Ask Josh a Question

[REK Knives]

I see you flip between different Spyderco models, do you have an idea of when you’ll start doing a round of PM2 reblades again?
Awesome work here brother, so many cool pieces.
Thanks.

Thanks! Not sure... Was giving it a break because demand slowed down a bit haha. I'll do more at some point though!

Well when you do I’m in for a spot lmao
I’ll have to see if you have an email noti list on your website.

Working on some smock reblades for a new release... And a new para3 blade shape. But those will take a bit of time still so I'll probably do a few custom projects then the rest of the sheepsfoot 3.5 embers and a handful of shaman blades to finish the blanks off I have on hand.

I'm gonna be ready for this one. I just bought a Smock this morning. Should have it in a couple days.

Hey Josh,

Do we know if the Smock re-blade is gonna be for new pivot, old pivot, doesn't matter because it works for both or select which pivot at the time of preorder?

Trying my best not to send you anymore unworkable donor knives.

Should be the newer one but may work in the old one as well, will research that!

I’d be happy to send in my older Smock in for “Testing and blade fitting Purposes”, just lemme know

Didn’t know there was older and newer. How do I tell?

 

[abraves]

This is what’s coming to me.

By the big Ol pivot on the newer ones like yours’.

Pivot barrel is same diameter between the two though right?

I personally have no idea unfortunately

Are you still planning on doing a drop point 3.5 run this year?

 

[REK Knives]

Hope so... The year has flown by so far

 

[abraves]

Something to look forward to next year. Thanks again Josh for your attention to detail in developing a quality product that isn't just a copy of something else.

Let me know if you need me to take my newer pivot one apart and mic.

Question on the para 3 reblades. What qualifies for the blade being off center? The scales? The inner parts of the donor knife?
If my para3 is a little off center and i send it in as a donor for a reblade, will the knife returned to me be off center?

It needs to be a decent condition g10 version (no lw) that is not a factory second. If it is a little off center it won't be an issue for me to center the reblade during the tuning process. But I would stay in contact with you so that if there were any issues beyond my control you could send in another pm3 instead but it doesn't sound like it would be a problem.

Josh would a Micarta handled Para 3 work ok? I’m about to buy one just for this project. Hate the FRN handles and just seen you mention G10

Yes sorry, as long as it's not a lw. The only other thing to keep an eye on is making sure the liner lock face isn't damaged/worn out.
