Spyderco Forums

To be honest, I don't own that many power tools, but I must say that the Dremel multi-tool is my favorite by far. I've used it for countless projects, both around the house and for hobbies.

With my knives, I have used it to shine up my SS dragonfly...

Just wondering if it's all in my head , but do any of you also worry about a smaller knife clipped to your front pocket falling out?

It feels sometimes like say a Navigator for example sits too high for me to be comfortable carrying it there.

I tend to...

Folks,

Is it just me or can you also seem to get VG-10 sharper on the sharpmaker. I have sharpened a Benchmade 705 with 154 and my new Navigator with VG-10 and the Nav seems to me to be a whole bunch sharper. I'm not sayin it ain't operator error cause...

Saw an ATR photo recently.

One question.

What for is this envidement on the swedge?

Thanks beforehand!

Can the spyderco saw be sharpend?

thanks.

which do you think is better?

steel is unforgiving... sharp steel even more so

I've been using my 204 to sharpen my navigator P/E for almost 2 weeks now. I've gotten the blade sharp enough to shave hair, but I can't seem to get the tip sharp. Does anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Hold on before you bash it!

I know that WD-40 apparently gunks up a lot, and gets dirty... but I only have one knife which I will open and close a lot, and I like how WD-40 can spray accuratly to shoot out dirt. Plus, so far it's worked really...

Hi guys,

Spyderco has produced 250 samples of a new experimental Sashimi kitchen knife, traditionally known as a yanagi. It has a 7 blade of AU-8W, which is flat ground rather than chisel ground. Traditional wooden handle. About 12 1/4 overall....

Looking for a kydex neck sheath for a Calypso JR.

When coloring titanium is the same process used when coloring aluminum? (I assume not.) Please explain the differences. Also are there any benefits to the titanium, besides color?

Some laws permit, what honor dose not.

I know the Civvie is scheduled to receive an improved steel (VG-10), but the area I'd like to see upgraded is the lock. The nested liner-lock is a brilliant design; I love it in my Millie.

However, when I asked earlier about a potential upgrade with a...

I have found one I got to get so I have a couple up for sell over at knife forums if any of you are interested.Thanks

I just got word from my Spydie Djinni that there will be a 30 to 60 day delay on my Gunting and Milie PE. Is this due to the change in blade steel? Or just part of he normal process.

Its on ebay with a buy it now of 85.00.G10 scales.

When did the Experimental become the Navigator...or vice versa? I have an Almite/ VG10 Navi and a G10/Gin1 Exp. Great little cutters.

Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness? Artemus Ward (Charles Farrar Browne)

I have recently become the proud owner of a 50/50 SS Police MD and was wondering... the tip appears to be very delicate, beyond my doing something stupid, which is not outside the realm of possability, has anyone had point chipping (I donot know if this...

I need to know if there are any places where I could still get a Q or the H&K version of the Q?

I recently received a VG10 Endura SE to replace my faulty FRN Calypso Jr. PE and just had to post about my rejuvenated amazement with this serious cutting machine.

It is my second Endura, with full Edge, although my first didn't really see much use....

Well friends, the title sais it all. Just came my beautiful Shabaria (many thanks to Fredswartz for making it happen)

It has a lot of personality, this knife. Operates soo smoothly and it cuts like ****.

And despite the peculiar shape of the handles,...

I don't understand the purpose of the civilian blade. What does it offer than a regular police blade doesn't? The tip looks like it would be very easy to break.

Sal have you noticed all the new interest in G10 Natives?How about a new 500 run.I would love to see a dark desert tan G10 Native or a O.D. G10 Native.Take a look in clothing stores,those colors are hot right now.PLLLEEAAASSSSSSE.

My Word, My Honour, is my Life.

I,ve never handled one of these. Whats your opinion on this animal? I've also never had a blade of AUS-10 Hows this compare to say GIN-1,ATS-34, etc....

I ordered one (SS-PE). Its on its way and I've heard alot about the FRNs, just curious about the...

I know another steel question......but I'm hoping to get something cleared up. In Spyderco's add for the SS Delica the ad reads The hollow-ground modified skinning-style blade is made of AUS-6 which is loaded with a carbon level of around 1% for advanced...

When was the Salsa first introduced?

How does the Titanium Spyderco compare to the aluminum ones?

Does the titanium model weigh more or less then the aluminum one?

I have the blue salsa and was looking at getting a titanium one.

Thanks,...

What is the best way to polsh my SS D'fly myself? I have not had it very long and it is my first SS Spyderco. I was wondering the best way to do it.

I have an opportunity to get my hands on a plain edged Starmate. In return I would be trading my fully serrated Military knife. Is this a decent trade or should I say no to this. Help on this one

a guy at work turned up with a c.r.k.t knife , and it made me painfuly ashamed of my delica frn pe knife! anyone know about these knives?

I thought some of you may be interested in this.Like new 45.00

Does a collector's number add value to a Spydie or reduce it's value? I'm not that familiar with the program and it's perceived benefits to knife valuation.

There seems to be a buttload of Spyderco Native models for sale on ebay with 1st Generation BRK printed on the blade.

Does anyone know the history of this model? There must gave been a gazillion of them made.

Well the PE Shabaria is in hand... and all I can say is WOW. Just to show me who's boss, it cut me within 15 seconds of taking it out of the box. This is the coolest thing next to a Civilian! The photo posed on the Arkansas stone is a joke, that thing is...

Ordered one of these out of curiosity since I had never seen one (have since gotten one with a Civilian from a friend). This is the only use that I can find for it.
