Thanx much KGM.

Think twice, type once.

A batch went into QC yesterday.

The offset lock-bar was an engineering challenge. We had to make a number of prototypes to "dial it in". Daywalker's drawings were more "idea sketches" than actual drawings. I couldn't open the pics of the colored FRN models so I couldn't see them, although thney sound nice. than...

Hi MG2,

Sorry 'bout that. Guess you'll have to let is fix it for you. yours is the first I've heard of, thanx for the "heads up". I'll check mine.

Great story Tony.

I found that a small bowl of ammonia in the right location does wonders for warding off raccoons, and bears as well.,

Hi Tomahawk, Chill dude. ;) I don't think anyone is getting upset. We've been making knives since 1981. Of couse it is an advantage to be able to hold and test a knife in a store, but most stores are reluctant to carry Spydercos. They are expensive. They look unusual to the inexperienced knife user....

I like that one.

Will it be available for everybody or only military and LEOs?

Sorry, it will be a restricted item. :rolleyes:

We brought the molds to the US and we're working on making it in Golden.

It was considered an auto by customs. 1" blade and all.

Thanx Gull Wing.

Very nice pics.

Seems simple doesn't it?

Put new slabs on, made of micarta, G-10 or whatever is to your fancy and get a kydex or leather sheath and you got a super duper outdoors knife.

Piet, Modifying isn't always upgrading.

By the way... I'm not saying that just because there aren't a lot of Cops carrying Spydercos in Tampa Fl... Hi Tomahawk, It's easier for me to believe that your friend is mistaken. 1200 interviews is quite a few and his conclusion is, in my opinion, unrealistic. P.S. I carry a Cold Steel Viet-Nam T...

Hi John, When someone has a problem with a Spyderco knife, they usually contact our customer service dept. which is dedicated to serving your needs. When someone posts on a public forum about a problem with a knife, they are usually seeking information from others about the knife. Sharing experience...

Hi Joe, Thanx for the kind words. Now if I could only get Sal to make a sprint run sometime of the even better vascowear/cruwear ( tougher, better wear resistance, though not as good corrosion wise as D2, but not as bad as say 1095 either) Maybe Vascowear might make an interestinf M ule Team. I have...

We've been making minor "tweaks" to the design for a while. What we really need to do is upgrade the design. We've just been too busy. We've had discussion in the past about what improvements to make, maybe later this year we can address again what you would like to see improved and why. sal

hi Tomahawk, Interesting question. Even more interesting posts. I'll try to shed some light on the discussion. Regarding your cop friend, I fon't know who he's talking to. We sell thousands of knives to law enforcement, military and rescue personnel every month. It's our largest market segment. We m...

We have a design for a G-10 D'Allara. Some refinements were made to make it narrower closed. There were also a few other modifications made that we learned from the FRN version. It still uses a full sized ball instead of a cage because I believe the "open free ball" works well with the des...

Piet.S wrote:Will the Sage also come out with locks that are not been used before on Spyderco's?

yes. We have found quite a few locks that have been developed over the past 100 years.

Hi Chad, Aloha Sal, This would be awesome, so how about if you dropped the Lava from the "official" Spyderco line, and did this dreamy G10 version out of that factory in China that did a great job on the Tenacious? The factory in China that makes the Tenacious, while very good at linerlock...

Different handle materiala for each lock.
