that revitalized my interest in Spyderco. The whole gang is here (less the "Woodcraft Mule" that's just not the same)...

Here's another non-entry, but congrats on the post count! I love to see what you've done with the Mules. I don't know if I can pick a favorite Mule, but I find myself using some more than others. The 52100, Super Blue, Cobalt Special and Cruwear probably see the most use, but I will admit that some ...

Got one for my 6 year old and he built it by himself. The lock broke within about 2 weeks of near constant use, but he'd really enjoyed it. He also gets to play with a Delica trainer with his parents around and every once in a while, we take the time to actually cut something with a real knife. I ha...
