It's tough picking the "best looking." I'd have to name a few in my collection. In no particular order: Valloton: http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b425/racer88_bucket/Knives/vallotton002.jpg Kopa Abalone / Pearl (ooh baby!) http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b425/racer88_bucket/Knives/...

I'm glad I got one (a while back). I like the deep-carry clip. I think the corrugated scales are cool.

I like it! I'd like it even more with black-anodized hardware.

Welcome. Coming here is like a compulsive gambler moving to Vegas! ;) This forum has cost me a lot of money over the last few years. The Valloton is Spydie porn!

I have both a 92 Citadel and an all black PE Embassy. Both are nice, but both fill a slightly different niche for me. 1st let me say that if I had to choose only one, it would be the Embassy, hands down. It feels more robust in hand, despite its smaller size, and I 'feel' its a little better qualit...

I got my Digicam PM2 with the DLC blade. I just thought the black blade went well with the digicam scales.

I couldn't find a photo of my PM2 in DLC. But, here's a photo of my Digicam DLC Military:

Nice review. I think it's the most "handsome" Spydie I own (out of about 50). I haven't really carried it, yet. But, I'm happy to have it. Some close-up / detail photos: http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b425/racer88_bucket/Knives/Vallaton-G10.jpg http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b425...

It's called "cookies." Amazon knows if you've browsed a product before. If you come back a short time later (sometimes even just minutes), they jack up the price. Airlines do it, too.

Some folks have been asking if the Szabo scales are solid CF or G10 with a veneer of CF. It appears to be a veneer, if you ask me. Here are some super-close-ups: http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b425/racer88_bucket/Knives/Szabo-CF-4936.jpg http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b425/racer88_bucket/K...
