I usually carry my Delica4 and a UKPK or an Ambitious. I also like carrying both of my Tasmans with my SE Native from time to time.

Replies: 10

I have both and use both on a pretty constant basis. My D4 is a PE and my Tasman is a SE. I've used the Tasman a little more often than my D4 however both find their way into my pocket in preparation for the workday. If something needs a lot of cutting (such as breaking down 3-layered cardboard) I ...

Yeah. I have 7 with 3 more on the way. That and it all started last October with an Endura, the others were purchased starting in June until now. Being deployed is nice though as things take a few weeks to arrive. Delicas are very nice too (Just received mine on Saturday).

Just admit it, you've ...

When at work I carry my Endura 4 clipped in my left front pocket and occasionally one of my two Tasmans (one PE one SE) in my back left pocket. Wearing coveralls in the Navy allows for rather large knives to be carried comfortably.

Now when I am off the ship in the States, it is usually my Endura ...

Received my Squeak during yesterday's mail call (mail takes a while to get to a deployed ship so it is a little like Christmas every time) :D . I like it very much. As many have said before it is a light and handy little knife with a touch of class (like the big man's involvement and his trademark ...

I have 5 right now. With the exception of the Ambitious and Grasshopper, they all see good use on a daily basis. My Tasmans and Endura have been holding up very well and continue to impress me. Will give an end of deployment review of the Tasmans once I get back stateside. The Ambitious I use not as ...

Automatic Spyderco's

I have a question to the more experienced Spyderco fans and the staff as well.

I am interested in purchasing a 83mm Citadel and was wondering if it was possible to ship it to my current location (currently deployed on a USN destroyer). Is there anything special I need to know about? Any advice/help ...

Another good idea for a rendition of the Starmate is maybe having the ability to mount the pocket clip so us lefties (yours truly included) can carry it with ease. Granted if it came out righty only I would still get it as it is an outstanding knife.

We're looking into it now. Same pattern, same grinds. Thinking about dual skeletonized liners, Peel ply G-10. Would like to hear your suggestions. Would probably make it in Seki and use VG-10.

You know you're into knives when mail call happens on the ship and after it's over poeple ask if you got another Spyderco in the mail (guilty as charged on a few counts so far).

You also know you're into knives when people from the command (some who you never talked to) come up and ask you about ...
