Spyderco Ray Mears WolfSpyder Knife

  Beautifully designed knife and extremely well made. It is absolutely the sharpest knife I’ve ever owned right out of the box. Ray Mears is a legitimate knife designer.

  It's a lovely knife, seems very sturdy & practical. Might be a tad expensive for the size, but given the price a Paramilitary II costs these days, it's probably about right. If I could improve on anything, I'd make the blade stock swell out a little around the thumb hole and make the thumb hole a bit wider in diameter more like a standard Spyderco knife. As it is, it's a very distinctive no nonsense folding knife. It has phosphor bronze bushings on the pivot and a compression lock that locks up really tight. The blade has a Scandi grind with a flat ground spine and decent steel with good blade centering. There is no blade play in any direction and has an excellent fit & finish. It was designed by Ray Mears! Ace!

  Awesome product. Really surprised how light weight it is and still has a really strong lock up.

  This knife is smaller than I thought it would be, but then again, I was not looking for something HUGE to place in my pant pocket either. The knife is robustly constructed, and the blade material is highly durable with excellent edge retention. Solid performer! I live in Canada and this item was shipped promptly. I received it much quicker than I thought I might. Great experience with Ray Mears Bushcraft with this purchase.

  Utterly fantastic knife, very nice ergonomics. Will cut feather sticks like nobodies business. Excellent forest green G10, not too abrasive for the pocket either. I hope to get many years out of this knife.

  Excellent service and a great product from Spyderco and Woodlore. The knife is a little smaller in person than you would expect from the pictures, but it is built to abuse and will surely be a hand-me-down many years from now.

  Nice rugged knife, very different style, it will be a keeper here in the USA.

  My wife bought me a Ray Mears Spyderco knife for my birthday recently. Pro’s. The build quality is excellent strong, precise and robust. The blade shape configuration is ‘Woodlore knife familiar’ and a superb shape. The mechanism and lock are both positive and were easy to use one handed, this was safe for opening and closing. The hand scale shape is ergonomically very well thought out including the shape of clip which in my size 9 hand fitted perfectly with the contours of the hand. Con’s. I used the knife to make feather stick and found a section of the blade close to the handle ‘dragging’ slightly during cutting. I decided to remedy and sharpen the knife using all the recommended Waterstones exactly in compliance with Ray’s video – sharpening a knife at camp. After sharpening I discovered that the tips of the G10 scales (top of the blade) had caught on the sharpening stones and worn two significant dents into the scales. These scales slope, significantly, about 45 degrees across the end of the blade for good hand ergonomics. This feature differs to the ‘Woodlore’ / Wilkinson Sword type and other knives so, I recommend CAUTION and modification to sharpening technique (To avoid catching the angled scale tips) if using Waterstones for sharpening. The G10 scales are so light in material I did not feel any drag on them during sharpening (my fault!). I’m not yet convinced that the G10 scale material which look similar to plastic at the unintentional dents/wear is going to be a long term robust enough material. I am allocating 4 stars as Spyderco do not offer scale replacement.

  Great 'little' folding knife. A very ergonomic handle with an efficient and non aggressive blade. The lock (compression - lock) is very strong and efficient too. I am fully happy with it. It is not a surprise regarding the quality of Spyderco products and as far as it is based on a Ray Mears' design, it can only be a success. Most of all, I want to mention the quality of the service provided by your company. A fast postage and information for tracking were a complete surprise. Thank you.

  Awesome knife. Feels comfortable in your hand and is the right size for most uses along with woodcarving. Exceptional build quality.
