Spyderco Forums

Hi,Im new to this board and from what ive seen im really impressed.

I started buying higher priced knives just this year so i started out with a Gerber Covert Folder and what a hunk of junk,So as always i thought that if i spent more i would get...

So, what do they have in common?

I've got areas of ignorance and a few questions regarding all three...*L*

First off is that Balisongs seem to be a pretty hot item especially lately, between the BM's, MT Tachyon, the talk of a Spydie Balisong,...

to rase a question out there, why would anyone spend 80 dollars on a light wt. when they can find the G-10 disscontinued model for less? just like my G-10 harpy and late merlin.... I payed 71.00 for my merlin, and my friend got my harpy for 65!!! crazy,...

Hey guys,

Relatively new to the forum, but I have a quick question. Was wondering, now that the Salsa has hit the streets for a while, what do you guys think of it?

and if I were to purchase, should I go for the Ti version or will the aluminum...

Where is the schedule at. Can someone put a link up for it?

Thanks,

Fred

They are serrated,red checkered handles with white spyderco logos.

I learned in my youth to be careful

with knives ; I had a rather painful

lesson last night trying to open an

adult proof ( kids can get into them easily ) with my C 29BK Cricket , the blade slipped and I cut my left ring

finger ! Wow, is...

Hi, Mr. Janich--

In a couple of your recent posts you've mentioned carrying a balisong. I'm curious about why that was your tool of choice, and/or your take on the pros and cons of this style of knife for personal protection (other than...

Before anyone takes this the wrong way, I am NOT trying to insult Mr. Keating. What is a Master at Arms? and why is he the only one I've ever heard of? Really, this is not mean- spirited, just curious.

In one corner we have Linerlock. In the other corner we have Lockback. Which one will win? What is your favorite?

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

Just wanted to thank you again M.J. for the intstruction at the recent MBC course. I was suprised how a lot of it came back to me. I believe it has a lot to do with the design of the course and the common sense approach you take in presenting it. Really...

Fellow Spydernuts,

I would like to pay tribute to Mike Sastre of River City Sheaths. This AWESOME dude makes the most AWESOME neck sheaths I'd ever came across! I've packed em all over the world and there's nothing bad I can say about them sheaths...

There's a Spyderco Rescue w/ stainless handles for sale on eBay at

Was such a model ever produced with stainless steel handles?

thanks. bye.

Well my blue Centofante finally arrived (actually it came about 10 days ago but I've been too busy to post ). It was shipped before Christmas but the dealer sent it by uninsured surface mail instead of the insured airmail I asked for and charged me CAN$33...

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...

Gunting Plain Edge or Leaf Blade Lil'Temperance??

OR both B-)

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...

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

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.
