Spyderco Forums

About 15 years ago I bought a Delica with serrated Aus8 steel. It was my constant edc until about a year ago while backpacking, hiking, diving, doing everything everywhere and in all situations. I've put that thing through all kinds of horrible torture from cutting small tree limbs to using it as a ...

I have both and the Manix does take up more room in the pocket. It is a bit tougher and bigger. They are both great choices and I guess it comes down to scales, size and locking mechanism. I had to make that decision a few months ago and ended up with the Manix first because I liked the blade shape ...

So no answer to "why not just stop posting"? Why is that such an insulting question? Someone with 40 posts claims they've had enough of insulting everyone and no one has any questions? More to the point, they jump on the guy that does question it? :confused: That's pure comedy.

You have a whopping 40 posts and you think you have to write a good-bye-cruel-world note? Why not just stop posting?

A light weight knife is nice and it does feel great in the hand and I am a big Para 2 fan but I am also a fan of old school, solid presence and heft in a knife. It's kind of the difference between a 1965 Ferrari and 2012 Ferrari. I haven't had to sharpen it and you are correct, it is not meant to cu...

It's a great knife. I paid $150 too after searching for the best deal. I had a feeling it would come down in price after everyone feels just how heavy and thick it is. I know most don't like big, heavy edc knives. I've been carrying mine for the last 2 weeks and the more I carry it, the less I notic...

I never, ever click on links from emails from any site that has my banking or personal information. I always type in the site name and enter that way. I don't even bookmark sites that have my banking info. I think that any secure site will have a lock in the top right corner and will be an https/ ad...

Thanks everyone. It sounds like I did the right thing and I shouldn't be so worried about it. BTW, the Para 2 did just fine cutting up chicken. Other than the blade being a tad short to be doing a whole chicken, the thing surprised me at how well it cut and cleaned up. So far, it really is a do-all ...

I cut up a raw chicken and it left my Para 2 in quite a foul/fowl :rolleyes: condition. I washed it in soap and hot water, let it air dry and hit the pivot with a couple of drops of Blue Lube. I've never had to completely wash a folder before and I'm paranoid about any consequences. Anyone wash thei...

I have found pretty good deals on Amazon and on Ebay. Amazon has whacky prices that come down for a couple of days and then go back up and if you are patient, you can find good deals from Poorfish or Supremesolutions on Ebay. I would love to support private knife sales but it seems that people want ...

Wow, this thread got derailed quickly! My only problem with the shirt is the design is far too busy for my taste. For this reason only, I'd pass on getting one. Note to Oofa: welcome to the forum. As a new member here, I hope you take some time to get to know the people that frequent the forum and ...

The capitalization of "Earth" indicating the name of the planet, not a deity.

Excellent! I couldn't have said it better!

Apparantly they decided in 1993 that they wanted "God's critters" as opposed to not mentioning God. If you don't like that, and they make another, don't buy it. The owner of a company is free to put his beliefs and ideas out there all he or she wants...that could possibly affect business ...

I was writing out a long post, but for the sake of everyone that would in turn read it, I chose not to :) I am a Christian. There. But let's talk about the T-shirt, not the religious or philosophical stuff. This is a knife forum. If Spyderco as a company takes a stand for Theism, good on them. It s...

I would love that t-shirt if it simply said, "All Creatures Have Knives".

Not much, IMHO. You're probably something like me. You know how to use a knife. You don't expect it to do things that it was never intended to do, or at least have the good sense to tread lightly when you do. You probably haven't bothered with the super cheap stuff that needs sharpening after openi...

Hello everyone. I have a few knives in my collection and I do believe that Spyderco has the best price/quality/usability combination so most of my knives are Spydercos. I'm new here although I've been reading the threads for quite a while now and I thought I'd ask what may seem like a dumb question....
