Spyderco Forums

The SuperLeaf, Caly 3.5, Sage 3, CF UKPK and CF Lum all look amazing. The big Lum... hmm. Jury's still out. Too many nice knives! I still haven't gotten all the current models on my wishlist and more keep coming!

How's that texturing do, grip-wise? I was a bit surprised not to see the raised bi-directional pattern that's been on all the other recent FRN handle molds.

If you do a search on the Spyderco SpyderSaw on this forum, you'll find some different opinions and results on its performance. I've tried using it a few more times on different woods, and while it's been better (Not binding as much) than that first test, it hasn't performed that much better. Maybe...

I wonder if we'll see a serrated version of the Balance? :D

But... metal handles? Why do that to what looks to be a great knife?

That's charliemike over on bladeforums. He's known for putting a wave on anything with an edge.

Instead of a big knife? :p

I'd pass, but then, with a few exceptions like Victorinox's alox scales, I don't like metal handles.

I've used that style before. It takes some time to assemble, but it works quite well, yes.

Have you every tried holding a Micro Dyad, or any of the other Dyads for that matter, in you left hand and opening it? I'm betting you never have, otherwise you would not have asked that question. I've always just opened my MD with both hands because it's so small. *tries* Okay, I see what you're t...

How can a clipless backlock knife have a handedness?

I have one and carry it sometimes, but the blades stick out way too far from the handle when closed to make it comfortable. The finish is lacking too, especially for what it cost -- some of the pins that hold the bone in place weren't flattened, and stick out far enough to be annoying. In general, t...

As far as I know, Spyderco has only released 2 products with saws: The T02 Spydersaw, and the byrd BY13 Tool Harp. I decided to take both out for a spin, along with the Victorinox saw (The best small folding saw blade I've used) in the form of my trusty Pioneer Harvester. http://raevnos.pennmush.org...

I have a PE Crossbill that's nice for breaking down boxes, but in general, I much prefer SE on hawkbills -- my Spyderhawk, Tasman, and of course Ladyhawk all have teeth. I mostly use the big ones on vegetation, where the serrations really help. The Ladybug Hawk mostly gets used on opening packages, ...

It's a fun blade, but too big for EDC (At least, for me. There are people here who think nothing of shoving it down their pants and carrying IWB. I try that, and I can't sit down!), and I don't do a lot of bushcrafty stuff using a knife (My woodsy knife requirements tend to either lean bigger into m...

I have one of the D2 Paras, and while it took me a long time to warm up to it (I'm a tip-up clip person), eventually something clicked after I made myself carry it for a while, and now it's a design I like a lot. Except for the clip (Mine came with a stripped screw on the clip, too, so I can't remov...

I finally broke down and picked up a Stretch (FRN, ZDP-189)... I think it might possibly have knocked the Centofante 3 out of my #1 all-round favorite Spyderco spot.

Fixed: Rock Salt. Or Aqua, or Bushcraft, or Temp (1 or 2)...
Folder: Already carrying a big fixed blade, so something smaller... Lava, maybe, or a Dyad Jr.

You got guns for actually killing the dirty commie pigs. :p

Yep. Folks do seem to like it. Which makes me wonder if I'm the only one who was surprised that Spyderco is using GIN-1 rather than 154CM for the FRN UKPK's? I vaguely remember seeing a post from Sal saying that Hitachi had stopped making GIN-1, which made it quite surprising. Maybe they found a st...

As it is now, the Rock Salt. If the Warrior didn't have that sharpened bit on the spine, it'd be a lot more attractive to me.

Why use a pocket knife in the kitchen? It's a great way to put a patina on a carbon steel blade, for one. And because I can.
