Spyderco Forums

Joe, Absolutely. I open this thing like an auto, fast and hard, and it stays no problem. I've never been worried about that and haven't had need to thus far. Rob I'm curious now. If one were to "flick" it open, would the "lock" be enough to stop the blade from ricocheting back an...

Got mine a few weeks ago from New Graham and have been carrying it since. I was a little hesitant about the non-locking blade, but for what I'm doing (mainly cutting boxes open and some light cutting), it works great. And this thing opens FAST. The overall package is fantastic. Nicely beveled carbon...

Great idea!

I choose 212. Here's hoping...

I had mine up on ebay (gotta let it go for Christmas shopping cash) and it was cancelled by them twice! I guess it violates the switchblade policy (for ebay that includes gravity-style deployment). Apparently, sometimes you can slide them through and sometimes the ebay police shuts them down. I've s...

Hey all, While walking out the door this morning, I caught my Calypso Jr. III's clip on the door molding. End result is that the clip is now about 1/4" away from the knife instead of lying flat against it. Any recommendations on a good way to re-bend the clip back to flat? I can probably get th...

This whole thread is somewhat upsetting. I'm in my 30s, and went to public school in the 70s and 80s. I was in elementary school when it was acceptable for teachers to use corporal punishment, and looking back, I'm not so sure this was the wrong thing to do. If there was a consequence, you tended to...

Hey all, I wasn't aware of them on the Jensen site and lost one on eBay a few months back for $120. Luckily, I found they had them for less at JFJ and picked up the 2nd to last one about 2 months ago. A great pocket knife, but I did have some concerns about sharpening the blade (if it ever needed it...

Hi all, I've decided to start expanding my collection of Meerkats and want to make sure I know what is out there. I know there was an SE, PE and a Reverse S PE version produced, all made in Seki. I am also peripherally aware of a Golden-made version, but don't know which blade shape or steel. If any...

Anybody else dealt with this guy? His feedback seems ok, with the exception of some problem Civilians...

I was curious as he does has some good stuff available.

All info appreciated, and I apologize if I'm somewhat hi-jacking the thread...

I'll try 1971. Thanks for the contest!

Rob

Does anyone know if New Graham is going to get any more in?

There is a picture floating around on these very forums of a red-handled Lum Chinese folder. The word around the campfire is that a few of these were produced, although I've never seen one. If you do a forum search, I'm sure you will come across the photo.

Good luck!

And I thought that $500 at Country Knives was outta sight. You know, I bought a CF Walker USER on the bay about 5 months ago. Sure, it's a little beat up and our friends at warranty/repair did not have any replacement parts for it, but the price was right. What was that price? 75 smacks. Now THAT wa...

My first is the original black-bladed Delica (SE) with the FRN clip. Got it back in 1997 or so. Followed it up with a G-10 Harpy, then a Pro-Venator (CE), then a SS Dragonfly (SE), and then the blue almite Navigator (SE). In late 1997, I found my perfect Spyderco, the Calypso Jr with micarta scales ...

Dr. Hannibal Lecter...saying the word "STOKED?" Say it ain't so! What's next, Booyah?

Scott, et al,

Should have done a forum search before asking. Thanks for the tip. Nickels are a great idea. I hate to even admit this, but you should have seen me trying to use two screwdrivers. That was amusing...

Hey all, Got a pretty easy question (I hope), but I have not been able to figure this out yet. I just got a Native III and I wanted to switch the clip to the other side. All I have managed to do is mangle the retaining screw. Can anyone shed a little light on this? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for ...

Lads (and ladies), I hate to say this, but is it possible for any announcement to actually live up to 19 pages of hype? Maybe, if, and only if it's one of these: 1 - 5 golden tickets (say it with me) a la Mr. Willy Wonka (Charlie, you've done it!) 2 - A giveaway for the complete clip-it collection C...

Hopefully, 384 has not been taken. I am having trouble searching the thread.

Thanks,

I did some digging a month or so ago through the forums and came up with some helpful information. Most of what I found was summarized in this thread:
