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,...
Anybody ever check their sales tax from the SpyderCo store and realize its incorrect. Northern Virginia zip is being charged 7% instead of 6%. Two emails have gone unresponded. (Customer Service on the phone was very nice however and directed me to...
I know that Golden is at capacity limits in pushing knives through but I wonder if there is a chance that we will see a 52100 Chief? I know that a lot of people have their issues with it but it’s my favorite steel that Spyderco puts out and it’s the...
Hello! I got this Spyderco about 25-plus years ago from a friend who told me it was a police model. I don’t see the “police” mark on the blade like current police Spydercos. The blade length is about 4-1/8” with a handle length of 5-1/4”. It’s stamped G2...
Spyderco's 50th founding anniversary is only two years away, in 2026.
I'm fairly sure management has already decided on what model they will use, but what would your guess be? And what special details could said knife contain like high-end handle scales...
Post about your sharpenings. Brand, grit, abrasives, grit progression, desired edge finish, decision making in sharpening, whatever you want. Might be interesting to see what people use for certain tasks, and will give insight into the results of others'...
I figured we could get a thread going on different Spyderco screw sizes. Frequently google'ed subject, ebay sellers make a fortune selling them, and the factory screws are not really standard sizes :)
I like DLC. It has a nice look, is super hard, and helps a little with corrosion resistance. I'm thinking of doing it to one or 2 of my knives with an aftermarket DLC coating service.
Are there any annealing concerns with CruWear, S90V or 15V in...
Was looking at fixed blades at various online knife companies. It just seems like something is missing. Especially in areas that Spyderco makes excellent folder knives steel wise. To me it is a mystery that Spyderco doesn’t have a current fix blade knife...
I'm wondering how many people use a lanyard on a pocket knife. To me, it's a useless ugly hole that in many cases interferes with the position of the pocket clip so the knife cannot be deep carried. A lanyard is useful on a fixed blade for retention when...
I lost this knife in November of last year, so it has been chilling in the dirt and leaves through a very rainy winter. I disassembled it and cleaned it up, which removed most of the rust that was mainly concentrated in the jimping, around the detent ball...
Maybe yall can help me, I feel like I’m going crazy. Years ago, I could have swore I had in my possession an Endura (OR endela) that was BLUE/GREY in color that had the armorer tool in the same spot as the lone wolf….BUT it was spring loaded and like...
Has anyone else gotten a C223PYL yet? I have several para 3 lw’s. I don’t recall any of them having the edges of the scales be this sharp. Catches the back of my hand pretty good when going in pocket to get other stuff.
Swapped some titanium scales onto my manix and noticed you could peel the liners and scales apart and the scales would click around due to the lanyard tube not being press fit anymore, so I decided to add a extra standoff and screws onto the knife with...
I just love the look of this fixie by Chad Kelly, called the Heron . Does anyone else dream of a CK collaboration with a classic design like this? Maybe in a steel balanced a bit toward toughness? It looks like a tremendously useful outdoor knife.
As I've been promising for some time now, I've decided to start a thread outlining the different varieties of the Spyderco Model C09 CoPilot (both production varieties and after-market embellished versions). This thread will be a work in progress and I...
I’m really happy to add another knife to my collection today. My PM2 in SV45N rapidly became my favorite knife when I got it last summer. When I saw the PM2 Salt version with Magnacut blade, I just had to get one. I won’t bore you with pics,...
i, I wonder if you could possibly help? I’ve loved Spydies for at least 30 years but only bought three for myself in this time because managed to keep them safe! This one has been my daily carry for maybe 20 years; or 18? No real idea. Never sharpened but...
Bought a Spyderco Manbug Salt in August ´22 here in Germany.
After receiving it, I only tested the mechanism shortly and cut a few ropes, which worked reeeeally great for the small knife.
Then stowed it in my PFD where it has lived almost unused ever...
Lost my Military 2 3 days ago. Found out when i undressed at night. The Military 2 had pushed my other Spydies out of my pocket.
I have been feeling sad since then. Because i live in Belgium the knife is pretty expensive and i´m a nurse so money isn´t...
For me, i think it is. Well, maybe receiving the first Siren and Waterway topped this but nothing else! I haven’t felt this kind of excitement over a new knife in YEARS!
I’ll offer some very brief initial observations on both knives.
I’m sorry but in my opinion these prices are getting a little too high. Spyderco is one of the best and they have to make a profit. However when the Chinese s35 tenacious is going for $120 I think that’s a little much. In 2018 I bought my DLC PM2 for...
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...
I’ve been absolutely blown away by how excellent the Jumpmaster 2 SE is at work, so I’ve started looking to see if I can find a larger H1/H2 fixed blade for use in place of my machetes and parang that I hack really thick but soft materials up with (think...
There is a copy of the compression lock new on the market. From China. I don't know if it is patented, but figure y'all should know. It's basically a copy of the Smock.
Just throwing this out there. There's been 2 iteration of the Para 3 with Cruwear, but none in CruCarta. Why hasn't someone (*cough* DLT) ever ordered one up as a sprint? My 2 favorite patterns these days are the Native and the Caly but a close 3rd is the...
So wanted to hear some input on this. I’ve been completely enamored with the Stretch XL since I first saw the prototype at the Blade show a few years ago. Wonderful design and IMHO a more refined design than any of the previous Stretches. I didn’t need...
Recently I launched a thread asking you folks which 3 of the older models you all would like to see in a Sprint Run. The one model that just kept coming up over and over again was the C-60 Ayoob model. It just makes perfect sense to take a hard look at a...
Has anyone bead blasted their G10 scales? I wanted to change the color of some black tenacious scales, so had friend bead blast them.
Haven't got them back yet but he sent a pic of the results.
Wondering if it will take a RIT dye now.
New guy here. I have been a fan of the sage series for a long time and have been collecting them for years. I just ordered the last knife I was missing for this collection.
What do you all think will be the next knife in this series...
Hi All,
I recently picked up 2 Ladybugs second hand and noticed the markings on them are different. I’m hoping someone here can help confirm they are genuine. And, if they both are, what generations they might be. The grey one is a pinned version and the...
Hey guys, I'm looking for a knife that's great for fileting, deboning fish and these types of tasks and while looking at the Ikuchi I hthought this would be trhe perfect knife to have for such tasks.
The blade length is not too shirt, but what cought my...
