Spyderco Forums

If I was fortunate enough to find a soulmate in this turbulent time I would only carry some of Spyderco's finest to that big day. 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...

It's been quite a few years ago that I had 2 of the combo edged Police models. And I believe they were both from the ATS-55 era if my memory is correct. I do happen to be sort of a fan of Spyderco's combo edged models. And especially with the bigger models like the Police, Endura and even the older ...

This Brother "Brock O Lee" has been a great contributor over the years. And today he is celebrating another year here on planet Earth. Yep today is his Birthday and I hope that many of you do wish the good Brother a very Happy Birthday. We are so blessed to have such a great community. Aga...

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. But Jim I truly wish you a great B-Day. I hope all is well on your section of the planet. Always enjoy your posts my friend.

A Most interesting subject matter. You hear these labels for the generations being thrown around a lot in conversations recently. I think that there is a case to be made that most of the people who lived through the World War II era may have been the toughest generation this country was ever blessed...

Anyone else expecting their team to totally fumble the draft tonight? No, just Patriots fans? Got it! 👌🤦‍♂️ I think the Chiefs did better than I thought they would with the 2024 Draft. They are already calling Jared Wiley ( Tight End from TCU) a "Baby Kelce" and Wide Receiver Xavier Worth...

Yep, can confirm the amazon screws linked above work better than the stock screws. For that matter, any M2x.4 x 4mm screw will work. The black coated marine grade screws I might buy at some point can be found at accu-components.com for reference. But shipping from the UK is $27 so its not really wo...

Thank you so very much "Spyderwebs" for all the work you did concerning the availability of extra screws for the C-60 pocket clip. I just recently talked to Spyderco Warranty and Repair about this subject in order to get some extra screws for the C-60 Cruwear Ayoob pocket clips and they to...

I Still say that the Jason Breeden models that Spyderco did over a decade ago both could have done far more better on the sales charts if they had been available in full SE. The C-111 Captain and the Breeden RESCUE both should have had TEETH from day one IMO. Also other great Spyderco models like th...

I am super happy that they gave us another sprint of the Catcherman. It’s a model that I never had a chance to own so I’m grateful for the opportunity! Given the intent of the design, my first choice would be PE, but the CE of the sprint doesn’t bother me since the CE portion is close enough to the...

It's about time for a plain edge high edge retention steel hawkbill! 🤠 But, I wouldn't mind a full SE Catcherman. I'd use the heck out of it in the kitchen. I hear you Bro!! I've been beating the drum for a G-10 handled Hawkbill for some time now and along with a premium blade steel it would sure p...

I'd probably be interested, if it were a Salt. No non-Salt blade or hardware, please. Edited to say I like your idea of introducing "it's about time" threads. I would have no objection if they did a Salt Version of the Catcherman in full SE. Actually I would like it a lot I'm sure. If you...

What I never want to see, however, is my doctor wanting to do surgery with a serrated edge. Or to shave with a straight razor with a serrated edge :hot-face . Yeah let's hope we never see either one of these. Serrated edges do indeed have their place for various cutting jobs to be sure. But again t...

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 by. In this first thread I was wanting to see h...

Nitric acid and citric acid are both used for passivation, but you already have pitting. Hey "Larrin" are there any "passivation" methods that can be implemented by a lay person? Because I feel that corrosion is enemy of every good blade. Also over the years I've had good result...

I tried serrations for hunting and personally didn't like them. But I also don't like serrations in general. I've heard this type of comment from a lot of outdoorsmen over the years. And to some extent I can see why they come to this conclusion. But do keep in mind that the serration pattern on a b...

Most interesting that you bring up CPM S60V ( 440V) blade steel. I do agree with several of your observations regarding issues like being a nightmare to sharpen and being somewhat undesirable for PE blades. But I still regard 440V as one of my personal top 5 favorite blade steels for full SE models....

Unfortunately, some of the SE Ayoobs were more like wavy PE. I know mine was. Otherwise, yeah, they would have been great. That could most certainly be corrected if they elected to produce more C-60 Ayoob models. I've got one of those slightly altered versions you speak of. It's has however been an...

Even though I've been really intrigued by a couple of the newer Supersteel blades in the Spyderco line up I've always kept quite a few Spyderco VG-10 models in my user arsenal. VG-10 is a great dependable "Hard Use" blade steel that is relatively easy to maintain. You can get a really nice...

Happy Birthday to my good Spyder-Brother "MUSHROOM". Even though him and I don't agree sometimes I'm still glad he is a member of the Spyderville community. I hope he has a fabulous day!
