In the right hand column you can browse by size, designer etc.

Visually I do like Eric's original designs though Sal's 6th sense of ergonomics has his knives practically married to my hands.

I think Eric still has some growing to do. I like some of his designs and I hope the future takes him into more designs that I enjoy. It will be interesting to watch as his tastes and preferences change and evolve.

The nice thing about Sal is his open mind. From what I've seen, there seems to be almost nothing off limits to him and he pushes the envelope on everything. His only limits are in terms of quality, which is great. It is a good example to pass down, I think the next generation of knives will perform very well.

I can't really name favourite designs from either, especially Sal has probably had his fingers in play with pretty much any model they have pumped out. :p

Sal's designs exhibit great ergos and are what I would say an everyman's knife, the ergos work for the majority of the people and don't look TOO weird. :D

But every design by Eric I have handled so far just MELTS in my hand! May not work for everyone but they sure as **** work for me! :cool:

i love so many of spyderco's designs, and know that both sal and eric have played key roles in developing them.

my favorite design marked "sal" -- probably the military
my favorite design marked "eric" -- probably the manix 2

Like many, its a toss up between the two...

Being both have spydies in their blood, I cant choose!



Maybe I will count the Eric desgins and Sal desgins that I have owned and currently own and see who is on top.


Though Eric did kick *** with the Dodo :D

Eric: Dodo/Manix
Sal: Caly Jr and family (UK, Caly 3, Urban, Squeak)

I own more Sal designs, but I'm not sure that means much. If there were as many varieties/sizes to the Dodo and Manix, the numbers would even out.

+1. I agree with Chuck.....the Military and the Original Manix.

That is the first thing that I thought of, lol.......priceless. :D

IMHO, Eric is a chip off the ol' block, and then some, but Sal is still the Alpha Spyder.

Funny, If there was ever a dispute here, they could call it American Chopper too.
