Spyderco Forums

Though this thread is old. It's still very relevant. (Also comes first on google search)

There is an original right now for sale NIB on ebay going for $399

Should I consider going for it?

Thanks guys

So every feature requested by the OP was obliged with flying colors by spyderco except the blade's steel. Which is one of the most important features regarding it's designed use of cutting boxes which means edge retention.
Why was this ignored? VG10 is hardly the steel of choice for this.

If I'm being evacuated to a detention center: Yojimbo 2 (it's basically the ultimate prison shank).
Anything else: Starmate CPM440 (the original not the later cheap knockoff). The most complete folder Spyderco ever made.

The Holy Grail. The Spyderco knife one dreams about that doesn't exist..yet
I took the blade I love the most from the Sbazo + the scales i love the most from the Native 5 Fluted Titanium using Photoshop, to make my Spyderco Holy Grail.

I always liked the Chinese folders but never the scales (color aluminum, CF etc). the shape of the folder is so elegant and beautiful and in my opinion the scales never rose up to the folder itslef.
My suggestion (and dream) :
Spyderco Chinese Folder white Mother of pearl or Imperial Jade
