Does anybody know if the new Salt knives have the black coated lock bar? I'm specifically interested in the Dragonfly Salt PE. I have some Salt knives that have black coated lock bars and some that don't. As I recall, I have a Pacific Salt SE in H2 that...
I bit the bullet and bought a PM2. I really like it a lot. It’s built like a tank!
One question: it’s a little stiff to open and close. Will it break in overtime or is it worth adding a drop of oil to the pivot? It’s not as ‘flicky’ as the videos I see...
Just received my PM2 K390 and I got to say overall it was a very smooth transaction and the knife seems to be in perfect condition. I know before making my purchase, I was doing some research on the dealer and the knife itself and it seems like Bento Box...
Who here EDCs a knife that they use for small food prep tasks when they are out and about? Where I used to live it was most practical to just use my Spyderco Endura folder when the need arose. I always edc an Esee Izula fixed blade as well, but it was...
Hello everyone. I'm Mike Blue. I mostly lurk here but after a discussion with Sal, I've been asked to post this subject and collect the thoughts of everyone willing to share.
Those of you who know Sal, may or may not know that he shaved with a straight...
With the old Harpy thread being rekindled I got to thinking about a subject I've suggested in the past couple of years. And that is to consider one of Spyderco's finer Hawkbill models with a G-10 handle. I've said a few times previously that a Spyderhawk...
Is this the knife everyone really wants? Here me out. People decried it because it had such a thick blade and other complaints. However, when one looks at the specs, it has the same blade thickness, and close to the same specs as other well loved knives...
Any news on getting a new batch of Yojimbo 2 trainers in 2024? I have multiple guys who would buy both a live blade and a trainer if they could, but it feels like it's been years and they're getting tired of waiting.
I finally had the time, patience and money to put together what I have in my mind as the best all around folding hunting knife. I had to have a Shaman because of its perfect ergos and thick robust blade. S90V is my favorite steel to work with and this...
I posted this on Bladeforums a few days ago but I thought some of you might be interested in this as well. Many thanks to Larrin for doing all the hard work of testing steels and providing this data to the public. I just wanted to compile some of it in a...
I have a Spyderco Hawkbill knife in all stainless. It is 4 long closed with a blade about 2 3/4 long. There is no model number on it. Can anyone give me some info. Attached are pictures of the knife!
I recently purchased Ripp’s Garage Tech scales for my two Spyderco Shamans. The scales are the “Spyderco Shaman Skinny Tero Tuf Scale Set”, one in gray and one in OD green for my stonewash blade and my DLC blade, respectively.
First time posting. I bought a used Atlantic Salt H1 full serrated with a yellow handle. The blade is perfect and seems untouched. However, the handle seems to have seen better days. Maybe too many hours in the sun and in salt water.
I'm starting this topic for science and for better awarness about quality control at :bug-red factory.
Recently I bought genuine Shaman, regular model in S30V, from very good source, knowing about that this piece has some side to side blade play, even...
I came across this neat old Spyderco for sale, it is a 240mm Gyuto. I didn't know they ever made anything like this, I'm curious if anyone knows more about these?
Hello, I bought my first Spyderco knife yesterday, the PM2 with Cruware / Micarta, it was great and I was spidey / thumb flicking it in the parking lot after I bought it, No issues. When I got home it was super stiff and you could hear the blade dragging...
Has anyone tried adding more black to black G10 scales to make them even blacker? I have some 'Black 3.0' paint that I know can be used to dye clothing - I was thinking about using it to dye a pair of PM2 black G10 scales.
So I have very little experience with serrated edge. I have been using it since last summer with one in my back pocket almost everyday. Most of my VG-10 SE is in a Wharncliffe blade, which is why I'm asking the question.
I know it's maybe not completely fair and rational to judge the performance of a blade steel by using only one serrated Spyderco model. But the C-60 full SE CRUWEAR blade is very similar to working with a real life LASER And it sharpens up very nicely as...
I'm trying to remember when the bug...er spyder was first put on the blade.
I'm currently discussing on a different medium, an old favorite Lil Temperance that shows a bug on blade and engraving for where it is made is all different than any other blade...
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'...
Had a new Smock land at my house today. It has the new style pivot. Compared to the original the screw is much larger, stands proud of the plane of the scales and has 5 dots around the Torx center. Not sure what to think....
In August 1987, I was issued with a new Spyderco Mariner in black as my duty operational blade in my role as a tactical team member. It accompanied me on over 300 separate operations and after 3 decades upon retiring from my career, the knife...
I have seen posts on this forum about PM2 fatigue from all of the sprint runs and production models and I have also seen people jump off of their seats for exclusive pm2 drops which suggests that the pm2 is far from the end of its life. Recently we have...
Are any of you guys using your Spydercos for boating and how are you securing them? I bought a Pac 2 Salt SE to leave on my boat but wondering if I should lanyard it to my wrist or rig up a float of some kind perhaps. I could zip tie it to the helm but it...
here's a look at the tip profile & a comparison with a pe pacific salt 2 tip. this pacific salt has a thinned out edge but the tip is otherwise stock, not one of my thinned out...
