Spyderco Forums

I don't understand splitting wood with a knife, I think people do it just because they see it done on the internet. If you want smaller pieces of wood, then pick up smaller pieces of wood. I agree that there is some satisfaction in knowing that your gear will survive whatever you do with it. Would ...

which design of hammer is the best at slicing cuts?

my ball peen isn't working out that well. you should have seen the look on my daughters face when I tried slicing her birthday cake with that hammer.

love how much character your delica has goodeye :) thanks, so do I. What are you cutting that has the blade scratched up like that? I know 420J2 scratches very easily, but my ZDP/420J2 Caly 3 has seen a lot of cardboard and isn't near as scratched up as that. I like it actually, and I kinda wish al...

nice review.

the sb Delica has not left my pocket since it was released.

I'd like to see a lightweight version of this with a H1 blade. I love H1 for kitchen duty when I'm not at home. I've ruined knives before by cutting salty or acidic foods and not remembering or being able to clean the blade properly afterwards. Wether you're cooking at a party or in the wild it's n...

I feel the same, but your definition of less is my definition of way too many. I have something like six spyderco folders. and while I would love to "collect" many more models I understand that the pinnacle of my enjoyment comes when I realize I've used the same knife for three months stra...

you would have no problem with this knife. the frn native was my first, it went through **** and back as my only knife.

Olympus Mons, Tharsis, Mars.

in other words, the answer to the question is 42.

I'm waiting (impatiently :) ) for my new D'fly2 with super blue. :D The grey FRN handle will be fine I'm sure but I may want to dye it. I've never done that. Does anyone know if the grey FRN is light enough to dye well? Has anyone dyed their grey FRN before? I don't know if I will want to do this b...

From what I've read and seen pictures of you do not want to get H1 in very close proximity (touching) to concentrated Chlorine tablets, It makes a mess of it :eek: I haven't tested my Caspian around concentrated KOH at work either :eek: I'll let others test that before I try ;) I'm guessing with my...

it wouldn't be the first time that spyderco did a rolling change to a model, starting with a sprint run. (cpm m4 military, and steel inserts for the frame lock)

that said, steel liners on this knife would be silly and unnecessary.

I believe I've read some discussion here about needing to touch up as the fresh edge oxidizes. Can someone comment on that? I haven't noticed any issues on my Endura and it's still whittling hair weeks after sharpening. on a theoretical level, any oxidization will decrease edge sharpness. on a real...

for how well it holds an edge, it sharpens quite easily. I did my "GoodEyeSniper" test on it, which consists of using it seven days a week for months, well past the point of any respectable knife nut carrying it due to dullness. it didn't do as well as cpm m4 which is nearly impossible to ...

super blue still proving it doesn't really want to keep any patina going for me. this has been in my pocket since it was released. it gets covered in chemicals, sweat, food, blood, etc every day. my latest hypothesis why it remains nearly stain free is because I cut up dozens of yards of cardboard a...

sprint run with super blue steel and exotic handle material?

it's been the super blue Delica since that sprint dropped, and nye was no exception. saw some use cutting up paper for some party games last night. then it did some hiking food prep today.

pretty perfect knife, IMO.

frn native.

if I had been taught how to sharpen early on, this might still be my only modern folder. but when that amazing s30v got dull enough I ended up buying more... and here I am now.
