Spyderco Forums

CRKT puts a lot of knives names on their blades.

I am just curious as to why many Spyderco knives don’t have the model name on the knife blade, as l lot of other knife companies do. Even many custom makers put the model of the knife on the blade. Looking at my collection, only my stainless steel SE Police model actually had the model name on the b...

Definitely keen on this!!!

Well I can only speak to the Tatanka (as I own one) but have never handled a K2. In terms of a SD role the Tatanka has exceptional reach, a very robust lock and a thick strong blade that is able to be deployed very quickly. In fact, simply deploying the Tatanka in a SD situation may even (hopefully)...

I would be all over one!!!

So after a spray of lube and working the bade back & forth a bit, I can now thumb-flick my Ulize open :-)

Loving this knife right now!!!

Does anyone else have any pictures of Spidies with Allen's scales?
Come on and post 'em up. . .don't be shy now :-)

I need some eye candy to tie me over 'till mine arrive :-)

What can I say, awesome overall design, the handle just melts in my hand and that blade shape is gorgeous. She’s a bit stiff to open at the moment, but will a little Tuff Glide and some work, I reckon she will loosen up quite nicely. Now to my question to those of you who either own or have handled ...

Thanks so much for the reply Mike. I know this is gonna sound kinda weird, but I am a huge fan of your work and the Yo2 is my fave Spyderco, hence having 2 of them. I actually rushed home from the gym to tell my girlfriend that you replied to my post. Yeah, yeah. . .I sound like a real fanboy, but c...

Righto. . .I shall give that a whirl :-)

Ta muchly!!!

Thanks once again guys for the pics and reassurance :-)

I have placed my order and hopefully will see the scales in around 10 days (I live in New Zealand).

will definitely post up pics when done.

Chees, Nick :-)

What does storing it with the blade slightly open do?
I might give this a go :-)

Oh my goodness, what beautiful knives.

Were the Manix 2 XL scales hard to install?

Cheers, Nick.

Thanks so much for the replies and kind words :-)

Definitely going to take a look at the other Civilian like models.

Cheers, Nick.

Thanks guys, don't think I will do this now.
Will just let the knife break in naturally :-)

Thanks for the feedback & advice guys :-)

So I finally picked up a Civilian, (just so you guys are aware they retail for around $400 here in New Zealand) however, I was lucky to find a NIB model on the secondary market. I must say, it is everything I have expected it to be. I do however have a few questions about it. . . 1/ Why are there li...

Hi all, I have seen a few vids on Youtube on the polishing (1,000 grit sand paper by hand) of pivot points on knives to improve smoothness and the speed in which they can deploy. I have seen an example of a “flipper” knife that would not flip without some wrist action, but once the polishing was com...

Hi All, I am just in the process of ordering some awesome aftermarket scales from Allen Putman. Anyone on here ever used his scales? They look super amazing and have had great reviews on Youtube, plus Allen is a really cool guy to deal with. Three sets in total are coming my way, 1 set of orange &am...

Sorry for the hijack,

Does anyone know where I can purchase some aftermarket scales for the Y2? Not too fussed on color or material, just wanted a change.

many kind thanks, Nick. :-)
