I am curious about the proper way to open and close my delica one handed. It is tip up carry. So far for opening I just use the tip of my thumb and push forward. How do people cut themselves? I haven't had any problems. I was also wondering if anyone had...

Well,

About a week ago was looking for suggestions on what to make my first serious knife, on Monday i ordered them (Just so you know Blades, i took your suggestion and got two knives, a spyderedge Dragonfly and a plain edge Native), and today my...

I love the almite handle's how about a RED or BLUE colored one. oh yeah buy a chinese folder.

How many knives are enough? just one more.

hi again.

i have a cricket and love it. however, i once adjusted the pivot tension by loosening the screw, and now it keeps on working itself loose. i must continually tighten it (every couple weeks) in order to keep it from falling apart! please...

i have a friend who is hunting guide in mexico and for his birthday i was going to get him a tim wegner but i thought i might ask the fourmites if they thought maybe the chinook or the military or another spyderco knife i havent yet thought of might be...

Does anyone know of a good place to have a handle on an all steel spyderco engraved with a design or patern. Thanks

Hey there,

I would like to know whether there is a change to attach a normal belt clip to the remote release from Spyderco.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Kind regards,

Oliver

A couple questions on this on...

What is:

1> the blade length, looks about 2

2> the handle type, looks like either Zytel or g-10

3> Price

I got Clay to send pics, and it seems like a nice knife. However, I can't seem to find any info on it....

im looking for a blue native, used in good condition. can anyone help me?

i haven't seen the meercat anywhere. can anyone tell me about it, or where i can see a picture of it. also, what else new is coming out that i haven't seen yet? any help would be appreciated.

I have had the Mouse for awhile now and the only refinement that appears to be missing is a David Boye indent for the frontlock lever.

I can see how some people would prefer G10, but IMO the folder would lose some of its innocuous elegance. A mouse...

What kind of steel is used in the SS versions of Spydercos? Do you use different types of steels in the handles? Do all companies use the same kind of steel? I'm betting not for the last question, but I had to ask.

Ehh, supposed to be Thorin... : )

Hello. I am a longtime lurker with a question that I can't seem to get answered by searching the archives.

I love the G-10 Serrated Harpy I have clipped into my right pocket, but I think that some cutting tasks would be served better by a plain edged...

I was hoping somebody could give me a rundown of the basic steels in spyderco's knives and what their advantages and disadvatages are. I have looked through spyderco's charts but that doesn't help me much. Thanks.

i found a company today while i was working(sorta working) and they said they could get me an aluminum cricket for $43.00. but she said it would be drop shipped to me from the supplier they go through if they had one. 10 minutes later i get a call and...

I know the Wegner was on the list for possible culling. I have heard rumors that it is marked for discontinuation. Is this true? If so I had better stock.

Sal, I remeber you saying that production was backed up on the Military.

Which started me thinking, by how much does the Military outsell other Spyderco's that are close to the same price?

if anyone has a khalsa folder id like to know what you think of it. i have only handled one once, and it was quite a while ago. do you think it would make a good mbc knife?

Folks,

I know that this is premature, but it's on the horizon. My serrated, stainless steel Police model, that is. Apparently the shop I deal with has this knife in stock now, and Wednesday is the first day I'll have a chance to make the trip to pick...

Hey, spyderco fanatics. First off,I would like to say I love the knives. I currently own a SS police, a Carbon Fiber Civilian, a spydercard, and the Gunting.

I'm looking now for a knife that I could use for fishing. I ofen go offshore and fight large...

I just purchased a delica lightweight plain edge and was hoping for some suggestions on caring for and sharpening of it. I think the term sheeple that you have developed is hilarious and true. I'm 17 and did over 5 years of karate and had to put up with...

Yeah got #79 Gunting and am very impressed, nice lill blade, wasnt the size I expected, from the pics I thought it would be larger(not the blade, the whole thing)

If I was to make changes tho, Id make the base of the handle around 1cm longer, just so I...

doh, double posted, sorry guys

what is the proper technique for sharpening a delica with a whetstone and what would be the proper stone to use?

quote: Bob Lum wanted his Tanto tip up. He then wanted the Chinese folder tip down. we'll generally yield to the custom collaborators preference.

Sal, this is a quote from a post of yours on BF a couple of years ago. You'll probably think it is pretty...

First off, I'd like to say that choosing a spyderco as my first real knife was a no-brainer! My roommate last year had a Spyderedge Pro-Grip, and the thing was great! I ran around the apartment for a good week looking for stuff to cut up with it. He got...

My only problem I have with my spyderco's is choosing which one to carry. I work in an office/technical environment which cuts it down a bit but there are still lots of choices. I usually opt for the Michael Walker half serrated. Very light, certainly can...

A year or so ago there was the discussion of the idea of a purpose-built firefighter's folder. I don't know if it is an idea that is being quietly pursued at Spyderco, but if it is, perhaps we could help explore the idea here -- if not, we can still...

Ok..everytime I send out the Gunting info files and the instructor-seminar papers the good ole USA government puts on a marker-tracker file..

Of course my PC reads it as an unwanted virus and dumps it..

BUT.. i find it strange that my files are lean..my...

Just a thought,but I found through countless use and some of the recent articles i've read I would love to see a fixed chinook.A little more exagurated guard as with the horns on the gunting,but same handle style,of course we wouldn't have a hole,but it...

Was curious about something.

I'm starting to think that we as a defensive knife culture have lost sight of the fact that 99 times out of 100 we'll call on our knives to do utility work, basic cutting chores, boxes, cord and the like. Yes we all prepare...

I have been carrying my Rescue since 1993. At the time I was 17 and I needed a knife to help me in my work as a loudspeaker design and build technician for GoldSound and for my work in the early Rave industry with The Electric Company. I had the original...

Dear Poppa Spyder and the Spydercrew,

I have a fully serrated Military which served me very well. A small portion of this Spydie's tip was nicked off due to heavy use. Is it possible to have it ground with a new tip? Your feedback is highly...

Hey Y'all...

I just got my Military in the mail. Man, this is one Hoss of a knife. I like it. I did notice a potential problem though. The metal lanyard liner wasnt flush on one side. I pushed on it with my finger and it pushed in. This puzzled me, so...

The Natives w/shell inlays look nice. Can anyone comment on how robust the inlays are? Brittle if dropped? Break if handle twisted or flexed? Problems for gripping?

IMHO, Native is a terrific MOR knife - good enough to be acceptable even for the most...

i need a blade that will hold its edge under heavy use. i would like it to be a straight edge.

thanks for all the help!

Help me out here guys.

I'm firmly convinced that recently I came across a photo of a Spyderco R knife. This Knife was an endura sized version of the Spyderco Q knives. Skeletonized handle and all. Please tell me I'm not hallucinating here, I can't seem...

I saw this wire framed knife and fell in love with it. I was wondering if anyone know were I can get one. It struck me as odd for this site not mention this knife, why is that?

What is the diffrance between the Bob Lum that has the G-10 handle(priced at $153), and the Bob Lum Tanto with the titanium handle (priced at $173); other than the handle and price? The spec. sheet for the Bob Lum (G10) says part surraded yet you can...

My Shabaria came at noon today! it cuts better than anything i ever imagined. i immediately ran inside and tried shaving with it. the micarta and vg-10 are my new favorite materials for a knife. thank you, sal! it is the flagship of my knife collection...
