Re: Grit estimation on Soyderco Benchstones

It seems like these ceramic stones of Spyderco's are truly unique among most other sharpening stones on the market. For touch ups and minor sharpening jobs I find them to be indispensable. I take some of my Spyderco sharpening tools with me no matter where I go. The 204 Sharpmaker is a genius idea. ...

Re: Be safe over Memorial Day

I was doing some visiting Saturday (05-25-24) with some friends in the city and on our way out of the city back to the suburbs where I live I was literally getting fearful. The driving habits of some people is near complete insanity. Two guys driving "Crotch Rocket" type motorcycles were d...

Re: Salt Dreams

I wish they would do a Salt Version of the C-60 Ayoob and a Salt version of the original C-44 Dyad. A Salt version of Spyderco's legendary double-bladed icon would be really great for outdoor activities. I'm still not going to give up on asking for a Salt Version of the original TEMPERANCE 1 model. ...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

A redo of this would be nice, I'd buy it again https://i.imgur.com/5tnh8iG.jpg That's got to be the Micro-Dyad? All of the Dyads were not only unique but well designed and very usable as well. At this time it seems like a Salt Series Dyad or any other new double bladed model that Spyderco could com...

Re: A New Thread For Axes, Hatchets, Hawks & Other Striking Tools

Nice! What tree is that? Looks like a fairly dense hardwood. I believe you are correct because it most definitely looks like a hardwood tree of some sort. It's hard to tell exactly from those pics. My guess is that it's maybe in the "oak" family. The bark appears to be that of one of the ...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

Also that Micarta version of the bigger C-44 Dyad and the Micarta version of the Dyad Jr. are two of the most solid feeling folders I've ever owned. If nothing else it's high time for a Sprint Run of the C-44 and the C-39 Micarta versions of the Dyad. There are so many new folks here that have never...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?

Well I guess I'm just a bit biased because most of you who know me also know many of my favorite "old school" Spyders. A Sprint Run that came to fruition a couple of years ago is in my opinion the best combination of blade steels and handle materials. I'm speaking of the C-60 Ayoob Sprint ...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

Isn’t it interesting that the majority of traditional pocket knives featured multiple blades (usually 2 or 3), but modern folders are almost exclusively just one blade? It’s as if all modern folders are descended from the Buck 110 folding hunter, or maybe the Gerber LST. Yeah I've thought about tha...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

Id like to see it. I carry a PE and SE eveeyday for work anyway. 1 tool would make my pockets lighter. Maybe too big of a wish but id love to just see a whole rigging/ sailing tool. PE with some sort of pointy tip, some sort of blunt tip SE, and a marlin spike. Basically the tusk with an extra blad...

Re: Serrated Edge for Hunting?

I just started a thread raising the possibility of seeing the Dyad models return at some point. For those of you who are new to Spyderco the Dyad models were a double-bladed folder with one full SE blade and one full PE blade. I do believe that this might make the idea of a SALT Series Dyad to be qu...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

I agree 100% with pretty much everything you said. I'd prefer a Salt, but anything would be an automatic buy. It's been quite a while back but I do remember Spyderco talking about the possibility of a SALT version of the Dyad. But I had also heard that for financial reasons they elected not to go f...

I'd actually like to see a Dyad featuring a comboedge blade and, yes, a saw (most will know that Soyderco had a folding "Spyder"saw in their lineup back in the days). Even started a poll on this once https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?t=82630 The "SAW" idea is rather inter...

Any Double Bladed Desires?

One Spyderco model that I cut my teeth on in the late 90s/early 2000s was my beloved C-44 Dyad(The Bigger one). I immediately feel in love with the concept of having a full SE and a full PE blade in one folder. Even the smaller Dyad Junior I found great for use as an EDC blade where they have dracon...

I've looked at it a couple of times. But it isn't what I need or want in a fixed blade. I'm sure it's great for certain applications but I mainly use fixed blades for outdoor activities. I'm still holding out hope for a Salt Version of the TEMPERANCE 1 model along with SE & PE both. But if they ...

My two suggestions right of the top of my head would be the Cruwear C-60 Ayoob or one of the more recent Para2 models. I don't think you could go wrong with either one of...
