Spyderco Forums

I just got my CF Civilian today, and have been contemplating its grandeur -- both in workmanship and materials.

It is unfortunate that the implementation of highest-tech materials in optimal forms exceeds the realistic price point limits for regular...

What would you call a Spyderco appreciator that hangs out in the Spyderco forum?

I've been referring to you/us as forumites...is that the best/proper term?

maybe something with a touch of class, mature enough, but not stuffy, dynamic, but subtle....

Hello from Alaska;

I'm getting ready to buy my third Spyderco (one broken Endura Clipit clip and one lost) and I have a question about the Native Lightweight. I was looking at the Online Store and I can't tell positively from the description if the...

I have read some previous threads on this topic, but I am still not quite satisfied by the answers given, so here's my attempt.

I am interested in plaine versus serrated in the following situation:

- The knife is a folder, with a maximum 4 inch blade...

i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get a dragonfly with a carbon fiber handle? for a reasonable price.

You already know Spyderco is running a contest to help out fellow forumite John Row....

Many thanks to Eclipse who has donated his own C29S Cricket (aluminum handled) to the prize pot. What's in the pot? A C67S R folder, a copy of...

Hi everybody.

I have been reading much on the Gunting, Military, and the Chinook because these three have my eye for the CPM-440V steel and overall looks. Which is the hottest at this time? I can only purchase one, I want it to be the most sought after...

Hi,

I just purchased an '98 Endura Lightweight plain edge. I am very happy with this knife except one point, when opening, the action seems quite rough from about half way onwards. It feels like the back edge of the blade where the locking lever rides on...

A knowledgable knife lover I know told me that White Lightning is just an elaborate form of thinner. Is this true?

I need the blade thickness, 5/32 or 1/8 ?

Made in USA, Japan, Taiwan?

Seen pic of the front opened, how about a pic of the back opened?

Thank You

Damnit, I need my gunting , think Im gonna cry, waiting for the stock too arrive, learnt a couple of shortstick techniquies and would love to see how I can intergrate the Gunting into my Akido.

Gonna show it to the guys at the dojo and see if they'd be...

Yeah yeah, here it is, on bladeforums there are so many conflicting stories on the use of a blood groove I thought Id ask the man himself since Ive seen this groove on his Hornet knife, JAK can u or anyone tell me for sure what the reason behind the...

Does anybody know if and when the wenger II would come out? And if it will be offered in a 60/40 blade? Thanks.

My almite navigator with slotted handles has arrived! It hasn't gotten much use yet (being that it is only a day old), but as of now I'm very happy with it. It's a great size, perfect for what I need, and it feels great in the hand. Now I guess it's time...

Has anyone at Spyderco considered making a new version of the Rescue and incorporating features similar to those of the military? I would think that the Rescue redesigned with a G-10 handle, CPM-440V steel and the enlarged thumb hole would be the ultimate...

Hello Spyderco Knuts!

I had to sell off ALL my knives recently and because I had to, I lost interest in knives!

But, I have read soooo much about the Spyderco Chinook, I said to myself, why fight it, I gotta have one! So, I broke down and ordered me...

UPDATE-PRIZE POT GROWS!

I have an old left handed Police model which I have actually worn out after 15 years of daily use. I don't see any lefties listed in the catalog. Are any available in certain models?

Thanks,

Allan

Just saw a post in which Tim Wegner states a new design will be unvailed at Blade. Wow!!!! Anyone have any details? Will this project become reality?

Dennis Bible

Two of them, actually. First, there is a slight annoyance with my G10 Lum Tanto. Hey Sal, how about rounding off the back end? I can't get my mind straight, what's it called? The very back of the blade inside the handle. Anyways, on the Military it's nice...

does anyone have an opinion on cleaning the blade on a Spyderco with Flitz?

I spell it d-u-l-l s-p-y-d-e-r-c-o

I just received my third spyderco - a Native - and I'm very disappointed with it!!

The main problem is that there is no sharp side to the blade!!! I don't think the final bevel grinding was done. Where the usual...

was there ever a Wayne Goddard made with ss handles and if so were do you think i could get one? thanks

Hallo again Sal,

This thing always in my mind; if you don't mind, i'm wondering how the process goes for a knife that was made in japan; what i mean is do they assembeled the whole thing there or is it just the blade only were manufactured there and...

Folks and proud rescue users,

Which Rescue suites you the best? The toothy one or the plain-edged one? Your feedbacks are much appreciated!

Sam

have spydies will travel

I purchased a Spyder Card and while I like it, I would rather have something to carry in my front pocket. I've been looking at the Delica, but do all Spyderco blades come with a clip? I would rather do without one and keep the closed lengeth under 4 ....

i was wondering if anyone can tell me how much this knife might be worth. i've had it for about 5 years and i can't find it anywhere on the internet. one side of it is white mother of pearl, and it has a spider web made of turqouise. its a beautiful knife...

Ok well hope not to rub the spydiefans up the wrong way by putting a post like this up, Im a loyal spydie fan and have spent many thousands on my spydercos in under a year!!!!

But, I got my Chin which I love to death, and then searched the web for JAK's...

Ok, this is a real newbie question but I have thought long and hard and still can't figure it out. What does IWB mean? As in when someone carries their knife IWB.

Well, I went and bought the Jr. too. What can I say; I thought They belong together . Man, is this ever a beautiful knife. The edge is EXTREMELY sharp, much like a razor.

Something I thought was funny though, is that it does not have a Gold Spyder on...

To ALL :

In a previous forum I stated

I was on my second Spydie ( Calypso Jr.)

This was an error ; I also own a

Spydercard ( partial serrations ). tomorrow

I plan to aquire a Centofante C25GP.

Fow quite a while I've been dubious about titanium for linerlocks, always prefering steel for its strength and higher wear resistance for that application.

But in thinking about it I realized that titanium might offer quite an advantage for compression...

A strange dark stain has developed around the Round Hole of my AUS-10 Native blade. Does anybody know what I can use to get it off? I've tried Super Lube with PTFE with no luck.

Native, Harpy, Lum Tanto

I've heard that Spyderco already has its G-10 laminates tailor made for its use, and this idea goes more towards Spyderco's regular G10 knives, than to future F1 series clipits.

As we know epoxy laminates can be made all with one structural material,...

Hello fellers,

I have 2 used native Robert Terzola folders, One is full size, the other is smaller, but same design,with ats34 half serated blades.

Are these rare spyderco knives? Thanks

Of all the Spyderco models, which one is by far the most saleable?

Of course, we are going by the sale figures. Is that a company secret?

Personally, I would have thought that it would be the Endura, since it is one of the earliest models.

Does anyone know how long ago these HK knives were made and what they were selling for the blade was skeletonized with the HK logo on it any help would be appreciated
