Welcome to the Spyderco Forums Odo.

Enjoy your stay! :)

Depends what knife you are holding! :D I have a WTC-knife that i even never opened once! You should develop muscle memory in that thumb so you will do the opening without actively thinking about it. It takes about 2000 repetitions to build this muscle memory, so you can develop it in a week. after the 2000 openings your knife will be slick and it will feel like second nature to open and close it. :)

Odo, welcome aboard!

thx grinch but i'm way over 2000...and yes it is second nature!! i owe it all to a friend who gave me a spydie as birthdaypresent!!! is there a better gift?

but if you could explain the "spyderdrop" i'm all ears!!!

Hello Odo, welcome to the great Spyderco forum.

[Grinch]

Spyderdropping is probably the fastest way to open a Spydercoknife. Faster, but with less control then thumbaction only.

To Spyderdrop your spyderco knife, you pinch your blade with your indexfinger and thumb together "thrue" the spyderhole. Now you can flick the knife open with a quick twist of the wrist. Of course the bigger the handle and the heavier the handle the more easy it gets, due to larger momentum. This manipulation technique is one of the "secret" signs we have to see if someone is a thru :spyder: lover or an imposter :D

By telling you this i like to introduce you to the rest of the :spyder: forumites as a "friend of ours". :D

Now you have become an officially :spyder: Forumite.

:)

thank you all for the warm welcome and grinch: my first spyderdrop is a fact, though first time i held the blade upside down...no succes :confused:

thumbaction still feels more natural :D

thanks

Are you kidding? For us it's much more than a tic....it's a way of life :P
sounds better when I say it.. more dramatic!

enjoy your stay
