Announcing the 2024 OpFocus Factory Seconds Sale!
Sunday, June 23rd, 2024, 9 am - 3 pm (MDT)
This is an opportunity for qualified personnel to purchase Spyderco factory seconds, closeout items, and other select products at incredible discounts,...
As I've been promising for some time now, I've decided to start a thread outlining the different varieties of the Spyderco Model C09 CoPilot (both production varieties and after-market embellished versions). This thread will be a work in progress and I...
I’m really happy to add another knife to my collection today. My PM2 in SV45N rapidly became my favorite knife when I got it last summer. When I saw the PM2 Salt version with Magnacut blade, I just had to get one. I won’t bore you with pics,...
i, I wonder if you could possibly help? I’ve loved Spydies for at least 30 years but only bought three for myself in this time because managed to keep them safe! This one has been my daily carry for maybe 20 years; or 18? No real idea. Never sharpened but...
Bought a Spyderco Manbug Salt in August ´22 here in Germany.
After receiving it, I only tested the mechanism shortly and cut a few ropes, which worked reeeeally great for the small knife.
Then stowed it in my PFD where it has lived almost unused ever...
Lost my Military 2 3 days ago. Found out when i undressed at night. The Military 2 had pushed my other Spydies out of my pocket.
I have been feeling sad since then. Because i live in Belgium the knife is pretty expensive and i´m a nurse so money isn´t...
For me, i think it is. Well, maybe receiving the first Siren and Waterway topped this but nothing else! I haven’t felt this kind of excitement over a new knife in YEARS!
I’ll offer some very brief initial observations on both knives.
I’m sorry but in my opinion these prices are getting a little too high. Spyderco is one of the best and they have to make a profit. However when the Chinese s35 tenacious is going for $120 I think that’s a little much. In 2018 I bought my DLC PM2 for...
I haven't heard anything from Spyderco about when the OpFocus seconds sale will be this year. It seems like it is generally the first or second Sunday in May? In years past it looks like it has been announced in March but there haven't been any...
I’ve been absolutely blown away by how excellent the Jumpmaster 2 SE is at work, so I’ve started looking to see if I can find a larger H1/H2 fixed blade for use in place of my machetes and parang that I hack really thick but soft materials up with (think...
There is a copy of the compression lock new on the market. From China. I don't know if it is patented, but figure y'all should know. It's basically a copy of the Smock.
Just throwing this out there. There's been 2 iteration of the Para 3 with Cruwear, but none in CruCarta. Why hasn't someone (*cough* DLT) ever ordered one up as a sprint? My 2 favorite patterns these days are the Native and the Caly but a close 3rd is the...
So wanted to hear some input on this. I’ve been completely enamored with the Stretch XL since I first saw the prototype at the Blade show a few years ago. Wonderful design and IMHO a more refined design than any of the previous Stretches. I didn’t need...
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...
Has anyone bead blasted their G10 scales? I wanted to change the color of some black tenacious scales, so had friend bead blast them.
Haven't got them back yet but he sent a pic of the results.
Wondering if it will take a RIT dye now.
New guy here. I have been a fan of the sage series for a long time and have been collecting them for years. I just ordered the last knife I was missing for this collection.
What do you all think will be the next knife in this series...
Hi All,
I recently picked up 2 Ladybugs second hand and noticed the markings on them are different. I’m hoping someone here can help confirm they are genuine. And, if they both are, what generations they might be. The grey one is a pinned version and the...
Hey guys, I'm looking for a knife that's great for fileting, deboning fish and these types of tasks and while looking at the Ikuchi I hthought this would be trhe perfect knife to have for such tasks.
The blade length is not too shirt, but what cought my...
I haven't been on this forum much for a while and very honestly it was because the S90V para 3 Lightweight had become my one and done knife. I had found my perfect edc knife so I didn't really feel as much need to learn and talk about knives.
Greetings, friends!There was another question about Civilian.What is the full angle in degrees of sharpening of this knife?Is the sharpening V-shaped or one-sided? I want to sharpen the knife to a mirror shine )I have a Tri-Angle with ceramic rods.I saw...
Just got my monthly email from tactical elements. They have some rare Spydies.
Two Spot neck knives, two vintage clip it Delicas, a gunting trainer, and a salsa with a collector # (why I didn't get it).
I wish Spyderco would send a YouTuber one of these to film a tutorial. Has it been a year since it came out? The method they describe in the manual seems designed to cut your off-hand when you switch sides, so I switch holding the knife between right and...
Curious to hear if anyone else is up for a Resilience in CPM-M4?
I'm up for at least a pair. The M4 Tenacious has a wonderfully thin grind behind-the-edge, and has been a joy to use, without having to modify. M4 is a killer steel, to boot, and surely...
Seki FRN lockbacks (Endura, delica, endela, stretch 2lw, ect..) are my favorite spyderco models, the combo of comfortable handles and great cutting geometry really works well for me. However most of mine have lock rock when really bearing down on a...
Sal has mentioned many times the past experience with S60V/440V and the steel not being able to achieve a useable high working hardness and also being miserable to sharpen at lower hardness.
It seems with CPM S60V, things have changed in recent years...
I noticed a little bit of rust underneath the scale on my H2 Dragonfly salt, so I decided to take it apart and see how bad it was. I saw that the back lock has several spots of rust on it. This knife hasn’t been exposed to any chemicals and it’s only been...
What are the Spyderco CTS XHP knives? I recently pulled out my Bowie and so enjoyed using it. With all the new steels out there I kind forgot about it.
I read it likes a polish, going to try that.😀
I purchased the stretch XL H2 SE when DACK had it for $75 on a whim. I’m glad I did as I now understand what all the fuss is about with the SE and the model. There is a lot of blade for the handle size. I’m a plain edge kind of guy, but the SE blade seems...
I usually touch on this subject at least once a year. And we've gotten some really interesting results as to the models that folks would love to have in FULL SE. After all Spyderco really made their name and put themselves on the map by producing arguably...
Still, whenever I use my Chap FRN I wish there would be a longer version of it, or just any model in the Endela / Stretch size with both such a thin, slicey ffg blade (2mm) and such a thin handle and by that...
