After searching Forum archives on S90V steel I have come up with 2 attributes. One, it is hard to sharpen. Two, it holds an edge. In my experience, if you have diamond rods for your SharpMaker, S90V is NOT hard to sharpen. What really surprised me was...

Hi, new member to the forum and have a quick question...

I've carried a Delica 4 for many years, along with a few Benchmades, and am looking to add to my (very) small collection.
I really like the side locking action on some of the knives I have, so...

Post about your sharpenings. Brand, grit, abrasives, grit progression, desired edge finish, decision making in sharpening, whatever you want. Might be interesting to see what people use for certain tasks, and will give insight into the results of others'...

… on my ear!

Yep. Just like the gag where someone gets a phone call whilst ironing laundry, I am that guy! , now sporting a cut ear because I was fiddling with my Ikuchi when answering the phone.

No, I am not going to post a photo, but do feel free...

Hi everyone. I'm not the most experienced when it comes to exotic steels like Maxement for instance. I'd be interested to hear what steels everyone around here likes.

Well, it finally happened to me, I broke a knife. I was pressing down on some soft Braunschweiger and *ting* the Z-cut snapped at the hole. If these are going to be run so hard, then it's best to avoid putting the hole in the blade. I'll not be replacing...

I have an interest in some new Lil Matriarchs.

In no particular order,

PE and SE K390 Full Flat Grind if possible.
Lil Matriarch Salt (H1, LC200N, or Magnacut)
Emerson Wave Lil Matriarch

Anyone else share my desire for more iterations of this...

No ETA so far.

Go get'em boys 🤣

Hey All!

There are times when I have to cut through substantial amounts of packing tape to open and break down boxes/packages.
The adhesive and bits of tape gunk up the edge and blade pretty quickly making it get progressively more difficult to cut....

Rules:

1. It has to be based on an existing model, current or historical. Anything from the C01 Worker onwards.

2. You can designate the materials, including blade steels and handle materials/inlays.

3. You can designate the grind type and...

Pardon me if this topic was recently explored. I searched.

I recently bought one too many M4 Shamans. I am considering returning one, or perhaps making it a safe-queen, not sure.

I notice though, that just the tiniest bit of oil from my hands (even...

My cousin is negotiating on this etched Rookie. Said to be etched by a Spyderco employee.
So now I'm interested in any info about this and other models laser etched. :cheap-sunglasses

I just finished chopping up a bunch of strawberries with my S110V Military.

How about you? What was your Spydie's last chore?

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well.

Every time I see this knife I want to get one. I’m wondering if you all feel the same way. If you do maybe Spyderco...

Most of us are owning more then one knife and watch.Lets see the combo you realy love.
For me is the D4 and classic G Shock.
P.S.for the lucky ones who are enjoying the 2nd amendment from the most great Constitution on this planet- feel free to add your...

Quick and practically speaking totally irrelevant question:

- Does the phosphor bronze alloy of (Spydercos) washers technically count as a metal or not?

- Bronze alone IS a metal of course
- Phosphor alone is NOT
- But what about the alloy of...

I really like Spyderco's texturing on their FRN. On knives with 2.75 and larger blades I love the bi-directional texturing. That stuff really anchors a knife into my hands and it is not harsh and it does not create hotspots for me.

However, on smaller...

I wonder when the Lil Native LW will be released? I hope it is in the new Reveal.

Any thoughts on this knife? I like the idea of it having much thinner blade stock. I hope it is thin enough behind the edge.

Are there examples of the Spyderco Wolfspyder at the Spyderco BLADE show booth?

Last couple of years I have meant to ask but get distracted and forget.

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...

This is a continuation of RamZar's amazing list! The bar was set Very high and I'll try not to mess it up too badly! Thanks RamZar!

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if you use the forward fingerchoil on your para's. I do not use it on the PM2 but do on the para 3. What are the intentions of the design? What are your thoughts?

I've got a pre-order in at Knife Center and was going to give a few as gifts this year. Is 2022 still a possibility?

Anyone have both a Bob Lum and an Astute?

I've never owned a Lum Chinese Folver, but I do have an Astute. It's one of my favorite knives, but what few gripes I do have with it seem to be answered with the Lum. Less belly, no thumb ramp, maybe a bit of...

Can anyone give me a measurement for the blue and red lines? I’m sure it will be pushing 4 inches which is my state’s legal limit. Thanks in advance!

Pull out your camera and dig through your collection!

Although I’ve been a Spyderco fan for years, I’m just now getting to the point where I plan on breaking down and cleaning my knives. I watched Eric Glesser’s (super helpful) video about maintaining the Shaman, and had a question for the more seasoned...

Hello all, I carry a Manix 2 in S30V. I live on a farm, Hunt, clean game, fish, camp. I am wanting to buy a para 2. I’m always using my knife for something. This time I would like to improve on the blade with this purchase from the S30V. Edge retention...

Based on my curiosity about reducing the blade length on another knife I experimented with changing the profile of the spine on my 20CV Delica Wharncliffe. I am actually pleased with the results. Pro tip to anyone looking to mod a blade by hand with no...

Sometimes you want to post something Spydie related or SpydieForum related but don't want to create a whole new thread or anything...

Well this is the place! A general chat of the General Discussion forum; if you're new say hey . No way to derail this...

Sorry if this is an oft repeated topic. My search didn't turn up much..

So my Tenacious had a screw back out and get lost somewhere. How can I get a new one? I don't really want to send the whole knife in for warranty. Is there a simpler solution?
