Re: WTC attack, what model did Spyderco distribute
Sal had 400 knives hand delivered to workers at the NY Ground Zero site shortly after the attack of 9/11. 200 black C14SBK Rescues went to the NYPD and 200 orange C45SOR Rescue Jr's for the NYFD. Amazing job by Sal and his crew. The orange one pictured below is the large Rescue used as a test knife ...

Re: Spyderco is the Rolex of the knife world
Quality never goes out of style, or loses value. I wear and carry the highest quality tools I can afford, Fortunately I purchased the watch 21 years ago when I could actually afford it. Man that is in amazing condition for 21 years old, the insert hasn't even began to patina. Looks like a service d...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I went to my local 9/11 memorial ceremony today.
I was proud to put this "Ground Zero" rescue in my pocket.

I have not ever seen an Ocelot in person, but I thought the paw prints were cute in the pictures. I wonder if instead of drilling holes all the way through the G10 they just had indents (for the paw-pads) would that still look nice but prevent getting blood and gunk stuck in there? Wasn't there a S...

Great looking Ti Police Yablanowitz. That was one of my favorites from that time in Spydie history. It was introduced at a time when only custom makers used Ti and ATS34. Unfortunately it was never made in plain edge. The original Military was another favorite of mine and was actually introduced in ...

Oh yeah. My everyday watch is my Explorer, bought it back in '04 on the eve of the RNC detail in Manhattan. I figured if I was going to go high order, it might as well be while wearing the watch I really wanted. Funny, I had the RNC detail on the Jersey side of the tunnel. Explorer is a nice one! I...

Very cool! The blade on the P.I.G. model is immaculate. You are obviously not an abuser. Thanks for sharing. Thanks Doug, The PIG Police was carried a lot more then it was used plus it was cleaned up a bit before retiring it to the display case. That one is also a plain edge which were harder to co...

All right Dave, I am still hoping to see a pic of that Police. That's job history right there. That's the kind of thing that's earned, and it's motivating to see. Give brother, Doug I've been a bit busy for a retired guy, but I finally had a few minutes to pull these oldies out of the display case,...

Tortoise, You bring up a very interesting point in realizing the benefits of the serrated edge in hard core tactical/swat use. I also found that nothing beats the larger serrated blades when having to rip through something when time is of the essence and technique goes out the window. I was part of ...
