Harpy. Yea baby. Harpy. I think you need the variety. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

How about a damascus blade version? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I think that the CF Civilian is one of the best knives made by Spyderco. The fit, finish, balance, and design are all first rate. IMO it is more comfortable to carry than the G10 version. The elegant looks also make it seem less tactical in appearance. A must have for collectors and serious users al...

Matt, you're gonna like that almite Navigator. Real slick! I'm starting to prefer the Nav's blade better than the Dragonfly's. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

G'day Bill. If you are able to find a dealer that carries both of these knives (or know people who own them), you should try handling both--preferably side-by-side--before deciding. They both have comfortable grips--in their own way. The Co-pilot seem to fit nicely in the palm area while the Navigat...

Congratulations!

This call for a celebration. I think I'll go out and buy another Spyderco knife. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

The color could also be done with almite. The blue(?) on the almite Navigator is nice. How about a Police with the same handle material and color as the new Navigator?

You're in trouble! The updated Viele is one sweet knife--premium materials (VG-10 & micarta), non-scary profile blade but sneaky tactical, not too "big" and not too "small" overall length. If you're right-handed there's a nice thumb shelf; if you're left-handed, you might wan...

I notice that some new lockback Spyderco's are coming out with the Boye cutout on the lock release. What are the advantages of this design versus the regular release that follow the profile of the handle? Is it to make it easier to locate the release in the dark or for visually impaired knife users?

Maybe the "weakness" is caused by the semi-circle cutout on the Shabaria's clip to expose the pivot screw (for adjustment clearance).

WINNER! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I see alot of Sal's thinking in the Military and other regular production models. However, I agree that a Glesser Custom Collaboration (not a regular production knife) is in order to honor one of the most influential knife designer on the planet. The knife should be a user and be made with premium m...

Thanks for the update. I think I'll go bug my dealer and help him make some money. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Congratulations Springer. Joyce, is it possible to post a picture of the knife? (Does this forum have the ability to display pictures?). Thanks

PsychMajor, I like the design and size of the Zowada. I only wish that it came with a VG-10 blade (w/plain edge option). The liner locking bar could be beefed up on the update as well (hint). The design almost begs to have the handle to be heightened in the butt to cover more of the swedge.

Why would you call them "men"? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Just kidding. Seriously, all they need is someone to educate them on the enjoyment and usefulness of a small pocket knife. Stress that it is a tool--not a weapon. To speed up their education maybe...

I feel the need to buy another Spydie. What is the next model (new or update) to be released and when is it due out? Can a schedule be posted for the upcoming releases for the next 6 months? Year? Need to see what's coming up on the radar screen so I can budget my money. <img src="wink.gif"...

Make mine with a VG-10 blade (plain edge) and a ti or aluminum handle. Hey, this is starting to sound like a Lum folder. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Anyone else out there who use graphite like earthworm? Can the powdered graphite eventually gunk up with moisture? Name brand?

When it comes to knives: Nothing (Spyderco hole) is always better than Something (thumb studs). <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
