Replacing the blade is cost effective.
Reshape the broken blade into a Warncliffe profile, and keeping it somewhere safe, along with the allen keys to change it, is even better. Remember the early Spyderco Terzuola? Good profile to consider as a spare.

J Smith,
I wish there more folks like yourself, educating young uns in the art of edges
and safety!
Within reason, the younger, the better.
There is a Delica in the future for your boy, my crystal ball tells me....

Having owned a Civilian ( which I sold, dammit!) and now owning a Matriach, I am disapointed to hear that the Matriach has been discontinued. I prefer the Matriach, what with been lighter and slightly smaller to carry in a horizontal Kydex sheath. The Civilian BITES, so you might want to make up a t...

Dantecubit.........Muppet is the most right, if there such a thing.
I am a member of CPF, and Muppet has hit the nail on the head.
UK is the deal, best value for money, and close enough to answer your question.
Surefire are great, but UK wins on value... like a Spyderco, some would say!

Out Of Gum DO NOT USE LIQUID NITROGEN!!! I am a knife maker, and I can assure you that it only works after the first heat treat, and BEFORE the tempering phase. No other way to do it. I have used it, in protective clothing etc etc, and even tried it after the blade was finished, and it did very litt...

Sterile Millie

I have just seen the post that J Smith posted a while back. Yes, that is the one that went to Canada. The thread to CPF is still valid, so look there.

Any news, Sal?

Sterile Military?

A Question for Sal... I have just sent off a Sterile Military off to Canada. I obtained it in South Africa, where I lived until 5 years ago. Marc Ager, of Ram South Africa, visited the Spyderco factory, and saw 10 of the sterile C36's in a box, plain edge and sharpened, and the only mark on them was...
