What is a spyderdrop?

The Cool · #3

I just performed a Spydiedrop with my Mouse. Not easy due to the short length of the handle (little leverage) and the 'springyness' of the lockback.

A Spydiedrop, is when you pinch the hole and flick the handle downwards to open the knife....well that's what I think it is LOL.

When you SpyderDrop a Mouse or one of the lighter handled/smaller Spydies, it is most important to grip the blade/hole very tightly. This will transfer more of the wrist snap to throwing the handle off the blade. Best done starting with knife in tip up position.

Icebjorn,

The "Spyderdrop" technique for opening a Spyderco knife is to hold the knife with the blade on top and the hole in the blade pinched between the thumb and pointer finger, then snap the wrist such that the weight of the knife carries it downwards to effect the opening process.

Thanks for the explanation. Funny way to open an knife. I used to try different open methods on my lighter, but I don't smoke anymore so practicing with my knife is an excellent replacement. Are there any other methods?

C-K - Great descriptive word, "verve" - haven't seen it used in a long, long time. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

The Mouse can be dropped, but it takes a little moxie to open it in one smooth move.

SS knives will do great, my Native barely needs any flick to drop open. FRN is a little tougher, and little knives like the Mouse are quite difficult.

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

If my kitty-cat (June-Bug) saw me trying to Spyderdrop my Mouse, I'm pretty sure that she'd snatch it right out of my hand and show me the RIGHT way to "open-up" a "mouse"...LOL!!. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I can grab the hole on my Navigator and pull the knife out of my pocket and open the blade at the same time.

It helps that it has a very tight pocket clip and I have loose pockets. Wouldn't want to try it wearing my jeans. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Never let minor details like the facts get in the way of telling a good story.

No problem at all ; the little critter spyderdropped on demand as of the first try.
Like Mike Sastre said : hold on to the blade tightly as indeed it does take a bit stiffer flick than larger knives and you do not want to drop the Mickey Mouse of knives.
Anyone tried to spyderdrop a real mouse ? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
