This just makes no sense!

Why does my Spyderco have this huge hole in the blade? It’s just stupid, seems like it would be a weak spot on the spine if I were to hit it right there with a hammer! Do you think if I put a correct size bolt though the hole with a locknut it would make it stronger there? Like a homemade thumb stud….

I’m stumped…what to do?

This place has given me a headache this week!

Very dangerous. Send it to me and I can properly dispose of it for you.

[benben]

And I really wanted the sharpen the spine just like the edge, that hole really screwed that plan up!

yeah. i'm not sure why there hasn't been any visible moderation. it would be nice for moderators to speak to this guy and try to figure out the deal and/or remind people that personal attacks and making fun aren't what this place is about either.

Yep….but I’m serious about the hole, why?

Nothing can be done about this structural issue. Please pm me for disposal directions!





Joking aside, I got mine secondhand and really wish that my example of this model looked that good with that thin of an edge!

[lilshaver]

Lets see it isn't a prybar and it isn't a chisel and functions quite well for it's intended purpose with the hole. Might be this worry is a bit superfluous.

Crap I found holes in my blades after seeing this thread. There's little holes in scales on about half of my Spydies too! Should I call Spyderco?

So basically you're saying I shouldn't worry about that hole? Thank you for easing my mind sir!

I sharpen the holes, they're the best tool I've found for skinning hotdogs.

I understand where you are coming from . I can also see the frustration brewing. I will follow my instincts and just ignore and hope it dies with no hits . MG2

I saw some mohels posting about doing this same thing...

Would it skin better with serrations?

How else do you make wavy hotdogs?

I prefer the term "crinkle cut"

No, I don't think that's what Sal is saying at all. He's saying that you can use your Manix as a cup.

I like your bolt idea. What would that be, a half-inch bolt? Would give your knife some real "gravitas."

I tried this morning with my breakfast sausage. The result was... unsightly.
Should I worry about my butcher?

Surely you've noticed the decline in mom and pop butcher shops....that's all Spyderco's fault. Their dang thumb hole has absolutely cornered the hotdog skinning market. Why do you think they had a patent on the ROUND hole? You ever seen an oval shaped hotdog? You know why nobody has ever copied the byrd comet hole? Try smashing a hotdog through that thing.


Seriously the only reason I even own more than one knife is because they make them in so many convenient sizes. The best part is, if you line the holes up from biggest to smallest you can also make a hotdog reducer. Nobody likes it when their hotdog bun breaks in half at the bottom...boom, problem solved. I've been reducing hotdogs for years. Can't count how many bun lives I've saved, how many mustard drip shirt stains I've avoided.
