Spyderco Forums

Very nice of you :) Been using the Caspian to remove old fish nets and crayfish baskets from the sea floor when diving and freediving. They keep catching fish, crabs and lobsters for years after they have been lost or abandoned :mad:

I've been thinking about a ideal version of the Clipitool for use in the Boundary Waters that would match a thin Sprig-like blade with a short saw (maybe adding a second more robust blade for wood work) and came to wonder if Spyderco had ever made a saw blade before? Obviously, the serrated edge bl...

Have you had any issues with the lock face since you mention it as a negative? Both my Technos lock up perfectly with no issues what so ever even after years of use..

I agree on many of your other points, but don't really see the issue about the lock.

Orange scales and LC200N with corrosion resistant hardware. I need this for sailing :D

Nothing wrong with Vg-10, even ikea kitchen knives are VG-10.

Just their premium ones, the rest are "stainless steel" :D

The clip could be better, but it is a very nice knife. I think they overproduced sprints of it for a while and sales were slow afaik.

Small: C22 CF Michael Walker Medium: Slysz Bowie (SpydieChef for better seawater resistance) Large: CF Military Fixed: Currently that would be a Caspian Salt since that is the only fixed blade Spyderco I use regularly (diving and freediving), the ones I use normally are customs. I'd miss my Pacific ...

I shave with one at times, usually I use a DE. H1 might be a good idea, but it is a niche market and I'd be afraid it would be a money loss for Spyderco..

I don't think i could get used to the flipper tab interfering with the lock. Nice knife apart from that!

Since it has a decent size hole you can grind off the flipper I did that with my Domino :D

I touch them up when they no longer have a satisfying edge. That depends a bit on the type of knife and what I'm doing. Sometimes it isn't practical to touch it up and then I end up having to do a proper sharpening.

Ti liners wouldn't make much of a weight difference on the PPT unless you also changed that chunky steel backspacer as well. I'd think the best bet for weight reduction would be changing the backspacer to CF or using standoffs. The PPT would have been one of my favorites if it wasn't so dang heavy....

Shipping of internal parts There has been some discussion and fair amount of frustration on the question of Spyderco choosing not to ship internal parts. The subject is far more complicated than it might appear on the surface. Some of the questions that come up probably need to be explored and as u...

I prefer both my C22 Walker in CF and my Technos to the Leafstorm. It is a nice knife, but I never really got along with it. Still think it is in its box somewhere

Got any nice pics for us soon? :D

Just this old one

I have the same one and it is one of my most carried knives when in the city. Even managed to secure a spare :D

Great edc pic

Spyderco does label a returned knife as a warranty repair so there should be no issues with customs on it going back to Sweden. Afaik they have very little stock of parts for the non US knives in Golden. This might have changed though..

C22 Walker with damasteel and linen micarta scales

It gets gummy after a while (works great at first)

Why didn't you just return it? They did fix the issue for everyone who did... I guess I was impatient. I bought it right after it was released. It had the same "bumpiness" that my Mantra had and I was frustrated that the Advocate wasn't any better. Fair enough, but your impatience wasn't ...

Hey, ABX2001: I'm not clear on how it's misleading. The information provided is fact. It's pretty simple. The original washer/bearing design was poor. The fact that a small fraction of the production was returned to you doesn't mean that the others weren't affected. They were all affected. Some of ...
