Spyderco Forums

Took a look at a CF Civvie (They have em at Bestknives.com for $200, JIC anyone's looking for one), and I noticed that when the knife is closed, the part of the blade visible in the profile makes the blade look smaller, and the curveback of the reverse S...

Did some searching, and found a site that may have a full-size Micarta Calypso Plainedge. Looks great, like an Endura with a finger choil. It's a little expensive, so I wanted to know what you guys throught of this old knife. BTW, I love my Calypso Jr....

Anyone have any information about these things. I have one in my safe. I got it so long ago that Steve Martin was still with the company. It doesn't even have a serial number, just a certificate certifying it as a prototype. Any information would be...

Just got my new Endura lightweight... Good lord, that's a lot of folder. I'm used to the Native and Calypso Jr, so this is a big knife in my book.

One thing that threw me was Spyderco's advertisement of a flat grind on the 2002. I was expecting a grind...

I saw another post on this site where a fellow asked about turning in ideas to Spyderco on knife design.Is it a bad idea to discuss potentially marketable knive constructs on this forum? Would Spyderco lose any benefit due to this being a public forum?...

Believe it or not, with all the interest in the Rescue knives lately, it will be either the Rescue or the Rescue jr. in orange, but my question the my fellow knifeaholics is, which do you think is the better choice?

Rescue SR, or Rescue JR?

A knife...

right i'm in an internet cafe and i'm agonising over what to buy from the knifeshop up the road... they have a bob lum tanto with titanium handle for 304.45 euros which equates to £185, is that a good price?? i've never seen one for sale before on the...

I was over at Country Knives in Lancaster County looking over their marvelous selection of Spydes. No, they don't have the Lil Temperence with the leaf blade; only the upswept blade. When examining the Gunting, I noticed the liner lock released by...

I've been looking to buy the Blue Lum Chinese Folder. Almost everyone has the green models but not the blue handle models. Anyone know where I can buy one over the internet or phone mail order?

TIA, Deac

If you have an idea for a new knife, how do you submit/present it???

Does anyone have a pic of the Starmate from the spine (I think that's what it is called) showing how thin it is???

Thanks

i think that the G-10 Harpy is the best knive out there what do you think of this knivel.

Whats up with the Enduras at Shoplite.com? They're selling two kinds of Delicas and Enduras. The ones with the current handle shape are called PRCA and appear to have some sort of logo on the blade. What is this logo, I can't make it out--Pachucks...

*Sighing*

I really dislike it when I get in a jam when I'm trying to make up my mind between a few different Spydies. Argh! I have it narrowed down to just a few canidates. I will now call on the power of the FORUM, (moment of silence ), and see what...

Howdy! I need a couple of questions answered about the Ti Salsa. Is it a Framelock? Does it have the Wire clip like on the Aluminium one? and last is it also made in Taiwan? I want to get one but probably won't be able to make myself carry a knife that...

To : ALL

I'm STILL awaitng my order from 1SKS ; after

a call to them I found that they were out-

of-Meerkats and had to restock, is there a

shortage ? I haven't encountered this sort

of problem before. Have ANY of you ?

i bought my 1st spyderco at a pawn shop used,it looks a lot like the basic worker.pictured on the opening page of the online catalog, except this knife is all stainless and serial numbered 0481 of 1000, is this a collector knife that i shouldnt be using...

Hey, do you any of you know of a really effective and easy sharpener. I have a sharpmaker, and regardless of the fact that my rods broke in half and the fine grit developed indentions, I am just not satisfied with it. It just won't get my knives as sharp...

If I were to rder a SS Police factory direct within the next month, would I be guaranteed to get a VG-10 model???

How good is the LT FRN Dragonfly? Is the clip strong? What kind of steel does it have?

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

Does anyone know what kind of coating looks golden, but is not gold? Some have said that a Ti coating looks this way, but I've only seen balck Ti.

Hello fellow Forumites and Spyderco Crew,

@--->--->- Happy Valentine's Day to all the guys and gals out there in Spydie Land!

Hope you find yourself receiving a nice new Spydie this Valentine's Day!

Hope for the best. Be prepared for the worst....

Fellow Spydernuts,

Besides packing your Spydies, do you have a tactical flashlight stored on your utility belt? Well, if you do, what will it be? Here are my favourites :

My favourite EDC combo - the Endura and UK 2-L.. Really AWESOME!...

Or you can cry because he made such a huge mistake...

Endura? Looks like a Worker to me...

Bwahahahahaha!

I don't hang around these parts much, but recently I caught a glimpse of the Spyderco ATR.

It is an impressive design. It shows great promise. What's the latest take on this model?

When is it coming out and how much is it going to cost me?

I have heard a little bit about this steel. Could anyone tell me more about this steel. Does spyderco use it?

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

Do you plan to come out with any new steels?

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

No doubt it is a very very stong lock and I love its simple design. Does spyderco have the plan to switch to this lock? especially for some of those knives with stong blades. Maybe some people will say that the chinook's backlock is as strong as a bank...

I heard little about it,peaked my interests however,now,I carry a spyderco everyday as most of us do,this week it's a standard old knockoff with the sharp handles and solid(no screw)clip,but I need one with thin blades for exactness in measure on center...

Have any Spyderco knives ever won awards..I'm sure they have but I'd like to know which ones specifically...Appreciate the help...

On a fair here in Germany I bought a huge knife made by G. Sakai (blade length 9.5 , overall 14.75" , which looks quite similar to the Coldsteel trailmasters. The blade is labelled HSEK - High speed edge knife . The seller could not tell me much about...

Hi Sal,

I just wanted you to know, that in the last issue of French Police Magazine called CIVIC (not a public magazine), I spotted a French RAID member (Police Elite Team), who's carrying an endura.

I will send you a scan, as soon as my scanner is...

I never was much for fixed blades, but I really like this knife. I was wonderering how most of you set up this sheath for belt carry... vertical or horizontal? I think horizontal would suit me best. It's just that the screws that attach the clip in the...

It seems that I just can't stay out of harm's way......

This afternoon was just beautiful over here in Northern Indiana, so I decided that I would take my Ruger Ranch Rifle and go plinking. I went out to my favorite woods, and I began to look for...

in my book, excluding looks, (for CF) the proper ranking for durability and toughness would be as follows: G-10, FRN, then CF. no doubt, CF is nice, but it is out done by G-10 for no nonsense strenght and chemical resistancy.
