Spyderco Forums

Personally I'm done with off the shelf boots. There are some really decent brands out there but I'm ready for something better. For work I have to wear steel toes so I can't go custom just yet (it's a lot more difficult to guarantee fit with a steel toe) but for soft toe boots I plan on having a pa...

I would love to see the "New Product Announcements" section of the forum start being utilized to its full potential. I personally would like to see Spyderco make a post in this section every time a new model or model variation is released from quality control and ships out to dealers/distr...

I ended up out at the Albany range trying guns, and I ended up with a Marlin 336BL. It's a fun little gun.

Nice choice. Sounds like you are already enjoying it.

A safe does an excellent job of keeping kids from having easy access to a firearm and keeping honest people honest. Outside of that, it is simply just a time sink that takes a thief anywhere from seconds to minutes to break into unless you plan to spend a significant amount of money. Before spending...

Solid State,

Did you ever end up pulling the trigger on a purchase?

For a lever gun in a modern hunting cartridge that will work equally well in the brush of western Oregon to the open high desert of eastern Oregon it is hard to go wrong with a Browning Lever Rifle (BLR). It comes in most any flavor of cartridge you could want and they run smoooootttthhhh. I have sh...

At the top of the General Discussion forum page is the 2018 Spyderco Calendar contest. The price for a winning entry is a Cruwear sprint Para 3. So with funds tight, I say give your your camera and current Spydies a workout and you might be able to earn yourself a sweet Para 3 from your efforts.

Eagerly awaiting the swayback here also. Really wish it was ahead of the Techno 2.

For an all around sportsman's knife, it doesn't get any better than the Southfork. I own a Sprig and Southfork and the Southfork I feel is the better all around knife. My Southfork has been used to process over a dozen big game animals and counting with sizes ranging form pronghorn antelope to elk. ...

I have only used mine for game processing and it has excelled at that task. As someone else noted it is a fairly thin edge and use should be adjusted accordingly. The only item you listed I see that may be an issue would be whittling wood, it would do it but I don't think it would be the best choice...

Another vote for the Knifeworks 204p. I have owned a handful of Military's and none has ever stuck in my collection. The 204p has converted me and is now my most carried knife and only Military but I plan to add at least a couple more at some point. As a bonus, there should be an email coming out an...

I wonder if it is like the Golden Tickets in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Root Beer is my favorite, followed closely by Coke in a bottle. While I was in Greece I had a Coca Cola and it was incredible, if you compare the labels they use 1/3 the sugar we use in the USA in a can of Coke. So instead of tasting like you are drinking syrup it tastes like cola. So if you are li...

I have what I call beater knives but it isn't because I use them for tasks I consider abuse. I use my beater classified knives because I don't want to deal with things like excessive dirt, pitch, edge rolls/chips, rapid dulling, etc... on the knives that are in my EDC rotation. Just like I have clot...

I would handle it one of two ways. 1. Reach out to Spyderco warranty and repair and they will most likely just drop you a set of new screws in the mail. I would only go this route if you are confident you did not receive a fake. There are a lot of good youtube videos and forum posts on how to determ...

Eric had the Autonomy 2 prototype in his pocket at the OKCA show earlier this month. It was a plain edge, semi leaf shaped blade and I believe they were talking about using LC200N. Great knife and I like the design better then the current Autonomy simply because they removed the finger groves in the...

I agree that Spyderco's knives running on washers cause me no issue and run extremely smooth. In fact I can't think of a single Spyderco in my collection that isn't smooth though some didn't start out that way between gritty pivots and some needing a break in period. I agree with a lot of the statem...

There should be some pics coming in the next couple days I would expect but not from me because I am always bad at pulling out my phone and taking photos. It was a long day for most of us filled with great knives and even better company. It never ceases to amaze me the wonderful people that the Spyd...

I just got done handling Shaman's that were being carried by Eric and Sal at the OKCA show this weekend. They are going to be a hit and can only describe it as a Para2 sized, compression lock Native. The knife should appeal to a very wide audience.
