Spyderco Forums

I've had two Southards and sold them both without really using them. I think it is a great design and the flipper is fine and I like 204P...but no lasting excitement... However, I really enjoy the GB's and they seem to have a "sparkling" edge, and a "presence" like I seldom see o...

I don't seem to have much interest in forum knives, unless it's a Para2. Then...watch out.
I love 'em like nothing else. I think it's the compression lock...maybe...or the slim lines...or the wonderful choice of blade-steels. Thanks, Sal and gang...

That was great knife-handling on that video.

I have used mine very little, although it's a fine knife with good fit and finish. Very nice flipper; works very easily, securely. For the money, I think it's a great knife with good blade-steel. Spyderco should be proud.

There will be a notch cut out on the back of the blade near the pivot. Yes. My 'second' has a very small notch cut only on one side of the blade, right over the hole. Very small, as though they touched the blade to a wheel and nicked it slightly. But that's enough to tell. It's so slight, this is t...

I read that a fellow did manage to kill a cougar that had attacked his son. It was a fairly small blade length, maybe 3" Spyderco. The rangers found the cat later; it had died of blood loss. But the cat's attention was centered on his son, and he stabbed it in the side of the chest. Still, it w...

Some very nice Spydies... glad you're back.

They call it the Tuff and it's in 3V bladesteel

Or, at the other end of the spectrum,....the blue Yojimbo that I'm so unlucky to have NIB.
OMG, what was I thinking?

I figured the gold color was titanium nitride. Some of my handgun cartridge dies are made out of that. Lasts forever plus a decade.

Thank you. Appreciate your labor.

Slowly, try to work your hand down to your Yojimbo or Military.

Thank you so much. I FINALLY know what my YOJIMBO blue NIB is good for. Whew!

Yessir. And side-play is NOT a necessary or expected part of titanium frame-locks.

Yeah, it's like this NIB blue Yojimbo that I just picked up...for $265, from a collector. I wonder what the heck it's good for, and WHY did I do that? I have no idea what I would use it for; I keep hoping someone will offer me something for it. I really feel stupid. No wonder it was discontinued. I ...

I had three NIB of the S90v PM2's at one point. Then I got broke. Sold them all in seconds.

That's not a bad idea either.

Good point

It's due around December and it is expensive. I've bought mine on the secondary market and so have paid a bit more than what they will go for in the new release. But I'm happy. That bright blue is really nice.

I own six PM2's in various blade-steels. I really like 'em.

I don't really "like" the sharp/pointy Yojimbo2 profile, but then, self-defense knives are not my thing. That thing scares the heck out of me. I'm sure it's a great design for its intended purpose. However, I prefer the Para 2 for casual EDC/slicing and own a few of them in various blade-s...
