Spyderco Forums

You guys are killing me! I can't get in by a phone or desktop.

I eventually wore out my Diamond rods and replaced them with CBN rods. No regrets. I've also been freehanding my SE blades on the CBN Webfoot and it's now my preferred way to sharpen SEs. I leave some coarse, and some get refined on the Golden Stone. Wish there was an 'in-between' to complete the tr...

Hopefully here, there, and everywhere before too long...

I was one of the folks clamoring for the Webfoot and I picked one up as soon as they hit the stores. I was immediately struck by how many different useful surfaces this sharpener has. I had been freehanding with the Goldenstone for so long that the Webfoot felt familiar right off the bat. I thought ...

As above, I get .383" for the S2XL HW. My S2XL LW SE comes in at .430".

I have the FRN in both SE and PE and I'm very impressed with them. But I picked up the Cruwear G10 during the recent sale and it is on a whole 'nuther level. Just a superb knife altogether.

My 'druthers are pretty minimal. I'd like to see the lanyard hole dropped on those models where it clearly compromises the placement of the pocket clip. I also have a general desire for thinner blade stock. These minor qualms have not prevented me from filling multiple SpyderPacs with these outstand...

Even grind and no noticeable lock rock on any of my last 3 LC200 Salts, except for the Salt 2 Wharnie SE that I last ordered. I had to turn that one in and replaced it with a yellow H2 Tasman SE, which was/is perfect. The Wharnie had frame fitment issues that left a noticeable gap around the pivot, ...

Got mine during the recent sale and it's close to perfect, with a nice even grind and no evidence of the edge contacting the lanyard tube. Pleasantly surprised by how thin it is.

Endura 4 SE Wharncliffe. Got a set of Denim Micarta scales coming from Ukraine for it, along with a Flytanium titanium backspacer. Should be a sweet combo. I've really been enjoying good ol' VG-10 in SE.

The Byrd 8CR13 ain't half bad, especially in SE, and the Byrd serrated edge pattern is very effective. Byrds may be a little rough around the edges (barring the newer Harrier 2s), but all of mine have solid lockups and no noticeable blade play. Solid values, every one.

Now basking in the afterglow of an unexpected Spyderco sale. Strangely compelled to have a smoke, even though I quit over 30 years ago.

The Cat is a pretty cool kitty. I still have my old 440C and I picked up a BD1N backup when they came out. I like and use them both. Sweet little liner lock that punches above its' weight.

Here Here on the call for more translucent FRCP! I don't understand Spyderco's reluctance to scratch that itch. Purple, orange, green, you name it. I'd have to buy at least one of each.

It's on my 'buy' list. Would be my first SPY27. Going PE on this one.

Mebbe a tougher steel and less distal taper?

Cruwear Stretch2 XL KnivesPlus $203.25... https://www.knivesplus.com/spyderco-stretch-2-xl-g10-cru-wear-c258gpgycw.html https://www.knivesplus.com/media/SP-C258GPGYCW-OPEN.jpg Very sweet deal indeed!. I paid ten bucks more earlier today and didn't think I'd see a better deal than that. Still, I'm p...

Lotta Byrds going for <$25, including the Harrier 2 SE Wharnie. Heckuva deal for a stout work knife.

Yup, I couldn't resist the KSF deal for a Stretch 2 XL G-10 in Cru-Wear. Sweet Monday morning surprise.

Just a little more anecdotal H2 experience to add here. I've had my Tasman Salt Yellow SE in H2 for a couple of weeks now. It's been chewing successfully on heavy cardboard, poly rope and small green limbs so far and I can't really tell any difference between it and H1. Like Gregg Allman said, "...
