Re: Spyderco Seconds Sale Scores

It would be interesting to see the site traffic data just to get an idea of the scale of it.
I managed to get an Aqua Salt SE, ARK SE,and Lil’ Native slip-it, when I logged in the second time.

Re: Spyderco Online Factory Seconds Sale!

Got up at 3am managed to get to checkout at 7.30am . Had to enter my shipping details three times?
My mystery box was no longer available. Only Wings left in cart. :worried
Too late to retry as I had to get to work.
Ah well there's always next year's online sale.

Re: ukpk vs byrd tern

Hi and welcome, I have two Terns and have found their lock up to be stronger than my UKPK’s. I have a Gin1, BD1 and S30V and the spring strength has improved with each iteration. The HH model is the closest in strength to the Tern. The Tern feels closer to the Pingo or Spy-DK in spring strength. Non...

Re: UKPK drop point vs leaf

Another fan of the drop point UKPK. Such a useful blade shape.
I’ll have to try a leaf at some point (of course). ;)

Re: Little help…

Thanks to you all for your advice. It is very much appreciated. I was able to look in the holes in daylight and could see a small burr in each one. Possibly from the final part of the laser cutting process… I used a small diameter diamond file to ‘gently’ remove them. Checking the barrels fit as I ...

Little help…

Hi, I’m looking for some advice from the Mule experts. I bought a ZDP Mule second then decided to use the factory scales. The barrels in the scale kit will not pass completely through the scales. They only ‘fit’ from the presentation side and stop approx.1-1.5 mm before clearing the opposite side. G...

Re: Value folders

I have no data offcourse but i do think the sales of the delica are not what they were in the past. The Delica back then had no competition of others spydie’s so i do think the delica’s sales went down a bit since the value line became a thing. ( it still has great sale numbers offcourse) The pm2 is...

The Polestar changed my thinking on a lot of things not least linerlock reliability.
Really like the dye job, is that clip Polestar specific or generic spyderco ?
Thanks! The clip is a Lynch Clip. I believe it is generic for a number of value line models.
Thanks, I’ll look into that.

Re: Value folders

I've had some interest in the Astute, but am wondering how it would be for sharpening with the edge so close to the handle (same concern with the Tenacious, etc). I use a Sharpmaker for touch-ups, and a KME system for full sharpening. Can anyone comment? I use the Sharpmaker to maintain my Polestar...
