Spyderco Forums

I've got my TENTH spydie today it is stainless serrated police model ats55 bladed,without boye's locking bar,and without the lanyard hole(D'OH!) it is effective and i think is the most beautiful stainless design.Can i use it like a defensive weapon?

Which grade should I use?

Knife Knut on a shoestring budget.

I have but a few scant moments to make a decision on what may be my very next Spyderco.

I know that Clay is the Folder King ,

and that the Blue Lum is more rare than the Imperial Jade Green Lum.

What I need to know is, what do YOU think I should...

Yesterday for the first time I handled a Salsa at the shop. When I first saw photos of it online I was underwhelmed and not really interested, quite frankly. But upon handling one in person it was pretty darn impressive. Compression lock, extra-strong...

I went to the hardware store today to buy som ultra fine sandpaper for my ss rookie. I was amazing, I have almost a mirror finish handle. It worked great on clip(it had gotton ground into the cemet in a basketball game). I got the 600 grit, maybe I should...

I just received the 2002 catalog. It was quite a surprise to see the spirit of the full size Calypso folder reborn as the fixed blade Temperance ! Anyone know where they are available now?

Hi SPYDERCREW,i am very curious about you favorites knives and your carry configuration. thanx for A lot of inputs!

PS:I'm planning for a knife design(Civv gunting hybrid)which i can submit you after

Ok I have three knives that have been upgraded to a better steel IMO (The Harpy, Merlin, and Endura (FRN)).

I was wondering if I were to send these knives in could the blades be exchanged for the new ones?

If so how much would it cost?

Or should...

I hear a lot about the mouse and the Meercat, but I have never seen either of them. Does anyone have a picture? I assume the mouse has been discontinued, but is the Meercat new?

On the new Salsa, can a regular Spyderco clip be mounted, since it has what appears to be the barrel screw mount? I don't like the flimsy Q style clip. That was the main reason I sold our Q model, actually the only reason. I know that sounds silly, but on...

I just noticed, while looking through my new PDR, that the Millie and the Police models are now both available with 50/50 blades. And that's just groovy, baby .

Not that I really want one, but you know...somebody might.

This is on ebay.They say it is a first model endura but I think it looks more like a micarta worker.

Also does anyone know where I can find a cf Walker?

Jeff

Does anyone have pictures of them? Were many plainedges made?

Thanks Ray

Yes I am trying to decide which one out of over a hundred or so of my clipit's i want to put into my cage. Kinda a yes you can handle the knife~ type of display if you want to put YOUR hand in the cage. The Tarantula I have is a kinda rare jungle bread...

I have long searched for a decent knife sharpening system. In my long quest, I have found just one sharpener that will do a knife justice. This sharpener is great for PE knives, but it just doesn't work on SE toys. My brother is not YET hooked on Spyderco...

Well, here it is 7 minutes after 7 pm Friday night and the UPS still has not come. So it looks like my LTW Calypso Jr. isn't coming in today.

Those commies said that it would be here the 4th... I suppose I could settle for the 5th. But not a day...

Is there a new Police model in the works?

Here is the CF dragonfly you wanted

Hey, just got the 2002 PDR today, it's fantastic, nice pics and well put together.

But I was wondering... in the catalog it lists the Meerkat in both AUS8 and 440C... upon closer examination of the pictures I noticed one blade was straight , while the...

I think it is a meerkat but im not sure.

I was browsing through some of my old favorite web pages when I came across an up-dated page from the KnifeCenter Of The Internet web page. They have the new Salsa in blue, green, and tan for $66.95. They also have the Fixed Bladed Lum for $139.

I...

Today I had to do a speech for my Communications class on something that I was interested in. **Smiles**

To make the story short, I ended up talking about Spyderco knives. Yes, my prof didn't have a problem with me pulling out several of my Spydies!...

Here in Ohio, it tends to get cold enough in the winter that one tends to re-evaluate their clothing options. Big coats, gloves, etc.

I have realized that the usual blade clipped to the pocket isn't as accessible when you've got gloves and a 3/4 length...

is there any way to get one of the neck sheaths in the uk(for the dragonfly)

cheers

What is your dream knife? I would like a vg-10 flat ground blade, CF handle, large spyderhole, stainless steel clip, compression lock, and a Boyde lock dent.

First, happy holidays to all who read this. I hope you got the knives my girlfriend didn't buy for me..sniff..anyway, I was reading the one of a kind C Caracci@ BF, who said that lockbacks have no place in knife fights. I don't agree, but the endura comes...

Hi,

I posted a similar post in the MBC forum, but I wanted to get as many responses as possible. I own an Endura and a Delica, but was wondering if there are better choices for self-defense.

Thanks,

Hal

Sal,

Some Spydies (e.g., the steel Endura and the Vesuvius) have clips that'll convert tip-up to -down. Others have swappable left/right clips. Has any thought been given to incorporating both, for four-way clips, in models like the Delica, Endura, or...

Just a few minutes ago, I was at the store and I bought a SS harpy. What an awesome knife. I debated about whether to buy a serrated cricket or the harpy, and I decided to go with the harpy. I can't get over how sharp the tip is. I've seen hunderds of...

I once read somewhere on Bladeforums that keeping a knife in a leather sheath can damage the blade, and the catalog says that it comes with a leather sheath.

So is the damaging of the blade due to leather sheathing true, or do I have no worries?

Get this folks, this morning I'm getting some antifreeze for my car, driving home I spill coffee on my hand, hot, and after the ten minute drive home, quite sticky. I wash my hands at home and dry them, and go back out to my car to put the stuff in my...
