Hey, All: Interesting topic. I am a big fan of full-length edges without sharpening choils; however, as a knife designer, I am also sensitive to the unique balance of the design itself and the sharpening methods of the factory. If you look closely at the OP's original post, you'll notice that most o...

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

Depending upon the condition of your edge, the abrasives you use, and the time you invest, the Sharpmaker can do much more.

Need photo of ChicagoJimbo...goodness, how does one grind that much steel and keep the temper? https://nordicknives.com/cdn/shop/products/CTF-2122_large.jpg?v=1642449680 Grind a little, dip in water a lot, drink a little (not the dipping water, something more enjoyable)... I also leave a "tab&...

Dear Ramzar: For the record, the 3.2-inch length on the Yojimbo 2 was a result of my designing the handle length to be comparable to that of a closed Delica. I have been back-pocket carrying knives for 50 years--since before Sal invented clip carry. If I am in an environment that frowns on visible c...

Thank you, Bolster, for sharping my post on the other thread here. The best I can do is explain my logic. If it suits your personal needs, great. If not, Spyderco has other knife options that likely will. For me the greatest MicroJimbo "win" happened a couple of days ago. I was walking thr...

Where is the index finger supposed to locate, on a MicroJimbo? At point A or B? I'm sure you could do either, but for which location was the MicroJimbo designed? How does Mr. Janich hold it for its intended purpose, index forward (A) or index back (B)? Dear Bolster: For my purposes, typically B. If...

Dear Windward:

Hey, All: I am responsible for maintaining the tech specs data for Spyderco. According to my master spreadsheet, I physically measured samples of the Urban Lightweight in March 2015. That's when the 2.61-inch blade length was established. Once the specs for a product are established in the spreadshe...

Dear AndrewNavr: Welcome to the Spyderco Forum. The labels for this knife were printed wrong. I just checked and the box label for the satin-bladed version correctly states REX45. The boxes for the black-bladed version incorrectly state M4, but the blades are most definitely REX45. Sorry for the con...
