I have both. It's a constant struggle to decide which to carry.

I am now carrying the Cricket at the office, because it's a bit smaller, and the Dragonfly on weekends.

For those of you who have both the Cricket and Dragonfly, how have you resolved...

Folks,

Wegner week - part one: Yesterday I finally connected with the Whitetail I've been pursuing for several days afield, and got to try out my new Wegner C48 as a field dressing tool. I can only think of one perfect word to describe it's usefulness...

Just a quirky thing that happened today.

I was down giving blood today and whilst lying on the bed I couldn't help but notice the nurse seeing to the needle in my arm kept giving me funny looks. First she would stare strangly at my arm, then give me...

Hello Fellow Spydie Folks,

Can anyone tell me if a plain-edged Q was ever produced? If so, are they as rare as a white elephant ?

Thanks.

Hope for the best. Be prepared for the worst. You'll never be disappointed.

Since this is my 500th post (not counting all those that didn't register ) I thought I'd better start a thread with it .

The Chinese Folder is my absolute, no contest, up there on a pedestal favourite Spydie. It's the one I have to stop to admire every...

SpyderFolks,

Has anyone had a shopping experience with this store?

Their prices are so low, I am just wondering if anyone has anything to say about them, and if they are reliable.

Thanks.

Yet another hairbrained monocoque handle idea:

We talked before about the possibility of creating a semi-monocoque from two molded laminate half-shells permanently bonded together.

Mr. Janich & other experienced knife-flickers,

I've been working on inertia (inertial?) openings recently. I've noticed that sometimes my grip on the handle can squeeze the scales together enough to affect the swing of the blade (d/t increased...

Hi gang,

With Christmas coming, wife is asking for gift ideas. I want to get a 204 sharpener, but can't remember when Sal said the diamond sleeves will be available. Also can't remember if they will come with the set or if they must be purchased as an...

Sal,

I dont' know how long ago this was, but I remember seeing a Spyderco proto of the Szabo UUK. Am I mistaken or is this a knife that we are to be expecting soon? I hope it's a UUK with around a 3.5 inch blade with a compression lock. That would be...

Hi all,

Just found this forum yesterday, very informative.

I've had Spyderco knives for the past 11 years (started with a PE Endura), and just recently picked up a SpyderCard, among others...

Has anyone with a SpyderCard seen or purchased a SOG...

Is there an official name for the grip enhancing, tooled grooves found on a lot of Spyderco knives on the back of the blade, just aft of the Spyder Hole?

Whatever you call those notches,

will the new Renegade and Blackhawk have those features?

Hi folks,

For my next knife I am looking at either the Police, Rookie or either Endura/Delica all in SS with plain edge.

Has the blade quality been sacrificed in...

I just picked up a Spyderco Forum 2000 Military, with the Spydie inlay. I've noticed that the inlay has a crack thru it. I'm told that it is common and is an effect of the inlay process.

Anyone have any info on this?

Sal,

I own live gunting n°287, and I am happy with the shiny clip, as I use skunkwork sheath. But I understand the need for a less visible clip. I hate black clips used on gunting, I just cannot bear them.

By the way, I had the chance to handle the blue...
