Spyderco Forums

Delica 4 and Ladybug 3. Both SE.

Serrated Ladybug for nearly 5 years. Bought lots of other cool Spydercos, but the bug was so small, I'd carry that, too.

My first Spyderco was a serrated Endura with the tip broken off. My friend had found it at a rest stop and broke the tip off prying the lid off of a paint can. It blew my mind how sharp it was. I remember how shiny and mirror like the blade was. That broken knife started me on a whole thing about Sp...

I wish they'd come out with a cruwear shaman.

Doesn't have to be a Sprint. I just liked my Cru-Wear Para 3.

Nice guy that I am, I just heard where there's going to be some Rex 45, M390, and 204P para3's next week. I'll send you a PM.

you are a nice guy! :)

My brother has had a rough life. He struggled in his teens, dropped out of highschool, had a hard time relating to pretty much anyone. Now he's got a driver's license, finished his GED, and is going to school for software development at a tech school. One thing we have in common is knife collecting...

I would get the new Native Salt or track down an M4 Linerless G10 Native on eBay. Bladeheadquarters ran those as an exclusive earlier in the year. Or maybe the soon to be released Para 3 Lightweight in BDN1?

Never had H1 before.

Funny you should ask. I had a SE Lady bug for the longest time that I carried everywhere. Eventually I bought a Dragonfly which was great, but the LB was so small that I kept carrying that, too. Then I bought a Para 3 Cru-Wear and a Native 5 Lightweight w/combo edge. Both awesome knives. So now I ca...

Cruwear Para 3, Native 5 lightweight. Maybe soon a Shaman.

You just captured my whole deal in your post. I bought a serrated ladybug like 5 years ago, and it was just the most useful thing in the world. It just cut so much better than plain edge knives that were much bigger. The SE LB is still my all time favorite knife forever. Because of the serrations, y...

I was just thinking (overthinking), I've been carrying both my Dragonfly and my Ladybug and that if I'm going.to carry both, I should carry something meaningfully larger than the LB, and I thought, I bet there's tighter QC on the Golden, CO models along the lines of what Sal said earlier, so now I'm...

Sounds like you want the wharnie Delica. Tha Salt 2 has less pointy ones too.

Mind reader. I DO want a Wharncliffe Delica.

Welp, I knocked the teeth down a bit on the sharpmaker, and then I took it back to shaving sharp even in the scallops with the fine rods. I think it's just about in the zone.

It's pretty cool to know why there are slightly different patterns and what to do to mellow out the teeth.

All these answers are super helpful. I think eventually I'll get a serrated Endura just because I want it and just sharpen the dragonfly a bit to mellow the pattern out. Good to know I'm not crazy. Thanks for the help.

Hi VG-10, Welcome to our forum. Some Edge-U-Cation might be in order. Serrations are made by grinding the edge of the blade with a formed wheel. The wheel is formed in the shape of the serrations. Each time a blade is serrated, there is a little wear on the wheel. After 40-50 blades, the wheel must...

I have a few Spydercos, a couple Ladybugs, an Endura I can't find, and a Dragonfly. All serrated. The Dragonfly's pattern seems way more spikey and hangs up more in materials like cardboard. The serration pattern on my LB's seems to act more like a plain edge; better even. I want a bigger serrated k...

Sharpmaker because I screwed up my new dragonfly. It's serrated. I use a diamond rod sharpener on my kitchen knices, so I got a tapered diamond rod to get inside the teeth, but the one I got was much too coarse. Made it worse, not better. Gotta wait until next week for the sharpmaker to get here. So...
