My :spyder: Stretch will be in early this week . Looking forward to see how it will compete to go in my pocket . Appears to be a very sweet knife and everything I would need for light carry hunting when have heavy walking is a must .

Thanks Sal and Spyderco !

Sal you are the GREATEST ;) ! Thanks for the info , you can be sure that I will be in line for one of the lefty Military knives , this is a dream come true ! One reason why I have so many Spyderco knives is that the company has their ear to the ground listening to the proud owners of their products .

Since I'm a lefty the old one was not an option and after handling one it only made the desire for the upgrade worse ! I must say the old blade was a little more to my liking , but the new has grown on me . Th...

ATR Project

Tossing around the idea of bead blasting the SS ATR handles . I think the flat look is more appealing to me and may give a better grip . Anybody have any thoughts on this subject ? Need some input before I jump into the fire .

I would go with the FRN VG - 10 steel model over the Stainless AUS 6 model any day . It is light and very strong with better steel , will not show the scratches from use and has a better grip . I have this model and might add that the Pacific model in H - 1 steel is becoming an outside favorite ; th...

Thanks Dialex !!

I confess ! Dialex is slowly bringing me around to liking smaller knives , picking up the Spyderco Q with the Spider cut out blade model . I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later . Thanks Dialex !Next one better be your design !

I have more Spyderco knives than Benchmade but are leading edge companies . Disapointed to hear that the Skirmish is not honoring the Hole patent but it is a righty so not on my list . I have carried Benchmade knives as an EDC and the 721 , 710 , and 805 are my favorites when in the mood . Spyderco ...
