Spyderco Forums

Saw a MicroJimbo on instagram. I think it is full flat grind.

Sal, have you considered a reprint of The Spyderco Story or new book retelling how all this, Spyderco, came to be? I’ve been listening to a lot of knife podcasts lately, specifically tales from Bob Terzuola and I realize that there is so much history new knife aficionados would want to hear or read ...

Lots of good advice here so feel free to ignore mine. As a fellow large man, I have similar issues with car seats etc. I also scratched my first new car with a pocket clip because I walked to close to it forgetting that I have the knife on me. Here was my solution: Discipline. I simply trained mysel...

I had a sweet hookup on all sorts of different media blasting but then that friend got a different job lol. It was fun while it lasted, got all kinds of car parts done for free. If I still had the option I might give this a go since I really like peel ply. Where I live there’s a local business call...

Very cool! Those turned out pretty sweet. I like the G.I. Joe etch too. I just received a new sand blast cabinet for Christmas, so I’ll definitely be doing some blasting here in the near future. LC, what type of glass bead media do you prefer to use? I wish I could tell you specifically what I used...

If you have access to a bead blaster you can recondition g10 to look and feel almost like peel ply. First I modded my nightstick because it was just too shiny and slippery. After the bead blast it felt much better in hand and I liked the subdued look. I liked it so much I did the same process to my ...

Both of this guys examples look quite nice: https://youtu.be/hX6anl3Crho Oh and it’s now Out of Stock again Mine looks like that too, as long as I keep it moving. When you take your time and look closely or take a picture you would notice the flaws. Admittedly, if mine had arrived without a bunch o...

Mine just arrived and it has many of the issues from the blade forums post. The finish on the blade has irregular marks on one side that could either be scratches or be an uneven finish. I’m not surprised though as I’ve come to expect this sort of thing from Japanese Spyderco knives. I’ll likely tum...

Why does everyone seem to think liner locks should cost less than a frame lock? There are more parts to machine and match up on a liner lock. Makes sense they would cost the same if not more.

My good buddy just finished a hunting trip where him and his crew bagged two moose. Sadly, he forgot his skinning knife so he what he had on him at the time; a bnib micarta pm2. He’s not on the forum so I’m sharing this pic for him. When he sent me the photo I actually thought he had one of those re...

I can’t resist an orange folder so I snagged a wharncliffe para 2 from cutlery shoppe.

https://i.imgur.com/BKnUMBy.jpg Anyone else’s like this? At first I thought there must be an extra washer on one side but when I took it apart I saw/remembered that the FRN version doesn’t use washers. The mold itself acts like a washer. I have the PE yellow version and mine is fine. Equal spacing ...

Happy to say the new green ukpk is in the mail!

I am a right hand tip down kind of guy and I think the choil on the original Military is the best one on any Spydie. I like the comp lock but don’t think it is the greatest lock ever. Full liners add nothing for me personally. I see nothing about this knife that is an improvement. I’ll buy it and t...

Nice reveal Spyderco! Bit of something for everyone really. As for me, I’m definitely grabbing the new pits and the ukpk.

I’m in. Gimme the peel ply version like radioactive mentioned please!

Bump. Sal?

Did you wear gloves?

I dig the stovepipe but looks to be too small for me. Specs indicate it’s just a bit bigger than the techno.
