Spyderco Quality

[David45]

The only thing consistent “problem” with my Spydies is the sharp edges on the scales/handles. I will say my Tuff has better,slightly chamfered edges on its handle.
It’s an easy fix but I’ll wait till I commit to making one an EDC before I start breaking these edges.

the silver lining is the sharp blade edges out of the box!

Hi David,

Sharp edges are a sign of skill levels. They are harder to achieve and knife makers use it as a sign of greater skill.

My most recent Spydercos are an M390 Manix 2, S110V Manix 2, and Gayle Bradley 2. All three have great F&F. The M390 Manix 2 is just a hair off center, but other than that is nearly flawless. These are high quality production knives with premium steels all sub-$200. Every Spyderco I've bought has been high quality - even the Byrd Cara Cara 2s I've bought are high quality. Outside of a few random purchases, most of the modern folders I buy are from Spyderco.

I'm a Spyderco-"noob"; just 6 of them.
5 are really good; but my Delica needed some tinkering...
The Spydie-hole was pretty rough; but a bullet case de-burring tool cleaned it up. It also had a Back-lock spring that felt like a rear spring from a 3/4 ton pickup. That got some tweaking, and the knife is now EDC ready.

Did you ever think it might be a knife bought and returned after being messed with? That happens more than it should.

+1. Never seen that out of Spyderco. Lots of returns though.
