Re: Pendant knife

I suppose a "dealer" could commission a run of them if they wanted to?
I wonder if the tooling for the police pendant is still around.👮

I have been sick in bed the entire day... What a coincidence that a handkerchief would appear... I ordered a pocket stone... Always wanted one. Anyone know if the medium pocket stone comes with a pocket slip or nah? I'm too delirious to check

Re: Mantra: Long Term Review and Thoughts

My Mantra II is the only Delica I've owned or handled. I like how the blade disappears into the handle making it very pocket friendly. The M4 is a nicely added bonus. It is also my first wire clip which I feel matches nicely with the handle material. I feel that the Mantra models are the ultimate ev...

Re: Knife too thin

Yes. Long ago, in "The Dark Times" -- before I was introduced to the wonderful world of Spydie's, I had a SOG SlimJim XL, in theory it seemed like a good idea, super slim, should carry in the back pocket well. First day of carrying it, the third time I used it I think, but the first time ...

Re: My first Spydiechef ... I love it but ...

Nice work Marius! Looks great. Did you try pencil lead on the lock yet? CK No Sir I didn't but I hear people saying that is useless or at least it will work for a while only ... I didn't expect that much lock stick, it's quite annoying... I wonder if that lock bar face is carburized or something......

Thanks for the responses. Does anyone here think that Spyderco would entertain the idea of swapping it for me if it fits? I’d pay for parts and labor, of course.

Cheers,
John
Spyderco does not do mods.
You could send the 2 knives to a private modder & have them do the work for you.

Re: Caring for Spyderco PITS

I recently purchased a PITS. I relubricated it with mineral oil, but after doing so I realized a small dab of grease has been placed right into the detent on the blade, and might have been serving an important function. I know there is a high load between the titanium handle and blade on that point...

If it was really nice to look at, and so to wear as jewelry, I think it would have a market large enough to sell a Sprint or limited run.
If they keep the price reasonable, there should be no problem.

Re: Pendant knife

Maserin miniatures are $18 to $70 and have single or multiple blades and inserts in the handles. How they do it for those prices I don't know but obviously there are ways to manufacture with CNC machines now. I'm sure a little hand fit and finish would be required. I think the Police necklace origi...

Re: Pendant knife

They are really nice, did you do those? I agree, these are really well done. They were done by Santa Fe Stone Works. https://santafestoneworks.com/collections/spydercos-collection I only said China made to (hopefully) significantly lower the price. The bug is about $10, so grade 2 Ti slabs (easier ...

Re: Pendant knife

If its only Titanium and LC200N, $200+ for a knife the size of the Bug is a very hard sell for me. For something that is primarily jewelry, I also wouldn't buy it if it was made in China. It would need to be the most premium of premium materials for me to get behind it. Bug and Honeybee with Apple ...

Sal,
What do you thing the end cost of a Ti handled, LC200N pendant knife would be?
Probably the same as any Ti LC folder.

I was thinking: China made Bug, but with Ti slabs & S30V.
Would that still be that costly?

Re: Pendant knife

I have all the pendants made so far, plus a few Hummingbirds so I'm not going to stop if another one is made. Oh, and of course I have 3 daughters and a wife that will want one. Any chance of a pendant group photo? https://i.imgur.com/ClADAb7.jpg?1 Thanks for the photo. I appreciate it.👍
