Spyderco Forums

Hi All ----- I wrote this review about a month ago and just cut and pasted it here for those that never seen it;

I've had my Szabofly around a week and it was time to post MY thoughts on this Bali --- to each their own.

It was designed by Laci Szabo ,...

Anyone flip a SmallfFly yet?
Have never tried one this little.
Thanks!

Weaves conventional Balisong elements with innovative features expected from Spyderco. Elongated handles modify the Fly's center of balance over traditional Balisong knives. The...

Greetings fellow flippers and spydienuts alike.
As you may know the most praised Benchmade 42 Bali-Song has been discontinued and with the current prices on the secondary market, it is nearly unobtainable. The 42 was dubbed as one of the best high-quality...

I am a LEO looking for an auto for duty use.

I am having a hard time understanding the differences between the two models. Also, what length have you LEO's/Military have been using?

There are not many reviews on these knives which I am a little...

Does anyone have any good photos and review of the Citadel? I've got my eye on one, but based on the pictures it looks fairly bulky to be an EDC.

Thoughts?

Hey, i just started getting into butterfly knifes. i had a super cheap one i got for 15 bucks and it it broke, so im looking for a new one. i am thinking about getting a spyderfly, but all i can find is the smallfly model. is there anyplace i can still...

Hey guys. I'm looking for input on the Big Citadel, for duty use. I'm thinking about getting one for duty use. Do you guys know how strong the lock is compared to the Auto-Axis from Benchmade. And also the deployment speed compared to the 5000 Presideo...

I was taking some pics of the notch on my factory seconds Spyderfly for the Deacon and thought I would share a couple with you.

I've been flipping for over 10 years now. I bought a Szabofly and it was loose and the back of the blade would strike the handle. The pivot screws were tightened all the way and had loc-tite. The knife made a lot of noise when flipping, something like...

Besides being against Ebay's rules, wouldn't selling and shipping these be illegal?

This looks like two of Spyderco's autos in this one, but I could be wrong.

So I was messing with my CF Spydies today and thought to myself spyderco hasn't made a CF Balisong yet. I think the Szabofly would look amazing in CF. It's Sandwhich construction would also make it very easy to do as well. The only problem i see would be...

I purchased a Citadel recently for military use (all paperwork provided) and was wondering something...
If I need to send the knife in for warranty work of any sort, how would I go about getting the knife back if I'm no longer in the military when said...

i'd love to see some pics. if i knew i could put it back together I would do it myself but I don't know :D . yes I know it would probably void the warranty but i thought there might be some tinkerers on here that have done it already.

I have the Spyderco Trainer and was wondering if it was legal for me to own. I need some work done on it but I don't want to send it in if it's not because Spyderco won't return it. Thanks for your help. Ashley

ok so my friend came to me with a szabo asking me to tighten the pivot screws. So I went through my tools and found that T10 is too big, T9 is too small, metric hex does not fit, and standard hex does not fit. I looked through the forum and found someone...

hey guys, this forum seems to be dragging a little, so I thought I would ask, any one with experience with the bigger Citadel, I think that is going to be on my Christmas Wish list, and was wondering as I have never owned an auto Spyderco. thanks

Hello,

I was just about to grab a citadel for my father who is a police officer and a second before I ordered it I realized that it has a button for right handed opening. He is left handed. There is no left handed version I am assuming? Anyone here left...

i was checking out some old sites and i came across something new at szabo.

can we get any more info on this or is it still hush hush?

Finally my spyderco spyderfly is sharp again. It took me forever to sharpen it. Turns out it just needed a taste of diamond to get it back in shape. Anyone here still use their Original Spyderfly?

Let me get this right. Unless I am military or law enforcement or fire-fighter... I cannot own an auto anywhere in the US? My states laws seem pretty lax on knives, this is why I'm confused... Is this a straight up federal, nationwide law?

I am just wondering why I can't find auto spydies for sale in oregon when auto benchmades and kershaws are at every decent knife dealer?

If this has been beat to death can you link me to the thread?

Thanks.

please!?! Where is the BI-FOLD?????

This project is discontinue ???

Thank's. Tibo.(France).

Right, first off I want to mention it's 6:01 am and I got off work 2 hours ago, so if my spelling is bad (or you can't understand this post) I'm sorry.

I got my BM 40tr BaliSong Trainer (Couldn't find the Spydie trainer), and wouldn't ya know it- instead...

Hey guys, just curious, i've seen the Spyderco Spyderfly, and it looks really cool, but i was curious as to whether spyderco even makes them anymore? I heard that they stopped making it for legal reasons, with the switchblade ban. whats up with that?

I just got the 440C version of the Spyderfly and am wondering why the latch does not work when the knife is open?
It seems like a very big detail to miss and the handle is terrible to actually use and get a grip on.
It feels like there is something wrong...

Im not sure if you guys can help me out..but ill see if you can.
I have a friend that lives here in KS and yes we all know butterfly knives are outlawed here. anyways Its a spyderco and he ruined the tip when it got dropped. I really dont even know how...

Who owns one and how do you all like it? Thx

Yesterday, I've got a Citadel 83 mm . It's legal to own here in Germany because
the blade is shorter than 85 mm.
I have just a question:
On every Spyderco which is made in the USA there's always the inscription
'Golden/Colorado/USA/Earth', but on the...

Anyone else think it would be cool if spyderco made a pocket sized balisong. Like 2 15/16 closed, maybe even smaller?

Please be aware that we will be upgrading the Forum software on Tuesday, 14-Apr-09, at 1000 (MDT). I anticipate it will be down for 1-2 hours. We will be jumping all the way up to 3.8.2, so things might look a little different around here.

Just wanted...

I've spent loads of time reading here and read the catalog in the head way too many times. I was shocked to see 4 different automatic Spyders at a Knife shop in Fort Worth over the week end while I was out there visiting from California.

How have I...

I just bought a Sazbofly. Wowie!

Does anyone have any production data? I understand that the first were in VG10, then 440C I think, mine is marked 154CM. How many were made and are they likely to go back in production after the previous Spyderco...

Spyderfly enjoying a little sunshine.

Just checking for any updates on the Samaritian....Any word on a possible release date?
