Spyderholes cut by.....?

Knife Knut · #1

How are the Syderholes cut in our blades?

I am guessing they are drilled/machined, but not drilled all the way through in a single pass as this would make a mess of the breakout side; instead, two holes meeting, one from each side.

The basic holes are either stamped or cut out with a lazer. Then they are reamed afterwards.

Sal, did you see my post about carbide strikers on the main forum?

Is the more expensive lazering is reserved for blades too thick to stamp.

What hapens to the slugs from the holes?
An interesting use for larger slugs might be Lazer cut (just like the opening animation<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>)SpyderBug trinkets/tokens/jewlery: might make good companion piece to the Mini Police Necklace, ear studs, cuff links, keyring (maybe a bit small for that), signet rings, paper embossing dies, and those are just the ones I thought of easily.

I'd love to have a spydie-hole. Kinda like donut holes!

I would love a spydie symbol... I have a good number of small keychains and it would look great on there.

We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

Hi Knife knut. Joyce is looking into what it would take to collect some "holes" from the lazer cutting.

WOW what an excedllent idea, this is the first time i ventured into the realm of the techno junkie, very cool, i'd love a spyderholethey could make it so it fits into a normal hole like a spyder shaped plug <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> (for display only) and how about spyder buttons or lapel pins, the possibilities are endless, i mean really how cool would a spyderkeyring be... i want one! no infact i want 10!!

I'd love to get my hands on a few of those as well! If I need to make a monetary contribution to the Spydie Hole Foundation, please let me know!

Add me to the list, I'd love to see some creative stuff done with SpyderHoles.

OK guys & gals. We have lotsa "holes". We toss 'em. It would cost more to get the "hole" to you than the "hole" is worth. Soooooo....how do we do this without us blowing a bunch of bread in; time, shipping and handling costs?

Include a couple with each of the next forum knife<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hi Sal,

Thank you for taking the time to address the questions and comments on your forum. It's just one of the many reasons why I hold Spyderco in such high regard. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Back to the topic:

How about including a SpyderHole with the Collector's Club knives?

I'd be willing to pay for Shipping and Handling for any SpyderHoles. I am sure others would too.

Suggestion: Have someone from the forum receive a large bag-o-spydie holes in a single COD(freight) shipment. Then those wanting a few Holes can make arrangements to get them from the Hole Holder. As a spare hobbie task-it would not take that big of a part time effort to send a few packages out in the mail over a couple weeks time. I can see how it would be a bust for Spyderco to throw labor at this task though.

Also, these holes could be :
1) drilled for a ring/clasp/chain grabbit
2) Gold plated
3) engraved

Anyway, I know I'd like a half-dozen to goof with.

Is there a trustworthy volunteer type forumite that would play Spydie-Hole Distributor?

If no one else bites, I'd do it..........

These holes are obviously the same steel as the knives from which they came. Why can't they be sent to the maker of the steel for incorporation into maore knives? No wasted money or materials.

As for getting rid of a few extras, tossing a few into the boxes with Forum knives sounds like a good idea to me. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

GlockDoc · #19

I know that I'd like a few.

vampyrewolf · #20

I'll take a few... Play with the dremel and a shrunken SpydieBug icon... make a pin or 2, keychains, etc...
