Announcing the 2024 OpFocus Factory Seconds Sale!
Sunday, June 23rd, 2024, 9 am - 3 pm (MDT)
This is an opportunity for qualified personnel to purchase Spyderco factory seconds, closeout items, and other select products at incredible discounts,...
I'm warming up to the idea of a shorter blade and am exploring options, but haven't been paying attention to past releases...has there ever been a lightweight wharncliffe/sheepfoot Lil' Native?
The Yojimbo 2: An expression of Michael Janich's Martial Blade Concepts (MBC) edged-weapon system in stainless steel and fibreglass laminate, and arguably the most well-known of Spyderco's non-Glesser designs. As popular as it is, there is a subset of the...
I recently received my magnacut lw manix. so far ive been very pleased with it. One odd thing ive noticed though is the action is noticeably less snappy than my 4v manix lw. I was wondering maybe the magnacut one has some pivot differences that would make...
Last year I completed my Chaparral collection (all except the Blue Stepped Titanium - I tried several but just didn't like the annodization on any of them) and I'm hoping there are more new models on the way highlighting other handle materials. Also,...
I've got a date with the one point eight. And, hey I've been way for awhile. Canada had some forest fire evacuations, kids get some flu and what's one to do.... Anyway, the Catcherman has me excited enough to post up again.
Just saw in BHQ's Instagram post. Can't post pics because my image hosting's down. Wow! Cruwear and that sweet hollow grind. I just hope they fix the stupid detent and the lockstick issues.
Getting close to what I would consider my favorite show of the year. Is anyone attending this year on the forum? Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. April 12-14th.
I have three PM2s that I bought at different times over the past 5-10 years. I haven't carried any of them much, for one reason or another. I would like to start carrying them more, but when I got them out I remembered how the G10 scales never seemed to...
I like the Chaparral, quite a lot. It is super thin and gives more blade than the Dragonfly in almost the same size package. I personally would like to see a Chaparral slip joint with SPY27.
I think it is time to move on from XHP as I like SPY27 better...
For around a month, I've acquirred the Spyderco Swayback. I've tested a number of Ti RILs from Spyderco but this one is just marvelous !
I've carried and used it approx. a dozen time. It's my second highly classy knife, so it won't be a...
I have a Paramilitary 2 that I have had for a few years. I am considering buying a new Paramilitary 2 or maybe a Para 3, but I would like something cooler than average. How can I know when Spyderco is going to or has released P2s or P3s with something...
So the idea is a Bodacious sprint run in Magnacut and micarta, a way to sell the new shaman alternative model and the allure of magnacut perfectly heat treated by spyderco. The cherry on top though is the naming convention for the sprint run that struck...
I remember seeing a picture of a really cool Spyderco fixed blade on here once, it is a knife that I know is no longer in production. It was a midsized blade, micarta handle, I remember Sal commenting that it was intended to be full on custom quality...
Does anybody know if the new Salt knives have the black coated lock bar? I'm specifically interested in the Dragonfly Salt PE. I have some Salt knives that have black coated lock bars and some that don't. As I recall, I have a Pacific Salt SE in H2 that...
I bit the bullet and bought a PM2. I really like it a lot. It’s built like a tank!
One question: it’s a little stiff to open and close. Will it break in overtime or is it worth adding a drop of oil to the pivot? It’s not as ‘flicky’ as the videos I see...
Just received my PM2 K390 and I got to say overall it was a very smooth transaction and the knife seems to be in perfect condition. I know before making my purchase, I was doing some research on the dealer and the knife itself and it seems like Bento Box...
Who here EDCs a knife that they use for small food prep tasks when they are out and about? Where I used to live it was most practical to just use my Spyderco Endura folder when the need arose. I always edc an Esee Izula fixed blade as well, but it was...
With the old Harpy thread being rekindled I got to thinking about a subject I've suggested in the past couple of years. And that is to consider one of Spyderco's finer Hawkbill models with a G-10 handle. I've said a few times previously that a Spyderhawk...
Is this the knife everyone really wants? Here me out. People decried it because it had such a thick blade and other complaints. However, when one looks at the specs, it has the same blade thickness, and close to the same specs as other well loved knives...
Any news on getting a new batch of Yojimbo 2 trainers in 2024? I have multiple guys who would buy both a live blade and a trainer if they could, but it feels like it's been years and they're getting tired of waiting.
I finally had the time, patience and money to put together what I have in my mind as the best all around folding hunting knife. I had to have a Shaman because of its perfect ergos and thick robust blade. S90V is my favorite steel to work with and this...
I posted this on Bladeforums a few days ago but I thought some of you might be interested in this as well. Many thanks to Larrin for doing all the hard work of testing steels and providing this data to the public. I just wanted to compile some of it in a...
I have a Spyderco Hawkbill knife in all stainless. It is 4 long closed with a blade about 2 3/4 long. There is no model number on it. Can anyone give me some info. Attached are pictures of the knife!
I'm starting this topic for science and for better awarness about quality control at :bug-red factory.
Recently I bought genuine Shaman, regular model in S30V, from very good source, knowing about that this piece has some side to side blade play, even...
I came across this neat old Spyderco for sale, it is a 240mm Gyuto. I didn't know they ever made anything like this, I'm curious if anyone knows more about these?
Hello, I bought my first Spyderco knife yesterday, the PM2 with Cruware / Micarta, it was great and I was spidey / thumb flicking it in the parking lot after I bought it, No issues. When I got home it was super stiff and you could hear the blade dragging...
So I have very little experience with serrated edge. I have been using it since last summer with one in my back pocket almost everyday. Most of my VG-10 SE is in a Wharncliffe blade, which is why I'm asking the question.
I know it's maybe not completely fair and rational to judge the performance of a blade steel by using only one serrated Spyderco model. But the C-60 full SE CRUWEAR blade is very similar to working with a real life LASER And it sharpens up very nicely as...
I'm trying to remember when the bug...er spyder was first put on the blade.
I'm currently discussing on a different medium, an old favorite Lil Temperance that shows a bug on blade and engraving for where it is made is all different than any other blade...
In August 1987, I was issued with a new Spyderco Mariner in black as my duty operational blade in my role as a tactical team member. It accompanied me on over 300 separate operations and after 3 decades upon retiring from my career, the knife...
