I do. I have my share of one hand openers but have been carrying a Pingo and Swayback Jack at work for the past few months. I find that I am less likely to attract a second glance when I use a two hand opener.

The wire clip is my favourite style of clip. I only wish is that the Dfly carried deeper like the Sage series

I have large hands and have never had any issues with one hand opening. The size means that I can't flick it open like a Delica or Sage, but flicking knives open is a bit too flash for me. :)

Kershaw Skyline in the car. I've polished the bead blast finish off of the blade so even with condensation in the winter rust is not an issue.

Might be heresy 'round these parts, but I find the Axis Lock makes my BM Sequel most fun to play with. I also like to pinch the Spydie hole of a D4 between my thumb and middle finger and spin the closed knife (I have large hands).

Salt I for opening gifts. Then on to the kitchen for peeling sweet potatoes and tailing and topping green beans

Nope, I toss em all. All of my blades are users and the boxes would just take up space.

Ergonomics -Spyderco knives feel more comfortable in hand than any other knives I own.

Go for the Salt.

I have the H1 Dfly and it's a great user. The yellow handle makes it very nkp friendly. Folks at my office who regard my Caly 3 as a "shiv" find the Dfly "cute"

I like the yellow H1, but purple'd be nice too!

I'm liking the yellow H1, but purple'd be nice too...

I have the G10 Caly 3, and it is one of my favourite ESCs. I tend to prefer 2.5" to 3" blades for my daily users. They get the job done and attract very few sideways glances in the office.

Try knifelawsonline.com. They should be able to help.

I often carry a Wenger Standard Issue or Alox Soldier. The tools are useful and it is a good lending knife when somebody says "may I borrow your knife?"

How about unclipped in your pocket?

How about a CRKT Folding Razel?

I tell them that I don't have as many as this guy....yet!

I have some BM, Kershaw and SAKs and enjoy them all. The reason is that Spydies find their way into my pocket most frequently is the ergos. I find that they fit my hand better than any other brand of knife. I also prefer the spydiehole to thumbstuds.

Great review. I'm waiting for the H1 version.
