It's been long retired (2015?), but this post is a tribute to my favourite pocket knife of all time...

Hi talesk, thanks for your words. It's the craftsmen excellence who developed and handcrafting this folder for hundreds of years. There is a "fejesgörge" with a sun motive in Larry Mott post ...

That design looks like Ed Schempp might have had something to do with it.

I answer instead of Mr. Shempp. It's my design. This is my second collab with Spyderco. The first was the Hungarian. Thanks all for the positive feedback.


Very intriguing knife you've made here! Any insights into ...

[quote="Sequimite"]As busy as the folks at Spyderco have been this year, I can't believe how many models were on the table.

Hi!

I am a completly new member here, living in Hungary.
I just started read this forum, because I bought a Spyderco Viele 2, just little bit than a month ago. This is my EDC knife. This is a great knife!
