Spyderco Forums

Last production linered G-10 Natives (S110V 2018-2020) have the 'longer' backspacer.

Maxace is the only company which I hold in a similar high regard with Spyderco. Their manufacturing capability is comparable to Reate, their titanium framelock engineering is far superior to Spyderco's Taichung stuff, they work with a number of exotic steels (including grades Spyderco has never used...

It looks like a warping during HT. Sal has stated in the past that QC must accept a small amount of warping to keep Maxamet in production.

The phrase is 'molon labe', which means 'come and take it' in Greek.

The knife is gas station garbage. Given its size and mass, it's probably not safe to use.

Thanks for the heads up.

The stuff Spyderco uses at the factory is not the best option. Forget the Loctite anaerobic crap, get some Vibra-Tite VC-3 and quit worrying about it.

Get some Vibra-Tite VC-3. It's much better than any grade of Loctite or other anaerobic threadlocker.

I've been waiting about 18 months for the Waterway to come back in stock

I'm I right in saying that none of the Military 1's have Sal's signature mark on the blade?

That appears to be correct. I have two blurple Millies with Jan 2022 date codes, and they do not have Sal's mark.

That site is yet another clone of the KnifeSilo scam site. Stay away.

Smock counterfeits have been around for about a year.

I treat all of my non-stainless blades with EDCi, keep them in their original packaging and store them in Plano 3700 series waterproof boxes with some desiccant packs, eight Spyderco boxes per Plano box.

I'm hoping for standard production S110V, and a sprint in Rex T15 or ASP60...preferably not consumer-direct at full MSRP

Brown G-10 with either M390 or S35VN has historically been a Moteng distributor exclusive.

I've remained Chief complete up to this point, but M390 is not a compelling steel and full MSRP is painful.

T15 and Rex 76 are extremely interesting, but I wish they'd just put them straight into a large folder (like the Chief). I'd pay $250-290 for those without complaint.

Reducing carbon and nitrogen by more than 1/3 will probably do nothing good for edge retention. Increased corrosion resistance over H-1 is basically useless unless you're cutting car batteries. Better get your H-1 while you still can.

Stedemon, the parent company of Maxace, has also used Vanax. My Vanadis 10 kw1 tested 65.5 HRC, and my v1 Mammoth in v4e tested 64.8. I haven't been able to hardness test the ASP60 yet, but I'm a half dozen edges in and it's been really impressive so far. There's some completely valid criticisms ab...

It's not strange at all. When you open the knife fast, the lock bar springs open faster, so it wedges against the lock face with more force. That's not what's happening. No matter how slow or fast you open a comp lock, the lockbar is going to move across the lock face at the same speed. When you fl...
