Spyderco Forums

I'd like to know what effects the cost of fixed blades vs folders. There has to be more to it than I see and rationalize in my head because looking in from the outside, I see a fixed blade as being significantly simpler to manufacture than a folder, it...

Many people obviously wish for more (LC200N) Salt knives, often for mid size PM2-, Stretch-, Endela-sized ones.
One thing Spyderco probably has to consider in that regard are the costs for new FRN molds.

Now: Actually it looks like they already DO...

Today for me it the G-10 Cat!! John

If this is a duplicate thread.. Please delete..

A new article finishing off the series on very high edge retention stainless knife steels. I wrote about the history of the steel, the design including why it has cobalt and niobium, and then show my tests on the steel including hardness, corrosion...

Have you owned a Spyderco lockback with zero play?

I haven't.

Whether they are US, Japanese or Chinese Spyderco lockbacks, all of them have some degree of vertical play when pushing the cutting edge into thick materials.

I've tried Natives,...

Welcome fellow spyderwrench owners.
This is a easy club to join. Post a pic of your spyderwrench and your in :)

I'd like a place for us to lucky owners to post our pics so we can all see each others tools.

This thing is a piece of art...

I know this forum loves asking for each pattern to be available in every steel, but which patterns actually bring out the best in each steel?

I.e. - Cruwear/4v manix - big, stout folder with a strong/tough steel

Zdp-189/super blue Caly 3.5 - if it's...

Hi
The backlock in Chaparral is absolutely the best one I ever handled. It is significantly improved compared to Endura/Delica family. What other Spyderco knives have the same lock?

Hello all.

First post and I made this account specifically for this. Apologies if this is in the wrong place etc, I am not a big forum person.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a release date or even some sort of ETA on the Swayback? BladeHQ put out...

In some recent thread about Spyderco model and steel combination there were quite a few members talking about Moran Fixed blade with some ,,upgraded,, steel.

Since the research and development is already done for this model, and there are FRN molds for...

I know this has probably been addressed multiple times but one of my PM2's (my Maxemet variation) blades is very noticeably off center and I've watched youtube video after video explaining different techniques to center the blade on a PM2 specifically and...

I have a question for those of you who've been collecting Spydercos for a while. Was there ever a plain edge Navigator with a SOLID blue Almite handle? I've seen them with slotted blue Almite handles, and I have one with an SE blade and solid blue handle....

Every week I see some really great pics on this forum so I thought we could have a weekly competition. The competition will last from Monday to Sunday and the winner and runner up will be announced on Sunday evening. The winner will be the judge for the...

I was thinking about how much I love the smooth contoured scales of the Shaman, but I also love the finesse of the PM2. Can we get a run of PM2’s with smooth contoured scales (CF :D ) and maybe add a wire clip?

What do y’all think?

Just got a notification that these are shipping to dealers. Really looking forward to getting one of these!

Well most of you here know I'm really old school'. Yes I'm so Old School that many of you find it annoying :rolleyes:

But one thing about the Spyderco models that made me a fan for life were darned good in spite of the fact that very few people on the...

Hey friends,

I haven’t received a shipping confirmation for my exclusive para 3 from several days ago, and when I track the order on their website it still shows as await fulfillment. I’m getting a tiny bit worried, but I don’t mind if it’s taking a...

Here is an example. This forest green is just great. Now we need some more earth tones.

I have been kicking around this idea for a while and have the design, specs and material specification parameters together, question is, do you think Spyderco would be interested in producing such a knife? I see the knives that a lot of Wildland...

Does anyone else think a 14” hybrid machete/butchers knife would be awesome? Obviously LC200N to withstand the wet jungle and kitchen environments. You can justify it as a kitchen knife but also take it out of the knife drawer and play weekend jungle...

Picked up a ZDP-189 Sabre Delica in BRG and noticed the detent was weaker than my other models, including my VG-10 Sabre. Upon further inspection I noticed the cutouts in the tang where the lock bar engages are quite different.

ZDP has a flatter cutout...

Well, maybe not really a fighting knife unless you want to argue about who gets to open the beer. For years I campaigned for a knife with a bottle opener; a real knife like a Spyderco with a 3.5 inch blade, the opening hole and the pocket clip....

Just saw this up on EBay and was curious whether anyone knows anything about it? Looks pretty sketchy but I’ve been wrong before.

Admittedly, I started (at least) three separate Endela-threads already (links to those see at the end of my post), but those were concerning more specific features or roles of the knife.

So I thought we could need a dedicated-, overall-, first...

I had pocket extensions sewn into 7 pairs of pants, so now I can carry any of my knives in them - even my Millie!

What's the craziest/wierdest/funniest thing you've ever done to show your devotion to the knife life?

I bought an Astute on a whim because I liked the design. It looked like it had a lot of cutting edge and looked much bigger in the pictures than it actually is. After receiving this knife and using it for various tasks in the kitchen and in the field, I...

This is a question that has come up several times over the years and the answers are as wide spread as Who Your Favorite Celebrity Is? I've got one that I truly believe meets all the criteria you could consider. And I've wondered over the years why this...

Hey y'all,

After carrying my Super Blue Caly 3 for some time, I think I have been bitten by the high carbon bug. For me, I love the sharpening experience, the toughness, and the natural patina. The only sadness is that although I love the Caly, right...

If you are a knifemaker or machinist, I could use some advice on how to shallow-jimp the spine area of my beloved Caly Jr. I want to jimp the area in the oval below, fairly shallow, just enough to get some thumb grip. I'm pondering three options: (1) I...

I figured we could get a thread going on different Spyderco screw sizes. Frequently google'ed subject, ebay sellers make a fortune selling them, and the factory screws are not really standard sizes :)

I'll add/correct this OP as we go.

Clip Screws...

How many lefties have tried a left handed pm2? If you have is it worth it over the right handed pm2? I would think the only negative might be a reduced resale value.

Just got the notification from the app. Ready your wallets folks!

I'm working on some carbon fiber with blue g10 liner scales. I want to get new screws and lanyard tube. There seems to be an abundance of pm2 tubes but not so much for the manix 2. I have found some but was wondering if the pm2 lanyard tube would fit the...

With another thread recently discussing the left-handed PM2 as well as left-handed user's opinions with left-handed compression lock operation, I made a video showing how I open and close my compression lock knives.

As much as I'd love to have a lefty...

Well, I feel like a little kid right now just waiting for Santa, in this case the Mail person. I am waiting on 3 Spydercos: a Delica super blue, Cat G10, and Pacific salt spyderedge. What's in the mail on your side of the woods?
