No lock stick on mine. I took off the clip and it feels so much better in the hand. May need a custom sheath that clips on to pocket.

Here’s a video of me opening mine 3 times. The third one is the worst. It’s REALLY bad

Re: Subvert Sprint CF/20CV!

Mine is developing pretty bad lock stick to the point where i almost need two hands to close it when it’s opened with more force. Any suggestions? I’ve opened it a lot of times, made sure lock face was clean, graphite and sharpie only lasts so long…

Re: DLC

Why not DLC on all non stainless blades ? :winking-tongue - No idea if that is true (I´d rather think NOT), but some people say that coating adds a tad more "resistance" to a cut. It actually does in certain cases. I find substantially more drag with dlc when cutting apples for instance T...

Re: What you don't like about spyderco knives?

That drafty brain has served me well here. All the stuff the Internet says is bad—backlocks, FRN, serrations, “outdated” steels—is all actually pretty great. But I wouldn’t know that if I had taken some chances. I’d recommend you try them all at once, for $92 (less while the MAP holiday lasts), and...

Hows the bte thickness on this knife? Standard Spyderco affair... I just measured 1 of mine and got .0195-.020” BTE. So just like most delicas, enduras, etc. built for the masses! Okay with me I measured mine last night and the best I could get was .023" right on the shoulder. That was from un...
