Spyderco Forums

I'm actually astonished that Warty/Eric is going to hit 10,000 posts in 3 years on the forum. That makes an average of almost 10 posts per day. Every single day during 3 years. No way. There is another explanation: Warty is not a person but a collective: different people who take turns and post wit...

the problem with those auto emails is that the customer still expects a follow-up and spyderco is not very good with emails in my experience. i know it's a small company, but the op is right. it's a little odd to see such a (relatively) small business that serves international customers and has fac...

The recent thread on FRN take-over and a few others on blade steels got me to to thinking how many options Spyderco offers us as consumers/collectors/fans. The many choices from Spyderco are far and away above any other manufacturers and it’s not even close. From a cost standpoint, this cannot be e...

Congrats and thank you for your generous offer! I'm in but put a condition: if I am lucky enough to win this time, I will bear the shipment costs, OK? ;) :D My favourite Spydie ..... Hard to say. I could pick half a dozen but if I was forced at gunpoint to keep just one, well, I think my Millie woul...

I honestly do not see the utility of this clipped slip except for carrying large knives that do not have a built-in clip and are uncomfortable if carried loose in the pocket. If the visibility of the clip is a problem, that problem is with the knife clip and the slip clip. And if visibility is not a...

Welcome to the forum, Cutlery88! I've only heard wonders from the Sharpmaker, but I'm afraid for those of us who have very little manual dexterity like you and me, the only safe solution is to use a guided system. Here is a picture of the latest Spydie that I sharpened with my KME to give you an ide...

Does this have the 5 clicks?

I have one very similar to this one (manufactured by another artisan workshop) and has 3 clicks. The number of clicks varies according to the size of the blade between 3 and 5 normally. If the blade is wider it has more.

That is a beautiful folder! Is that a widely produced model there in Spain, or something more upscale? I'm a sucker for a dramatic clip point :) I bought this knife some 25 years ago and it is now discontinued. But it is a typical Spanish design and you can find navajas made in "our Seki"...

I want to clarify that I intended for this post to be interpreted in a humorous tone, but of course that might not always be so obvious to the reader :) From what I've heard French gun laws are known to be quite strict, but as you highlight, it's also my impression that at least some types of long ...

They practice dog and knife hunting in the US as well. I know it’s done for sure in Hawaii and Texas because I’ve run in to hunters in the field doing just that. The dogs do most of the work, but people usually help the dogs hold the pig down while the hunter dispatches it with the knife. Not my st...

I haven’t heard about that style of wild boar hunting, but hats off to those who dare. Wounded and/or threatened wild boars are not pleasant creatures to be around. I guess in France they might not have a choice, as from my understanding guns are pretty much unobtainium for civilians there. Persona...

Hi Jull, I get the impression you used to assume hunting knives are supposed to be large . I guess some prefer them that way, but as we see in the previous replies, the consensus seem to be in the 3” to 3.5” range. As usual, I like to go smaller than the masses, even with my hunting knives. [...] T...

https://i.postimg.cc/wTQpZZnw/UKPK-Drop-Point.jpg He became a member of the family last Thursday. I already have the S110V version but the leaf shape do not quite fall in love with me. I like more stylized blades :rolleyes: It wasn't dull, but it was the least sharp out-of-the-box edge of all my Sp...

Hahaha! You may be right. I do think a limited run in the Ethnic series would sell out, quickly. I f marketed up in the frozen north it would sell out, too . Traditional design + better steel = win. And if it were marketed to saddlers, it would probably sell out too. By the way, someone should tell...

Check out this Inuit woman cutting this king salmon at light speed! https://youtu.be/w0EXRKpDVeM Try that with a regular knife! I don't think the comparison between her (with a Ulu) and us (with a regular knife) is fair. She is a professional, she makes a living from it and trains for it. To compar...

All in all, I am very happy with the Manix (as a collection piece -it is my first SPY-27) and thank you for your advice. I also thank you for putting me on the track of CT. I didn't know them and their service has been perfect. Does CT mean Coutellerie Tourangelle by any chance ? Yes, Sir. First cl...

I feel more than honored, my friend!! :) But now of course I´d like to know how you like it? Did you receive a perfect one concerning the action or a less than ideal? (The Manix 2 LW, especially the sprints and exclusives though, seem to have more not-so-good examples concerning the action than oth...

Said it in some other post: I don't care for "fashion" at all and don't have to in my job. So I normally wear jeans or climbing pants, grab the top most T-Shirt from the pile and am good to go... BUT: Quite often I DO choose my Spydie for the day by matching color...everybody needs SOME s...

Servus....She is from Fürstenfeldbruck ( near Munich). A lovely girl, but very german....in a good way. She is rather distant at first, really serious in everything she does, ordnung müss sein, very clean, but loves to relax as well, enjoys great food, loves to hike and ski. We met here in a nursin...
