Spyderco Forums

Just dyed my GPKnives Rex45 LW. It's just as easy to operate after as it was before. Yeah, what the OP is experiencing is certainly not the norm.

Ok, first ever attempt at dying. Rather pleased with the results.

I think it was offered for sale on the site for a VERY brief time. Some folks commented about that on another thread which is what motivated me to pay them a visit in person. The SE's trickled in at first too, so I suspect they'll have more PE's again soon.

I’ve oiled FRN natives. I only had a 5 for a little while but my 4’s are fine, rivets and all. You could try a tiny amount of lithium grease. But I suspect you’re just tightening it too much. That's another likely possibility. Came home with this LW today, and it's smooth as silk. https://i.imgur.c...

Spyderco has done a great ivory FRN on the straight spine Stretch 2. I loved the color, but others weren't so thrilled I think. It was quickly replaced with other colors. GPKnives did a run of Native 5 lightweights in white last year (in Rex45, great steel) that seemed to take a while to sell (took...

Congrats! I love mine. Saw one today for sale but was tapped out or I'd have picked it up.

Nice head-to-head comparison of Golden's and Seki's yellow FRN. This thread is making me interested in the Native 5 Salt for the first time... :face monocle The N5 Yellow is more of mustard in comparison. Fist time I saw one, I didn't think to compare it to a Seki. I remember saying it looked the s...

I went straight to the source, couldn't wait, so I went to see the Wizard!

Scored two knives I've been wanting for quite some time today.

Sorry for the crappy pic but I had to share:



Was surprised to not only score the PE Magnacut but also the Hawkbill in H2!

Got it! Fit and finish is superb. Came with quite the edge as well. Glad to finally have one.

Glad you got lucky! I'll get one eventually. I kinda got lucky last week when I snagged the last Rex45 N5 GP Knives had. Gonna find me some Rit dye and have a little fun.

Got me a PE.

I dislike you, so jealous, lol!

Getting the N5, the clip on that PM2 is in the wrong spot!

Hmm, for me, I tend to carry a PM2 more often than an M2. But, that is probably because most of my cutting needs don't require a knife as sturdy as the M2. But when I anticipate some heavy duty cutting, an M2 always finds it's way into my pocket. Don't see myself ever getting rid of either model.

Another thing, I probably would never have become a fan of SE had it not been for that Hawkbill. First, I just love the looks of that blade, hence my buying every Hawkbill Ladybug I ever come across. But more importantly, because it is so budget friendly, I finally learned to sharpen a SE knife by j...

Maybe it is already in the works :shush Though we wouldn't be able to add it as regular production, but it would make a nice Sprint for those that didn't get a chance to "taste" the design when they were out. sal That would work for me. Only have one, in VG10, so I'd love the K390 version...

I hear ya, I'd be down for more than one for sure. K390, Jester, each is awesome by itself but combined? Wow, a winning combination!

Been a while since I've posted in these parts, but I just had to big up the SE Meadowlark 2 Wharncliffe. It makes for a great warehouse work knife: thin & slicey bladestock great for breaking down cardboard, tough enough to pop even thick pallet straps, a relatively compact form factor that sti...

I've never considered lubing a linerless FRN knife, since none of mine are sticky. Just lucky I guess, but I have a dozen or so. You may have gotten un lucky with that particular knife. Hope you get it straightened out. No other without bushing to compare it too. Just might be the nature of the bea...
