Spyderco Forums

It's kind of funny in a way because if you find out what knife that most people use for their EDC it will probably surprise you. What most of us Knife Aficionados would regard as ideal wouldn't even be considered among most pocket knife carrying guys/gals. I would bet that most EDCs carried here in ...

I recently got a FB01 and can't help but wonder how much the Temperance would've sold if it had some of that Kraton inlayed in the FRN handle like the Morans.....the combo of materials in the handle would probably change the minds of many who discount the big Temperance b/c of the handle's traction...

OK Mastiff that's fair>> we all don't like the same things obviously. But I had much better luck with GIN-1 steel than I did with some others. I liked it much better than I did AUS-8 and I liked about equal to ATS-34. Now it's no longer my steel of choice although I did carry a Renegade model for ab...

I threw a dart and it landed on # 172.

Well Buddha I wish you a hearty welcome to the best knife Forum on the web. If you want to learn about the best production knives on the planet then you've come to the right place :cool: ~~ Welcome aboard :)

I guess my definition or my overall take on what makes a blade "NON CONVENTIONAL" might be a bit misunderstood. I was making a point that most of these aforementioned Spyders have a niche all their own and for the most part are not duplicated anywhere in the knife kingdom. The one brother ...

Now look Thombrogan I agree with you about the over-hype of S-30V. Although I do think it is a good blade steel overall but I agree that all the magazine hype of 2001-2002 was truly a bit overdone. In some respects I even like the predecessor 440V ( S-60V) even better. And keep in mind that I qualif...

you don't like AUS-6? :confused: . man, ok, edge retention isn't high-tech awesome, but it sharpens like a breeze to a razor-edge within 2 minutes :) i'd like to unclude another factor to the steel-madness: somewhere in time the steel-improvements need to either end or the sharpening equipment has ...

OH boy oh boy!!! you and me get to have a bloody BID WAR!!! :rolleyes: :D Let's get ready to rumble!!!!! :eek: :eek:

Nah! just kidding. I don't have much interest at all. But if a VG-10 Zowada shows up then there will be no holds barred :rolleyes:

the reason i want to do this with a native is because of the handle - shape and material, i'm not a fan of SS handles, btw, what do you think my objective is? you made it sound kinda sinister :o my only intent is to create a blade design that i like and don't have legal problems to carry in a handl...

the reason i want to do this with a native is because of the handle - shape and material, i'm not a fan of SS handles, i much prefer frn for the feel and the weight. from what i have heard s30v is a tough nut to crack when it comes to grinding and i don't have any special tools so basically i'm ask...

Well this year I haven't gotten any bad gifts but 2 years ago some very dear friends of mine ( husband & wife) got me a cheap, Chinese made, Cub scout knife :confused: . I know it's the thought that counts but this was truly a head scratcher. Them knowing that I was a serious knife collector and...

Can anyone give me a source for a szabofly? thx Been a while since we seen you dude :rolleyes: I would say that Ebay or Bladeforums would probably be your best bet. I am not a Butterfly fan per se and I traded my last Spyderfly about 6 months ago. However if I was to get another Butterfly knife it ...

I got a feeling that I know what your objective is "I. V." However rather than go through all that why don't you just run down one of the older Mariner models with GIN-1 blade steel. I still consider that model one of my personal functional favorites. That blade steel is not bad at all. To...

what?! :eek: :mad: of all things you got a computer for xmas?! :confused: wowserz! all these forumites here getting knives, and now someone got a freakin' computer......am i really that poor or is my family just boring? :) :confused: i'll be heading to my mom's house in about an hour or so, to acce...

Great thread Clovisc :cool: I can see why you feel the way you do. And I agree with you to a large degree. But there are really only 2 blade steels that Spyderco ever used that I honestly just completely despise. They are AUS-6 and 440A. Two of my earlier Spyderco EDCs were made of those blade steel...

RAVEN- I am so glad that you got to spend Christmas with your soul-mate even though it was over a phone. But you know something?>> that may end up being one of your most memorable Christmas holidays. Plus when things get back to normal you look back on this and end up appreciating holidays better th...

Merrry Christmas to you Raven, and to everyone else on the forum! May Christ's peace rest with all of you! :) Thank you Axlis :) and the same to you Sir. And Clovisc I thank you for your kind words. And Brother Raven>> we're pulling for you. We wish you and yours the very best. You are among friends.

Just when you all thought that I had ran out of CLOSER LOOK topics :D Not a chance :rolleyes: Well I was looking over some of my Non-Conventional Spyderco blades and Special Purpose blades. Three of them that immediately come to mind are the C-59 Shabaria model, The C-60 Massad Ayoob and the recent ...

I just want all my Spyder Brothers and serrated Sisters :D to know that I just really appreciate you all. I have been having one of the best days I've had in a long time. I wish each and every one of you all the best Christmas ever. This last year has been a good one for me for the most part. I have...
