Spyderco Forums

Not completely forgotten but possibly fading from memory.



I carry my Almite version a few times a year. The Nishijin version is in my pocket today for the first time in many years.

Nice pic, nice knife, nice scales! :)... But what are they made of exactly? Can´t really tell on my cellphone-screen...

Hard anodized aluminium. Kevin Wilkins made them for a while.

...Snip .. I'd be happiest to see it in a sort of modified sheepsfoot, reverse tanto, or wharncliffe, with a slight belly, because I've found that to be the most useful shape for general EDC tasks. Full-flat ground of course. So few Spydies have this kind of slight belly and that's a bit annoying b...

Whilst I voted yes, I’d much rather see a flat ground, stainless, leaf or drop point blade in the Rescue 79 / Salt Saver chassis. I no longer really carry or use knives in excess of 3.25 inch blade length outside of the kitchen.

Stainless, just a touch of belly, wire clip and a darker carbon fiber ... I’d probably get whatever comes out as I kick myself for missing it but those would be my preferred options.

The second Spyderco I bought, mid / late 90s AUS8 Endura

Has Spyderco ever done a hollow grind that goes into the opening hole? If the hollow grind stops before the opening hole starts, it’s a hollow sabre grind in my mind. Swayback is the most recent one that comes to mind Yup and the Southard as I discovered when I started looking at mine. https://i.po...

JD, you don't strike me as a guy that would carry one of these newfangled flipper bearing Ti framelock thangs

So how often do you carry discontinued knives? I seem to prefer the older models (but not as much as I thought it transpires). I do understand and appreciate the fear that they may not be replaceable or repairable if they are lost or damaged. I also understand wanting to carry the latest releases. I...

Hi PSquared, Bob Lum had offered the model to us while we met with him in Eugene. I told him that we'd prefer to mod the model a bit to make it easier to open. He declined so we declined and then Bob offered to Benchamde. sal Thanks for the reply Sal, not great news but always really fascinating to...

I didn’t want to derail Mr Blonde’s thread on that rare Chinese but the enthusiasm for Mr Lum’s designs is apparent. What would be the possibility of an All Rounder being made by Spyderco? Benchmade had a version they called the Dejavoo, full size and “mini” (3.25 in blade), that have been discontin...
