Spyderco Forums

That older Generation of the Endura model are an unbelievably tough folder>> particularly the G-2 (GIN -1) model and the AUS-8 model as well. I don't know why but it seems like those 2 blade steels really take punishment well and the blades of those 2 steels just dont chip badly at all.: My first g...

I see a fully serrated blade as a knife I'd carry for a specific purpose or environment - if I am cutting a lot of plastic or nylon material, working with wet of slippery material, etc. They are not usually my "full size" EDC but my serrated Ladybug is always on my key chain in case I need...

It will never happen but I can dream - seeing Benchmade have discontinued the Dejavoo, a Spyderco collab with the late Bob Lum's All Rounder .... that leaf blade just looks a lot more suited as a Spyderco collaboration. Seeing I'm dreaming, make the sharp and pointy bit from 3mm M390 stock. On a mor...

Here's a set of well abused teeth. Delica 1 (AUS 8) that was really abused during a few office moves. Drywall, data cabling, prybar .... the whole abuse thing. http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag83/psquared13/th_Delicaneedsdentist.jpg While I had the macro lens and extension tubes out : Lil Matri...

Very nice Marthinus but I think you have too much time on your hands, tyd dat jy 'n vrou kry :)

It is a stunning knife and been on my wish list for a while but I'm not sure I understand the pricing of it. Comparing it to a Large Chinese : both VG10, made in Japan. Both liner locks, similar size (Starmate 0.5 oz heavier so there is possibly more material), both G10 on stainless liners and colla...

I'd go for the Centofante 3 for the reasons you mention. I find it a very comfortable knife to use, very practical EDC blade length, reasonably sheeple friendly and it takes less space in pocket than a Delica. It is one of the few Spydercos that I have a spare of in my safe for the day they get disc...

1. Ladybug - because it is on my keyring, it is with me every day. My "big" knives rotate daily, this guy is always there. 2. Large Chinese - takes up a lot of pocket space but when it is out and cutting stuff it makes it worthwhile. 3. Stretch - great design, great ergos and you know you ...

sal just sent me an email with a picture of the new forum knife enjoy http://www.crosswordese.com/Images/shiv.jpg :o Now THAT is jimping!! A certain U-tube reviewer [edited remembering the shiny footprints]!! I would have preferred pink handles but I'll still take one of these Shank-lock thingies

I got the Cuscadi replacements for the Delica that donated it's orange scales to my Lil' Matriarch yesterday. The grooved G10 just takes that Delica to a whole new level!! I really like FRN when I know my hands are going to be wet, cold or slippery but this is almost an NKP / office environment knif...

+1 I'd take at least 2 in an instant. I'd take an Endura as well.

If I had to choose steel and colour, keep it simple and attractive to non spydernuts as well : FFG VG10 and sand / coyote / tan G10

I wasn't sure the Techno would be a keeper until I carried it for a few days. I much prefer the tumbled finish to the Sage 2 finish. Lock up is solid and once it had been through the Edge Pro, the edge is holding up well (I got one with bevels that my Sharpmaker wasn't sorting out easily). Whilst on...

Nice! How solid is the lock-up? The Salt / Delica 3 has a shorter lock bar than the Delica 4 so you wouldn't have swapped the lock bars as well (as I did when I did my Lil Matriarch / D4 blade swap). If the blade / lock bar interface is perfect I can see myself putting coloured scales on a Salt (not...

This morning cut irrigation pipe with an SE Delica 3 .... the teeth just glide through HDPE .... [ATTACH]20717[/ATTACH] This evening the USN Catcherman cut up a snack. Earlier I'd used it to trim the salmon as well. It doesn't work quite as well as my sashimi knife but it was more fun. [ATTACH]20718...

Definitely going to get one. Debating if I should get 2 before it gets disco'ed seeing it doesn't appear popular.

I'm not sure why the Lum large Chinese has slipped under my radar in the past and there doesn't seem to be much commentary given on it. FFG VG10, G10, a very useable blade length and shape for outdoors use and open construction for ease of cleaning. Okay, no choil, no thumb ramp and no jimping but t...

Luke is great to deal with. I have a set of pool green G10 scales for a Delica on order as well as a set of "vintage" micarta scales for one of those other knives with a butterfly on. The textured G10 scales he did for one of my Griptillians changed it from "cheap plastic" into a...

Lil Matriarch in orange - 10 minute job to get a Lil' Frankenarch, who looks less weapon-like and more tool-like thanks to the orange. It will rotate with my Tasman Salt on days I need teeth. Pics : 1. comparison of the standard Lil M, the donor Delica and a Tasman Salt [ATTACH]20668[/ATTACH] 2. Lil...

You should put your skills for hire. I, for one, wouldn't mind to order a reasonably priced custom Junior, Dragonfly2, etc... These were the better photos that hid all the flaws :) Compared to Cuscadi and the like, these are very, very amateur. I'm assuming Dragonflys, if the workings are the same ...

Forum name : Psquared Knives : Endura, Delica and Ladybug The Delica and Endura have great sentimental value to me. My 1st generation models were the first Spydercos and first single hand openers that I owned and started the interest in single hand opening, locking folders. A Ladybug is always with ...
