Spyderco Counterfeits, Clones, Replicas, etc. A place to list and reference all Spyderco counterfeits, clones, and replicas that are found. Anything that isn't a legitimate Spyderco fits in this area.
To kick off this thread, I'm going to use 10V from the rivers edge run on the pm2. I tested the more recent Para 3 and it matched the pm2 in terms of wear resistance. The 10V runs have been compared to the bento...
Just got my monthly email from tactical elements. They have some rare Spydies.
Two Spot neck knives, two vintage clip it Delicas, a gunting trainer, and a salsa with a collector # (why I didn't get it).
I wish Spyderco would send a YouTuber one of these to film a tutorial. Has it been a year since it came out? The method they describe in the manual seems designed to cut your off-hand when you switch sides, so I switch holding the knife between right and...
Curious to hear if anyone else is up for a Resilience in CPM-M4?
I'm up for at least a pair. The M4 Tenacious has a wonderfully thin grind behind-the-edge, and has been a joy to use, without having to modify. M4 is a killer steel, to boot, and surely...
Post about your sharpenings. Brand, grit, abrasives, grit progression, desired edge finish, decision making in sharpening, whatever you want. Might be interesting to see what people use for certain tasks, and will give insight into the results of others'...
Seki FRN lockbacks (Endura, delica, endela, stretch 2lw, ect..) are my favorite spyderco models, the combo of comfortable handles and great cutting geometry really works well for me. However most of mine have lock rock when really bearing down on a...
Sal has mentioned many times the past experience with S60V/440V and the steel not being able to achieve a useable high working hardness and also being miserable to sharpen at lower hardness.
It seems with CPM S60V, things have changed in recent years...
I noticed a little bit of rust underneath the scale on my H2 Dragonfly salt, so I decided to take it apart and see how bad it was. I saw that the back lock has several spots of rust on it. This knife hasn’t been exposed to any chemicals and it’s only been...
What are the Spyderco CTS XHP knives? I recently pulled out my Bowie and so enjoyed using it. With all the new steels out there I kind forgot about it.
I read it likes a polish, going to try that.😀
I purchased the stretch XL H2 SE when DACK had it for $75 on a whim. I’m glad I did as I now understand what all the fuss is about with the SE and the model. There is a lot of blade for the handle size. I’m a plain edge kind of guy, but the SE blade seems...
I usually touch on this subject at least once a year. And we've gotten some really interesting results as to the models that folks would love to have in FULL SE. After all Spyderco really made their name and put themselves on the map by producing arguably...
Still, whenever I use my Chap FRN I wish there would be a longer version of it, or just any model in the Endela / Stretch size with both such a thin, slicey ffg blade (2mm) and such a thin handle and by that...
Although not earth shattering, a quick mod to my Yojimbo made it “just right:” not too light, not too heavy, not too grippy (pocket shredding) and not too slippy. I used it with both original scales and both Flytanium Copper scales, but this half and half...
Due to significant increases in material and operational costs, earlier this year, Spyderco found it necessary to make adjustments to all our pricing policies. As part of this restructuring, we will also...
I'm starting a new series of threads and I'm hoping that others will share my desires. The Title i.e. It's About Time For: indicates the desire for the return of certain past models that have gained cult status or consistent popularity as time has gone...
Sorry to be impatient, but are there any updates regarding the Bodacious?
I've never been so excited about a folder's release. I've carried a Military (S30V, S110V, and 52100) since 2005 or so, and I believe that the Bodacious will be replacing my...
With the implementation of the Endela, the Endura family got a middle ground model sized between Endura and Delica (though as a matter of fact closer to the Endura than the Delica)
I think it would be great if in the (backlock) Salt line the gap between...
I’m confused by the Chinook line, have several questions. If you can answer any, grateful am I.
1) Why did this model have so many iterations - what was being changed or improved over time?
2) C1 seems to be sought after. Just rareity, or steel, or...
This will be my ongoing experiences with all 3 salts as my work steels...
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion involving the now 3 salt steels, and I've seen a lot of opinions of thoughts on them all. I just wanted to share my experiences of real...
I’m sorry but in my opinion these prices are getting a little too high. Spyderco is one of the best and they have to make a profit. However when the Chinese s35 tenacious is going for $120 I think that’s a little much. In 2018 I bought my DLC PM2 for...
Well, I feel like a little kid right now just waiting for Santa, in this case the Mail person. I am waiting on 3 Spydercos: a Delica super blue, Cat G10, and Pacific salt spyderedge. What's in the mail on your side of the woods?
I recently purchased Ripp’s Garage Tech scales for my two Spyderco Shamans. The scales are the “Spyderco Shaman Skinny Tero Tuf Scale Set”, one in gray and one in OD green for my stonewash blade and my DLC blade, respectively.
Hello friends!Special respect to Sal for the great knives! I've been using Military for a long time - this is my favorite EDC. I'm a doctor and knives are my hobby.I recently got a Civilian but without a clip. What are the options to purchase an original...
here's a look at the tip profile & a comparison with a pe pacific salt 2 tip. this pacific salt has a thinned out edge but the tip is otherwise stock, not one of my thinned out...
Presentation
The box and packaging here leave a great first impression. You get the sense you've purchased something that's very high quality. Custom fit box so the knife doesn't move...
Does quality of back lock in Japanese Spyderco improved? Around 2008-2010, I bought Police SS and Endura 4 FRN, both of them got very disappointing vertical blade play very quickly, without even abusing it. Some guys who purchased Endura at the same time,...
I've got a Manix 2, one of the 15V BBB sprint runs. I noticed that it has some vertical blade-play/lock-rock, and I can't figure out why. I have thoroughly cleaned it out and everything, but it doesn't seem to go away.
I was inquiring about getting one of my fixed blades DLC coated and received an unexpected response from the maker. This got me thinking, is there any impact to the performance of Spyderco's DLC coated blades due to the high temperatures of the DLC...
I was browsing the BladeHQ site and noticed that just today they put up a coming soon page for a Shaman with black micarta scales and an XHP blade. Does anyone know anything about that? More specifically, is it a sprint run, a new variant, like the...
Hello forumites, i would like to sharpen my double edged clinch pick on the sharpmaker. It fell out of the sheath while changing clothes. It fell on it´s tip and a tiny part chipped off. I would like to sharpen it on the sharpmaker but tips aren´t my...
Just throwing this out there. There's been 2 iteration of the Para 3 with Cruwear, but none in CruCarta. Why hasn't someone (*cough* DLT) ever ordered one up as a sprint? My 2 favorite patterns these days are the Native and the Caly but a close 3rd is the...
