Re: Chaparral LW in colors, please
The highly refined and perfected Chaparral deserves all the praise and love that the model receives. I truly believe it is Spyderco’s best knife design and one the best knife designs in history. It is so great to see it being used as a platform and all the variations it receives. That being said I a...

Re: Mantra Detent Ball
Totally agreee with you Tim. Please switch over to ceramic balls Sal. It’s frustrating to see threads like these about steel detent balls when the fix is so bloody simple. Why persist with steel when ceramic is so widely available? It can’t be cost, surely? A chain is only as strong as its weakest l...

Re: Who else is excited about the FRN Sage that Spyderco plans to make?
Being a huge Sage 5 fan , actually it’s my favorite Spyderco, I am very excited about this. I do hope and suggest for the current Sage 5 as well, that Taichung implement a detent ball ramp like the PM2 has. At the very least, give the edge of the tang more of a chamfer so that the detent ball can tr...

Re: Spydiechef question
An over travel stop is really unnecessary imo. In the 20 years the frame lock has existed, I have never seen any reports of anyone over extending a frame lock. Given the varying quality levels and ubiquity of the frame lock would think it is a nonissue. Also refer to the following thread: https://ww...

Re: How good is the Chaparral - and is the Ti worth it?
Great poem!! Love the Chaparral, :rolleyes: so I dug up this poem I wrote about it. :o What a seems a very long time ago. Living with the Chaparral. In my left pocket, it replaced the Sage. It was a desperate attempt to quail the rage. Of all these nonsensical fools. That don’t get; that knives ar...

Re: 2017 - Lightweight/FRN Chaparral
My CF Chaparral that I purchased a few years ago has a stiff lock bar. Are the newer CF or FRN chaparrals still stiff?

Re: Steel Retention, Stropping & Garage Science
Useful information, thanks. Hope you can do other steels. The note about XHP and D2 were also interesting.

Remove lanyard hole on Para3 so that clip placement is improved.

Re: Which Spyderco is in "The Martian"?
I also noticed it, definitely had a round or slightly oval hole. It did not look like any spyderco I had ever seen before, I think the closest model was perhaps a Lionspy. Seemed like a liner lock to me. Quality of the knife didnt look very good.

What angle did you sharpen the Native at on your Edge Pro? Did you remove a lot of material? Did you have a heavy burr while sharpening it? You should not need a super polished edge to prevent chipping on S30v. I think the issue is rather, if you have a very coarse edge you may experience chipping. ...

Here's a post I posted over at bladeforums. The point of the post being to not judge s30v or any steel for that matter by its factory edge. I bet the majority of negative s30v posts were from people judging the steel by its factory edge. ------------------ I bought an S30v Native from Walmart not to...
