Spyderco Forums

Interesting info, thanks. Hard to imagine since the Para 2 seems to be the slowest production model ever produced to hit the market and is still backordered at some of the more popular dealers. With all the money I spend I would think they could afford to hire some help

Well, guess that's what I get for parking in a tow away zone in Chicago.

Nice video Tony! Glad to see the glass falls out verse in.

I got a couple that were damaged but not without the help of cows. One happened loading cattle in a truck and I was in one of the shoots cutting ropes off and I got crowded up against the side and my lil temp fell to the wood planks and before I could even reach for it a 2000 lb steer stepped right ...

The Cricket makes a cool money clip as well, I always carry one.

Cutlery Shoppe doesn't seem to get very big shipments from Spyderco like most dealers do so they probably won't last long there if they are in stock.

congrats gunnut, nice pictures as well. Looks like you like your peppers hot ;) Strange how the Para 2 has been so sporadically produced from the get go months and months ago and is still out of stock or backordered at some dealers. I think the Para 2 started off with issues last summer and never go...

Sorry to hear that Mike, will definitely let you know if I see or hear anything. Out of curiosity if you don’t mind sharing, did they steal other items as well? That is a lot of knives to be hauling out, did he have them on display that someone may have known about or were they all stored somewhere.

I would assume that award has to go to the original SazboFly with the VG-10 blade. Production was ceased by legal action after all or a portion of the Collector Club was run. Spyderco diligently complied with a subsequent settlement agreement to retrieve as many of the knives that made it into dist...

That's a bummer MCM, California is making you pay there debt off it looks like. Wish I would of known I would of bought for you and charged you 0% tax. Maybe there is an option to offer a kidney or something instead of 9.75%.

I'm sure with your experience you know exactly what will happen the day you decide not to carry a knife

No, just black. But there is still hope

Now thats Funny! :D

:D That is a good one! I think I may have said that once also, but then, well you know....

Matt gets my vote as well, His work is outstanding and service is impeccable.

Really? Thats news to me. The literature I've seen suggests otherwise. Just as one example: http://www.archivesmse.org/vol28_5/2856.pdf If someone has something more conclusive please by all means offer it up, but my understanding always was that DLC existed to increase the corrosion resistance and...

my black para2 didn't come with that lighter color coating. That said I buy knives to use them, not to keep in a safe or complain about them being pretty, so I want the DLC to protect the blade from corrosion mostly. While it is lighter, its not exactly super bright now is it? As long as the hardne...

Maybe it's just the light reflecting off those bright shiny screws.

The SS cricket makes a fantastic money clip as well, been carrying one for years.

Thanks for the reply, So how did you guys get them in your hands so quick, I just saw them listed yesterday. Very disappointing that a Camo, Black blade, para-Military knife doesn't have black hardware though.

Does the Para have all black hardware?

I take it you don't like Starbucks
