Spyderco Forums

This is exactly the debate I had for my first Spyderco, finally settling on the Chap. After handling both, to me the Chaparral feels more solid, has better ergos for my hand, the fit & finish is everything you'd expect from Taichung (superb), and the upgrade in steel to XHP makes it a pretty unb...

Yup, XHP on the Techno 2. I'm very tempted as well - the slightly thinner stock and open construction may push me over the edge...

Hi y'all, I'm feeling really smitten by the Lil Nilakka recently, and particularly attracted to the zero grind. My question is how does one maintain a zero grind with use? I know they come from the factory with a microbevel, but wouldn't maintaining the edge over time pretty quickly require either a...

K390 Urban! Very excited for my first slippie...

Fair enough - I'm not much into flipping so perhaps not the Baliyo, but it's a good idea to back off the use of a cutting tool for anything other than its intended purpose. Zhyla's feedback on the vertical play in older backlocks makes sense, and I think Darby's hunch on the ball bearing as class-le...

Hi all, I'm new to the Spydie game and really enjoying my FRN Chappie as both a useful tool and a fidget device while reading lengthy documents for work (especially after the back lock broke in, which didn't take long at the rate I was going). I got to wondering if my excessive opening & closing...

Does it still count if St. Nick (aka my dear wife) is doing the purchasing? In that case, and if I've been good this year, it will be the FRN Chappie on Christmas morning. :D :D :D

BladeHQ has it listed at $30.32 as well, though they don't accept pre-orders. I wonder if it's a glitch in the inventory/pricing getting pushed out to dealers? https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-Calypso-Jr-Sprint-Run--78695 **edit** On second glance, looks like they've just grabbed the regular C...

This is a very kind giveaway, and pairing it with the gratitude callout is a wonderful gesture. I would love to be considered for the Native - I've never had a Maxamet and would be very excited to try it out! As you can tell by my posts, I am new to the Spyderco journey, and this forum is the reason...

Congratulations on making 1,000! I would like to to throw my name in the hat. I'm just getting started on my spyderco journey, and this forum, which is truly more of a community than a forum populated as it is by amazing people like yourself, is absolutely the reason. Thanks for the generous giveawa...

Wow thanks for the quick response, sal and bearfaced! I'll keep an eye on the crazy deals thread - though it's looking a little dangerous in there as I can tend to get carried away :-)

Hey spydies, I'm looking to join the spyderco family, and seeing as Black Friday is just around the corner it seems like an opportune time to jump in with some great deals. Does anyone have any good leads on sites I should keep track of or sales already announced? I'm particularly interested in the ...
