Spyderco Forums

Yip you, all your fault spydieholics, as if I havent purchased enough Im now lookin at gettin a Chinese folder cause of all of ya rave reviews and comments on the forum as well as a Gunting and drone and Forum Military and........,hehehe yeah, my bank...

What will be Spyderco's biggest challenges in the next decade?

Will it be trying to stay with the leaders of the industry? Will the most serious challenge come from cut-throat imitation makers? Or will the price war pose a graver threat?

I am merely...

As skunkwork sheaths are unavailable here in France, how would you carry your gunting using only the clip.

I will soon be the proud owner of a brand new one.

thanks in advance.

In a past thread about the appearance of the new Military knives compared to the old that I dug up today from the archives, with respect to the laser engraving compared to the diamond type used before... Sal explains to the group about some of the changes...

The policy(politics) of firm SPYDERCO is absolutely not clear. Why so it is complex(difficult) to order and to buy such simple spare part as clip. Certainly one PROBLEM knife (though also cheapest) can is serious damage(injure) to well-being of such large...

Probably a simple reason, but I can't think of one.

Why are some knives designed with their clips orientated for point up carry ??

OK, it's going to take a lot of jumping around on rough terrain for the knife to partially open in your pocket, but why...

After your continued support of the Bob Lum Chinese Folder I just got one today and it is all that you said it would be and more. thanks for the recomindation.

I have a old Terzola that I can not bring the left edge back any ideas? I got the right side very sharp on my 203 but cant get the left ??? Also is there a big diff besides the case in the 203-204 sharpmaker?

Just saw a pic. Nice! Has anyone gotten one these? Just curious as to any impressions of this spydie.

Thanks,

Clay

Sal,

You said that there are 10 new models coming out this year. Any chance of one of them having a Dyad Jr. flat ground plain pointy blade only? Something small and handy and sheeple friendly and Ladybug-like?

I recently purchased a Spyderco LadyBug II as a gift from the above company's website: Blades for Less. On their site they show one photo of the LadyBug series and give one narrative description of the knives in this series. They describe the blade...

....for asking yet another question :-)

I am the person who keeps asking the Wegner or Starmate question. After reading the responses to that question, and then reading through many of the other threads on this forum, I realized that I may have been...

I've been bitten by the Military bug. While visiting the dealer I actually handled one (PE version). I opened it with it's magnificent large opening hole, tried a drop opening ...well, you know. I just have to have one now.

So, my first thought is that...

I'm new here, so please don't hurt me. I heard something about a Spyderco slip-joint. I heard it is supposed to be something like the Navigator in profile. Cool, for me and my ilk. Is there any chance of it being flat ground as well? Please, oh please, it...

I took the clip off my gunting just like the way it feels.more comfortable in the hand.plus it stills locks up in the skunkworks holster tight.Just wanted to see who else has done this?

I've heard that a Spyderco Museum is in the works!!! KEWL!!!

Any other info?

I think the building SFO is currently in has been sold and relocation to a nearby existing building will include a museum featuring Spydie products!!!

What did people think of the Remote Release. I have one and think it is possibly one of the best knives I have ever owned. The clip is very handy and paired with the incredible blade it is nearly unbeatable. One complaint however, it might be a more...

I'll be looking for a Gunting sheath soon but I would prefer one with the Tek-Lok rather than the slide on ones I've seen on the forum. Anyone know of a manufacturer?

I'm having trouble deciding what my next Spyderco will be. I can only get one right now and am trying to keep it under $80. I don't want anything smaller than a Cricket, and have narrowed it down to theese:

1)Native Lightweight (plainedge)

2)Calypso...

Sorry to repeat the question I just posted in the Matte finish stainless Police model thread, but I thought it might be better posed this way. So here goes:

Is there a benefit to GIN-1 over ATS-55 in the Police model? Should I be looking for one of the...

i was wondering if anybody knew if this company is reliable? i just odered 2 spydies a great prices and started to think maybe i should have asked here first.

What is the best place to buy a Gunting 'package' of a semi serrated Gunting,a drone and the video set.

I've had my 204 for about a month and I am very impressed with it's ease of use and the fine results I have been able to achieve.

I find that I tend to clean the stones with the usual Scotch-Brite and Comet materials after every 3 or 4 sharpenings. I...

Anyone out there own a serrated Gunting? If so can you answer me one Question.

Are the serrations 50/50 or full length?

Seeing the Peter Herbst popping up frequently on the cull list, I have to wonder how many folks have handled the newly redesigned Herbst. I received mine a month ago, and was floored at the improvement. It's a good steel, the handle is extremely...

After watching me buy my three Spyderco's (so far) in relatively short order, my friend at work decided that he should probably own one of these knives.

After review of the forum products page and the brochure that I gave him, he initially leaned...

Hello from a newbie.

I've been looking around for a knife recently, and found Spyderco products to be highly reccommended. I browsed the catalogue and was all set to pick up an Endura when I decided to check out the knife laws in my home state...

I fly every week on work-related travel. My usual carry is the Michael Walker Lightweight in a straight edge. Never have problems with getting it through-- put it in the basket with my keys, phone, etc.

I haven't had the fun of playing with a VG-10 Calypso, but I just cut some cheese for my supper with my ATS-55 delica.

There's only about 30 kitchen knives in our house, only about 3 plain edge, and all dirty though. Rather than wash one, I just...

what is it with these knives?

I have picked up a pattern with respect to posting. The first reply I make goes through with no problem. The second and subsequent posts show an error message which has resulted in a number of multiple posts.

If I just ignore the error and go back to...

Hi all,

I just recently purchased a Native as my first knife and am very happy with it. I now want to purchase another, and I think it is going to be the last for a while :-)

So, with that in mind, I have decided that I would like to get one of the...

i don't want to be a nuisance or be anal retentive, but I have a problem with my copilot. I left it in a glass of water to soak for a couple hours, and when I took it back out, it was rusted all over. It was just plain water that i left it in. Is this...

Hi all,

I asked this question about 3 months ago, got a lot of great answers, and then my wife turned around and bought a Sebenza for my birthday! Great wife, great knife!

However, I decided to sell the Sebenza last night for a number of reasons,...
