Spyderco Forums

Looking for a Ken Onion Edition w/Blade Grinding Attachment. Seems like they’re the same price everywhere.

Wondering if anyone knows about maybe seasonal sitewide sales anywhere that I could take advantage of.

Would very much appreciate some direction.

Uncoated Delica please

For models that I wish that I had a backup for, or for models that I was lucky enough to grab two of, and would like to pay it forward. The Bladeforums folks have a lot of restrictions for people who don’t pay their membership fee. There’s a Facebook group “Spyderco Knives,” that allows buying and ...

http://bentoboxshop.com/ has a lot of sprints, exclusives, and discontinued models to choose from.

I appreciate the suggestion. Figured that they basically only had their own exclusives for sale, rather than sprints as well.

The buy/sell/trade portion of Bladeforums is probably the best place to avoid supporting the flippers. I will use eBay but it helps to look for long discontinued models which requires patience if you are interested in something that just sold out on 2020.

Thanks so much for the tip!

Happy to pay some sort of premium. Not happy to reward/encourage flippers.

Just emptied the mailbox, and opened my DLT CPM 20CV Red Manix 2 backup. I love this knife so hard. My wife accidentally knocked the needlepoint edge off my current one when we were working around the house a couple of months ago. She’s the hardest worker I’ve ever met, and felt like **** about it. ...

https://i.imgur.com/OMODjB8.jpg Thanks for the interesting history lesson on Rye Whiskey in the US, SleeplessInSoCal. I've spent time travelling around 'Norn Iron' and very much enjoyed the stunning landscapes and generous and hospitable people. :) https://youtu.be/ihvgjLJqHQs A Yank visited Irelan...

I’m Scots-Irish, born in Northern Ireland, and a proud American patriot. I’m drinking rye, since it’s Independence Day weekend. •••••• The Scots-Irish immigrants that had arrived in the 1600 and 1700s were having trouble adapting barley for their whisky to the climate in Maryland and Pennsylvania, s...

I saw those Japanese hand saws by Silky on DLTTrading, and ended up suggesting one of those as part of a gift for survival type stuff. They look sweet. In fact I’ll probably pick one up myself. Don’t know which would be best in hiking/survival type scenario (fine, medium, coarse tooth). I would say...

Of the main features for a good axe I don't feel that would be the best sign of a high performance axe nor is it available or affordable in a format that makes a quality axe first. Same with a saw. Geometry and other features are more important than adding steels with more exotic carbides and volum...

Axe head weight, head profile and handle are more important than steel. Match the axe style with the purpose. As for saws, I agree that good japanese brand like Silky is a win. I have some no name brand folding saw in SK-3 steel and it saws good. And like what else do you want from saw? :D I saw th...

Saws and axes (and machetes) are subject to different directional and impact stresses than knives. There's probably no great benefit to their being theoretically made in Cru-Wear or 3V. "Toughness" is on an altogether different level in the axe/saw context relative to knives and if I had ...

Looking for a cool Fathers Day gift for a friend (wife reached out). She suggested an axe, so I wondered if there were hatchets made in awesome steels like CPM CRU-WEAR or CPM 3V (guessing that an axe with that kind of steel would be prohibitively expensive). THEN because I overthink everything, my ...

Thanks for the tip! Does the finish look different (less homogenous) at all after the Flitz treatment? I tried Flitz to remove fingerprints from my Rex 45 PM2, and the finish was noticeably and permanently altered, waaaaaay before the fingerprints started fading. (Fingerprints may not seem like a b...

I had a little bit of that on the tang of mine, Flitz & <60 sec took it right off. Thanks for the tip! Does the finish look different (less homogenous) at all after the Flitz treatment? I tried Flitz to remove fingerprints from my Rex 45 PM2, and the finish was noticeably and permanently altere...

Terrible purchase, knife came with a large unremovable black stain on the blade like another purchaser in this thread, however knifeworks wants me to spend $15 for returning shipping lmao never using that site ever again. They couldn't even give me $20 store credit for the trouble im going through ...
