Spyderco Forums

I am in.
(A few months ago I also enquired if a carbon fiber or Ti Spydercard was not possible).

Congratulations !
Being Spyderco should they be called twins or rather "Dyad" <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> ?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, The blade is indeed 440C, made in Solingen. Great, as a European and Spydie-lover, to have one of the very few European Spydies <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> What's more, I bought it from Tool-shop in Germany ! A real "European connectio...

Thanks Clay for the idea of a Forum Knife (23 August 2000) Thanks Sal (and Spydiepeople) for making it happen Thanks to the fellow forumites who encouraged the above mentioned twosome : Samo, Ishay, dsvirsky, Fozzy, NCBlades, Ferret, Brian Lavin, Brian_Turner, James Mattis, RickT, stellite, jrollins...

Got : Stainless delica serrated 2 plain G10 Navigators <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> plain Shabaria (nr 691) Merlin Almite cricket plain Dyad jr plain spydercard plain Peter Herbst (received today ; nr 373) On its way : Forum Military Want : Meerkat (plain) Standard

I just received my NIB C53P Peter Herbst folder (number 373). I noticed 2 things (besides the great design and the sharpness) : 1. the liner lock engages halfway up the tang. No problem there, it just seems a bit far for a new knife. Are these prone to "creep up" to the opposite side quick...

Mine will be delivered to a friend in NY who will bring it over when she visits (I hope she does not use it to slice tomatoes and open cans) and I have to wait another 2 to 3 months to get my hands on it <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Philip (Belgium) (Nr 14 Patti told...

You can have a look at http://www.tool-shop.com/
Very good service + free shipping in Europe (European prices though)

Hi Yorik & Samo, When I visited NY a few month ago (I am from Belgium) I stumbled on a shop called "Tents and Trails" near the Woolworth building. I just checked and I found the receipt (no adress; bummer) : the phonenumber is 212 227-1760. They had some decent and some good prices. No...

Yep, my spydercard rusts too. Mostly on the unscharpened edge of the blade, but also on the flat surfaces. I used some chrome/metal polish for cars to remove the stains, which worked rather well.

Hi all,

Any info on this knife ?

Experiences ? Who (still ?) sells them ? Price ?

Thanks,

Philip357

Hi Sal, To make sure al the people who replied to Clay's mail are able to buy one (if they want to, because some where more in favor of a vesuvius, colored G10, ...) I compiled a list of all forumites who replied (I hope I did not leave anybody out, if so just add your name). Philip357 (in favor of ...

Sal,

Maybe a stupid question but do I have to preorder ? With Spyderco directly ?

Thanks,
Philip

Before I forget to mention it : write me up for number 357 :D

Woohoo
Thanks Clay for suggesting
Thanks Sal for approving

Now I hope ALL forumites who replied here get the opportunity to buy one (I would not like the situation where a "poor" Belgian guy (aka me) is left forumknife-less)

Hi Sal (and the other Spyderpeople),

Since about everybody who replied wants a forum knife, and some even want more than one, I think the projected 200 should be a realistic amount to sell.
I hope you are convinced to.

Philip

Btw : I just bought an almite spyderedge cricket : cute & nasty !

In fact, Clay, I think you deserve #001.
Or if the first xxx are reserved you should maybe get #000 (super-rare i guess ?).
btw did Spyderco ever number a knife with "zero" ?

Philip

Question Sal, If only 200 are made, I hope the 200 first people (not yet 200 replies, so everybody can be happy) who replied to this topic (thanks Clay for the suggestion to Sal) get first "choice" for one knife and after that everybody on the forum can order more (on a first-come-first-se...
