Spyderco Forums

My daughter is four and a half. Very recently I let her hold one of my knives, and started teaching her the parts of a knife, and showed her how to cut some paper. Most importantly, I showed her what and where the edge is. But needless to say, I'd never let her handle a knife by herself. For now, it...

I'm' fortunate here in Colorado. As a LEO, who's academy is actually located in Golden, pretty much everyone in my agency knows about Spyderco, and knows what they bring to the table, , , ,but I suspect we are unique in this regard. I guess knives are like anything else, you are into them, or your n...

When I think of 'large folders' I think of my original Manix that I purchased several years ago. I've carried it ever since while in uniform as a law enforcement officer. No, I've never used it to cut seatbelts or while in a physical confrontation, but I think these cutting tasks speak to what one m...

I probably wouldn't waste my money on the no-name diamond engravers since even the ones sold as genuine Dremel aren't the greatest. On the other hand, I've tried a couple of 'off-brand' (read, cheap) sanding drums, and had fairly reasonable results. Keep in mind that if the Dremel brand is your benc...

An absolute must have. I was excited about the blue Manix listed in the 2011 catalog, but this takes the cake.

I agree with ChrisR, a Spyderco Sharpmaker is probably some of the best money you will ever spend. Easy to use is an understatement. Use the **** out of your Delica during the day, and in less than a minute on the Sharpmaker that evening and your blade is hair slicing sharp again.

If this is your first Spyderco, congratulations, and I'd bet you'll be looking for your second by the end of the year. They are very addictive. Especially to those of us with poor impulse control. As a former psychotherapist, if I was working for Spyderco's marketing department, my tag-line would be...

Greenfly: Great question, an aftermarket low-riding clip would be great for making EDC a little more discreet. Evil D: Nice job, , ,what kind of steel did you use? And, did you treat it to make it a spring, or leave in annealed? It looks very functional. I just got a Para2 at the SFO on Saturday, an...

I saw this knife for the first time a few weeks ago at the SFO. Trust me when I say: The 1st time you hold it, you know you are holding a robust working man's tool. It's heavy, but I mean that in the most complimentary way. Its elegantly simply design is one that you have absolutely no doubt will se...

I'm showing $36.95 MSRP on the polos.

Your post is interesting in theory, but a file will likely just slide right off the blade, seeing as it's hardened. A grinder, even if you had a good 72x2 belt grinder would be very, very difficult to grind the blade that close to the tip without loosing the temper all together in that portion of th...

I agree, If you have a Spyderco Sharpmaker, the maintenance of a SE is a mute point, so it comes down to what you want to use your knife for. To each his own I say. However, here are a few points that have just occurred to me: A surgeons' scalpel isn't SE. The razor you use in the morning isn't SE. ...

Yeah, I was at the SFO this week and they were on display. Check out the t-shirts too. They look really slick.

If you're ever in the Denver/Golden area, it is well worth your time to stop by the SFO. The people who work there represent the very best Spyderco has to offer, and I think spending some time there, talking to the staff and looking how well organized the place is, really gives one a sense of those ...

The GB is sweeeet! Nice heft to it, opens and closes smooth as butter, and I'm 100 percent stoked with the fit and finish. Plus the M4 blade steel was/is intriguing. So on Saturday morning I went with the GB over the Pershing. However, I can't seem to get the graceful lines of the Persian out of my ...

I went to the SFO Saturday intent on purchasing a Persian, , , but left with a Gayle Bradley instead. Having been a few days since my purchase, I think I will return to get the Persian as well , , , , , once my discretionary funds are replenished.

Forgive me for being naive, but I don't see what practical application this design would have that a more conventional Spyde or even an auto would have. Anyone have any insight as to its POU, aside from the cool factor?

Was at the SFO today to pick up an order. While looking at some new prospects for my collection, I went to put a Persian into my pocket to see how it fit, and discovered I had left the house without a knife in my pocket. My heart skipped a beat or two as I realized this was the first time I can reme...
