Spyderco Forums

We didn't get any snow this year, so here's a few shots from years past. The backlock works great with gloves btw. https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2023/02/spyderco_manix_snow_spydercollector.jpg https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2023/02/spyderco_stretch_snow_spydercollector_2.j...

I'm glad to see it back up, I liked their Spyderco Sub Forum there too.

I must have been 11 or 12, when my friends showed me this army surplus store where I bought my first EDC, a cheap brass handled Balisong. While my friends moved on to other hobbies, I kept coming back to this army-surplus store to 'graduate' into buying better knives.

Welcome to the addiction, that's one great way to start a Spyderco collection!

Man, I'd love to see a sprint or other type of re-release of the Executive!!

We are fully booked, including our reserves list, so I'm closing the registration. Thank you for all the enthusiasm!

Just a quick update, I've received more than 60 sign-ups and started the reserves-list, there are a few spots left on the reserves list as I'm typing this.

WE ARE FULLY BOOKED INCLUDING RESERVES - REGISTRATION IS CLOSED [/glow] The loss of Jurphaas is still felt by many. He was also instrumental in establishing and organizing the Spyderco Amsterdam Meet for 15 years. Spyderco would like to commemorate Jur and invite all Spyderco and other knife enthus...

I should really carry this little gem more, it's a great design. https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2022/12/spyderco_c141_balance_spydercollector_1.jpg https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2022/12/spyderco_c141_balance_spydercollector_clipside.jpg https://spydercollector.files.wordpr...

I'm not sure if it counts as a 'Spyderco' per se, but this is what I carried and used to dispatch some packaging.

Sal shared the full quote on these forums: I've said this before. "The edge is a ghost". It's been around for 40,000 years and still we study it. It's technically a wedge, the "W" must be silent. Bringing two bevels together is the beginning. Then we study materials that can supp...

A little video overview of the superb 40th anniversary Native:

I hope I never have to, but I'd probably rebuild my collection by get one of the following in whatever stainless steel option would be available:
- Stretch
- Ladybug/Manbug
- Delica
- Native
- Dragonfly
- Lil' Temp

Cool find, congratulations! In my experience, once you found your grail, another will soon become your next grail.

Thanks for the report, looks like it was a great event!

Question: Is there a correlation between "obscure/cool past models" and "past models that didn't sell very well"? I think that you're right on that one. Also, most people buy 'by the eye' instead of holding a 'strange looking' knife in the hand, to see what the design is really ...

I think the C71 Salsa is pretty obscure to many newer spyderfans. It was Spyderco's first foray into Taiwan production back in the day. I think they're very cool though, kind of like smaller friendlier lil' temps. https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/spyderco_salsa_titanium.jpg https:...

That looks fun, hang in there guys!

The folding Khukuri by Ed Schempp appears to be becoming 'obscure'. It's definitely cool and practical.

Awesome pick but no surprise here. My fav Para3. How do you like yours ? I like it a lot, VG10 is one of my favorite steels and the SPY27 behaves much like it so far. Also the lightweight Para 3 design is so easy to carry. If you're into knives with a bit of 'heft' to it, then you might find it too...
