Hello from Argentina!!
Spydermania seems to be a serious thing. Collection keeps growing and it never seems to have an end.
I got a new blog about knives, and show my present collection there.
I cordially invite to see them at:

Hope you like them ...

Thank you so much for your very kind comments. I´m delighted to know that you liked this new work by Mr. Montejano, and I agree that he is really a Master of this art. It´s a pleasure to share these pictures with all of you.
Very cordially, Abel.

Hello dear fellow forum members!!

Here is again the Spyder fan from South America.
This time, I´d like to share a new knife embelished by my good friend Antonio Montejano, Master Engraver from Albacete, Spain.
Antonio was very kind to send me these pictures of his latest work.

This particular ...

Hi from the South!

Interesting thread! Taking a look to my log, (and to my VISA statement!), I see that March has been a very busy Spydy month to me:

Delica Wave
Tasman Salt
Persian
Endura Foliage Green
Delica ZDP British Green
Blue Dodo
Black Calypso JR ZDP
Goddard Burgundy
Jess Horn Burgundy ...

Thank you for kind answer Catamount! I will visit Mr. Krein web site and contact him. Thanks and enjoy your great Spyders!
Abel

Dear Paul:
Thank you so much for sharing these pictures, and congratulations for your adding such a masterpiece to your already wonderful collection of Spyders.

Being honored to be a personal friend of Antonio Montejano, and proud owner of several other of his pieces, I was aware that he was ...

hello Catamount! Nice great work on your Endura! I love flat sides grinds, and I wish Spyderco would offer this option on Delicas and Enduras.
That´s a very professional work. Will you please advice some web page or mail to contact Mr. Tom Krein for a similar work?
Thank you!
Best regards, Abel

Thanks Mr Blonde! Yes, I´ll try the Delica with the sharpmaker this week end.
Regards, Abel

Thank you again Yablanowitz.
I agree with you: I don´t like dull knives either.
I´ll have a little work this week end with my hones over the little Delica!
Best regards, Abel

Yablanowitz: That´s amazing. You surely must look really "sharp" with all those Spydies!!
Well, that´s something, when some people say I exagere when they learn that I carry 5 or 6 knives with me daily!

These days I carry:
Spyderco Caly3, Delica Brit green ZDP and Manix. In my pants.
A Calypso Jr ...

Thank you for your comment Yablanowitz! I´m getting fond of my Delica, will keep EDCing it.
When you say "once I got rid of that burr" you mean by your own sharpening, or just use?
Thank you again. Abel



Abel, my first ZDP Delica came from the factory with a small burr on the edge. It felt razor ...

I agree with John G. again. It´s not only the cosmetic look of the dent what boders me, but mainly, the shorter "walk" (or displacement) the lock release offers to the thumb to unlock the blade.
Abel

I think that having the option of colors is a nice thing to have. Not necesarily fluo or very bright colors, but color options. New greens of Enduras and Delicas are great, as well as the burgundy. Nice the blues and yellows too!
Abel

Captain: I fully agree with you.
I don´t care for the Boye dent.
I´ve been using folding knives with back locks all my life, and do not need the said dent.
I find detracting in its looks, and specially in the operation of knife.
Best regards, Abel.

Hello Jaislandboy! Seems that your Manix gets a close feline look. Both species are very nice indeed!
Thanks to all of your fellow forumners for your kind comments.

As an additional comment, I´m now EDC my Manix (CE), a Caly 3 (VG-10) SE and a Delica British Green ZDP SE. Trying to subject three ...

Hello Kristi:
Thank you for the information about the Bi fold. It´s sad to know that, and specially if this means that an ingenious new type of "folding knife" will be unavailable. I collect Spydercos, as well as curious types of folding knife mechanisms, and was very interested in getting a Bi Fold ...

Hello!!
Some days ago, I posted my last additions to my Spyder stable, and showed my new Mini Mannix among them.
I put this big knife in the "collectors" section, but two days ago I changed my mind and decided to put it into use.

Its a big and rather heavy knife for my EDC tastes, but I wanted to ...

Thank you all for your comments. I´m delighted to know you liked the pictures and knives. It´s so nice to share our knives among us and to know each other pieces!

Clovisc: old Calypso Jr black micarta keeps wining against new Caly3. May be the new Delica British Green will replace both. Let´s see ...
