Re: Sgian Dubh, Who wants a Spyderco version?

A fixed or folding? Kind of like Ed Schempp's Euroedge? Maybe Ed can work on a design while he is recuperating from hip replacement surgery. A speedy recovery Ed!

Re: Current Byrd Back Lock Quality?

Other than your three current Seki makers, how many others in Seki that you tried are still in business?

Re: Police 4 Serrated LC200N lookout thread

If indexing is important then why not add jimping to the lock bar above the release cutout. Not overly important to me who has been carrying a Spyderco since '83, but to many it would provide traction and lock release location. Rarely seen if ever on custom order production folders.

Re: Q

I love the R2 that Sal sent to me and I posted a review back in 2011. https://www.countryknives.com/c67-rs-review/ I have been recently carrying it again as my EDC to torture test the flat ground VG10 blade. I have grown even more impressed by VG10 as a result. It holds a great edge and takes a razo...

Re: Q

The "Q" was my idea and project. It did present its' challenges. I designed the knife, the clip and the lock, which were all unique. I don't know that we could do it the same today? Would CQI dictate improvements/changes? If so, what would they be? Was the wire clip on the 'Q' the beginni...

Re: Spyderco Neck Lanyard?

I have always been concerned about the inherent danger of paracord/nylon webbing lanyards (and the same material being used for holding neck knives) as it could be used for grappling or strangling in an altercation. Also, it would never be a good idea to be wore around any machinery. That is why I h...

No dis-Respect, but after five years of carry, the Bradly Bowie is a much easier EDC.

Re: Verifying Worker authenticity (pic heavy)

When was the sharpened cut swedge changed to the longer curved transition wedge as in this Sprint Run Worker? (https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=893) As I recall both Worker models in the Evolution Set had the newer curved wedge. This is one way to tell the difference between an o...
