What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

[u.w.]

Shut the front door, and get right out of town :) Woodpuppy, vivi, and Digdug72!

I know we have a love of Spydercos in common, and I knew I was in excellent company, but I'm really diggin' it even more now! It would seem we have more in common that just the knives.

In honor of yalls excellent photos, I would like to add mine - if yall don't mind :)





Mark Gator Vision V6. 88 or 89. Independent bases, Thunder riser hanger up front, Motobilt riser hanger in the back, Swiss bearings, and A LOT of Great times and memories!
Thank yall for posting up those photos! Totally made my night!

Of course I'm still carrying the Hyker

Awesome thread drift :cool: Independent trucks, Swiss bearings, slimeball 95A’s

I kinda cringe at the idea of trying to skate now, I went 2-wheel in college. Started getting into trials a little and was far more adventurous (and competent) doing that than I ever was skating. Sure was fun though :D

Haha. Love those 80's boards! I've still got my Toy Machine board with Grind King trucks somewhere. I've also got a Zero deck signed by Jamie Thomas that I obviously never used. I believe those are in storage at my parents house, makes me want to go dig those out!

I was skating a toy machine today. An old eye deck with krux trucks. I built a new board during lockdown last year but still like the old broken in one better.



heres a real short skate video I made years ago.

I found one of my boards with the help of my wife, I'll post pics in the morning! **** Vivi...tall, skinny guy, Toy Machine...you related to Ed Templeton haha!

Love that set at the end, could never do it with one foot though. Great control. I'd do something similar but turn it into a backside shove it and if I was lucky a kickflip out.

Looks like we all loved to grind! The board I found (or wife found) I'm not even sure who made it. Can't wait to post tomorrow morning!!

Maybe we should start up our own thread? Who knows how many of us skaters are out there in this forum :D

I have not tried the throwing techniques yet but I did watch the videos you linked. Might be able to try it today.

Hey Vivi, one last time on "no" spin knife throwing (such it is such a fun skill to have! :)

I watched that very lengthy instructional video (mentioned in the SHORTER vids) of that German guy now (Vid in English though!) (https://youtu.be/RfgmRSfBs8w&t=1148s): The content and the tips especially for people rather new to that kind of throwing are actually great! Would have helped me a lot when I started "no" spin throwing.
Just the first 15 to 20 minutes are really worth watching already!!

/ On topic: Going for a run now, and, who would have guessed it, will be carrying my Chap IWB :)
Seen here with the Esee Laser Strike, my main throwing knife. Not designed for that, but in my use better for throwing (actually great for that!) than as a cutting tool... :rolleyes:

Thanks for the crash course on no spin throwing. I should be able to find a chance to try it this weekend!

I'M not over-carrying, YOU'RE over carrying!


A few months ago, I recieved a K390 Dragonfly and swapped the VG-10 blade out of this G-10 model into it for my girlfriend. She likes teal, I like K390, it's a win-win! I tried reals hard to fit the G-10 model back together with the new K390 blade & matching lockbar, but man I totally failed. Well, I tried again the other day and got it together first try - don't ask me why I waited so long.

It's a bit stiff, but the lockup is rock-solid. I'm real stoked on what I consider to be pretty much the highest-performance little knife out there.

That board & those trucks Have Seen Some LOVE :)

Fresh deck, fresh dye job. Gotta put some scratches on these guys :D

Rick and the rest of the "skater gang":
I was never a skater myself (just a tad too old, I was not really a kid anymore when it became popular and too much into other things already), but I really enjoy reading your conversations ,the pics and your passion!! :)

Will have a look at Vivis skating thread.
