Re: Is this authentic? co41

The lack of a Spydie hole should've been a dead giveaway... they always put it on their knives, even fixed blades. They have NEVER used a thumbstud. That's sacrilege right there. They've used thumbstuds on more than one occasion. ;) The Vallotton and Lil Subhilt both use what could be considered th...

Re: NFL 2022-2023 Season

Oh wow! That’s the first I’m hearing of Ken Block passing as well! Was just reading a post online from him yesterday morning about an Audi he helped his daughter rebuild. That’s a shame, I was a big fan of his. Rest In Peace. Damar Hamlin is still being reported as in critical condition. Still prayi...

Re: Compression Lock

I've been hoping and praying for a compression lock Native 5 for years. That's actually my grail knife. Please make this happen soon! Compression Lock Sage is a close cousin, but with the Lil Native getting that version I'm surprised the 5 hasn't got it yet. I was directly comparing the Sage and a ...

Re: Compression Lock

Case and others have made knives with liner locks and slip joint springs for as long as I can remember. It works perfectly. These knives are not flickable (which is the reason so many buy liner locks and etc.) but are very safe. I'd like to see that creation done. Well, that’s good to know! LOL jus...

Re: NFL 2022-2023 Season

Really scary situation in the Bills vs Bengals game tonight! Bills safety Damar Hamlin went down after making a tackle and required CPR on the field. Praying the worst doesn’t happen and he is able to eventually recover from this. Apparently, the NFL went straight into damage control mode and gave t...

Re: Just for fun, who here is NOT on social media?

Option one best describes my thoughts on modern social media, except for the fact that I still use Instagram. Not as much as I once did but I still get caught up scrolling through the endless nonsense on occasion. I also use YouTube regularly and while that can totally fit into the description of mo...

Re: Attempting to Make Scales

I need to invest in a budget drill press, because I'd be making scales left and right if I could accurately drill holes the proper way with the countersinks. One thing I see a lot of people doing that I wouldn't do is shaping the scale before drilling the holes, to me that seems like a recipe for d...

Re: Compression Lock

The Compression Lock is elegantly simple. Originally, it needed no other springs or parts, unlike all other popular locks. I love the concept and use of this lock. My only concern with it is the detent. If Spyderco could come up with some way of putting pressure on the blade so it wants to stay clo...

Re: 2023 Spyderco Plans Or Projects

I have too many of my own knife designs, that I’m confident in, to keep procrastinating actually making them. I need to seriously plan to get some prototypes in front of some eyes at Spyderco. It would be an actual dream come true to work with Spyderco as a design collaborator.

Re: Military 2. What exactly is going on?

Looking at the compression lock, I feel like it would be possible to just move the lock bar to the front side of the knife so that it would basically just be a stronger liner lock. If that change was made, the compression lock would probably just be a better liner lock. I doubt it would ever happen...
