I have seen a few Spydercos at Gunshows. I don't think you'll have a problem telling if they're real or not. I do think you'll have a problem buying one for less than you can get it online + shipping. I have never seen a Delica/Endura in a brick & mortar store at a price that enticed me to buy it.

I gave a waved Delica to a friend and he sent it to 4Bush and had the scales cerakoted pink for his wife. It turned out awesome. Jeff does quality work.

I don't know that I would have a Spyderco in my top 10 knives of all time either, but only of you include customs. If it were only production, Spyderco would probably have half or more of the list. The fact that Benchmade and Microtech made the list kinda means that our opinions on knives are so dif...

My greatest Spydie find was a Chinook II for $75 NIB from a random outdoor forum.

It can also help for opening but since they have a hole, not really necessary. I like this design and have always wanted one. I would have to get a custom Elephant leather sheath from Filip though :cool: . This was actually the first friction folder I ever saw a couple years ago even though it's an ...

When it's open it gives your hand something to lock it in place while it's open. Sometimes there's also a hole in it so you can put a screw/pin in to convert it to a fixed blade when open.

GB fits my hand better than the M2. Plus I like the looks better and F&F + Action is sooo good. M2 doesn't really do it for me though, so I might not be the person to ask.

HK45/P30 are the most comfortable pistols I've ever held. Haven't shot one. Part of the reason I landed on the PPQ since it has similar ergos is signifantly cheaper and I can't find a single bad thing about it other than cost of mags which you would have with the HK anyway. In my area at least, 45 i...

Yeah, I think they're getting better and better. I got lucky though w/ mine I think (#19). Although mine is 0561 which were run after the first batch 0f 0560 so might have had some stuff worked out by then.

My lock was sticky, but I pencilled the crap out of the lockbar face like a month or so ago and it's been fine since. Glad to hear they took care of it for you though.

I think $65-$75, but I'm not sure. All I know is that the LSCF is $85 and I assume it's more expensive than G10.

Southard is gonna be pricey too I bet. Southard, South Fork, Tuff, Techno, Szabo are all going to be good, but based on size and intended purposes I think the Southard hits the majority or users. The Szabo is bad a** but not a ton of people looking for a folder to chop Orcs up with. Techno is pricey...
