This will be my ongoing experiences with all 3 salts as my work steels...
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion involving the now 3 salt steels, and I've seen a lot of opinions of thoughts on them all. I just wanted to share my experiences of real...
Just received manix 2 xl in black dlc. Knife is is not heavy, action of lock is smooth, though not as fast as an axis lock. Definitely want to keep it, but if you are thinking of getting one, you should know it really is xl, lol! It is long, not thick,...
Background: I own five Native 5's. I recently picked up a brown G10 / M390 Native Chief because I was wanting something a bit longer. The Chief is great, but it's a bit too long, and by not adding height to scales and blade the proportions are thrown off....
Hey All,
I recently got a Para 3 in 20CV and love it. However, its a bit big for my uses - mostly opening packages and sometimes cutting down cardboard. I work in retail and mostly worry I'm scaring my customers or coworkers when I flick it open, hahaha....
sal has informed via the: So, Sal, is the Caly3 model extinct ?! thread, that the maker of the Calypso Jr has found the bi-directional fish scale FRN tooling, and that they can produce a Sprint Run of the model.
I had considered attempting to come up with my own unique steel compositions, but just wanting to do so doesn't mean that you have something unique to offer. However, spending all this time on...
In my part of the knife community, every knife company should start any introduction to a knife of interest with the blade steel and its hrc. That is a world of pertinent information. This is the nine tenths of the required knowledge lying below the...
I would love to see the Caly3 being brought back as a lightweight or even with some fancy scales. I might be wrong but I remember Sal saying that this was a model refined in time with love. I don’t think it was a poor seller but…who knows… your guess is...
I've missed just about every sprint run I've been interested in. Either it released while I was sleeping or at work. Does anyone know when this milli 2 sprint run will drop? I have 5 pages to sites that will have it once it drops open and the knife in my...
I received my Manix 2 lightweights in Magnacut not long ago. I noticed that both knives have a laser engraving/etching/stamp etc. whatever you want to call it on the tang of the blade. Does anyone else have this stamp on there's?? You are...
thank you for all your kind replies to my first thread (Recommendations for a European traditionalis), I've now got my first Spyderco knife and I'm going to tell you all the things you already know about anyways, but I'm just pretty...
I haven't heard anything from Spyderco about when the OpFocus seconds sale will be this year. It seems like it is generally the first or second Sunday in May? In years past it looks like it has been announced in March but there haven't been any...
Hi, I have found a few long lost knives from a collection I had several years ago.
It was a set of three mini spyderco knives. Unfortunatly I have only the two smaller ones.
They are in perfect condition.
Are they worth anything?
Why the name? Where was it derived from? I only own one Spyderco knife. My CO8GS Harpy G-10. Purchased it from a knife dealer NIB for $80 last May. Its came in handy many times for my line of work. Wouldnt part with it for the world.
Dr Larrin did some extensive testing on 8Cr13MoV which helps put this budget material into perspective in its capabilities compared to other materials.
While there was lots of talk about real world testing being more important than controlled testing....
Knife friends I have a Mariner that has me stumped. It has the vent holes on both sides and was made in SEKI. What confuses me is that it has some black left in the untouched areas. The black looks to come from the factory. I took some pics and hopefully...
First I need to introduce myself, since this is my first post.
My name is Bernhard, I'm from a small European country named Austria. I've been into knives my whole life, roughly 35 years by now, but I've been interested mostly in traditional...
Hat's off to you Larrin. I'm carrying a Manix with Magnacut. Very sharp. Took a beautiful edge. Also doing very well in our corrosion test tank, after 10 days. Gonna be fun.
sal
i know the manix is a little less popular than some other models (even...
Hey there, name is Cory and I've been a member of the forum for about 10 years but gave up on being a knife hobbiest 6-7 years ago and when I tried to get back on my old account I couldn't remember the password and I lost my original email years and...
Hi! With the Dragonfly being an EDC MVP, whether as a primary or secondary carry, I finally decided to get the S30V model. I'm just not sure that I'm man enough for the pink scales. So I've been looking at other options (besides just dyeing them)....
This thread is dedicated to the good deals on Spyderco knives, which you might come across whilst browsing the websites of reputable resellers based in Europe (specifically : within the European Union Customs Union).
Hi, I purchased a New G10 Manix s110v, but the blade bevel is slightly uneven. At the very tip of the blade it is slighty bigger than on the other side. I know it really doesnt affect much but I was under the impression that Spyderco had the most...
It has been awfully quiet on any news regarding the slipjoint and the smaller version of the Kapara... I was really hoping 2024 would be the year for it.
As a Brit abroad i’m always on the lookout for any good slip joints for carrying when I visit the UK. I’ve been using my S110V Para 3 a lot the last few days and got to wondering if we might ever see a slip joint version aimed at the UK market. A quick...
I just picked up a new Paramilitary 2 and the Date Code is 1348. Does anyone know how to decipher this? Great knife by the way. So far my largest in my collection.
Wow! Didn’t see this coming. Love David’s designs. Can’t tell if this one has a lockbar insert given the pictures, and the description doesn’t indicate one way or the other.
