PM2 gave out

What they say about S110V is true. That stuff is brittle as hell. Spyderco should help you out though.

Can I just say the fact the Sal himself is in this thread alerting customer service STILL in 2025 shows what a company Spyderco is. Makes me happy to own their products.

Ha ha . . .
reminds me of my very old post now when I was ragging the pants off Cold Steel because they could not handle something as simple as sending me a pocket clip for my Cold Steel Holdout 1 (the big one) . I didn't break the clip . There was no waranty issue . Their literature simply stated that when I wanted a new clip I could order one from them .

I wanted to BUY and pay for shipping on a clip / not expecting any freebie .

They wound up lying to me for a month about it being in the mail. I wound up calling Arizona AND California with the same lying rigamarole .
I finally got one once I embarrassed them enough here in the forums .

I mean I could TOTALLY deal with a response along the lines of : they are out of stock . We don't know when or if they will ever be available for that knife .
or
"the guy who knew how to make that clip died while doing a stand off with a water buffallo in Africa using his 45 hand gun . . ."

. . . that I could shrug off . . .
but : We shipped it . It's in the mail !
Then I find out they hadn't had any and it wasn't ever shipped .
Then no follow up about when I could expect one . Then after calling , them saying they had them and had shipped it only to not get one again .
The knife was still in production and popular it wasn't an old discontinued knife . . .

MY POINT IS : after a month of going back and forth with them I finally got one shipped out .
I joke that they took it off Lynn Thompson's own Hold Out # 1 when he wasn't looking . (it wasn't like HE was on here saying we will take care of it I have alerted my dudes . . . or any thing of the sort .

We are LUCKY TO HAVE SAL !

I had the same experience with cold steel, willing to pay for a clip and never got even a reply from customer service after messaging twice a couple months apart. So no thanks I'm not spending money on a brand that won't help me keep knives up and running.

Maybe I'm too tired being towards the end of a graveyard shift but how else would you do it?

Any time you twist the knife in a cut you apply a lateral load to the blade. When you are making a cut in cardboard or other stiff material, if you are not very careful to keep everything aligned, you will apply lateral pressure. When you are sharpening the edge not using a pull through sharpener, you apply pressure to one side at a time and with S110V or any other hard, wear resistant steel, it is very easy to use too much pressure trying to hurry the process. I whittle a lot, and I do most of the work with the tip of the blade. With a long blade, leverage multiplies the force.
 
Well I honestly didn’t expect much when this started. Someone had a great point earlier that I paid for a knife and got approx 5 years of service out of it. I chose the 110v because of its ability to hold an edge for longer periods of time and also the anti corrosive properties which are important for my line of work. I did receive tracking a few day ago but was very surprised when I opened a box containing a brand new replacement today. I’m beyond impressed and proud to carry Spyderco knives. Thank you Sal and everyone at Spyderco. I would have continued to support Spyderco either way but it definitely feels a lot sweeter today.

Ouch. I hope they stand behind it.
I've been wondering, haven't searched yet, might as well just ask - how does Spyderco "make" the hole? Is it drilled, punched, lasercut, firing range, etc.? Does the method vary by factory and/or steel?

Now I'm wondering what caliber was used on my Spyderco knives? I guess I'll start measuring the holes. Whoever has that job sure is a good shot! ;)😄

I'd like to introduce you into a little life hack called "pryin' stuff".

Personally I would never do any significant prying with most folders, especially if the tip is extra pointy (Native Chief, Military, and others). If I had to pry something tough and didn't have a pry bar, I would use something like a Busse 3/16"-1/4" thick fixed blade. Jerry Busse used one of his knives at an accident scene to pry open a car door - except for some scrape marks on the coating, the knife was undamaged.

That's one of the many reasons my money goes to spyderco for folding knives.
