Spyderco Forums

Forgive me if this is being too nosy but is it possible for someone to post pictures on this forum that show the machines and the actual production steps as a line of Spyderco knives are produced? If not, it's okay, but as someone who collects and enjoys the Spyderco knives, it would be cool to see...

There are so many internet sites and books claiming America is due for an imminent collapse, that soon things will be like the "Mad Max Scenario": gangs of roving thugs attacking and stealing, starving masses, every man for himself, and all of that. Then there are those who claim that you...

Amen, brother. I have found the same thing.

I would like to address these 2 statements directly. Please expand on how the use of fertilizer equates directly to animal use/death? Also, if a person's lifestyle choice is mostly positive, but has a small drawback or area of inconsistency, does that negate/invalidate the overall result of their l...

To me it's a better "test" of the pivot than anything else. Check out this video on the Wildsteer WX folder. He pounds it into a door with a mallet and then hammers a big slit with it and it's barely scratched. Now whether thats a reasonable test of strength or not it definitely speaks vo...

I know this issue can become very controversial but I would like honest discussion on it. What are your thoughts everyone? My stance is this: I have no problem with someone choosing to eat only a plant based diet and not eat meat or animal products, that is their right and their choice. Myself, I e...

I was reading about this explorer who lived with the Inuit/Eskimos decades ago and lived on their diet which if I read correctly consisted almost completely of meat and blubber/fat from the various animals they hunted, without alot of plant and vegetable matter, and he was healthy, as far as he was...

I will not drop the name but a well-known knife company that manufactures very good quality blades is known to use their knives to pierce the steel of car doors, to show how strong and sharp and resilient they are. I'm asking all of you fellow knife enthusiasts here: Is this test a true measure of ...

[quote="SolidState"]What I don't think is happening is a size scale understanding. A carbon-carbon bond is about 0.15 nanometers. A cell is generally >1000 nm. Atoms are generally < 0.5nm across. Our current minimal resolution using electron beams and EUV is 8 nm on only a single material....

Is it basically an issue of not enough market demand for that particular model of knife versus the cost of having to produce them and the cost of manufacturing those production tools?

I wish the Caspian Salt would be rerun :confused:

Thank you, SolidState. I would like your take on this question: Starting with what we have now, the current state of the art in nano and micro technology, AND, the advancing fields of genetic engineering and protein design and biotechnology, what is a good pathway, from how you see things, to get f...

Something else: Please share the various tactics and methods, in using said knives, would be most effective in fighting off wild beasts. Example: Say I'm in the back country and I'm charged by a full grown grizzly, and all I have on me is a Pacific Salt folder. Would I make a loud "rarrrr"...

First of all, I do NOT advocate someone intentionally endangering themselves in order to test any of this. That being said, I would like your feedback: In having to fight, hand to hand, the following known wild and deadly animals, what particular Spyderco knife would you consider would be best in f...

It is evil and nonsensical. They already have laws that go after a truly violent criminal but the real agenda is to disarm the public completely. They push anti knife laws. It is a direct attack against the individual freedom and the Constitutional rights of citizens. They want to ban guns and lock...
