Spyderco Forums

Lsaulog,
Congrats on winning the pink cricket.
I was your opponent on e-bay (fred6666) but your limit was too high for me.
I hope you enjoy your knife.

Scolby,
Thanks!

Just a question.
Some people call the coating on the aluminum cricket 'Almite', while others call it 'Tufram'.
Can someone maybe clarify this?
Thanks,
Ted

Mattress,
I bought it like this approx one year ago from the Knifecenter. They had a very limited supply.
At first I thought it was done by Spyderco, but later I found out it was done 'aftermarket'.
The coating holds very well and I really like the knife.

Exact same dilemma here!
I carry the Cricket the most.
Well, I guess I should start carrying them both?

Lsaulog,
Thanks for that Edge-U-Cation tip!
That was the info I needed.

Hi, I want to buy a Native, but I'm not sure which one. (The SS or the FRN) From what I'm reading in the forums, most people prefer the FRN.

I carry an Almite Plain Cricket with me every day. Perfect knife! Highly reconmended! I have a serrated almite and a serated pink one in a drawer to give to my future kids... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middl...

Kahz,
I have quite a few tools and I would suggest a LM Pulse. I like the locking mechanism and smooth handles a lot.
If you don't need scissors, then the new supertool (200?) is even bigger and has a saw.
I'm a bit hesistant for the Juice series because they don't have locking as far as I know.

That mouse sure looks nice!

Well, I was looking for a aluminum cricket about 18 months ago. A friend had showed it to me and I really liked it. I couldn't find it anymore on any internet shops or regular knife shops, but when I walked into an adventure store, there was one lying in a display. They also couldn't find the box an...
