Re: Para 3 LW Centering Issues

First off, please don’t take this the wrong way OP, but i have doubts that the blade is more off centered than it ever was. To me it seems more likely that it was always off centered, but you just now noticed it or saw it from a new angle and it appeared more off center than you remember. I say this...

Re: Did the N5 LW get CQI?

My native 5 salt and native 5 lightweight s110v are t8 all around. My native 5 cruwear smooth g10 and native chief are t8 on the body, but the pivot is atleast a t9, maybe even a t10. Thanks. This is my first N5 LW with t8 all around. My other 6 (bought as recently as christmas) have t6 for the bod...

Did the N5 LW get CQI?

All my previous N5 lightweight's had t6 body screws. Including my maxamet versions. Just got another maxamet version from DLT last week and it has t8 screws on the body. Has anyone else seen this? Wondering if it is a CQI change, or if happened to get a knife that someone ordered, then "borrowe...

Re: S30v chipping on new knife after first use

Many folks have reported it with many steels on factory edges. The generally accepted explanation is that the edges get burnt and become brittle from the factory sharpening on belt grinders. Most folks report that the brittleness goes away after several resharpenings. I've had the same experience o...

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread

I’d be very happy with cruwear also. I too think it’s a great blade profile to take advantage of the steel.

Re: Tanto PM2 Support Thread

Here's the real question: have they announced what kind of steel, or what color G10 scales? The one Eric is showing in the vid clearly is in S30V (says so on the blade), but sure that´s "just" a prototype! I personally really like S30V and would be totally fine with it. In fact, I´d prefe...

Re: A big decade for Spyderco

I remember when the the first paramilitary 2’s started hitting shelves. I was....ecstatic. I knew it was an instant classic. It has been a hall of fame knife for me for a decade now. That’s crazy. Time flies. I actually still own an original manix 2 and also one of the first sprints, a tan g10 model...

Re: So I stripped a pivot screw.

I don't recall ever seeing one that had a screw head that wasn't actually a screw? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the topic here. The Military had a dome head on one side and lots of knives were like that back in the day. I know for sure the screw I stripped is in fact a screw because I have another Ca...

Re: So I stripped a pivot screw.

Get rid of your Husky tools and purchase a high quality tool like Wiha (germany) or equivalent. CG Wiha are definitely better but I also have no problem with my Husky set. I've broke every screw loose I've tried except for one and there is an unbelievable amount of thread locker on the screws on th...

Re: PE H1 for EDC - how long will it last?

I use my pac salt to clean redfish each year when i go to Florida. Every year we catch reds and clean them on the pier. Each year, I take my double stuff down to the pier because the edge doesn’t even last a whole fish. Granted I’m cutting through scales, cutting the spine (getting the tail off), an...

Awesome, thanks Sal! I’m really looking forward to the details, and really excited to see spyderco once again pushing the envelope with new steels.

Even though the maxamet Para 3 and PM2 are “regular production” they are treated like sprints because they are so scarce. When they come in stock, anywhere, there is generally a thread made here and they are generally gone within the day. Every time. Just like sprints. Para 3 Maxamet has been avail...
