Not to be too "old school," but don't forget that if you feel the need to be discreet, you can always just drop a Spydie down into your pocket ala an old-fashioned pocketknife. I used to do this from time to time with my Delica. It would work even better with the smaller models. IMHO, clip...

Endura lightweight plain-edge. I plan to keep on beating on this knife for a LONG time!

Endura lightweight plain edge.

Hate to say it, but I regretted buying a Spyderco Wayne Goddard lightweight. Don't get me wrong, it was a nice enough knife, just too darn big for my tastes (I bought it from an online shop sight unseen). The good news is that I was able to trade it for an almost new Endura that I love.

Joyce:
I've very curious, in what context did a Spydie appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno?

>"Never-the-less we, and the AKTI must keep this in check ..."

=======================

Agreed.
With that said, what has AKTI <i>done</i> lately to undo this sort of bogus perception?

Once in high school a bunch of our gym lockers got ransacked by some POS punk. One of our football coaches was helping to clean up, and helping to put everybody back with their stuff (their stuff that hadn't been stolen, I mean). I was one of the last guys in the locker room when he opened a locker ...

You can take supreme comfort from this: "Spyderco warrants that all of our products are free from defects in material and workmanship."

If Spyderco made it, I wouldn't worry about it.

How about the Buck HitchHiker model?

There are quite a few Spydies that I'd never buy. I'd have no use for a Harpy, Civilian, L'il Temperance, Bob Lum Fixed Blade or Tanto Folder, Chinook, Matriarch, Massad Ayoob, Khalsa, Shabaria, Merlin or Cricket.
I guess I'm just boring, but I don't like any of the "weird" Spydies.

============================

Don't get hasty, son.

I have a plain-edge Endura lightweight - what a great knife! Great for camping, hiking, defense/peace of mind, simple utility, etc. I’m kind of a traditionalist at heart, so for me the benchmark of quality, affordability (which is important to me), and ruggedness, has always been the venerable Buck ...

For what? I just wrote that I don't think you're a fool for doing what you did.

>"you may ask me doubtfull questions, and even insult me, or think i am a fool for doing what I did, but ..."

========================

I don't think you're a fool for doing what you did.

>"Just bought SS Police in ATS-55 and I love it. I take back my older comments about 55." ==================== Jeez it doesn't take you long to make up your mind about a steel, does it? I usually have to use a knife for a few weeks, getting it dull through work and then re-sharpening it an...

I'd like to put in a vote for a Czech flag.

>"Do you guys think it's too much knife to travel discretely with? It is a very none threatening shape and plain edge." ==================== You CAN and should be discrete with it. If the Federales give you grief over the knife, it will likely be - not because it's too vicious looking or l...
