Spyderco Forums

I’m currently borrowing/sharpening my grandfather’s Ladybug 1 he’s had since 1997. After using it for a few days I’m really seeing the utility such a small knife presents (especially as a complimentary blade) and I’m now looking for something similar....

What say ye?

I am somehow getting really attracted to the Para 3 LW, but being one that appreciates cool steels and colorful handles, I am wondering what Sprint and Exclusive runs may be in the pipeline. We have so far seen 20CV in blue and Rex 45 in burned orange...

California is a total mess with homelessness and it really reflects everywhere you go. A few weeks ago a transient was clearly just looking for an easy target to beat up. Luckily I was not alone so he changed his mind, nor was he armed, but reports on the...

Hey y'all,

I couldn't let the news of a hollow-ground maybe-K390 delica go by uncelebrated. This is now easily my most anticipated knife. Like many of you, over the course of my knife collecting journey, my tastes have evolved towards pure function....

This is a knife I would love to own . At least half my cutting jobs are done with a folding utility knife. Most folding utility knives waste a lot of blade by hiding it within the retention mechanism. The rough sketch above attempts to illustrate a ute...

Only new Spyderco knife models are listed (accessories, sharpners, trainers and Byrd knives are excluded) and...

I personally love the full liners on the non frn seki models. I know they're a bit on the pricey side, but you'd the delica/endura/endela would be popular enough to at least garner some enthusiasts.

(Really regret not grabbing a st nicks delica in...

Let’s see those beautiful blue knives.

Taking knives apart
Every month we get back hundreds of knives that have been returned to dealers. These knives have been played with, taken apart, re-assembled and then returned to the dealer as new for a refund. Dealers will just put them back on the...

What are the odds we will see a black blade run of Seki K390? :D

Had training to do in Florence, AL today, and got out about 10. Ran to academy sports and picked up an AR cleaning kit, went to home depot and picked up the vanity and faucet my wife ordered, then decided to go to St. Nick's Knives. Was looking to get a...

The Delica wharncliffe sprint run in HAP40 and burnt orange FRN is my all time favorite work knife. So much so that once they had been available for awhile and everyone who wanted one was able to get one... I went back and bought a couple more in case I...

Today for me it the G-10 Cat!! John

If this is a duplicate thread.. Please delete..

Hi All
I would like to discuss the idea of an lc200n Dragonfly 2. The Dragonfly 2 is one of my favourite spyderco's. The big little knife that dissapears in your pocket. The ergonomics of this fantastic little knife suit those with larger hands looking...

When we recommend a knife to the average person, do we do a disservice by recommending steels VG-10 and upwards? In reality, most people do not know how to sharpen a knife and most are not interested in learning. They would rather use a simple pull...

Carried my Military for the first time in awhile today, and ran into a couple of hiccups.

The first came when I opened an Amazon package at work. Using what I swore was just the tip, I slit the sides of the packaging tape, then ran it right down the...

Deacon had a good idea about the casual bombshells Sal drops in seemingly random threads: feel free to add them to this thread so we can see them in all there glory together:

What's your favorite factory carbon fiber scale? I'm personally not a fan of the shiny stuff (fradon lock delica) or the stuff they put on the watu/chaparral, but I do really like peel ply, the fluted cf native type scales and the drunken (matter, kinda...

As I have been using and carrying my techno 2, more and more. I really feel like a stretched out 3.25 in bladed Techno 3 would be very close to perfect. I don't have the photoshop skills to mock it up. But a slightly longer seems like a really good idea....

I just finished chopping up a bunch of strawberries with my S110V Military.

How about you? What was your Spydie's last chore?

I had to sharpen a Police 3 for a friend but before that I disassembled the knife because of rust locking up the action, and I ended up losing one of the bronze washers. Does Spyderco do replacement washers and if not, does anyone know what size the...

Hey All,

Are we going to see a burnt orange REX45 UKPK?

There were a lot of golden models recently done in Rex45 but the UKPK wasn't among the list!!! What's up with that???

Glad it is available as a salt, but would much prefer Rex.

It...

Sal encompasses so much that is Spyderco which includes not just founding the company and so many patents and innovations but just as importantly his caring, sharing, nurturing and calm demeanor in public and these days meaning a constant and welcoming...

Ramzar posted this in the delivered and upcoming thread. Looks like a black Cru-wear blade and black scales...frn or maybe carbon fiber???

Every week I see some really great pics on this forum so I thought we could have a weekly competition. The competition will last from Monday to Sunday and the winner and runner up will be announced on Sunday evening. The winner will be the judge for the...

Hi,

Our early knives were all stainless scales. We were chasing high performance low maintenance. In 1990 we added FRN and offered the Endura and Delica is several colors. Nobody wanted colors :confused: Black only. We ended up discontinuing the...

New here so I have to ask as I can’t find it in the spyderco product guide, which models use spy27? As IMO cpm steel is very close in my needs I would like to try some I don’t possess, or just buy a hap40 stretch 2 on secondary market for ranch , and...

So I was flipping my new PM2 clip from tip down to tip up. After stripping the torx heads on two of the screws I finally got the clip removed. Underneath the clip I discover there was loctite on the scales. What is the best way to get this out? I tried a...

Those of you who carry serrated, or those that don’t but know their steel, what steel lends itself better to serrated edges from spyderco? I have been considering picking one up, just for something different to tryout. But from some light reading, and...

So, what flashlight do you carry with your Spyderco?

I've matched up three of my Spyderco knives with the flashlight that I think goes best with them.......

.........Ladybug 3/Fenix E05........... Native 5 G10/Streamlight L1-1AA.............

I found a stretch with v-toku2 steel, never heard of it , is it decent steel for EDC ranch use
As I am kinda hard on knives, buy or pass @$130 ?
2. Same knife in vg10 same price

Help a old boy pick

My thumb keeps slipping from the whole on the spyderco knife. When my thumb slips it’s going down on the blade and has cut my thumb twice I’m not even sure I will use this new knife has anyone that has used spyderco knives for years that the thumb can...

I chipped my Native 5 SE today. Any advice on how to repair? I’ve never sharpened a SE before.

Hi I'm from Malaysia and I recently bought a dragonfly 2. Tried to change the pocket clip to the other side n I lost the torq screw. Help!

Hello all - a newbie from the UK here. Please go easy on me!

I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask, but does anyone know when the next UKPK production run might go ahead? Especially the Heinnie Haynes special edition with the red G10 scales? Is...
