Spyderco Forums

Had I not read the subject, I'd have thought the video was about people who don't like FRN handled knives.

Anchor announced last week that they were stopping National distribution, then gave up completely and announced yesterday that they are liquidating. Kinda sad. Fritz Maytag is like the granddaddy of modern Craft Brewing. If not for him, we might all be drinking Coors and Budweiser today. In my opin...

caved ignominiously as you Who you callin' a... a... a cave ignoramus??? Actually, I felt an obligation to buy this knife. I had to put my money where my mouth is. A while back in one of those threads asking what Spyderco should make next, I wrote something about a Paramilitary 2 XL with some inter...

DARN! DARN! DARN! I caved. I couldn't resist. I was weak. The Stretch 2 XL caught my eye the day it was announced. I was patient. Then it was released in Cru-Wear. The price was more than I wanted to pay, but it was nevertheless difficult to resist the temptation. Then this "Summer Sale" c...

People told me to buy a honing steel, but can I use my Sharpmark as a honing steel? If yes, how? I have the grey rods and white rods that come with it. Good thing you came here to learn from the RIGHT people. I have a honing steel because there would be an empty hole if I threw it in the trash. Jus...

tighter jogging shorts!

Or eat more ice cream, obviously. That would tighten up my shorts.

True, but then you're more likely to print.
Have you had your court date yet, after that little altercation with the sheriff?

try to keep a "Drafty Brain" With what back-locks do you have experience? Yes, the wind blows in one ear and out the other, clearing out the dust and cobwebs. In the days of old I've used Buck and Case back locks, which I found a bit clunky to operate. I also have a back lock Smith & ...

Appreciate the comprehensive running list. Noted, that you did not include underwear in the list. How does that square with your dislike of a trinket banging against your leg? Trinket? Can't say I've ever heard that euphemism before. But to answer your question, my running shorts have liners. When ...

the law considers the knock-on effects of crime to be the victim's burden Even if the case was settled in your favor and you were awarded the $3000 in damages, you'd still be screwed. You'd be out your time and money to litigate, and criminals tend to come from a demographic that doesn't have vast ...

What knife do you prefer to carry when you run/jog? I quit running to devote more time and energy to mountain biking. But my feelings are the same for both activities that involve repetitive leg motion. A knife or any other trinket banging or rubbing your leg with every step is awful. After a long ...

I was trying to find information on my ZT 0460 and found a BF thread where someone referred to the small ZT's as 'pocket jewelry';i.e-only the large blades were 'okay' with him. All my knives are pocket jewelry. If they don't look pretty, then I don't want them. The "price tag," however, ...

Is there drama in the Reddit It depends. If you offer your knives for less than market value, then you'll fit right in. If you offer your knives for what they're selling for elsewhere, they'll swarm on you and peck at your flesh like starving vultures... envious, bitter, starving vultures. I've fou...

I love to acid etch a spydie blade and pocket clip and then sand it off, finishing with 12,000 grit sandpaper. I reassemble the knife and I love the aged look it gives it. Just curious. I've done a couple blades that I've done. I've used cold gun blue and browning. I think it looks good to get an e...

Again, thanks for all the helpful advice and support from the forum. You guys are great. Total bummer. But to be objective, the outcome wasn't all that bad. Your wife walked away from a sketchy situation unscathed. There's some inconvenience, and the financial loss is probably manageable... unless ...

Every spring in preparation for a trip to Utah, I read Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. Don't agree with all his views, but his descriptions and storytelling of the tortured canyon country of the Colorado Plateau is excellent. Yeah, although I love Southern Utah, I don't know if I'd like Abbey. He...

This pretty much sums it up for me, except I would add that the heart monitor and fall detector are useful for people of a certain age. My watch alerted me to a racing heart that turned out to be due dehydration & low electrolytes on days where I pushed too hard in the heat. The heart monitor i...

They are very, very expensive over here and I need a new computer, as well. Something to save up for. Ugh. I feel your pain. I'm running Developer Beta software on some devices, but it failed on my desktop computer and tablet. It turns out that both are so old that they won't run the latest operati...

Hey, T.J. For years I was miffed about the right-hand-only compression locks. Finally, out of curiosity, I got one. It wasn't my favorite. So I stole the idea of the guy who makes the little button that fits on compression locks. I made one of my own, and I REALLY like it. I like the right-hander wi...

some folks are comfortable with intense competition for mules, you can see by reading his forum comments that Sal was not, Yeah, it makes perfect sense. If there are buyers for 1200 units, and only 700 were manufactured, then not only was there money left on the table, but there will be grumpy cust...

I’m learning how to make my own scales which I never thought I’d do, it’s an anxiety thing. I guess I’m saying the best part is you get to decide and have fun learning in the process. Right? If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it. And when the learning stops, it soon becomes monotonous, and I'll s...
