A slight dilema is occuring. My sister's boyriend's birthday is August the 27, and I want to buy him a knife. He uses a fake spydie knock-off ( very dull, lots of bade play, and the lock fals while cutting cardboard), and I want to buy him a real...

How does one go about joining the Spyderco collectors club, and what do the benefits include?

Thanks,

Frank

I know I want a Military or a Wegner but I can't deside. What steal is better ATS-34 or CPM440V? What knife feels better built and opens smoother? Does it matter if the Military does not have liners? Thanx guys.

BRAM, I heard you will be at MILIPOL 2001 in PARIS.

Could you confirm and give us the date please.

I just recently was at the coast with my military and native. I noticed that they both rusted while perfoming dailly task. While my Dads delica(a-6)seemed like you could not force it to rust. Is this normal? The rust was not enough to damage the blade,...

I'm considering a Shabaria... but I'm curious what those of you who have them think. I have moderatly long fingers if that matters...

Love? Lust? One night stand?

What is the public reaction like?

Thanks!

I recently sent in my Cricket for

polishing, sharpening, etc. I've been with-

-out it for a week and am lost ; I

have been carrying a Fury knockoff on

a keychain and things aren't just the

same. I did today 08/06/01 receive my

U.P.S....

I figure on buying one this week and was wondering, which is better steel wise. The navigator is GIN-1 while the dragonfly is in either ATS-55 or AUS-8. Which is better in your opinion? I'm taking about edge retention, rusting, hardness, and the likes....

I was cutting boxes in the back and noticed an air vent in the 12' ceiling coming loose. Trying to fix it by pushing it back up IS NOT a good idea. The grate came crashing down and opened a nice gash, with the corner, on my left thumb. About 1/2 x1/4 ,...

The Aug.2001 'MAXIM' magazine has a brief & favorable review of the SpydeRench multitool on page 197.THought I'd pass the word FYI.

I was wondering if anyone has seen an engraved almite knife handle. Seems to me that this would look nice since the silver aluminum underneath would be exposed when the almite coating was removed during engraving. Would this work? Would bare aluminum stay...

I don't know if this was suggested (and probably laughed at) before but I would like a SpyderComb--a folder with a metal comb opened with a Spydie hole. Naturally, it would also come with a reversible clip. Any comments? I remember aluminum combs being...

Hi guys, Chamber came up with what I reckon was and is a brilliant idea for the Spyderco site, and that is having a Spyderco chatroom where we could join and chat about whats on our minds conserning blades.

It would be a help to those who have questions...

I want a Lynx.......

Hi sorry to bother you guys.

Its about the Aus-8 Spyderco Ladybug that I purchased for my buddys birthday.

My buddy is/was a LEO who was shot on duty a while back, his now at a resort seeking theropy and loves this lill knife.

I paid him a visit...

You Know this man. My Girl went to the store and bought me the Lum. This knife is awesome It has the smothest action and I must say it is in my opinion the best lookin' spidi yet. I have six in all but this dude who made this knife is on the money . Hope...

When will some of the older knives (like the Military) get compression locks?

I'll be going to the MBC classes in Aug. And, I had a couple questions.

1) What should I wear, workout or street cloths?

2) Do we get to pick blade edge(Spydie,Stright,Combo) for the live blade?

3) I've read the course outline post here. Do we get...

Hunting season is just around the corner and what better reason to get a new spyderco.

But which one.I am in chaos between the wegner,moran featherweight,droppoint or maybe the little mouse.It's going to be a hunting knife.The chinook performed...

Anyone else have one of these? I just got one and love it. I had an Endura many (ok I'm 23 and I think it was 8 years LOL) years ago and it was serrated, forgot how much I loved this knife! So, this one I have now is plain edged and has an AUS8 blade. I'm...

Which is the better steel (in terms of hardness, edge-retention, sharpening, etc.)?

Hi gang,

I'm thinking about buying a 204 Sharpmaker but I have a question or two.

In looking at the current Spyderco dealer catalog, I see where the ceramic stones are tri-angle shaped. I can see where you use the flat surface for sharpening plain...

The UPS man came to my house today while I was away, so I got a surprise when I got home. I ripped open the huge box and uncovered my SS Endura 2 plain edge first. It is alot bigger then I thought, but fits my hand better then my old Delica, and its edge...

Last year, I had the chance to meet BRAM FRANK at the Paris Knife Show and due to his convincing demonstration I am now the owner of Gunting Nr 287.

My question is : Will I meet one of you this year (29/09 and 30/09) ?

Any chance to meet some...

I just got my plain edged military today. I hadn't been able to find a store in the area that had one so I haven't handled it before. All I can say is wow. I was wondering how most of you sharpen yours. It is cpm440v. Do you use the medium or fine stones,...

Hello to all

I have learned much from all of you in the past couple of weeks about my favorite Spyderco knives

I have heard mention of in this forum and others about a knife with two Civilian blades that is more of a showcase item, fantasy knife if you...

If you carry your clip-it in your pocket and the clip is visible, is your knife considered concealed or not? Just wondering. I know laws vary from state to state city to city just wondered if the knife is considered concealed if you can still see the clip.

I am back from Mexico, the fishing was slow while I was down there, but I still managed to pull forth a 45 pound dorado and a 15 pound cuda form the crystal blue depths. We missed a couple billfish, but thats fishing.

Just recently found my Triangle Sharpmaker 204MF but lost the instruction book. Anybody got info on how to use it or how I can get a manual?

I purchased a Ladybug the other day from a local dealer and had a question about it. On the Products page, the Ladybug blade is shown as 1 and 5/16ths inches long. However, my trusty ruler shows the blade to be 1 and 11/16ths or 1 and 5/8ths depending on...

Hi guys, for all of those out there that own a T01 SpyderWrench what do you guys think of them, how they hold up, and how good are they for the chores you put them to?.

I use Multitools like its going out of fashion, the work I do requires something...

I've had my eye on spyderco knives for awhile, yet I always managed to get some cheap knock-off. After visiting this site I decided to check a local dealer, and I bought my first spyderco! Although it wasn't what I was looking for (An Endura) I found a...

Hey to everyone in the Spyderco communauty! I am after a drawing of the so beautiful Japanese warriors' cross that Howard Viele uses as his logo on his blades... Can anyone help? TIA!!!
