Had a new Smock land at my house today. It has the new style pivot. Compared to the original the screw is much larger, stands proud of the plane of the scales and has 5 dots around the Torx center. Not sure what to think....
In August 1987, I was issued with a new Spyderco Mariner in black as my duty operational blade in my role as a tactical team member. It accompanied me on over 300 separate operations and after 3 decades upon retiring from my career, the knife...
I meant to post this a while back and i'm just now getting to uploading pics..
But anyway the first time i reprofiled my Caly 3, during the shaping phase while hitting the edge with a coarse diamond stone, i noticed the metal powder that grinds off was...
I ordered a green jade totem pendant from happythoughts.com , which I intend to use to propose to my girlfriend. They took payment, but their email and phone number are both dead. Their website still allows orders and shows items in stock. Are they still...
I’m new to all of this but wondering if there is one, quintessential representation of the brand. What’s the model most synonymous with Spyderco? Thanks!
Just received manix 2 xl in black dlc. Knife is is not heavy, action of lock is smooth, though not as fast as an axis lock. Definitely want to keep it, but if you are thinking of getting one, you should know it really is xl, lol! It is long, not thick,...
Background: I own five Native 5's. I recently picked up a brown G10 / M390 Native Chief because I was wanting something a bit longer. The Chief is great, but it's a bit too long, and by not adding height to scales and blade the proportions are thrown off....
Hey All,
I recently got a Para 3 in 20CV and love it. However, its a bit big for my uses - mostly opening packages and sometimes cutting down cardboard. I work in retail and mostly worry I'm scaring my customers or coworkers when I flick it open, hahaha....
sal has informed via the: So, Sal, is the Caly3 model extinct ?! thread, that the maker of the Calypso Jr has found the bi-directional fish scale FRN tooling, and that they can produce a Sprint Run of the model.
I had considered attempting to come up with my own unique steel compositions, but just wanting to do so doesn't mean that you have something unique to offer. However, spending all this time on...
In my part of the knife community, every knife company should start any introduction to a knife of interest with the blade steel and its hrc. That is a world of pertinent information. This is the nine tenths of the required knowledge lying below the...
I would love to see the Caly3 being brought back as a lightweight or even with some fancy scales. I might be wrong but I remember Sal saying that this was a model refined in time with love. I don’t think it was a poor seller but…who knows… your guess is...
I've missed just about every sprint run I've been interested in. Either it released while I was sleeping or at work. Does anyone know when this milli 2 sprint run will drop? I have 5 pages to sites that will have it once it drops open and the knife in my...
I received my Manix 2 lightweights in Magnacut not long ago. I noticed that both knives have a laser engraving/etching/stamp etc. whatever you want to call it on the tang of the blade. Does anyone else have this stamp on there's?? You are...
thank you for all your kind replies to my first thread (Recommendations for a European traditionalis), I've now got my first Spyderco knife and I'm going to tell you all the things you already know about anyways, but I'm just pretty...
Hi, I have found a few long lost knives from a collection I had several years ago.
It was a set of three mini spyderco knives. Unfortunatly I have only the two smaller ones.
They are in perfect condition.
Are they worth anything?
Why the name? Where was it derived from? I only own one Spyderco knife. My CO8GS Harpy G-10. Purchased it from a knife dealer NIB for $80 last May. Its came in handy many times for my line of work. Wouldnt part with it for the world.
Dr Larrin did some extensive testing on 8Cr13MoV which helps put this budget material into perspective in its capabilities compared to other materials.
While there was lots of talk about real world testing being more important than controlled testing....
Knife friends I have a Mariner that has me stumped. It has the vent holes on both sides and was made in SEKI. What confuses me is that it has some black left in the untouched areas. The black looks to come from the factory. I took some pics and hopefully...
First I need to introduce myself, since this is my first post.
My name is Bernhard, I'm from a small European country named Austria. I've been into knives my whole life, roughly 35 years by now, but I've been interested mostly in traditional...
Hat's off to you Larrin. I'm carrying a Manix with Magnacut. Very sharp. Took a beautiful edge. Also doing very well in our corrosion test tank, after 10 days. Gonna be fun.
sal
i know the manix is a little less popular than some other models (even...
Hey there, name is Cory and I've been a member of the forum for about 10 years but gave up on being a knife hobbiest 6-7 years ago and when I tried to get back on my old account I couldn't remember the password and I lost my original email years and...
Hi! With the Dragonfly being an EDC MVP, whether as a primary or secondary carry, I finally decided to get the S30V model. I'm just not sure that I'm man enough for the pink scales. So I've been looking at other options (besides just dyeing them)....
