I also EDC my yellow SE Tasman. Great blade, surprisingly easy to sharpen on the Sharpmaker. And I use it virtually everyday in a country where it is supposed to be illegal (wording here is important, I claim fair usage). Although hawkbill is not the most sheeple friendly blade, I only need to be ca...

1st option Let's do some maths :D Classic = (Great knife)x(small number)2 To become a classic, could we say that a knife must first be a commercial failure before being recognised as a good knife? :mad: classic example would be Caly jr. In other words, a highly collectable spyderco is a good knife w...

I would certainly have one. I carry Carbon steel regularly (Opinel and Laguiole) and would love a Spyder's touch on carbon. Plus, with the little knowledge I have gained of the Company and it's peopleover the last few month, I just KNOW it would not be just any kind of carbon steel...

Not trying to be smartass but this is so-so price of Ford Focus, isn't it? And yet for this price lot of options (like metallic paint) don't need to be there. (therefore more likely Ednura class than Manix class , IMHO) Huugh, Sorry but you were beeing a smartass. Car prices in your country (or min...

I love my grey Caly Jr, but i had to vote for my new EDC, Yellow Tasman.
it's sheeple friendly (the colour, not the blade :D ) and easy to find when out of your pocket. Plus I do not go with that stealth tactical mall ninja thing. But tht's just me :p .
If you have it flaunt it! ;)

...so mini or full manix is my 2 cents Couldn't agree more. Manix is awesome as a utility, and looks (is) really big if you have to use it for SD. If it can scare the BG, all the better! Yous other option for SD is the dragonfly: you pull it out, the BG rolls on the floor crying with laughter and y...

My bad. Frame lock the whole side of the frame locks the blade, linerlock only the inside (the liner, doh!) locks. I had a small doubt (hence the brackets) but English not mother tongue...

If you guys want to see a perfect example of a liner lock look at some of Kit Carson's knives, noboby makes them better or more perfect than Kit. If you're talking CRKT I'll have a mili instead, please. :) As to a perfect liner lock (if I understand that term correctly) I'll go for a Sebie. But you...

Let me first start by saying I am left handed. However, martial art training means that I use shinai, boken and katanas like a right handed. Which means I have no problems using my folders with either hand. I believe there is great wisdom in this. The historical purpose was dual: 1) it was safer and...

Hi Abouna For your info (in case you don't know, I sure didn't on my first days here) Sal is the President of Spyderco. He is also responsible for a lot of the designs, so you are in the best hands to choose exactly the knife you need. My only 2p will be: do not focus on the aesthetics. As Sal said,...
