Spyderco Forums

The Blade Shop does not sell knives, they just rip off customers.

You may want to check out Jerzee Devil, it is a great forum, and it is free.

Best place to buy Spydercos online? Easy, Cutlery Shoppe. Nobody beats Jeff's prices.

Zenith, what do you mean, you have sen some go for under $200? I hope you did since it is a $120 knife...

T6 is the basic Torx size for many knives. Besides the Spydies that Deacon mentioned, all Benchmade clip screws and scale screws are T6.

Check Cutlery Shoppe, I think they should get some in soon. Just drop Jeff an e-mail.

What do you mean expensive? The Bradley costs around $120 street price...

A few sold on eBay well over $300 a few months ago, now prices seem to have come down around $250. There were a few deals on forums in the price range you mentioned, those were steals, in my opinion.

How about these from CSD in Germany?

My favorite Spydercos are made in Taiwan.

I love my BG-42 Sebenza, but IMO the BG-42 Military is not worth the very considerable premium it commands in the secondhan market today. YMM V. I agree, for the same price you can get the S90V one or the upcoming M4 Millie, provided you are on the list. BG-42 is a good steel but nothing extremely ...

Can we now move on to discuss the upcoming Large Manix 2 with 5mm-thick blade, .100" ti liners and Comp lock? Thank you! :D

I have read some makers commenting that it takes a finer edge and a better finish than S30V, but have not seen any evidence of that. I am waiting for my first custom in S35VN, should be here next week, I'll see what gives.

I cannot notice a difference with S30V.

Heresy! Leave the Poliwog alone. I try to keep my knives as far away from Mr. Krein as possible.

What can I say, Charlynn rocks!

Here is an extremely basic grouping of the steels. They have different properties and could be debated for pages but they are within a close enough spectrum to understand: Good Steels: AUS8, 440C, GIN-1, 8Cr13Mov (Byrd/Tenacious/Persistence) Premium Steels: ATS-34, 154cm, VG10 Super Steels: CPM-S30...

Give him the Caly, sell the Stretch and get a Caly CF for yourself.

One thing I have learned: I avoid buying people stuff I am very passionate about (knives, watches, art or car books) because I know they will not appreciate the gift as much as I expect them to.

I don't think the lock design has anything to do with the failure of that Manix. The ball bearing itself did not fail. The failure was caused by everything around that bearing not being beefy enough, from the pivot to the liners. If the bearing is not properly held in place, the folder will fail. I ...

wow they even cloned ebay . :eek: Seriously though. I know sal can be very persuasive, but if disney and microsoft, each of which have more money that god, can't convince the government of china to crack down on companies there making knockoffs and clones, i just don't see much chance of him doing ...
