Spyderco Forums

Had this knife been a midlock, especially without a Boye dent, I could understand the described blade-play. I have many Spydies with a compression lock and can’t even imagine what is described. Were it mine, I’d send it to Golden for the fix.

Sliverax

Jeff, does the Sliverax achieve a negative blade-angle nearing an Ayoob’s?

My experience with each in the OP’s list (I have a Yojimbo, not a YoJumbo) has me agreeing with Nick. You can’t go wrong.

I hasten to say, though, that a Yo’s cutting properties, which are fantastic, may surprise you if you are not familiar with Wharncliffes.

I called customer service and they are in the process of exchanging my box for a premium box. All good so far. Glad to see you’ve modified this thread’s title to lower the temperature for later visitors. Sullying Spyderco’s earned reputation for bending over backwards to make things right, BEFORE t...

I thought MagnaCut made the Military2 Salt pretty much a certainty. As with the imminent PM2 Salt, my concern has been corrosion-resistant liners. The PM2 Salt appears to have answered that concern with full liners, and so, too, Eric’s PM2ization of the Military Model. My remaining concern is the sc...

So it’s your grip, not a pressing of the blade on a surface, that results in the blade playing vertically?

I have a fair-sized herd of Spydies and carry pretty much what happens to appeal. But by year’s end—having spent time with new acquisitions, or with comparisons I want to make, or with subjects of conversation here—my most carried and used is usually a PM2 in a preferred steel (10 at last count). Tr...

Excuse me, I have every right to post my disappointment online. Don’t worry about it.

Sorry to see the damage. Did you use your 110V Manix on its factory edge? Photos kinda look like factory. I'm not saying it will stop all chipping, but see how your knife performs after several re-sharpenings. Lots of people report better edge stability after the factory edge is gone. My thoughts, ...

Is the movement a one-time deal per opening, or does it repeat when you press?

An original t1 design run with a steel upgrade and black micarta would be just lovely.

Not to say that Sal would unleash a failure-prone knife on us, but I’m sorta devoted to full-tangs in fixies.

One could definitely go on living without a Temperance, but why, when it might make you feel what you felt so long ago

Thanks for this pertinent and compelling comparison.

A Cult Classic to me is something not popular but highly rewarding; a sleeper when current, and long since forgotten. For Question 3, a well-designed differentiator, I chose the Lil’ Temp1. For Question 1, I checked D’Allara Rescue, Dyad, JD Smith, Schempp Kris, and Worker. I have each to remind me ...

random non-knife person

Are you suggesting that JSumm's data would be more accurate if he randomized his selection of wives?



As interesting as this sounds, Mrs. JSumm might not approve of the testing methodology.

Too hilarious.

Now following this delicious thread.

Just got a Jumpmaster2 after seeing that its blade is serrated H1, and that its FRN scales and my comfortable Enuff Salt and K390 Enuff2 ones are the same with the former only proportionally larger. Having embraced my new fixie fixation, I started to wonder, “like you do” (in Eddie Izzard’s voice), ...

Surely a rival manufacturer must have devised a real-life knife torture test involving twisting the blade contrary to the handle using giant mil-tec cartwheels, all to a pumping heavy rock sound-track, by now?

What is it about YouTube influencers’ needing even more than their own testosterone?

Why do these locks rock?

Probably to give us something to complain about.
