I used 600-grit paper by hand to erase scratched. Ended up with a nice satin finish. But my current project is to put paduak hardwood scales on an SS Delica. So far looks ok. A lot grippier than usual SS... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Perhaps I should add that a Civilian has a considerable "oh $hit!" factor. If I was an attacker, a sight of a Civvie would be more than enough to dissuade me.

Yikes! :o This is very odd. I sent an Aluminum Civilian with a messed up blade for repairs recently, and they restored the entire blade, and made the tip terrifyingly sharp without grinding away any metal that I noticed. Odd indeed. But I have seen the local House of Knives do some re-sharpening on ...

People, just do what I do when I send anything, anywhere for anything: attach a DETAILED letter about what you would like done, and a request that you be contacted if anything else was to be undertaken. Works every time, with just about every company. Spyderco specifically asks that you include a le...

My S30V Native PE has been my EDC for the past two weeks (since I got it), and it is still scary sharp, even after all the cutting. You will NOT be disappointed. A Native was my 1st Spydie too, but this new S30V makes them just perfect! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle ...

Yep. Saw it too this morning. The question now is money! lol <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I've gone and ordered yet another Spydie already... Hopefully I'll still be able to try and bid on this thing before it's gone. Thanks for Remembering Me! <img src=&q...

It's a plain edge FRN Native. The finish is similar to that of my Military in CPM440V. Cuts like crazy, but I only had it for a day, and it had a chance to slice up only 4 cardboard boxes. Still shaving sharp... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I am telling ya...

Well, after years of use, my old GIN-1 Native started to display some blade play. So, I sent it in for a tune up, along with an old battered G2 Tuffram Civilian I got second-hand. Got them back today, with the following results: Native was replaced by a new one. Not GIN-1, not CPM440V, but the newes...

Hey! Thanks! I will try that. I have bought something from him on EBay in the past I believe, but never looked at his online store.

Yep, I am now giving serious consideration to SpydiePacks, and maybe some of those little crystal stands for individual knives too. The display case would be so much easier... But I guess a 24-pack of little stands and a nice glass-front closet from Home Depot will be enough. Hmmm... I wonder if I c...

Yep, I saw that one too, but it was "will ship to US only" type of thing. I only saw one available to Canada in the past year or so, and if I recall it went for $60+. It may be a long wait until the next one shows up on EBay, that's why I am trying to find one someplace else. I have a doze...

No matter where you are (US or any other place), the warranty on the box clearly states that they will attempt to repair the problem, and replace the knife if necessary. A fair warranty and a fair warning. I sent an old Tufram Civilian and a Native (my 1st Spyderco knife I bought years ago) in for r...

I asked this on Bladeforums too, but this might be a better place for it. My question was: Is it possible to buy a Spyderco display case like the ones they have in stores? Big, from transparent plastic, with multiple cuts that form shelved to place knives on. I saw one on EBay last year, but couldn'...

Canada and it's Beer! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Don't quote me on this one, but I think I read somewhere that the burr on the stones can be eliminated by rubbing two stones together. Mine were silky smooth however, so I never really experienced that burr first hand. As for the edge on the Delica, you may need to reprofile the blade (remove quite ...

Absolutely!
The Sharpmaker changed the way I define "sharp". The video had everything I needed to get my Spydies (3 at that time) to very sharp state.
As for the knife lubricants, I am in the dark as well...
Just my CAD$0.02

Yay Again!

Thanks for the Chance!

Civvies are too scary to be viewed offline as well. At least for the uninitiated... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> lol

YAY! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
