What is the hardest most knife unfriendly thing you have cut with the spyderedge?

Ok, I've got time on my hands for a bit, until I'm working again.

What do you think traction grooves would be like on the back side of the ramp? 4 or 5 of them, put in by dremel. I've been thinking about it as a way to prevent sliding up when using the...

I recently acquired a Worker with G-2 steel and I have just a few questions.

-When does the G-2 model fall in the model progression of the Worker?

-Where does G-2 fall in relation to other steels (AUS-8, ATS-34, VG-10)?

-What was the original retail...

ok guys. i promise i wont bother you again about this. is blade play really a bad thing? does it weaken the knife?

I'll be buying a knife for april 19th. Been looking for a little over a week for a good slipjoint. I've found some in the 20USD range, from cammilus.

I can spend 2x that, and get a SS cricket for my bday though. Get an extra month of carry too.

What...

I know this might sound a bit paranoid, and I am new to the board, but I am in Michigan and considering buying a Native, which is only 3 1/8 blade length. Michigan law puts the carry blade length limit at 3 . Is the Native still technically legal to...

I would like to ask the opinion of the forum members about the following Spyderco's; Centofante C50GS, Zowado C56P, and Viele C42.

Also Thanks to the members who provided the information regarding the Chinook and the Zowada.

I have 2 knives coming up here for me for my bday. An FB03 Lum Tanto from DDM_Reaper of spyderco.com forums & a SS Cricket from Java of both BFC and spyderco.com. My 19th Bday is on the 21st, and I just quit my job 2300hrs Sunday March 09. No real income...

Well I took one of them on a trade.I got to admit if you spend about an hour and a half on it deburring polishing and sharpening it is probably worth 20.00.I am not sure if I will keep it as a beater or sell it at work.

I learn something new...

Spring break is a week and a half away and I already know what I am going to be doing, making a knife for a buddy in afghanistan. He is a blackhawk mechanic and is on every mission the crew flies. I am going to be following the basic idea behind the ronin...

After helping a friend do a Japanese weapons demonstration recently, I have once again been bitten by the sword bug. I already own a katana, but the handle is a bit short and the balance is a bit off for my liking. I had intended on making a new weighted...

New guy here, so please forgive my ignorance, but how do you post those little icons (smilies, spyderbugs, etc.)?

Hey all,got a few weird questions y'all might be able to answer. Things I've just been wondering about.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What's going on with delivery of the new models? My local dealer went to SHOT and ordered a coupla Ronin's (for yours truly) and has already started *****ing about them not coming in. Now I'm a patient person and I don't think it's been an excessive wait...

Does anyone have any thoughts, comments or recommendations about kitchen spydies. Hey if I carry on or two spydies with me everywhere I go, I should probably check out one for any KP duties!

How does a carbon fiber handle hold up for EDC? Also, could my fellow forumites keep their eyes peeled as to where I could possible acquire a CF Dragonfly? Thanks in advance.

I picked up a Reverse S SpyderEdge MeerKat today at my local dealer.

I'm new to the MBC world. I am planning to take the classes in July at the factory. I recently saw the SPOT in the catalogue and wondered if there was any information on its use. Are there any books or movies or classes to learn how to use it properly?...

Just finished reading The Spyderco Story by Kenneth T. Delavigne. I purchased it from a BladeForums member at a great price.

This book is a definite must read for any Spyderco fan. Lots of info on the knives and company philosophy.

Ok the bug bit again. I was looking at a FRN native at Bass Pro Shop, I figured it was 440v but when I saw it was S30V I had to buy it the only problem is it is serrated and I've never had one of these. The question is, when I need to sharpen it (right...
