Hi All,

I hope you’ll excuse the shameless sales pitch, but I think it’s more than that. You might think of it as a talkin’ story, your call?

Gail and I have been using a combination of the Murray Carter kitchen knives, both at home in Colorado, and...

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

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

I just finished chopping up a bunch of strawberries with my S110V Military.

How about you? What was your Spydie's last chore?

My daughter is getting married in about 4 hours, and my choice was one of many...

Original first gen UKPK...

And for my coin pocket...Edgematters K390 Pingo, Kalgard Gunkote in Flat Grey with blue FRN scales...

:two-heats :cheap-sunglasses...

I have an interest in some new Lil Matriarchs.

In no particular order,

PE and SE K390 Full Flat Grind if possible.
Lil Matriarch Salt (H1, LC200N, or Magnacut)
Emerson Wave Lil Matriarch

Anyone else share my desire for more iterations of this...

Hello Sal,

Hoping there's a chance this will make it's debut sometime this year.

Has a steel and frn color been chosen?

Is the queue still pretty far out?

I appreciate it.

… on my ear!

Yep. Just like the gag where someone gets a phone call whilst ironing laundry, I am that guy! , now sporting a cut ear because I was fiddling with my Ikuchi when answering the phone.

No, I am not going to post a photo, but do feel free...

Recently I launched a thread asking you folks which 3 of the older models you all would like to see in a Sprint Run. The one model that just kept coming up over and over again was the C-60 Ayoob model. It just makes perfect sense to take a hard look at a...

Deacon had a good idea about the casual bombshells Sal drops in seemingly random threads: feel free to add them to this thread so we can see them in all there glory together:
entries get older until mid page two then back to recent

No ETA so far.

Just thought maybe if I called it, it would come out for us to buy one already! Maybe it's shy? ;)

This is a continuation of RamZar's amazing list! The bar was set Very high and I'll try not to mess it up too badly! Thanks RamZar!

I noticed in catalog the Manix Lwt still pinned . I thought from reading they were going to screws ? MG2

Rules:

1. It has to be based on an existing model, current or historical. Anything from the C01 Worker onwards.

2. You can designate the materials, including blade steels and handle materials/inlays.

3. You can designate the grind type and...

Anyone have both a Bob Lum and an Astute?

I've never owned a Lum Chinese Folver, but I do have an Astute. It's one of my favorite knives, but what few gripes I do have with it seem to be answered with the Lum. Less belly, no thumb ramp, maybe a bit of...

Hi Sal,

Almost two years ago you mentioned you´d have a design for Polestar back-lock planned for Golden ( )

May I ask if that project is still alive ?

I assume, being a backlock but looking like the current linerlock Polestar, such a model would...

Anyone wishing there was another premium native 5?
Or are y’all tired of Golden sprints/exclusives? Lol

Hello all. I have a Pacific Salt 2 and the blade touches the left side scale when closed. I have tried to loosen the pivot and handle screws and retighten while ‘flexing’ the handle. This did not help. The scales appear to be straight when laid on a...

Who else is excited about the Damasteel Urban?! This is one of my favorite clip-less folders in the bottom of my pocket, and I can’t wait for the matching UKPK.

I plan on polishing the scales on this one too, like my S90V version.

Didn't want to derail the What's In Your Pocket thread, so I'm moving the discussion here.

You ever like a knife so much you don't want to carry anything else?

That's how I feel about this one:

I like my Chiefs and Yojumbo and Police folders...

I love my Manix 2 and XL knives. I'm hoping Spyderco will do some new updated versions with high end blade steels and handle materials. Maybe even do a mini me Manix version. 😅

Hey All!

There are times when I have to cut through substantial amounts of packing tape to open and break down boxes/packages.
The adhesive and bits of tape gunk up the edge and blade pretty quickly making it get progressively more difficult to cut....

I have a Spyderco fish hunter strapped to my left shoulder and a native 5 salt attached to my lower right side of my life jacket. I was jigging my fishing rod and didn't notice that my rod kept bumping my knife up out of the pocket. Eventually it popped...

What are your predictions, wish lists, etc. for Spyderco Reveal No. 10? I know I'm looking forward to the next one, and last year's second reveal was released around this time of year. The second half of the year could be exciting around here and there...

Here to say my experience with seki city spydercos has been very disappointing. I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same. I sent my police 4 k390 into warranty because the back lock was not sitting flush with the blade during open position....

After searching Forum archives on S90V steel I have come up with 2 attributes. One, it is hard to sharpen. Two, it holds an edge. In my experience, if you have diamond rods for your SharpMaker, S90V is NOT hard to sharpen. What really surprised me was...

Hi, new member to the forum and have a quick question...

I've carried a Delica 4 for many years, along with a few Benchmades, and am looking to add to my (very) small collection.
I really like the side locking action on some of the knives I have, so...

Go get'em boys 🤣

I'm about to start a new project creating a collection of edged tools. 1 hunting spear, 1 knife, and atleast 1 long bladed tool.
Primary consideration will be toughness, then wear as tools will be impacting items from wood to stone or even other metals....

Hi everyone. I'm not the most experienced when it comes to exotic steels like Maxement for instance. I'd be interested to hear what steels everyone around here likes.

Post about your sharpenings. Brand, grit, abrasives, grit progression, desired edge finish, decision making in sharpening, whatever you want. Might be interesting to see what people use for certain tasks, and will give insight into the results of others'...

Well, it finally happened to me, I broke a knife. I was pressing down on some soft Braunschweiger and *ting* the Z-cut snapped at the hole. If these are going to be run so hard, then it's best to avoid putting the hole in the blade. I'll not be replacing...

Pardon me if this topic was recently explored. I searched.

I recently bought one too many M4 Shamans. I am considering returning one, or perhaps making it a safe-queen, not sure.

I notice though, that just the tiniest bit of oil from my hands (even...
