Anyone have info on what coating Spyderco use on their Temperance and Perrin. I saw the new black coated models in a catalogue but there wasn´t any info on what type it was.

Thanks,

I read Vancook's article in TK Sept. issue. I'd handled one a few months back at one of our Ricmond Gun and Knife shows. I was skeptical. Last weekend I went out to another show with a thought maybe to give it another try. One of the venders had two for...

As I understand things the Gunting was developed specifically for Martial Blade Craft. My question is do I have to train with the Gunting training tapes or can I use the MBC training tapes? I am curious are the Gunting techniques and drills that much more...

Tim Wegner's company, Blade Tech, is producing an improved version of the Wegner. It is going to debut at the SHOT show. I understand they should be available for sale in about a month.

I'd like to try out one of Spyderco's compression locking knives. Does anybody have an opinion on what models are best representative of the compression lock?

I saw a picture in TK (I think) of this knife. Looks like a Wegner but has these tiny animal tracks all over the scales. Did I dream this?

Moderator or Admin., please delete. Thanks.

Hello *@*,

I have a question regarding the latest Endura modell with FRN handles and a plain edge:

Am I right that the 2002 model has a (partly) flat ground blade (as opposed to hollow grinds in earlier models)? Furthermore I would like to know if...

How many of you guys use PayPal and purchase online. I just signed up and made an purchase and am a little nervous. I am pretty new to buying online. Is PayPal pretty safe?

I wonder why the serration is only one side grinded and this side is not so useful for right handed persons.

If you try to cut somthing, this is not the correct side for this I think.

Of course the left side of the knife is the one a right handed person...

I'll be in Denver the middle of Feb and plan on visiting Spyderco. Do they have tours?

I'll have to stop by SFO too. Unfortunately, my cash situation may warrant merely a trinket as a keepsake.

Besides a Viele, what other models are smooth openers? One dealer says that the Viele is the best from Spyderco.

aaack! i just realized that that had happened. those that have them: how do you like the knife? what are it's strongpoints/weakpoints? i'm thinking of SE but PE really does look sleek... what do you guys think? thanks

See if I'm correct in my understanding: The C08 Harpys were only made in Stainless Steel handles, and a limited production of G10 handles in 1997.

The only version having FRN handles is technically a C21 Merlin... is that right?

sorry, dp.

I recently got my fifth(?) Delica, this one has the fully-serrated VG-10 blade. This is my third knife in VG-10 (the others are a SS Police and an Endura), and it continues to be one of my all-time favorite steels. I have found over the years I prefer the...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had a SS spydie reworked with the web lazer engraving (or is it etching?) actually engraved into the handle? I had in mind the web pattern cut into the handle, about 1/32 wide and 1/32 deep. This would be done for grip...
