Spyderco Forums

I just reversed the clip on my Rookie. Do you ever strip the screws on your knife? I've had that problem with the middle screw. The tip-up carry is alot better than tip-down. But is does look a strange. Does put lucite on the screws? It seems like they...

I have one, and was wondering if they are still making them?

Thanks Ray

Ok everone can laugh if you want but this poped into my head tonight at work.Tell me if it is a dumb idea.The scales of the dragonfly or the delica are FRN.The Photon lights case is FRN.So take the scale for one of these spydies and mold a Photon onto the...

As I am not regularily reading this board, only hopping in from time to time, I wanted to read back on some topics in the MBC forum. I changed the Show topics from last day to ..last 10 days , hit go ... and ended up in the General forum. Hmm? My fault,...

What kind of should I get for my Dad? I was thinking about getting a Card with engraving. Also thinking about a D-fly. Spyderholic, Do you still have the free engraving for spydercards?

In the land of knives, Spyderco is KING!

Just got a visit from the ever-popular brown van. This was a 16-oz can of Ballistol lube. It works really well, but the smell... Smells like... It's undescribable, just not incredibly pleasant IMO. I can definitely learn to live with it, but it would be...

I'm at work today, and 3 knife carriers are among us. a cop walks in, and I ask him so what's the legal limit for carry here? he turns to his partner, who says i dunno, ah..3 inches yeah, anything bigger than that is just overkill is the response. yeak,...

Samo and everyone,

Yesterday I received my two blue Photons. El Hombre was fascinated at how much light comes out of the little thing! I put mine on the chain along with the Mini-Police necklace, and it makes a good duo (while I get a Ladybug and/or a...

Over my years of bladesmithing I have observed a problem reoccuring that hurts the free flow of information. The problem is that occassionally pattern, design or material technology is often credited to the people whom get published first, not necessarily...

Hi,Im new to this board and from what ive seen im really impressed.

I started buying higher priced knives just this year so i started out with a Gerber Covert Folder and what a hunk of junk,So as always i thought that if i spent more i would get...

So, what do they have in common?

I've got areas of ignorance and a few questions regarding all three...*L*

First off is that Balisongs seem to be a pretty hot item especially lately, between the BM's, MT Tachyon, the talk of a Spydie Balisong,...

to rase a question out there, why would anyone spend 80 dollars on a light wt. when they can find the G-10 disscontinued model for less? just like my G-10 harpy and late merlin.... I payed 71.00 for my merlin, and my friend got my harpy for 65!!! crazy,...

Hey guys,

Relatively new to the forum, but I have a quick question. Was wondering, now that the Salsa has hit the streets for a while, what do you guys think of it?

and if I were to purchase, should I go for the Ti version or will the aluminum...

Where is the schedule at. Can someone put a link up for it?

Thanks,

Fred

They are serrated,red checkered handles with white spyderco logos.

I learned in my youth to be careful

with knives ; I had a rather painful

lesson last night trying to open an

adult proof ( kids can get into them easily ) with my C 29BK Cricket , the blade slipped and I cut my left ring

finger ! Wow, is...

Hi, Mr. Janich--

In a couple of your recent posts you've mentioned carrying a balisong. I'm curious about why that was your tool of choice, and/or your take on the pros and cons of this style of knife for personal protection (other than...

Before anyone takes this the wrong way, I am NOT trying to insult Mr. Keating. What is a Master at Arms? and why is he the only one I've ever heard of? Really, this is not mean- spirited, just curious.

In one corner we have Linerlock. In the other corner we have Lockback. Which one will win? What is your favorite?

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

Just wanted to thank you again M.J. for the intstruction at the recent MBC course. I was suprised how a lot of it came back to me. I believe it has a lot to do with the design of the course and the common sense approach you take in presenting it. Really...

Fellow Spydernuts,

I would like to pay tribute to Mike Sastre of River City Sheaths. This AWESOME dude makes the most AWESOME neck sheaths I'd ever came across! I've packed em all over the world and there's nothing bad I can say about them sheaths...

There's a Spyderco Rescue w/ stainless handles for sale on eBay at

Was such a model ever produced with stainless steel handles?

thanks. bye.

Well my blue Centofante finally arrived (actually it came about 10 days ago but I've been too busy to post ). It was shipped before Christmas but the dealer sent it by uninsured surface mail instead of the insured airmail I asked for and charged me CAN$33...

Took a look at a CF Civvie (They have em at Bestknives.com for $200, JIC anyone's looking for one), and I noticed that when the knife is closed, the part of the blade visible in the profile makes the blade look smaller, and the curveback of the reverse S...

Did some searching, and found a site that may have a full-size Micarta Calypso Plainedge. Looks great, like an Endura with a finger choil. It's a little expensive, so I wanted to know what you guys throught of this old knife. BTW, I love my Calypso Jr....

Anyone have any information about these things. I have one in my safe. I got it so long ago that Steve Martin was still with the company. It doesn't even have a serial number, just a certificate certifying it as a prototype. Any information would be...

Just got my new Endura lightweight... Good lord, that's a lot of folder. I'm used to the Native and Calypso Jr, so this is a big knife in my book.

One thing that threw me was Spyderco's advertisement of a flat grind on the 2002. I was expecting a grind...

I saw another post on this site where a fellow asked about turning in ideas to Spyderco on knife design.Is it a bad idea to discuss potentially marketable knive constructs on this forum? Would Spyderco lose any benefit due to this being a public forum?...

Believe it or not, with all the interest in the Rescue knives lately, it will be either the Rescue or the Rescue jr. in orange, but my question the my fellow knifeaholics is, which do you think is the better choice?

Rescue SR, or Rescue JR?

A knife...

Gunting Plain Edge or Leaf Blade Lil'Temperance??

I am leaning towards the Lil' Temperance right now...

OR both B-)

right i'm in an internet cafe and i'm agonising over what to buy from the knifeshop up the road... they have a bob lum tanto with titanium handle for 304.45 euros which equates to £185, is that a good price?? i've never seen one for sale before on the...

I was over at Country Knives in Lancaster County looking over their marvelous selection of Spydes. No, they don't have the Lil Temperence with the leaf blade; only the upswept blade. When examining the Gunting, I noticed the liner lock released by...

I've been looking to buy the Blue Lum Chinese Folder. Almost everyone has the green models but not the blue handle models. Anyone know where I can buy one over the internet or phone mail order?

TIA, Deac
