Perhaps the blade is hitting the thong/lanyard hole FRN tube when closed.

Ah, thanks, that could be what they mean!

But then they are actually confunding the Catcherman with the Stretch XL (non LW) or something like that... the Catcherman does not have a lanyard hole tube...

Weird info by a dealer concerning the CATCHERMAN: "[On the batch we have the]"blade chips on tubing"".. ? Any inputs?

Ordered a Catcherman sprint from Coutellerie Tourangelle (European online dealer, so far only good experiences): Since the knife did not arrive at "no later than May 14" as announced, I asked them what´s going on: Their reply (exact quote): "Actually C17 [Catcherman] that we have in s...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?

Tough question... From a practical/functional point of view for me the "best configuration" has to feature FRN, a backlock, an ffg blade with a pointy, but not TOO delicate tip and a long and of course "non aggressive" serrated edge... steel a not too hard but rather quick and ea...

Post a pic. You could be able to bend it out like already noted. It can also be ground/sharpened out if needed. Hard to guess what the best fix is without seeing it.

@Stid229 here viewtopic.php?p=1332284#p1332284 is a good way how to post pics.

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

Started a thread on the following once, but can´t find it no more: - Another idea for a double bladed folder would be to give it one really thin, slicey ffg blade perhaps made out of a hard, great-edge-retention steel and one sabre grind robust blade, perhaps made out of a softer, but tough steel.

Re: Your favorite color combination?

I am one of those who actually really like bunt orange.
Even more so when the REX 45 blades it comes with show some patina or the HAP40 blades patina and scratches on the soft SUS410 cladding steel..

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

I'd actually like to see a Dyad featuring a comboedge blade and, yes, a saw (most will know that Soyderco had a folding "Spyder"saw in their lineup back in the days).

Even started a poll on this once
