Spyderco Forums

Last Week a friend of mine at work said he took some knives to SMKW, to have them sharpened. The fellow sharpened them all except the Spydercos; he said to send them to the factory for sharpening. I told my buddy to bring them in, and I would sharpen them...

The ceramic (white) stones on my 204 are not straight -- they're somewhat bowed, in contrast to the brown stones, which are perfectly flat and straight. I'm not sure this is a big issue, but I'm curious whether anyone else has noticed the same? It seems...

Call me old-fashioned,but the looks & balance of the Centofante & Centofante Jr. appeal to me.?Why would these not make good combat blades?They sure look'businesslike'!

I was wondering what everyone thought about japanese water stones. My neighbor says his is awesome especially on the kitchen knives. I was wondering what your experiences are with them.

We have our carnival thing up here this week. I was there last night. Had to hit the crap venders...

I was able to pick up a set of 3, 2 linerlock knifes. 1 like the wegner in blade shape(plain), the other 2 (80/20 egde) are almost like the native(but...

I have been hearing about a Spyderco video that shows you should spine wack your knives. Does spyderco still sell these, and how much? Thanx.

What's the David Boye dent?

thanx.

This is a quesion mainly for Sal: Do you plan on ever considering making a limited production knife with a ceramic blade and grey/black handles such as CF, or maybe G-10?

I own a ceramic bladed Boker, and let me say it says sharp as **** (not as sharp as...

I'm hoping someone here can tell me if it's common for the blade on a Spyderco lockback(Calypso Jr.) to wobble side to side while in the closed position. Everything is fine while the blade is open, but it's starting to tap up against the inside of the...

I got a loose screw in the handle in of my millie. Where can I find a screwdriver with that end so I can tighten it? Should I just take it to the closest dealer?

PS What do you guys think about the serrated cricket? I'm just looking for a nice little...

Can be use Tri-angle sharpmaker for big blades?Knives with 8 inches or more?Thanks.

Greetings,

Would anyone happen to know where I could find a copy of the tape Bram Frank Introduces the Gunting ? I read in an old post on the Bladeforums Spyderco Archive that Spyderco would send you one for free, but I find that hard to swallow, since...

This is for a knife that will be in my pocket every day. It will be exposed to pocket lint and used daily for mundane cutting chores, probably without much in the way of TLC. Which of these steels would you choose, given these conditions?

I guess it...

I've got a question about the blade lockup on my Calypso Jr. When the blade is extended, everything is tight and works great. However, it's quite loose and off to one side when folded. Is this common for Spyderco lockbacks? As far as I know, there's no...

My girls birthday is comming up and I want to get her a Spyderco to use at her resturant and as EDC. I was thinking about buying her a Native but I do not know what handle to get her. I can buy her SS because it would be sweet to have it engraved, but the...

For sale is my collection of 32 Spyderco Collectors knives, all engraved with collector number 177 PLUS...

Well, I unfortunately had to give up my Gunting today. Had a customer order a Gunting. I had my distributor drop ship the knife to her. She got the knife yesterday. It was a Chinook in a Gunting box. Needless to say she wasn't happy. I called my...

A big thank you to Thomas for teaching the UK Gunting seminar at my club in Nottingham on Saturday. This was the first Gunting seminar in Europe and I am sure that everyone there would agree what an informative, enjoyable and also painful day it was!!...

I've decided to start a bit of a collection. I think that the collector's club is too much money though. I'm trying to decide what to get next. I want to get one that would fit nicely into my edc rotation. So far I have a delica and a military, both plain...

Check out this months issue of Maxxium magazine for a short review of the Spyderwrench. There is also a lot of other eyecandy to keep you interested.

I have an older sharpmaker with only one angle instead of the 40 and 30 of the newer ones. Does anyone know what the angle is on the older style?

I recently received my new Howard Viele knife. The postings on the Forum helped me decide that this was the knife for me. I love this knife! It is just the right size to carry...it is not too large and not too small and it should handle almost everything...

A slight dilema is occuring. My sister's boyriend's birthday is August the 27, and I want to buy him a knife. He uses a fake spydie knock-off ( very dull, lots of bade play, and the lock fals while cutting cardboard), and I want to buy him a real...

How does one go about joining the Spyderco collectors club, and what do the benefits include?

Thanks,

Frank

I know I want a Military or a Wegner but I can't deside. What steal is better ATS-34 or CPM440V? What knife feels better built and opens smoother? Does it matter if the Military does not have liners? Thanx guys.

BRAM, I heard you will be at MILIPOL 2001 in PARIS.

Could you confirm and give us the date please.

I just recently was at the coast with my military and native. I noticed that they both rusted while perfoming dailly task. While my Dads delica(a-6)seemed like you could not force it to rust. Is this normal? The rust was not enough to damage the blade,...

I'm considering a Shabaria... but I'm curious what those of you who have them think. I have moderatly long fingers if that matters...

Love? Lust? One night stand?

What is the public reaction like?

Thanks!

I recently sent in my Cricket for

polishing, sharpening, etc. I've been with-

have been carrying a Fury knockoff on

a keychain and things aren't just the

same. I did today 08/06/01 receive my

I figure on buying one this week and was wondering, which is better steel wise. The navigator is GIN-1 while the dragonfly is in either ATS-55 or AUS-8. Which is better in your opinion? I'm taking about edge retention, rusting, hardness, and the likes....

I was cutting boxes in the back and noticed an air vent in the 12' ceiling coming loose. Trying to fix it by pushing it back up IS NOT a good idea. The grate came crashing down and opened a nice gash, with the corner, on my left thumb. About 1/2 x1/4 ,...

The Aug.2001 'MAXIM' magazine has a brief & favorable review of the SpydeRench multitool on page 197.THought I'd pass the word FYI.

I was wondering if anyone has seen an engraved almite knife handle. Seems to me that this would look nice since the silver aluminum underneath would be exposed when the almite coating was removed during engraving. Would this work? Would bare aluminum stay...
