A collaboration between knifemaker Filip De Leeuw and Spyderco, the Myrtle is backed by a titanium frame lock and features a unique blade for a variety of tasks. Done in a modified leaf shape, the blade allows for utility work with the tip and broad cuts and slices with the belly Read More
I need a replacement screw for my Myrtle. 1 of the 4 body screws is missing. Does anybody have a replacement screw I can buy or a link where I can buy 1? Thank You.
So, is the carbon fiber fully carbon fiber or is it a thin laminate of carbon fiber glued to g10? I ask because Spyderco does this frequently even on fairly expensive knives.
Notsurewhyibotherit is a solid piece of carbon fiber. it is not a veneer. That being said, it's also a pretty small amount of carbon fiber--half a handle on only one side. the carbon fiber and titanium bolster on the presentation side of the knife are attached to a thin titanium liner. The other side is just a flat piece of titanium with chamfered edges and the lock bar cut out. Since the presentation side is 3D machined while the lock side is flat, the presentation side is a little bit thicker than the lock side. I have this knife in hand at this moment. It's weirdly shaped, asymmetrical in appearance and construction and there are more hot spots on the handle compared to paramilitary or military, but while this may seem negative, I do like this odd knife.
I had one a while back, but ended up selling it ... very unique look, and I really wanted to like it, but (on mine anyhow) the detent had to be kept ridiculously tight to center the blade. Loosening the pivot even a fraction would cause the blade to rub due to direct pressure on the lockbar from the pocket clip, which I assume was also acting as an overtravel stop. It had terrible lock-stick as well. Not sure why mfgs can't either carbidize the lockbar face, or put a steel insert, when there is steel-on-Ti contact . Seems to be common sense, especially given the MSRP of this particular knife.
Because I still love the look and the bolstered CF. but a sharp small thumbhole that's blocked partially by the frame and a strange hot spot aren't something I'm going to spend 150$ on.
