Spyderco Forums

Good afternoon,

Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket modifications for the autonomy 2?

Do you believe that the backspacer from a para 2 will fit the autonomy 2

Anybody else excited for this one. US made Spyderco balisong. I will definitely be getting one.

This was a bad idea. Don’t do this.

I’ve taken apart every knife I ever bought. I thought that the janisong couldn’t be more difficult to reassemble than the autonomy - I was wrong.

I had to walk away and revisit the reassembly later because I...

How could I have been so ignorant?

Apparently I have successfully blended out for years that there is a length limit to blades of automatic knives in Germany, in order for them to be legal. :( It's 8,5cm. And the Autonomy 1/2 have blades of 9,4/8,9cm....

Received the Autonomy on 1/28/16 received the below emailed letter from Blade HQ on March 7, 2016.....

Dear Blade HQ Customer:

Thank you for your recent purchase of a Spyderco Autonomy automatic knife from Blade HQ. We truly appreciate your...

I’ve had a regular autonomy 2 since the beginning of this year. Early on the knife initially seemed to have almost a gritty action while closing and I noticed some small metal particles around the action of the knife at different times. Figuring it was...

Not sure where everyone here is about balisongs. I love them. I like flipping and flipping has become a huge thing in the knife world. Good knives to flip are being made by all sorts of companies now. The old Benchmade 42 was 1 that started it all off....

Thank you, Spyderco, for making this desirable combination of the best side opening automatic. I’m super excited for this.

Done a quick search, but i haven't been able to find out if the original VG10 Spyderfly is illegal to sell to/in the US?
I've been thinking of letting some US outfit sell it for me if that is possible.

Hi all,

So, I picked up an Autonomy 2 at a gun show, used. I got a very nice price on it due to the amateurish sharpening that one of it's previous owners gave it. The edge was a disaster, so I got out my KME and fixed it up so it looks nice, and is...

Hey! So I have been looking online to see if anyone has posted a video or any advice on the reassembly of the autonomy.. A co-worker of mine has taken his down for maintenance, and was unable to reassemble. I have assembled many auto knives but this one...

Hi All,

Does any of you know if there will be a Janisong 2 ( Made in the USA ) some day, or will the Janisong simply be discontinued ? I'm thinking about buying another one and I'm just wondering what the right time is...

Thanks for your feedback...

Hi Folks,

A great new video about the Janisong knife. Worth it. And no, I did not shoot the video :) . But for all fans of this knife a must ;) .

Have a nice weekend

I bought a custom edc bali from Russia a few months back. The idea being something practical but fun to carry. It turns out it’s not the most practical thing in the world... combination of shoddy craftsmanship and little real world testing. So I’m in the...

Inquiring minds want to know :confused:

Hi guys! Its so nice to know im talking to people who understand the greatness of spyderco anyway i had a question i ordered the autonomy 2 in orange and it says that its delayed they are waiting for the shipment from spyderco i was wondering if there was...

The SmallFly 2 is definitely the knife I am most excited about in the most recent reveal. I like the utilitarian blade, as I wanted a balisong I can EDC. That got me looking at the specs of my current EDC, a Manix 2 LW, and I realized it is a pretty...

Is there any momentum for a new US release of the Spyderfly or Janisong?
Kershaw is entering the balisong market this year with a new knife called the Lucha in their 2020 Catalog.
I've had my eye on a Spyderfly and Janisong for years. Just wondering if...

I need this to happen!!!!! Bring on the ORANGE!!!!

I love my autonomy 2 and every time I think of buying a new knife I wonder if there will be an orange variant. It’s simply one of the best designs they make in Golden!

I know that Spyderco has a few automatics (OTS). Has there been any thought of a Out the Front (OTF) model?

I ran across a listing for a Spyderco Autonomy 2 Jr at a very large distributor. This is interesting... I imagine it's one of two things: a mislabeled listing or someone let the cat out of the bag.

The centering is perfect, man this thing has some snap. I love it. Very cool 👍 EE359E89-0175-414F-A92F-02956A80F535.jpeg

I’ve been thinking about how the Autonomy(2) is such a great design, but what would be neat is a big Autonomy. Perhaps an Autonomy XL. Squint a bit at the picture below and imagine how great a big Autonomy would be.

Black Autonomy en route from BHQ. Should be here Wednesday!! Bearrowlands photo on another thread got me 👍

I have searched and searched...I swear the original thread for this has disappeared!

Anyhow, the release date is officially this Wednesday, 7/22 at 12pm ET.

Automatic/switchblade knives now to be legal on August 9, 2017. Gov. Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 8 on March 24, 2017.

As someone who frequently carries the Autonomy and Autonomy 2, hearing that Sal has a carbon fiber Autonomy 2 is very exciting news.

Count me in as a buyer should this come to fruition.

Update:

I have an Autonomy 2 and the blade is way off-center. Any ideas how to address on this knife?

Now I know what wicked means...

Sorry if this is post is not allowed.

Does anyone know of a dealer that sells Spyderco autos in the Central Florida area? I choose not to violate the nonsense Federal law banning the shipment of automatic knives, so that leaves local dealers only.

I love H1, wharncliffes, blacked out knives and big handles. The Autonomy has been on my radar for a year or so, but I'm not sure how to actually purchase one.

I'm not Military or LEO but it would be 100% legal to carry and use where I live. But every...

I have had my autonomy 2 for a little over a year and had decided it was time for a deep clean. It came apart easy enough and I know how to reassemble it but with my sausage size fingers, the spring just comes undone and throws things everywhere. is there...

I'd like to swap out the stainless screws for black screws on my autonomy 2. Does anyone know if the autonomy screws are common Spyderco sizes and/or where I can find such hardware?

Thanks

Hi Autonomy 2 Owners,

As the title states looking to buy one the black DLC serrated model.

I would like to ask those of you who own this knife if you have experienced any blade play or lock rock when deployed, I really detest lock rock yet tolerate...

What are the Canadian rules on the Spyderco butterfly knives and automatic knives?

BladeOps clearing them out at $199!

Quick question, do you guys store your autos in the opened position to minimize spring fatigue, or does it matter?

Dropped @ BHQ :)

Edit : After the great Photobucket mess I lost the photos in this post. I did find one of them today on an old hard drive while looking for something else - 1 photo is better than none.

I picked up a Janisong when I was in South Africa last week...
