Just got onto my brand new office chair and am now sitting in it looking at my colorized photo of Barefoot Simone. This is all so cool. I do not recall ever having been this excited before. Gawd, I do love these off-topic knife forums . . . .

Stainless Spidies

Can anybody tell me which Spyderco knives have been (or still are) available in all Stainless models? I can only think of the original Mariner, the Diver and early Police.

Picking my Spydie

Help! I'm about to make my first Spyderco purchase from some old and new favorites. I 've narrowed down my want list to an original NIB Mariner, a mid-80s Diver or a newer Police and Native 11. Any suggestions as to which one's the best bet as a multi-use keeper?
