No Spydie is perfect. Compromises have been made in its design and execution.

What do you overlook or forgive in a favored Spydie just because most everything else about it is what you want a folder to be?

For example, I love my Caribbean, but I...

So I am considering some orange G 10 aftermarket scales for my Cruwear Military.

My question to you all is when they start to get dirty is there a good way to clean them?

I wonder why there are no black frn/black TiCN coated plain edge options for the Endura, Delica, Endela, Dfly, Stretch, Ladybug, etc? With all of the different color Delicas they make, it seems like an oversight to not have an option for blacked out...

I really LOVE my Tenacious and I honestly think it is one of Spyderco's best designs, and as evidenced by the popularity of this model there are probably a lot who agree. Literally my only complaint is the lack of the steels available in the Golden-made...

Before I start, let me be clear that results will vary from person to person depending on heat treat, use, materials being cut, how the knife is sharpened and maintained. I have sharpened the para3 Cpm M4 on my edge pro with the following: spyderco...

First off I want to confirm to you all that I've been a huge fan of the Spyderco 204 Sharpmaker since I got my first one back in the late 90s/early 2000s. And by and large I really love the unit and I own two of them and use either one of them at least 3...

The 52100 Military came as a bit of a surprise and seemed to be a hit with most people. I think many of us loved that steel, but for me it seems I need something a little more corrosion resistant for EDC. Given that the two steels are often regarded as...

Hey guys,

Does anyone have any update on if and when Province will become a reality? It’s been announced a long time ago. I’ve been postponing buying a blade in this size since Province is what I want, but I am thinking maybe I should just give up and...

So after weeks of hemnming and hawwing got a Bradley 2 that the local shop had. I'm impressed it is awesome! But I'm new to m4. Obviously this isn't a great biking knife as I sweat a lot but it is clearly a well designed cutter I could use at work, in the...

2 lil spydies. K390 Urban and H1 SE DFLY. NOOOO!!!

I need to get a small spydie to replace them. I have an ikuchi but need a small EDC. I am thinking another Dfly2, PE H1. Any other good suggestions for a mid range LW user?

Maybe a Native LW, but...

Thin is in!

The new Z-Cut kitchen knife series from Spyderco is unique in several ways. They come in four colors: red, yellow, black, and green. Three edges: PlainEdge, SpyderEdge, and fully serrated. Two blade shapes: pointed and blunt. And most...

Since we have a Throwback Thursday (I'm too new to participate :( :D ) how about a day where a fixed Spydie gets thrown into the mix? I've tried most days to carry a mule with me along with a variant of para3 or the occasional DF2.

I'd love to hear...

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!

Does anyone have a 3d file of the PM2 blade?

I made a plastic thumb-assist for my PM2 and I would really like to make them using a 3D printer because that can be done in carbon fiber and would be much more useful. I have tried to wing it with...

Hilary from Spyderco just did a nice little video with some Christmas gift giving ideas. The Spyderco Native Salt made an appearance. Have a look..

I hope Spyderco continues to post videos like this.

I am a huge fan of Spyderco knives. I have been carrying my Pacific Salt Black PE every day for about 18 months and have been very happy with it. I figured what better way to show my appreciation for such a great knife than to contribute something that (I...

... may be the best Spydie i owned yet. So many aspects are pretty much perfect. I'm in love. :) So smooth, so grippy and handsome, such an ingenious unlocking mechanism. Not the biggest fan of wharnie blades, but the thick blade stock - yumm!! :D

Give...

I notice some Spyderco and other knives have blades that are set somewhat offset in the handles. What are the reasons for this, again? Someone on the forum said it is to protect the knuckles when cutting on boards?

I'm about to drop my money on a new knife and I'm wondering when the PM2 Maxamet is going to be released? I don't want to get caught in that position of being short on available funds and missing out because of it. What's the latest line on this one? I...

I am trying to figure out which of the shapes, the hawkbill or the narrow, straight sheepsfoot is best for freeing oneself and others (in that order) from various potential hazards of sailing. I personally am particularly interested in the smaller Saver...

Both the Polestar and Alcyone are good looking knives, which is certainly to be expected from Spyderco. In a very short time I have come to love Spyderco designs and quality. And as far as I can tell, the quality is right on par with the Tenacious and...

So I bought this Lil Temp around 2005. I carried it for a couple of years. I was on the Spyderco Forum back then and posted about this knife many times.

Anyway, I gave it to my brother. He used it for a couple of years. It was presumed lost. It was...

I'll just lay it all on the table... Spyderco did an incredible job on the newest red G10 UKPK sprint run. There is literally nothing I would change about it, not even the boring blade steel (yes folks, S30V works perfectly fine... shocking, I know)....

Just like the title says... will a signet ring made for the regular Delica 4 fit on a Delica 4 Wharncliffe? Very curious to know.

Only new Spyderco knife models are listed (accessories, sharpners, trainers and Byrd knives are excluded) and they're broken...

As you know, Spyderco ceramic stone is show little or no wear over time(Fine & Ultra Fine). I looked for another stone similar to that but I couldn't.

Is Spyderco stone only one that is not worn? How about Chosera or Sharpton Glass stone?

I'm not talking about replacing a current steel (S30V), but as an additional option, like S110V and Maxamet. What say ye?

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....

Hi I am new here and was wondering what spyderco knife would be good for
Working in a warehouse. I also wear gloves so I would need something that
Would have a decent size handle and a good steel and that is crazy expensive
Another question is a pouch...

We already have the great Behind the Edge Database (which can be found here )

I propose we start a HRC database and list all of the known Hardness testing results we can. So if you have any HRC results for any of the Spyderco models please share them...

I figured we could get a thread going on different Spyderco screw sizes. Frequently google'ed subject, ebay sellers make a fortune selling them, and the factory screws are not really standard sizes :)

I'll add/correct this OP as we go.

Clip Screws...

Whenever new models like the Police LW, Chief, Endela, etc come around there are always a flood of comments about same old black S30V/VG10 and how everyone is waiting for the sprints/exclusives. That is all fine and dandy on a popular knife like the...

I am thinking of one or other of these (not both) for a utility fixed blade. I want something 4-5 blade length (both of these are under 5) with a useful pointy tip, and of course it should be a good cutter. I don't really need H1 or rustproof, but SE H1...

Hello all, this is my first post here.

I am new to Spyderco knives, got my first endura a year ago and have picked up a couple since.

I sharpen my knives semi weekly, and planned to send them in to the factory once a year for a good clean factory...

These are the varieties that I've found. Please feel free to let me know if any have been missed or any upcoming.

1. CPM s30v - black G-10 (C223GP) (Spyderco USA - Dec 2016)
2. CPM s30v - digi scales G-10 (C223GPCMO) (Spyderco USA - May 2017)...

I would like to see a thread like this grow and have lots of measurements from all the common models, and if several people participate we can create averages to compensate for tolerances and perhaps even see if some sprints are ran thinner than others....

Besides the beloved Manix there have not been a lot of knives released with this lock. I love the caged ball bearing lock. Who wants to see more of it?

Lately I´ve noticed, that more than one forum member (including myself) who call the Backlock their favorite, rank the CBBL (Cached Ball Bearing Lock) second, clearly before Comp.Lock, Linerlock, Framelock and so on.

That got me interested in :

C22 Walker/Klotzli Genome Project
Folks,

I'm interested in a little genome project for the original Swiss-made C22 Walker. There are several variants, but it's really hard to determine from the archives and Wiki all of the total combinations and which...
