A few drops of oil should be fine. My sage is in my top 10% of smoothest spydies, probably close to my PM2's.

Sage series or delica 4, maybe a caly 3. If you wanted the same lock, the sage 3.

Seems legit to me too. The bolts are the right one, not like the counterfeit. Plus from what I saw they don't ship with the storage bag, only Spyderco box. The spyderco website picture seems to have a screwdriver screw instead of the T6 or 8, mine is like that as well. I also got the pouch. Any ide...

Looks fine. Many fakes have the pivot screw the same size as the others, yours is the regular larger one.

The native lightweight is a beauty. It probably won't slice quite as well as an FFG, but I'd still consider it, as it's pretty close.

I had a really dumb moment once loading stuff into my trunk in a grocery store parking lot. I had to pull out a 200 piece Craftsman ratchet set to get some things in the trunk, and I left it sitting there in the parking spot. About a mile down the road I realized what I'd done, and hauled tail back...

Civilian Q's

Hey! I recently picked up a good priced civilian at the cost of a slightly broken tip. It definitely looks like it could be reground a bit into a tip. What's the best way to fix this? Will spyderco fix it at a fee if I send it in? I also picked up a waved Matriarch 2, and while both knives are super...

You should definitely get a caly 3.5, one of the sage series and a paramilitary 2.

Amazon had a lightning sale on black dragonfly 2's a day or so ago. I think they're still hovering around $40 there.

Excellent knife, I have a stainless steel one, but the closed construction makes it hard to open. I wish I had picked up an FRN version.
