I pulled out another variant FRN Calypso Jr from my cache of Calys, which is often forgotten (or folks wrongly think they do not exist): one of the Hollow Ground versions. Well known as HG in SS and Black Micarta, not often seen in FRN. This one is from 1999 or 2000. I don't have the box anymore for...

Fields of heroes I may add headstone pics of some I knew, and others. "By brooks too broad for leaping the lightfoot lads are laid." Thanks to all for their service, and the sacrifices borne by self, family, and loved ones. Congrats to you Michael on your fine Rhino design, come to fruitio...

Very handy, and again thank you for taking the time to retrieve, un-box, photograph, re-box, photo edit, write, research, and edit this lengthy piece. I'm somewhat humbled that you took the time for my little question. Ian You're welcome, Ian. Glad to put forth the effort and that you found it help...

Is there some reason why you blur the CC #’s in your pics?? I don’t know why I find that so bizarre... A reason? Sure. I am surprised you can't think of any. Privacy, maybe? Or is that too bizarre for you? Maybe, some, as requested by the original CC seller who wants transaction/ history privacy fo...

Thanks for the thorough article, Larrin.
Plus it was a great trip down memory lane in many ways for this old-timer.

cheers,

happened to have these two along for the ride today:

rescueseven, you snagged a nice old Military--congrats. Probably can't even find a flaw yielding "second" status. Enjoy. I'll elaborate a few comments on Military PS/SE 440V, ATS34, S30V of that era and transition, with a few photos. High points of chrono progression: ATS34 to 440V to S30V...

Partial Serrated Militaries in 440V were made 2001-2003

I obtained one of the OTS Yojimbo 2 CF 20CV and was surprised to find an obvious visible (and palpable) flaw. It appearead as a dark stripe on the front scale from the middle to the end, and also toward the pivot screw. Shifting the scale in hand made the contrast really "jump out," just l...

Mint green.

Many of us are not on Facebook either, that’s why we start threads about these knives when we first hear news of them... Natural G10 Native 5: //forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=79283 Pakkawood Dragonfly: //forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=79086 Smooth Black G10 Cruwear PM2: //f...

Thanks very much for the photos and review, Deacon.
I look forward to seeing your engraved Kopa 17.

Not sure these three are completely “out of the blue”... Each of these knives have been mentioned multiple times in multiple threads (with pics), so yes in keeping with Spyderco’s MO of not announcing exclusives until they’re upon us, it seems par for the course. Out of the blue in this case is rel...

Spyderco's unannounced special runs--limiteds/exclusives--have been popping up so quickly and frequently that it is hard to get set for them. A case of "expect the unexpected." Meanwhile, long-anticipated releases linger on approach, like the Rhino, Caribbean, Kopa, VTOKUs etc. This week t...

Maxamet with Forest Green G10 please
preferably with drop point blade

Guys, you're perhaps being to critical (I don't mean that in a bad way). I'd say any pocketknife is a whittler, if the blade's not too thick. That's what pocketknives are for. :) Here's a bit of fun I had with a Spy-DK. https://i.imgur.com/d8DmwN0.jpg Well said, Jazz. And well done with that whimsi...

Nice concise review, and fine pics as well. Thank you. For its size and refinement, I find it surprisingly robust as well. I am neither thrilled nor irked by the inlays; I do appreciate the visual / historical pun. BTW, this is only the second factory Spyderco with scales of G10 or Micarta to use in...

You and Charlton Heston in the title role of *his* favorite movie:

Will Penny: [to Catherine] "It's just a case of too soon old and too late smart."

good company.
