Hello, everybody.

First, many thanks to mr. Sal Glesser for the beautiful SS Dragonfly he sent to my new born son, Paul. This way I was also able to test it and add here my 2c. oppinion.

The Dagonfly is a great knife the way it is. I found it very...

Ted - I've sent you a message/Card yesterday and it bounched right back. So now I try to contact you via the Forum. No ADSL yet. Gaby refused the idea of a new Labtop so I'll put the network ideas in the fridge for a while. However, I still want that new...

I am the lucky owner of a 2002 forum Vesuvius. Action is a little scratchy, so I decided to do the BAAAD thing:

I took it apart, gave it a nice ultrasonic cleaning, polished some parts which had rough edges (like the stop pin... it scratched at the liner...

Hope everyone had a good holiday.

I got a Lum tanto for christmas and I have some sharpening questions. When sharpening them on a sharpmaker, do you treat it as two seperate edges? As in sharpen the front, short edge and then sharpen the main edge. Or do...

In your preparation of 'engaging' a person...Do you find yourself leaning toward your target?

I find myself standing upright just in case I need to back off of my aggressor. Is this a good thing? Let me know your thoughts.

TQ

Does any on-line dealer have the new Spyderco grey Calypso jr yet?

I am trying to get one in time for christmas, but don't want to pay full msrp.

Thanks in advance.

Hey I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and a Merry Christmas. Just remember Jesus is the reason for the season. I hope you have an enjoyable holiday with your families and maybe a few new spydies!

I'd love to see actual pic's, close-ups, etc.. ie more detail than the one on the main spyderco.com page.

If somebody has done this, can you show me the link? I tried searching with no luck.

Thank you.

To All:

As promised, here are some pictures of the first Yojimbo/Folding Ronin prototype.

Stay safe,

mike j

I got a Native II for Christmas, and I'm a little worried about it. When I open it, it feels almost as if where the blade and handle come together is too tight, like it's pinching slightly. I can feel it rubbing. Does it just need breaking in or is this a...

I just bought one of these from the Discontinued page on the website. It looks like a great knife at an even better price. Does anyone else here own one? What are your observations or experiences?

Thanks

I got mine today. Spyderco, as usual, has done an outstanding job in bringing us this piece. Fit and finish are outstanding. It has real bolsters! I can't believe it is selling for the price it is. In all honesty I would have expected the MSRP to be more....

I have a Delica with an ATS55 blade, now I see it is also available in VG10.

Which is the better steel? Why the change?

Best wishes to all my fellow forumites.

May your 2004 be filled with Spydery Goodness!

I admire your professionalism here and at BFC regarding the BM/Blackwood debate. I think sometimes those guys just like to hear themselves type over at BFC. It irks me that BM/Blackwood can do this. The attacks that Spyderco should not be able to...

Would anyone be interested in buying a HK Q knife?

The SE Toad is one of my favourites. But I am always a bit nervous of using it because I'm afraid of breaking the very slender and delicate looking tip. Has anyone put some hard use on theirs/broken the tip? Are replacement blades available?

What do you prefer for every day carry and why?

Greetings Spyderphiles. I just posted my review of the CRKT M16 over at RHOS.

I was fascinated by these and jumped on an ebay deal. Perhaps the larger versions are a bit more robust.

Does anyone know what steels were used in the early models (80's) of the C01 (worker), C02 (mariner), C03 (hunter), C04 (executive) & C05 (economy/standard)?

I think the C01 was G-2, but don't know about the others. The C02 has been made with ATS-55...
