Spyderco Forums

I gave my 14 year old grandson both the Spyderco and the CRKT. He assembled both easily. He was here for a one week visit so nothing broke. The Spyderco was a much more precise wooden knife but unfortunately he seemed to prefer the CRKT. Probably because it was a bit larger and he is a bit older tha...

Jack, I did a search for your "D'Arbonne" and found nothing. What is that thing? If it has been discussed here, can you post a link?

I see. I should have thought about it a little more and I would have realized they were doing us all a favor. Thanks.

I have to wonder why they would release the Forum knife and the new Mule Team 17 at the same time. Also, would they do it that way again after the early problems this time? I ordered my mules about 3 1/2 hours after 9:00 Mountain time and had no problem. But it looks like it still has not shipped. I...

Thank you for posting the news. It is indeed a sad day. My wife and I have read everything he wrote. I agree with the sequence suggested above by Ken kbuzbee.

Brass pins solve your problem if you don't have a problem with color.

It's sort of like asking if the microwave will replace the barbecue grill. After the laser becomes workable, we will still be cooking outside and sharpening our steel knives. Knives and cooking go back for too many years. It's what most men like to do.

No worries created here....I will not compete. I have a Native, but it is not my favorite . But, I really would like to work with S110V. If they have enough, it would be an interesting addition to the Mule Team. Just my $00.02.

If you enjoy information about steel and have an iPhone, I found this in the Off-Topic Forum and really like it:

That is a great find! Thanks Gunslinger

For surgery, not landscaping. That's a good description. I used to carry a Des Horn in my shirt pocket while my Caly 3.5 was in my pants pocket. If I needed an Exacto knife for something, the Des Horn was what I would use. It is a lot more than an Exacto though. It is a smooth feeling gentleman's k...

When in danger, when in doubt
Run in circles, scream and shout!

You need two, one for beside your favorite chair and one for the bathroom.

That bathroom one gets me every time. I find that room a very expensive place to sit.

I enjoy using my Air very much. I did find the edge of the fiberglass laminate scales to be slightly less than comfortable. I used Micro mesh to chamfer these edges on mine just enough to remove the sharp feel but not enough to be visually noticeable.

I had a friend who, on arrival at the airport, remembered he had not emptied his pocket before leaving home. Seeing a potted plant in the main concourse, he buried his trusty Spyderco (don't know which one) in the dirt. When returning to the same airport, he dug it up, brushed it off, and went home ...

My most recent purchase of the sprint run original Calypso with an earth-brown G-10 handle and a VG-10 blade. It is one big pig sticker and I love It!

Would love to see a picture of all the mules! Based on all the other custom scales in your picture i can only imagine how nice your mules are Holland, Thanks for the nice compliment. My picture taking skills amount to taking dozens of pictures and finding one that looks okay. Some guys here are rea...

It really is a mental health problem and not a gun problem. The best analogy I have read so far says if you want to stop the highway death problem make automobile purchases more difficult and restrictive for all. After all, there are many more deaths, including children, due to automobiles. Sadly, t...

The only open one is in the upper left and is my Caly 3.5 EDC. Not shown are 23 completed Mule Teams that hang on the wall.

I also use Barkeeper's friend, but I use an old tooth brush.
