Spyderco Forums

Does it every time for me, and for every page. If I wait until the 30 seconds have passed before looking at Page 2, I need to wait again before getting to Page 3, etc etc.

Hi, I notice a hiccup with search, where more results are returned than can fit onto a single page. When you click on the link for the next page you get something along the lines of Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in 26 seconds. Is there a workaround for this? It seems...

Any new or updated non-lockers?

I'd probably have tried to catch it, ending up with blood on the floor as well as chip.

Thanks will do that (saw your comment on BB as well). Thanks for taking an interest.

Wow. That pink one, is that convex?

I'm thinking along those lines. Either something like 800 grit Silicon Carbide paper (what we call "wet and dry" over here) wrapped round a dowel, or maybe a tight fitting dowel with metal polish. I think I'll leave it for the moment though, see whether Spyderco respond during next week.

Cheers. I was actually thinking of dropping Spyderco a line, see what they suggest. I'd rather fix it than replace since I've spent time getting the blade to my preferred edge. It's the current model FRN with flat ground BD1 blade from one of the major UK dealers, Heinne Haynes, so can't imagine for...

Hi, My UKPK is only a week or so old, and pretty much unused except for playing around with it. Today I noticed it seems to be much stiffer to open and close, not the original slick operation. Slacking the pivot screw didn't seem to alter it at all, nor even slacking all the screws right off. Neithe...

Both of those "blades" are the exact same thickness at the spine, but obviously one of them is going to slice far better than the other. I think this trend you're seeing is just a trend in higher performance slicing blades. Now, of course those are both zero grinds, but if you consider th...

... If you were asking how the regrind itself is done then I would assume it is being done on a belt sander.

Thanks, yes that's what I was meaning. Wondering if anyone does this for themselves, and any pointers about how to do it manually without making a mess.

Interesting. How is this done?

One additional thing, without a lock then a blade with the point high will be less likely to close when making a piercing cut.

Looking at the feedback on that web site, some of the buyers seem to be well aware they're buying fakes. Can't understand that myself.

Speaking just for myself I prefer the Drop because there's less blade sticking out when it's folded. I'm not sure the difference in edge curvature is that significant between the current Drop and Leaf, although I'm just comparing pictures because I only have Drop in the the flesh.

This is what people do to me - show pics and make me want new knives. ;) Now you're the one being a bad influence. As it happens the Urban doesn't do it for me in leaf blade form, although I like the orange wharncliffe. I don't think I'd benefit going down a size from the UKPK unless it was slimmer...

His was serrated.

I don't even know what colour "Teal" is. Sure British Racing Green should be on the menu?

That's strange how your knife didn't come sharp. I've never had a single Spyderco knife come any less than shaving sharp. I found an old Delica 1 from the 90's at a local hardware store, and it was still razor sharp with the factory edge. It shouldn't be too difficult to sharpen it up though. I've ...
