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

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

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...

Who else is excited about the Damasteel Urban?! This is one of my favorite clip-less folders in the bottom of my pocket, and I can’t wait for the matching UKPK.

I plan on polishing the scales on this one too, like my S90V version.

Based on my curiosity about reducing the blade length on another knife I experimented with changing the profile of the spine on my 20CV Delica Wharncliffe. I am actually pleased with the results. Pro tip to anyone looking to mod a blade by hand with no...

Rules:

1. It has to be based on an existing model, current or historical. Anything from the C01 Worker onwards.

2. You can designate the materials, including blade steels and handle materials/inlays.

3. You can designate the grind type and...

Didn't want to derail the What's In Your Pocket thread, so I'm moving the discussion here.

You ever like a knife so much you don't want to carry anything else?

That's how I feel about this one:

I like my Chiefs and Yojumbo and Police folders...

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if you use the forward fingerchoil on your para's. I do not use it on the PM2 but do on the para 3. What are the intentions of the design? What are your thoughts?

Sometimes you want to post something Spydie related or SpydieForum related but don't want to create a whole new thread or anything...

Well this is the place! A general chat of the General Discussion forum; if you're new say hey . No way to derail this...

I am new to the forum, Spydercos, and folding knives in general. Recently, I made my first thread here asking about buying a Para 3 LW as a good first knife…

…well, like the title says, I went a bit crazy:

I really like Spyderco's texturing on their FRN. On knives with 2.75 and larger blades I love the bi-directional texturing. That stuff really anchors a knife into my hands and it is not harsh and it does not create hotspots for me.

However, on smaller...

I wonder when the Lil Native LW will be released? I hope it is in the new Reveal.

Any thoughts on this knife? I like the idea of it having much thinner blade stock. I hope it is thin enough behind the edge.

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all doing well.

Every time I see this knife I want to get one. I’m wondering if you all feel the same way. If you do maybe Spyderco...

Hi everyone. I'm not the most experienced when it comes to exotic steels like Maxement for instance. I'd be interested to hear what steels everyone around here likes.

As forward thinking and innovative a company as Spyderco is, it cannot be all things in the knife world. Known predominately for its Spydie Hole, tall leaf designs, thumb ramp humps, and 50/50 choils but I wish that periodically they would step outside...

Can anyone tell me if this is an early April Fools???!

I think I’m finally coming around to the “no choil” camp.

My first experience with Spyderco was the Stretch, and the next was the Dragonfly. My most-carried knife over the past 10+ years has probably been the Paramilitary 2. All of these designs make...

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'...

Go get'em boys 🤣

Can you fine folks give some advice on reducing the blade length on an LC200N blade manually using stones? Which stones would work best? Work from the spine to the tip, etc? This would be on a Pacific Salt 2 3.76 inch knife and I would like to take...

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

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

Like the community sharpening journal, I thought it would be interesting if we had a corrosion journal of sorts.

Post the steel, environmental conditions, photos of the corrosion, whether it was intentional or accidental etc.

I think if this thread...

How’s it goin everyone! New member here from Canada . Just starting my spyderco collection! I been using the endura 4 for about 10 years now. Recently just decided that I like knives and this would be a fun hobby lol so I got myself a ladybug 3 salt and...

Anyone have both a Bob Lum and an Astute?

I've never owned a Lum Chinese Folver, but I do have an Astute. It's one of my favorite knives, but what few gripes I do have with it seem to be answered with the Lum. Less belly, no thumb ramp, maybe a bit of...

Just look at that size to weight ratio! I thought the FFG Pacific Salt was impressive, but this looks like it could be the new king of large, lightweight folders.

Better edge to handle ratio than the Stretch 2, much better size to weight ratio, and a...

Recently I launched a thread asking you folks which 3 of the older models you all would like to see in a Sprint Run. The one model that just kept coming up over and over again was the C-60 Ayoob model. It just makes perfect sense to take a hard look at a...

Hello all, I carry a Manix 2 in S30V. I live on a farm, Hunt, clean game, fish, camp. I am wanting to buy a para 2. I’m always using my knife for something. This time I would like to improve on the blade with this purchase from the S30V. Edge retention...

I was recently on a road trip and had zero intentions of acquiring another pocket knife, but when I rolled into Bishop, CA and saw signs for the Knife Joker shop, I decided I had to stop in (there are no dealers near to where I live so in general, it’s...

Im starting this thread as an easy way to track my own findings/uses, and to maybe benefit others on the fence about which “big” Native brother to purchase.

I’ve always liked slicey knives for my folders and left the “hard” use up to my fixed blades....

I have a Spyderco fish hunter strapped to my left shoulder and a native 5 salt attached to my lower right side of my life jacket. I was jigging my fishing rod and didn't notice that my rod kept bumping my knife up out of the pocket. Eventually it popped...

So… what’s the deal with blade centering on the Chinese models? I have a Tenacious and a Resilient, and both have the exact same off-centeredness, about 60% favoring the show side. It seems weirdly consistent, and it can’t be adjusted out, even by making...

Although I’ve been a Spyderco fan for years, I’m just now getting to the point where I plan on breaking down and cleaning my knives. I watched Eric Glesser’s (super helpful) video about maintaining the Shaman, and had a question for the more seasoned...

If you have a Spydie frame-lock whose titanium lock-face has been hardened (CQI or originally) by carburization or steel-insert, please name it.

- Blade centering seemingly is one of the main things many people check when getting a new knife and are disappointed if it is not 100% perfect.
- Also, reviewers on youtube (actually most times first impression guys ) put high value on the centering of...
