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

My best 2 knives, that I will never sell are ..... I cannot say until I buy more copies for backup! :winking-tongue If I published that info and folks went out and bought all of them up I'd be very bummed out. Keep the thread going for another month, and I'll tell you what I bought! I'll have both ...

MAP Question

As I understand it, MAP = Minimum Advertised Price, the lowest price at which a dealer can advertise an item. That seems to leave the door open: perhaps some dealers may have unadvertised prices, or will give lower prices if contacted directly. Are there any dealers who will go below MAP if you (1) ...

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

Not looking for your favorite model, but literally the best combo: model + steel + scale material + scale color + edge type. It's not my favorite model, but it does so many things so well, it's my avatar: The Magnacut Manix . Great blade shape, great lock, excellent steel, safe ergos, allows forwar...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

Isn’t it interesting that the majority of traditional pocket knives featured multiple blades (usually 2 or 3), but modern folders are almost exclusively just one blade? It is interesting. Dad carried a 3-blade stockman with clip, sheepfoot and spey. He liked having particular blades for different p...

Re: Beware: Fake Online Knife Shops!

You'll find loads of scam sites discussed under General Discussion > Spyderco Counterfeits.

I don't think anybody's taken the time to make a list, and I imagine it'd be difficult to do, because they probably pop up and go out of business rapidly.

That's interesting. A great example of Spyderco attention to detail. I wonder what the 'salt marking' process is.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

Haven't found myself carrying much else since I picked this up. Really happy with the M2LW design and implementation, and thus far after a couple weeks of use and sharpening I've been enjoying magnacut a lot. Ditto that. The MC M2LW could easily be my last and only knife. It does so many things rig...

Welcome to the nuthouse, Ryan 0053! When I first heard of this "Sock Drawer" group, I thought it was a bunch of foot fetishists. But now you're telling me that among you are a sub-culture of underwear thieves? Sick! How does one join up? And suppose someone does want to join up, are our id...

I am interested in finding out about the liners as well :thinking The Manix 2 BURL S90V Sprint RUN (C101MGBRBBK2) did not have skeletonized liners. :bug-red-white Can't see skele liners in this photo... https://www.gpknives.com/media/catalog/product/cache/339f82189d9eed21c435d2b59225dacd/c/1/c101mp...

There’s actually a tool for this. I forget what it’s called though. If you happen to remember, I'd like to know. Drop me a PM? After experiencing the Native in Magnacut, I want it in Native Chief also :-)) Hope it will drop soon, the summer is already here. Me too! I paid SMKW for a MC NC November ...

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!

MXG included two sets of screws of different lengths. They’re also too long but I may take them to the grinder for this purpose. When I need to shorten a screw a scootch or two, I chuck it in my drill and spin it while holding the end to ... whatever, grinder, belt sander, file, etc. Sometimes I ha...
