Spyderco Forums

Congrats on getting married! May your marriage last long and be prosperous.

I also chose a Spyderco for my wedding carry a few years back. I carried a Slycz Swayback over other expensive knives like Chris Reeve and Hinderers.

Pretty sure this belongs to off-topic, but if the pliers can last as long as a Leatherman, then it's worth a look in my opinion. I've been a fan of Leathermans because the fit and finish are just ahead of other multi-tools I've handled. Plus there are a lot of reports of SOGs breaking down premature...

Does anyone still use Lycos?

I used Lycos way back in the 90's, now that's a brand I haven't heard for a long, long time. Netscape Navigator was still the king of browsers back then.

When I first got my Lil Native Lockback, it had a gritty action and didn't feel as smooth as my other lockbacks so I put some KPL on the pivots and that greatly improved everything. It's now my favorite iteration of the Lil Native, slightly edging out all my other compression lock LNs. If you have a...

Glad that's all sorted out, but I'd bet I'm not the only one getting Yoda vibes from that last comment.

Triple B! Perhaps you know the answer - do you know why some of the 15V knives from seconds sale have little dots on them? Speckled, like a dusting of pepper.

It looks like steel pitting and it happens also on my Maxamet blades.

Just reviving this thread in case others who have this issue too...I had this roughness also in my Seconds LN Slipit... I added one drop of KPL lube on each pivot (didn't have to open the knife, just a drop in each of the small gap between the G10 and blade pivot). It's now enjoyably smooth to open ...

Thanks to the Seconds Sale, I got my first Byrd, and I believe I couldn't get a better model. I'm impressed! https://i.ibb.co/5ckR3zq/IMG-20230823-143757-01.jpg The only bad things about this is the very stiff slipjoint lock...I can't close it one handed, impossible unless I want to bleed on the jim...

Nice haul! Thanks! Here's the whole spread. Honestly, I can't even find any major defect in any of these. If I'm being critical, it the only qc issues I could find are the snaggletooth in the Ayoob, but to be honest, I don't think it looks bad...and the very hard slipjoint lock on the Terns. One ha...

I just got my Seconds Backlock, and boy, am I in love with this thing. It's like a little tank. I wish we could get a Sprint or two of this version!

I'm guessing this is from Jeff of Cutlery Shoppe's collection? He has been unloading some rare ones these past days. Good catch! They seem to be in pristine condition for knives that are several years old.

Lil Native Wharncliffe!!!

Just got my copy from the last Spyderco Dealers Sale, and I'm really loving it.

Finally got all my Seconds Sale items. I'll try to get a breakdown of all the items at some point maybe, but so far, impressed with the quality of each in terms of qc.

I ended up caving on this one Here I was being so good until the online seconds sale stoke the fire again lol Congratulations on getting one, It is one of the best, if not the best Lil Native out there in terms of colorway. I ended up listening to reason and conscience and decided to sit this one o...

PE in stock at Ridgerunner Blades: https://ridgerunnerblades.com/product/spyderco-ayoob/ Have to start saving my pennies!!! I will pick one up if they are still in stock when I get some income flowing in. Might be landing a part-time job at Amazon. Took my drug test and since I don't do drugs of an...

Congratulations everyone!. You all make the community proud.

I use my Sharpmaker with all our kitchen knives too, but for fast reprofiling and edge repair, I think you should look elsewhere.

Well... kinda disappointed that it's the last batch of the LNs that they had released about 2 years ago, but the "Lil Nate" sticker should have been a dead giveaway. Now kinda debating if I should get one as a backup to my original release REC LN, or to pass. For those on the fence, this i...

A military 2 would break the internet. That would be quite the spectacle!! An incredible way to welcome that knife. Didn't REC say before in the past that they would re-release some of their models? I feel like I've seen something about that around here before. If so, lil Native would sound about r...

It's PVD not DLC.
