Spyderco Forums

Another manufacturer's solution pulled out of the previous thread on the topic which I linked to above. It appears to be implemented without liners. http://i.imgur.com/203gD9I.jpg Personally, I find most of the current Native 5 models to have no rock and really don't need stop pins. I do have one n...

The Coast Guard Autonomy has machined recesses to allow the mounting of a wire clip, but does not include a clip. Either the previous owner added one or a clip was mistakenly attached as an exception to our policy.

Jim, there are no sales on the Spyderco Forum.

Hey, All: Great question and cool discussion. Having designed a couple of knives with internal stop pins, I think it's important to remember a few things. First, stop pins that ride in arcuate slots can provide one or both of two functions--limiting the travel of the blade in the open and/or closed ...

Dear Wartstein: That's correct. They are also made in two different countries by two different makers using different sharpening methods. The angled shoulders present the challenge. Thicker blade stock makes that challenge even more difficult. I'm just trying to point out that there are a lot of dyn...

Hey, All: Interesting topic. I am a big fan of full-length edges without sharpening choils; however, as a knife designer, I am also sensitive to the unique balance of the design itself and the sharpening methods of the factory. If you look closely at the OP's original post, you'll notice that most o...

Depending upon the condition of your edge, the abrasives you use, and the time you invest, the Sharpmaker can do much more.

Need photo of ChicagoJimbo...goodness, how does one grind that much steel and keep the temper? https://nordicknives.com/cdn/shop/products/CTF-2122_large.jpg?v=1642449680 Grind a little, dip in water a lot, drink a little (not the dipping water, something more enjoyable)... I also leave a "tab&...

Dear Ramzar: For the record, the 3.2-inch length on the Yojimbo 2 was a result of my designing the handle length to be comparable to that of a closed Delica. I have been back-pocket carrying knives for 50 years--since before Sal invented clip carry. If I am in an environment that frowns on visible c...

Thank you, Bolster, for sharping my post on the other thread here. The best I can do is explain my logic. If it suits your personal needs, great. If not, Spyderco has other knife options that likely will. For me the greatest MicroJimbo "win" happened a couple of days ago. I was walking thr...

Where is the index finger supposed to locate, on a MicroJimbo? At point A or B? I'm sure you could do either, but for which location was the MicroJimbo designed? How does Mr. Janich hold it for its intended purpose, index forward (A) or index back (B)? Dear Bolster: For my purposes, typically B. If...
