Re: The evolution of a car kit

Good thread! Here in California, with Prop 47, thieves get a slap on the wrist for breaking into a car, if that. You can steal up to $950 and it's only a misdemeanor. Car break-ins are endemic in SF and LA. So we tend to carry second-grade items in our cars because, if stolen, we can't count on poli...

MAP Question

As I understand it, MAP = Minimum Advertised Price, the lowest price at which a dealer can advertise an item. That seems to leave the door open: perhaps some dealers may have unadvertised prices, or will give lower prices if contacted directly. Are there any dealers who will go below MAP if you (1) ...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?

Not looking for your favorite model, but literally the best combo: model + steel + scale material + scale color + edge type. It's not my favorite model, but it does so many things so well, it's my avatar: The Magnacut Manix . Great blade shape, great lock, excellent steel, safe ergos, allows forwar...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

Isn’t it interesting that the majority of traditional pocket knives featured multiple blades (usually 2 or 3), but modern folders are almost exclusively just one blade? It is interesting. Dad carried a 3-blade stockman with clip, sheepfoot and spey. He liked having particular blades for different p...

Re: Beware: Fake Online Knife Shops!

You'll find loads of scam sites discussed under General Discussion > Spyderco Counterfeits.

I don't think anybody's taken the time to make a list, and I imagine it'd be difficult to do, because they probably pop up and go out of business rapidly.

That's interesting. A great example of Spyderco attention to detail. I wonder what the 'salt marking' process is.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

Haven't found myself carrying much else since I picked this up. Really happy with the M2LW design and implementation, and thus far after a couple weeks of use and sharpening I've been enjoying magnacut a lot. Ditto that. The MC M2LW could easily be my last and only knife. It does so many things rig...
