Spyderco Forums

I made knives in the 80's & 90's from m35, m42, and t42 parting tools in mid to high 60's hrc, stock removal, so can appreciate the difficulty working with this type of material, keeping in mind I didn't have to deal with HT. For 30 years I've longed for a folder with the same performance as my...

All of us must immediately see the photo of the Endela... please :p

I'll have to see scheduling. Don't like to say too much too early.

Hi Cscottsss,

Welcome to our forum.

Are you from Oz?

Sal, thanks for the welcome. I've been a long time lurker and finally decided to register. No, not from Oz, and actually have no idea what or where that is?

There's a post on one of the FB groups of a blue lw that's missing the bug on the blade, and the logo on the circle on the scales... Still has tang markings. Blade shape looks off, as well, but the pics are not very good... Thought it might have been a regrind, but the missing logo in the scales has...

Thanks for all your responses. Hello and welcome here, Which model is it? Does it have the full width lock ramp or the safety step ramp? Why do you want to take it apart? The lanyard tube is ... when removing the scales. I guess its a red version... I saw the thread on the para 3 defect here: //for...

I don't think DBH was being aggressive or confrontational... More likely "enthusiastic" to engage, and hear your thoughts/experience with the steel.

Idk if you've watched any of his videos, but he's one of the good guys!

Subbed!

Cool info.
Thanks for the find, and bringing it up to the top again!

In to see what Darby's got there...

If the rumored FRN model comes to fruition, I would love to see some slight contouring, a lá the Slycz Bowie.

I’d like to see heavier contouring like the bushcrafter, or like Bark River’s Bravo1 or Aurora.

I don't think that would be very "pocket-friendly"...

I think the hold method may have been to drill a slip fit hole in a scrap of wood (in a drill press), and using that to hold squareness... (Not entirely confident in my recollection, at the moment)

Question: If you've tightened the pivot screws on a PM2 as tight as they'll go, and there is still a hint of side to side blade play, what can be done? Thicker washers? I've never done it, but you should be able to work the bushing pivot on some wet or dry to trim a few thou off the ends. (Be sure ...

Arise, valiant thread!
Forumites cast your gaze upon thee!
More discussion!

I believe it's a requirement of the maker... Care to expand on the "requirement" bit ? Don't quite understand it. Doesn't Spyderco dictate what they want ? They can't stamp out the blanks of these steels unless they're laminated with a softer cladding, so we likely won't get unlaminated v...

How many people even want laminated blades? Honest question. They add extreme difficulty to manufacturing and QC no doubt. Is it worth it? I believe it's a requirement of the maker... Iirc, they blank via stamping, so they need the softer cladding to allow them to blank the knives. The maker of the...

People complaining about uneven lamination lines need to step back and do some research in two areas: 1. Steel production processes (particularly rolling mills, and the H.I.P. process. 2. Geometry (particularly full-flat grinds with a distal taper) Then come back here and explain your position that ...

Ionbond participated in a discussion a few years ago over on bf. The subject came up again a month or two ago, and rycen dug that conversation out. It's pretty informative... Basically they say that the DLC layer is "micro-porous", and is very good at holding anti-corrosion films/substance...

Hi Marinedad02, Welcome to our forum and thanx much for your service. I did get your email, I guess this post is your answer? I believe your selections were a good "try-it-out". Gayle is an excellent designer and custom maker and the Stretch 2 is mine. Believe it or not, I too have discov...
