No problem at all ; the little critter spyderdropped on demand as of the first try. Like Mike Sastre said : hold on to the blade tightly as indeed it does take a bit stiffer flick than larger knives and you do not want to drop the Mickey Mouse of knives. Anyone tried to spyderdrop a real mouse ? <im...

Worker : well done Spyderco

I was visiting a friend in Frankfurt (Germany) and while strolling along I came across a great knife shop smack in the middle of the city. The NIB Commemorative Worker (nr 652) in the shop window was swiftly exchanged for some euro-stamped-paper and I stepped out poorer but happier ! :D If you look ...

I agree with you all ! The (G10) Nav is the only knife of which I have two. Problem for this little wonder in practicallity is that it has a lot of (in house) competition : Mouse, Co-Pilot, Meerkat, Salsa, ... J Smith : I second your idea for the CF Nav contest <img src="smile.gif" width=1...

I like both the Spydie and the Microtech. M is much more classy, S has a technically better lock I feel (since the lock itself is not touched by the hand when in use). M uses better steel (154 CM), S should be more stainless (compared to the non coated M). I had rust problems with both S and M. A (b...

Calypsokid, I like G10 just like you, so I support your idea for a G10 (cheaper) Mouse, but ... Just handle the mouse and compare it to the G10 Navigator, Almite or "plastic" Cricket, (CF) Dragonfly, Meerkat, ... (which I own and love) and you will feel the difference + ad the price for th...
