Spyderco Forums

I looked this up from when the Persian was first introduced. Shows how much thought went into this very fine knife by Mr. Schempp. I wanted to thank many forumites for their kind comments on the Persian and share some of my thoughts on grip design. First and formost the grip is your attachment to a ...

Recently acquired my Spyderco "Holy Grail",a Tim Wegner JR
C-49. Took me about 3 or 4 years before I got lucky.I had
all but given up. Big thanks to RIOT :)

A 2000 BMW R1150GS :D The biggest dual-sport on the
planet.Weather is equally cooperative here in AZ :)

Hello Halfneck, I recently acquired a Wegner Jr after looking for one for over 4 years!I think that they are much harder to find than the full-sized Wegner.The knife is identical to the large Wegner but at 2/3 the size. Unoffical specs: Handle=3.75 inches Blade length=2.87 inches Cutting edge=2.75 i...

thnaks grass hopper, hey by the way, did you get that tim wegner jr ? and what do you think about it ? HI RIOT, Yes, it came via UPS this past Tuesday.I am very happy with it. It is a carbon copy of the larger wegner only smaller.I probably could of saved a lot of money on knives if i could of got ...

Happy Birthday RIOT!! Hope you have a good one.

[quote="Raqudu"]1984 - C05 Standard was my first. Plain edge, all-stainless, integral metal clip. :) :) Ditto for me.Knife was given to me by father in-law (he is a rancher) Was the nicest knife I'd ever had...by far.Still have it,it resides in my toolbox in the garage. Lotsa of "mile...

I think that is a GOOD idea. :) :)

Congrats on a fine score RIOT!!

Hey check your PM messages

If you have the money, I would snag them BOTH!!The "starmate" is a
classic and the Wegner is one of my alltime favorites.I could not tell if
the wegner is the full size or the jr model.The full size will be about the same size as the "starmate".Good find. :) :)

Just this week I was Able to put the sharpest edge ever on a knife
using my sharpmaker on S-30V. I didn't Really do anything different - but **** it's sharp !!

Now I feel the need to try And get my other Knives that sharp. :p

Hey , that's funny.. I just got the same one in the mail today also. Mine is black though. I couldn't believe how bright that light is,looking foward to getting some good use out of it. I am already thinking about getting some smaller ones to go in the family vehicle's glove boxes. After playing wit...

AJ, You got a smoking deal there! My local brick And mortar store has 2, both going for About $160. each. I've handled them and they are light And smooth as silk. Very "purty" too.The Owner of the shop said he was thinking About Raising the price on them becuz they are collectible. Of cour...

I've got an i-pod nano for x-mas last year.It is pretty cool. I burned a greatest hits mix from a good part of my cd collection.Sound quality is OK. Probaly should use a higher sampling rate though.I think the default is 128kbs,256 will sound better,but you won't be able to get as many songs on the ...

Daniel and Malice, thank you for your VERY thoughtful replies. I appreciate the time you guys took to reply to me during the holiday season.I will do some research concerning lenses and flashes.Seems now I have even more decisions to make. :eek: :eek: But, like I said this is a starting point for me...

Thanks for the replies.I am curious as to the opinions of "aftermarket" lenes. I have always thought that in order to get the best quality results that generally speaking it was better to go with the manufacturer's lenses.Better quality,better optics etc etc?? I realize that the lenses wil...

Everyone here seems to be very knowledgable about a great many things. I thought I would ask fellow forumites about their thoughts on a new camera.I am looking to move up from a sony point and shoot 3.1 megapixel. I've got it narrowed down to 4 models all at 10.1 mega pixels. 1)Canon Rebel XTi 2)Can...

RIP.. Mr Lum, Godspeed and God bless

Be well Arnon

That's a funny coincidence. My Spyderco " handle" is derived from my 1970 lime green mustang .... my CB radio handle was grasshopper. :D :D
