Spyderco Forums

I meant to post this a while back and i'm just now getting to uploading pics..

But anyway the first time i reprofiled my Caly 3, during the shaping phase while hitting the edge with a coarse diamond stone, i noticed the metal powder that grinds off was...

I ordered a green jade totem pendant from happythoughts.com , which I intend to use to propose to my girlfriend. They took payment, but their email and phone number are both dead. Their website still allows orders and shows items in stock. Are they still...

Posted in wrong place.

I’m new to all of this but wondering if there is one, quintessential representation of the brand. What’s the model most synonymous with Spyderco? Thanks!

This will be my ongoing experiences with all 3 salts as my work steels...

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion involving the now 3 salt steels, and I've seen a lot of opinions of thoughts on them all. I just wanted to share my experiences of real...

Just received manix 2 xl in black dlc. Knife is is not heavy, action of lock is smooth, though not as fast as an axis lock. Definitely want to keep it, but if you are thinking of getting one, you should know it really is xl, lol! It is long, not thick,...

Another run of Whale Rescue blade is needed.

Here is a recent example of a modified Spyderco Salt blade standing in:

None have been available in the retail chain for years, and there are other uses besides the eponymous one. Equipping anti-bomb...

I have the Wolfspyder and thanks to a good buddy now also the Rhino.

The compression lock closing does not work well because of double detent (Wolf) and missing blade mass (Rhino).

The ergos scream liner lock.
My thumb always wants to engage the non...

There are some major hints on Instagram today that Knifejoy is about to drop an Slysz Bowie exclusive with blue ano and m390 steel...

Edit to update: Knifejoy Slysz Bowie with blue ano scales and m390 steel dropping Wednesday, April 28 at 10am central....

Haven't seen any talk on this beauty. What do you all think of it? Should I pick it up once it releases?

Background: I own five Native 5's. I recently picked up a brown G10 / M390 Native Chief because I was wanting something a bit longer. The Chief is great, but it's a bit too long, and by not adding height to scales and blade the proportions are thrown off....

Which is your favorite Spyderco Marcin Slysz design, and what are your reasons? I have three, and I would be very interested in your replies.

Thank you.

I really want to try some 15V but so far none of the models it's been/being released on are knives I use. Who else wants to see a 15V back lock?

Hey All,
I recently got a Para 3 in 20CV and love it. However, its a bit big for my uses - mostly opening packages and sometimes cutting down cardboard. I work in retail and mostly worry I'm scaring my customers or coworkers when I flick it open, hahaha....

Hi Sal,
Just purchased a Zoomer from Chicago Knife Works. Blade came very dull.
Can I send this in to be sharpened correctly?
Many thanks

Hello all,

sal has informed via the: So, Sal, is the Caly3 model extinct ?! thread, that the maker of the Calypso Jr has found the bi-directional fish scale FRN tooling, and that they can produce a Sprint Run of the model.

I'm here to ask, what are...

MangaSlice - The Next Breakthrough in Knife Steel

I had considered attempting to come up with my own unique steel compositions, but just wanting to do so doesn't mean that you have something unique to offer. However, spending all this time on...

In my part of the knife community, every knife company should start any introduction to a knife of interest with the blade steel and its hrc. That is a world of pertinent information. This is the nine tenths of the required knowledge lying below the...

This is my favorite time of year and this knife is hugely emblematic of it:

Busting out the fly rods, hitting the rivers for the first time this spring and fiddling with my caribbean on the ride is one of...

What's going on with the MicroJimbo? It's not listed under New Product Reveal or Clipit but if you search MicroJimbo it comes up as coming soon.

I would love to see the Caly3 being brought back as a lightweight or even with some fancy scales. I might be wrong but I remember Sal saying that this was a model refined in time with love. I don’t think it was a poor seller but…who knows… your guess is...

I've missed just about every sprint run I've been interested in. Either it released while I was sleeping or at work. Does anyone know when this milli 2 sprint run will drop? I have 5 pages to sites that will have it once it drops open and the knife in my...

Hello everyone,

I received my Manix 2 lightweights in Magnacut not long ago. I noticed that both knives have a laser engraving/etching/stamp etc. whatever you want to call it on the tang of the blade. Does anyone else have this stamp on there's?? You are...

Hello everyone,

thank you for all your kind replies to my first thread (Recommendations for a European traditionalis), I've now got my first Spyderco knife and I'm going to tell you all the things you already know about anyways, but I'm just pretty...

I haven't heard anything from Spyderco about when the OpFocus seconds sale will be this year. It seems like it is generally the first or second Sunday in May? In years past it looks like it has been announced in March but there haven't been any...

Hopefully the factory, workers and families were spared the carnage shown on our news.

Hi, I have found a few long lost knives from a collection I had several years ago.
It was a set of three mini spyderco knives. Unfortunatly I have only the two smaller ones.
They are in perfect condition.
Are they worth anything?

Why the name? Where was it derived from? I only own one Spyderco knife. My CO8GS Harpy G-10. Purchased it from a knife dealer NIB for $80 last May. Its came in handy many times for my line of work. Wouldnt part with it for the world.

Found this painted stone that someone must have put on the top of the low peak I chose for my quick early morning run today.

Took a pic of it together with my iwb carry (Goddard the Great again).

Happy Easter to all of you! - And perhaps some would like...

Dr Larrin did some extensive testing on 8Cr13MoV which helps put this budget material into perspective in its capabilities compared to other materials.

While there was lots of talk about real world testing being more important than controlled testing....

I recently bought a street bowie, and it's a lovely design, very thin, very slicey, great handle, takes a wonderful edge.

There's just one giant, glaring issue: The Sheath.

Whatever spyderco used to make this, it's NOT kydex, it's got some sort of...

Knife friends I have a Mariner that has me stumped. It has the vent holes on both sides and was made in SEKI. What confuses me is that it has some black left in the untouched areas. The black looks to come from the factory. I took some pics and hopefully...

Hello all!

First I need to introduce myself, since this is my first post.

My name is Bernhard, I'm from a small European country named Austria. I've been into knives my whole life, roughly 35 years by now, but I've been interested mostly in traditional...

Hat's off to you Larrin. I'm carrying a Manix with Magnacut. Very sharp. Took a beautiful edge. Also doing very well in our corrosion test tank, after 10 days. Gonna be fun.

i know the manix is a little less popular than some other models (even...

Hey there, name is Cory and I've been a member of the forum for about 10 years but gave up on being a knife hobbiest 6-7 years ago and when I tried to get back on my old account I couldn't remember the password and I lost my original email years and...

Hi! With the Dragonfly being an EDC MVP, whether as a primary or secondary carry, I finally decided to get the S30V model. I'm just not sure that I'm man enough for the pink scales. So I've been looking at other options (besides just dyeing them)....

Saw this on a Japanese site. I could not find any information. Is it real Spyderco?

This thread is dedicated to the good deals on Spyderco knives, which you might come across whilst browsing the websites of reputable resellers based in Europe (specifically : within the European Union Customs Union).

The deals may not be good as the one...

Hi, I purchased a New G10 Manix s110v, but the blade bevel is slightly uneven. At the very tip of the blade it is slighty bigger than on the other side. I know it really doesnt affect much but I was under the impression that Spyderco had the most...

It has been awfully quiet on any news regarding the slipjoint and the smaller version of the Kapara... I was really hoping 2024 would be the year for it.
