Thant's very nice work, and a generous gesture.

Your steady hand makes the end result look more easily done than most folks might think, if they have never done any leather work.

Very cool shot indeed. Now who's going to take a similar picture with a Ladybug? Or any of the other "bugs" (Honeybee/ Grasshopper/ Cricket) for that matter? Of course, if you really feel lucky you can try it with an Ocelot :D I posted an ATS55 Cricket with two Jerusalem Crickets the othe...

Fantastic photo. I have been trying for a few years to get a dragonfly x 2 photo. Here, they prefer to land on the tip of a plumeria, and all attempts to pre-set a dragonfly knife result in them selecting a knife-free plumeria. Best I have been able to get are knives in the foreground six feet from ...

I prefer to break apples in half before eating. Easier to take bites without a gaping maw, especially for larger apples. Also makes it easy to share, for example when hiking. Of course slicing can be a fun option when sharing with some folks. "Wait, what else do you use that knife for?" &q...

Happy Birthday, Mr. Blonde!
Thanks for all you do for the most intensely awaited thread each year. ;)

What a marvelous gift from the girls--treasure for life!

Never owned a Cricket, but I have http://i.imgur.com/0gRc1lh.jpg Haha heh! Jerusalem crickets with an ATS-55 PE Cricket: https://i.imgur.com/ql6kpKV.jpg An upgraded Cricket: https://i.imgur.com/Q6uZGJ3.jpg I'm all in for any upgrades or variants. A fob doesn't suit my carry preference, and when car...

First post to this thread. I recently got a nice used Civilian Eco-drive dive watch. Used it yesterday on a quarry lake dive. https://i.imgur.com/QKOVPhA.jpg Edit: oops! No Spyderco. :o Nice! I have a fondness for vintage dive (and other) watches, and have some uncommon old Citizens. Always enjoy s...

That's a beautiful Cricket you have there sir. Thank you, Connor. For several reasons that one has special meaning for me, and I'm grateful I got it when I could. I hope they do another run of the Teal Dragonflies. While the initial response to the Teal Delicas seemed tepid initially, compared to t...

Still no pics? OK, I'll put up a few. If they elicit grumbles, I'll borrow Tommy Lee Jones movie quote, "I. Don't. Care." The Dragonfly is one of my most carried watch/coin pocket second Spydie, followed by the Cricket. The mint green/teal colored Grivory is compared by some to a turquoise...

Some fine move quotes, folks.

Spyderco cross link flashback, way back: At one of the Great Western shows at the LA County fairgrounds/Fairplex, a few decades ago, Sal Glesser meets two guys in Hawaiian shirts; one of them: Robert Hays. (the other was just some guy, LOL)

As a moderately enthusiastic birdwatcher (uninterested in "lists"), I encourage folks to look up cinnamon, blue-winged, and green-winged for fun. Meanwhile awaiting arrival anon of the Dragonfly Teal version, here's a previous color comparison with the Teal Delica and a color-labeled Steri...

We need more color variety, blues and reds. That'd be nice. Also some greens, please. Here's a rara avis in burgundy. Might need the help of Doc Brown for trip back a decade to a little knife shop in Tokyo (now closed) which used to have !surprise! JDM variants. I'm a big fan of the Dragonfly in ma...

I broke my shoulder in 3 places and some of my fingers. One side of my face is swollen black and blue and my eye is swollen shut. Someone said it is an improvement in my looks. Thank God I hand on armored jackect and gloves. So sorry to hear of your accident, Doc, and glad it wasn't as bad as we mi...

Great photos of sentimental Spydies, many thanks to each of you. Here's some late add-on with info about the model. This is a Mariner "Paramedic" version. Key points: 1. Slab side scales like other early Mariners 2. "Short" back lock 3. Unmarked steel; Paramedics were GIN-1, same...

I'd like to see this knife next to a Lil Native, for blade stock thickness and overall size...if anybody happens to have both? Rick, among the other Urban threads, it looks like no one has responded to you, so here are some comparison pics for you with the LN Comp lock version: https://i.imgur.com/...

So sorry for your loss. Condolences to family, friends and loved ones.

Here are some comparisons with the original Seki-made Urban, in Foliage Green G10 and VG10. Top to bottom, FRN K390, FG G10 VG10, Coyote brown FRN AEB-L: https://i.imgur.com/wLrkbE2.jpg Interestingly, the G10 Urban has the same "mid-deployed" angle as the new FRN/Coyote brown: https://i.im...

Hello Doc Dan, I owe you some pics per your request. The early morning June gloom of SoCal does not bring out the best color and brilliance of these SFSW examples. The Deacon has better photos on his site of a wider array than the few below. I've arranged these chronologically, as seen with steel ty...

Hello Doc Dan, Sounds like you're dialed in with the oatmeal. I'm a regular consumer, usu with dried bueberries, cranberries, walnuts/almonds, maple sugar, cinnamon--varies.
