600 ????

Say guys I am a little perplexed here. On the Gray PE " Wayne Goddard". Beautiful knife by the way. But I have already got 2 of each: the plain edge & combo edge. They claim that there are only 600 of each of them made. I find that kind of difficult to believe. I got both of mine over ...

Renegade imposter???

Very interesting. I have an older Renegade that I carry for everyday. It has the aforementioned combo-edge. It also has a stainless liner. I went and looked at an older Renegade and my older Blackhawk ( both in the old black & white boxes) and neither one of them have a liner. I know I can hear ...

DYAD Forever!!!!

Yeah! you guessed it. My DYAD would certainly be the last Spyder that I would let go of. You have the best of both :spyder: worlds. One blade of Spyderedge which easily equals the old Mariner and a very agile Persian style plain edge blade that would be good for a single bladed knife. The edge holdi...

Bison-YES!!

Yes sir I got to see the "Bison" prototype first hand at the Spirit of Steel knife show in Dallas TX last month. The Glessers ( Sal & Eric) asked me my opinion and I gave it a thumbs up all the way. I think that the Bison would be a premium working/hunting knife with a partially serrat...

Barrel-Bolt clip removal??

The 2 nickels sounds like a novel idea for the clip removal. I used a monster Craftsman screwdriver to remove my Spyderhawk clip. Like I said in the other forum I would like to know if you can get a proper tool to remove the barrel-bolt clip from my Spyderhawk. I would hope the Great :spyder: factor...

Clip Tools??

Yes and amen to all of the above. I have an Endura and a Spyderhawk. I think that both of these have the same handle and clip ( correct me if I am wrong). The one hurdle I have with these models is that if you need to remove the clip for some obscure reason I find them hard to take off and put back ...

Big Spyders???

Say Jimmy Dean: Did you mean that you would also pay for a Spyder "Kukri" or Big Bowie if they made one? If you do then I will go as far as saying that we ought to challenge the Great :spyder: factory to reinvent the "big boys". Could you imagine a Big Bowie with S30V? :spyder: :D

Spyderench #1

The SPYDERENCH is number 1 in my book. There is one made by a prominent Swiss company that I really like. I do wish that they would make a successor to it. I am sure by now that the GReat :spyder: factory has something else on the drawing board by now. If anyone wants to know what my 2nd pick is: my...

Galley V 600f

If anyone knows where I can purchase another GALLEY V 600F sharpening kit then please let me know. I agree that there maybe also should be longer stones for the 204 sharpmaker kit to accomodate the bigger, longer kitchen type & bowie knives. Just a suggestion. I really love my GALLEY V. It is al...

Cat's Eye stones

I just measured my "Cat's Eye Stones" that came with my GALLEY V 600F sharpening kit. My stones measure an exact 12 inches. I didn't even know that there were different size stones for that particular kit. I first bought my 600F complete kit about 4 years ago and the 12 inch stones came wi...

Go DYAD

Welcome to the Forum Denny. I am rather new myself ( only a month). My recommendation for your next :spyder: and I think there are at least 2 collectors that would agree with me. You definitely want to get a big DYAD ( C-44 P&S). That is my favorite EDC ( every day carry) but I only take it with...

Big COLD STEEL not bad

I will say that I used to deal in COLD STEEL but like the other comrades I was brought ultimately to :spyder: because of the overall quality. I think ( in my humble opinion) that Cold Steel is strickly a knife for hard users. I don't think any of them were ever purposed to be of a collector caliber ...

I would really love to have a PE version my own self. I am also on the hunt for a PE Spyderhawk ( My very favorite of al...

Yojimbo

I finally broke down and bought a Janich "Yojimbo" with CPM S30V. I like the Dodo so much and the Yojimbo has a handle very much like Mr. Dodo. I should be getting it in about 1 week. I guess the " Ronin" is pretty much the fixed blade version of that knife. Does anybody else not...

Hello all. While on a cruise, my red handled spyderedge Endura (the old style with the molded clip) was stolen out of my shaving kit bag. I reported it to the cruise line and they searched my stateroom like I was the thief. Now after several weeks, I get a letter that says that they can't prove tha...

ATS-55 Born Again

ATS-55 is IMO a very underrated steel. You're gonna laugh, but I love it too. I had great results with it. I have 2 of those Dyads ( the big one and the little micarta one) and both of them have ATS-55 and I find no fault with it at all. I do like S30V a little better, I must admit. JD Spydo :) :sp...
