Navigator is my new co-pilot

Post by AllenETreat »

Just got my SE Navigator from SMKW/eknifeworks.com yesterday ; I'll hang up the SE Cricket for a spell and carry this

little bugger instead.



What say the augurers?

I've never had a cricket, but I go back and forth between my navigator and my delica for edc. I say the navigator is the best small knife I've ever had, hands down. My dad has a meerkat, it's great too but a little chunkier and for me harder to use

I have one of the almite ones in PE, find it very nice but quite slippery and thus harder for me to open than some of the other similar size Spydercos. Have as yet been unable to get my hands on one of the G10 ones in PE, imagine that would solve the slipperyness issue nicely.

I am anxiously looking forward to the new Naviagtor II. Wood scales, bolsters, and a flat ground blade put that one right up there with the Kopa as my most eagerly anticipated Spydies.

And, considering the price they can be found for these days, am seriously considering getting another almite one, roughing up the flat area of the handles a bit with sandpaper, then epoxying wood scales to it and finishing them off.

I think the Navigator is a great little knife with one exception. I own three of them in PE. Two of them have developed the side-to-side wiggle. That alone bugs the **** out of me. The two wigglers have been retired to glorified letter openers. I sure hope the Nav 2 will have a torx screw (or whatever the proper name is) to adjust the tension.
