Spyderco Forums

Yep, between MAP enforcement and the general production slow down I've bought very few Spydies this year. This thread reminds me that there was once a real thrill in a good deal on a knife I'd had on my wish list. I hope they will consider doing this more often. This is almost nostalgic. :grin-squin...

How's the temp this year? Looks chilly. Wish I was there again, but airfare was high this year.

The folding Khukuri by Ed Schempp appears to be becoming 'obscure'. It's definitely cool and practical. https://youtu.be/nvgDWcmFwTs https://spydercollector.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/schemppkhukri_spyderco.jpg It was a knife so odd you had to hold it to understand. I love mine, but do not carry i...

I'm not able to make it out this year, have fun for me!

Pac salt SE.

I bend the clip slightly on almost every knife I carry. sal How would you recommend tuning the clip - remove the clip from the knife and put the tab with the holes in a bench vise? Is there a better way? Thanks! With the clip on, I often slide some cardboard under and lift gently, checking frequent...

Well, I was hoping to see if there was anyone with first hand knowledge. I figure a SAK should be okay, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I'll be travelling through Ireland and it looks like knives are strictly regulated. Anyone have experience there? Would a SAK be okay? A small clipitool?

Since the D'Allara got some hate for being hard to unlock, a wet environment version seems like it wouldn't work in the current design. I'd be interested to see a backlock version, though I'm not sure it's likely. For this reason, mine is never carried. Sad, because otherwise this would be a great ...

A 4 way emory board will work as well and they are under $2. I have polished several sets and it always helps smooth things out a bit with pivot action.

I don't think you want to pry with the tab that opens the knife. You risk bending it.

Hi jOsephchan, Welcome to our forum. Maybe some time in the future? But right now we have no plans to redesign and retool up for another flatbyrd. sal That's a bummer. I had and used a Flatbyrd in CE while in college. I cut a lot of cardboard stocking retail shelves. I never considered putting it i...

It will be interesting to see what "standard" HT ends up as for Magnacut. Most early production seems 61-62. Will that end up being seen as a couple points too low? I know Larrin has worked with Protech to dial things in, but not sure where they ended up. Hogue told me 61-62 is where they ...

Very cool.

I guess I'm in the camp where if you want to inspect every cranny of a knife and expect perfection you should be buying customs. That "bad" spot would probably go unnoticed by 95% of the knife buying public and most people who do notice, probably don't care. I also don't think the whole, i...

I'm waiting for some more new models to pique my interest. I'm about exclusived out on the models I like enough to buy multiples of. The result is I've been buying other brands in the meantime. Can't wait to see some truly new stuff in the lineup here.

I continue to be amazed at the tiny nitpicks people find on production knives. That's "bad quality"?

I think perhaps you could put your thumb in it and use it rather than staring at it, but that's just me. The LT3 isn't really an art piece. If you want a knife that meets your standards you should consider buying in person or accept occasional dissatisfaction. I am sure I've never inspected most of ...

If the blade says "Spiederco" than yes.

The SS handle is a deal breaker for me, hoping for an FRN or G-10 version to come along.
