Spyderco Forums

Leaving the "barcode" like marks aside, does the Spyderco spider regularly vary as much as indicated in the previous posts?

Why have these popped up as "in stock" this far out from the day of the drop? Were they returns?

Enough already. Canada is lost.

How cool! Thanks man!

Ok, the satin finished M4 green micarta BHQ Shaman flew off the shelves in less than a day (right?). This DLC version is one of the very best looking ever, imo, and yet it remains for sale (5 days). Did BHQ decide to order that many more with DLC than satin? I have an extra BHQ M4 satin if anyone wa...

Thanks for sharing this. Please keep it up!

I thought it was probably just me noticing that "kink". Man, I know the feeling, "99.5% is not good enough"!

1221. thanks!

Seems this was mis-labeled. Used and modified, or I would have bought it. CPM D2 Military.

When working on installing drywall on a ceiling, it's great. Love the wave functionality of the pickpocket for quick one-handed deployment while holding something up in the air with the other hand.

Wow. Awesome. Sal, many thanks for the story. Larrin, I realize this question will force you to work within extreme generalities, but, is there a relative humidity level over which you would expect modern high-carbide steels with low chromium %'s to corrode structurally over long periods of time (>5...

Yablo, spot on, this is the kind of info I am looking for. All, many thanks. So, my hunch about the military being the first model may be on target? I imagine I can find production numbers on Spydiewiki, if I am not mistaken? Did other manufacturers enter the market with powdered metallurgy steels a...

Yes, I should have been more clear. I should have used the term "tool steel", or "high vanadium-carbide". I am researching long-term shelf storage corrosion resistance under differing environmental conditions. Information regarding which steels and knife models were amongst the f...

I am researching the long-term attributes of modern knife blade "super-steels", particularly in regards to shelf-storage and the factors that affect "new old stock". In particular, I am wondering which was the first to see a large-scale distribution, from which a reasonable data ...

Forgive me if discussed recently elsewhere, I looked. I use my knives as the tools they are designed to be. I have, however, wound up with a few duplicates that I will make "safe-queens". Just how prone to corrosion are steels like M4, K390, etc, when purchased new and stored thoughtfully ...

Evil D - Agreed. Micarta makes it interesting, as, by strict definition, unless the last person that handled the knife was of Spyderco employ, at the site of packaging, a micarta scaled knife cannot be ethically re-sold as new in box. The definition of "splitting hairs", we are certainly a...

I figured plain dish soap. I just didn't want to further discolor it. Many thanks.

Pardon me if this topic was recently explored. I searched. I recently bought one too many M4 Shamans. I am considering returning one, or perhaps making it a safe-queen, not sure. I notice though, that just the tiniest bit of oil from my hands (even immediately after a good soap wash) seems to change...

Yes. I think this knife is a work of art.

I also considered it for 5th pocket EDC. How about this idea.... an XL and a mini?

What a cool 5th pocket EDC design. Quick deploy, absolute laser slicer.

I was definitely thinking saber grind. FFG doesn't seem robust enough. Is there a name for a saber grind combined with a hollow grind? Is that a silly question? I would love the wharncliffe edge, with a saber / hollow grind to keep it as thin as possible behind the edge whilst maintaining a reasonab...

I don't know the answer. But I want one.

Anyone else?
