Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!

Finally, a word of advice: if you are new at disassembling Seki City knives (like me), maybe just maintain it without disassembly. Posted elsewhere about a Police I changed scales on a couple days ago. Even with some Seki-City disassembly experience I still found it a bit difficult putting that thi...

Re: Random: General Spydie Chat

Happy almost New Year! Put in the last few orders this year before the price hike. It was definitely the year of K390 for me. Bought most of the discontinued models and just put in an order at SFO for a Lil Temp and Ladybug in the magic steel. Also snagged what looks to be the last SE Wharnie Endela...

Re: Blue Nishijin Stretch2 XL Damascus

Hey Vanka, Nice score and nice pics. Hope you enjoy them. Hi Hopsbreath, Thanx for the pic and comments. Sorry about the edge. Glad you got it sorted. It's a beauty for sure and there will not likely be any more made as that was the last of the custom carbon. My wife, Gail, uses it as her EDC. sal ...

Re: Blue Nishijin Stretch2 XL Damascus

https://i.imgur.com/ZKU3mXR.jpg I don’t have a whole lot to contribute other than a poor quality picture and report that I got as perfect a knife as could be. No lanyard tube edge flattening, smooth action, well centered blade and excellent fit/finish. This ranks as the worst wire edge I’ve ever se...

Re: Where & how can I to sell a Spyderco knife?

r/knifeswap, bladeforums.com and eBay are all platforms I’ve bought and sold on. Can’t give you step-by-step, they’re all a little tedious, but I can certainly vouch for their legitimacy. Honestly, eBay is where you’re least likely to be scammed as a seller. Make sure you have delivery confirmation ...

Re: Blue Nishijin Stretch2 XL Damascus

Snagged one off Spyderco.com just now. Looks like there’s still some left. whenever i see runs like this "restock" i always wonder if people bought two and returned the lesser of them. i suppose it's possible that seki just sent them in batches though. I was fortunate to land a Cruwear ve...

Re: Sprints/Exclusives since JAN 2019

Anyone have feedback good or bad about the Siren sprint? It’s solid as a rock, probably one of the safest designs Spyderco makes. If you cut yourself when handling this opened it’s your own fault. If you like the design go for it. A couple nitpicks would be the opening/closing arc is a little obstr...

If MAP is released again this year, I'll probably pick up a new Native LW, though I haven't figured out which steel.
I’ve been waiting on a good deal PE magnacut myself. Something below $120 would do it for me.

ImageAccidentally stripped the screws on the clip so I had these scales made without holes tapped. It lives in my travel bag and is rock solid.

Re: Is the Endura still well loved in 2023?

Think they need more options, this is what makes many other models more popular, I have the endura k390 wharncliffe and its one of my favorite knives, not as pretty as some others but functional use its one of the best, I dont mind the FRN but I do with they had other options like G10 or Micarta, i...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

With my recent success sharpening SE k390 and the Police at 55% off MSRP, I figured I’d be losing money if I didn’t buy another.
