Swapping Native 5 lightweight (FRN) scales?

Any tips and tricks for swapping out scales for the Native 5 lightweight? I'm sure it's pretty straightforward but the one thing I'm not 100% sure about is how to get the lockbar pin out. I'm assuming you drift it out with a very small pin punch?

Re: 2023 price increases?

I've just about reached my ceiling for what I'm willing to pay for a Spyderco knife. I feel the same way about other manufacturers as well. Same here. Take for example the Sage 5. Very nice Taichung knife, but not a hot seller, It's just a basic, run-of-the-mill S30V knife with G10/carbon laminate ...

2023 price increases?

I'm assuming there will be a MSRP/MAP price hike in 2023 just like years past. Anyone know what the 2023 price increases are?

Hi Vivi, sent PM's here and on Reddit a couple of weeks ago, but haven't heard back. Would love to join the swap forum, thanks! Jim Malone is in the same boat.

Re: Crazy Good Deals Part 2!!

UPDATE - Seems the "knives21" code is now only good for 15% off in stock models. Considering it was their sales code throughout all of 2021, and it's now 2022.. I suppose it's a good thing it's still working at all.. :worried In December, I picked up a DLC Para 3 for $121.52 out the door,...

Re: Prices going up: US G10 Spydies increasing more than other families

Hi, this is actually my first post here, I've been lurking for quite a while but finally joined. It will be interesting to see what effect these price increases have on Spyderco's market share. For example, street price of a basic Paramilitary 2 (black G10 / satin S45VN) is $154.70, and it currently...
