Spyderco Forums

Hi All,

I have a birthday coming up and figured I'd ask for your opinions; I have my eye on a few Spydies. I'm still pretty new to all of this as well.

I currently have two Manixes (LW & G-10) and a Sage 5 LW. I've been EDC-ing my Manix G-10...

As a fan of :spyder: s with thinner blades (3mm and less), I am curious why most blades made in Golden are on the thicker side (3.2mm and up)? The only exceptions I could find in the catalog are the Autonomy (2.9mm), Janisong (3mm), and the UKPK (2.5mm).

The time has come to let one go that found it's way to me through a similar act of kindness, my leaf Caribbean. Not to say I don't love this knife and appreciate the gift...it's because the knife has meaning behind it that I feel it's appropriate to let...

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...

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...

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....

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

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

So it seems as though the GB2 is discontinued and oos everywhere. I want to acquire one. Does anybody know where to snag one or has a line on one I would appreciate the heads up. Also on vendors websites it says backorder or delayed by manufacturer or pre...

Ok, time to get dragged in the comments.

I love the Spyderco Military blade shape and dimensions. I think it's a close to perfect design. I would love to see it housed in a different handle...

I know there are tons of diehard Military purists out...

I think they look kind of cool but what's the point?

Well, maybe not really a fighting knife unless you want to argue about who gets to open the beer. For years I campaigned for a knife with a bottle opener; a real knife like a Spyderco with a 3.5 inch blade, the opening hole and the pocket clip....

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...

I have a fully SE Endela which I love but I can't help looking at other fully SE knives and thinking, what if? I have yet to pull the trigger on a Caribbean although I've put in the basket about a million times. I keep thinking it wouldn't slice as good...

Hello all! I just got a 3d printer and I want to print a replacement ball bearing cage for my Manix. I don't know how to design 3d objects so I've just been using Thingyverse. However I cant seem to find any 3d files for a Manix ball bearing cage. If...

Can't wait for this one!

The DLT exclusive Kapara has given me a ray of hope that this could happen. Cruwear and linen micarta is in fashion these days, and I’d definitely be on board for that, but there are other steel/scale combos that would work for me.

Who else is on board?

I recently emailed to ask about getting a replacement clip screw for my Caribbean. Today, 3 screws and a small tube of Loctite showed up in my mailbox!

Being (AFAIK) the first regular Endura in both FFG and SE, not to mention K390, it should be a real cutting beast!

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...

Well, I feel like a little kid right now just waiting for Santa, in this case the Mail person. I am waiting on 3 Spydercos: a Delica super blue, Cat G10, and Pacific salt spyderedge. What's in the mail on your side of the woods?

Hi All,

OK - I keep asking for help deciding, but I figure that's one reason this forum exists. Plus having been on multiple forums for years, I know that many of you love to talk about this stuff, and nobody else wants to hear it, so here you are......

I was looking at the Kapara and Subvert recently and was wondering if those Taichung fancy pivots are Ti or not. It’s got a matching finish to the Ti liners on the subvert, and said finish is consistent with other Spydie Ti. Even on the Kapara which has...

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I posted. Just about every product I buy these days comes with a branded sticker from the company. I would gladly pay an extra $1 or $2 for every Spyderco I buy if a little Spyderco sticker came with it.

I was in the ole knife room finishing up a nice, coarse grit on M4 Para 3 just yesterday when my wife and dog come in and sit on the floor to hang out :) My wife has handled and used a few of my knives over the years but has never really paid too much...

I am out riding my mountain bike and I normally have my Pacific Salt clipped inside the waistband of my athletic pants but it’s currently out on loan so I had to grab my Manix LW to take its place. This made me remember... wheres my Manix Salt??...

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...

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...

(I´ve asked this here already, but figured people might overlook the question in that thread, so just copied and pasted it in a dedicated one):

Looking at the drop point and the wharnie Salt 2 ffg, it seems like the wharnie has the smaller, and the...

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'...

If Spyderco had maybe one of their old school models from the GOLDEN ERA ( 1998-2004) that sold itself pretty much just on looks and aesthetics it would definitely be the C-59 Shabaria model. The designer Eduard Bradichansky died over 10 years ago and I...

Share the crazy good deals on Spyderco products that you find here!

So I ordered it from my local dealer a few days ago along with the 2021 spyder coin, bought the pink heals dragonfly 2...it came today and I love it! Yes I'm a man and have no problem with pink....I shouldn't ever loose it! I like the smaller size too....

So Sal, how's about it? We're already going to get K390 in Japan, how about an XL Dragonfly in K390 and Foliage (or Ranger) Green G-10? :D

I know some models are starting to get coated liners, like the para 2 and yojimbo.

Will this also happen to the Military?

I haven't seen anything other mention of this on the forum. The Dragonfly has been around since 1994, and other than an evolution to the Dragonfly 2, there really isn't any other real spiritual successors to it. I realize that the ergonomics of the...
