What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I was over in the Peoples Republic Of Boulder this morning so I went old school with the Delica 3. Now I’m headed out around some of the local open spaces so I’ve switched to the Bradley Folder #2.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I carried my Maxamet Manix LW today. It was pretty sharp, but of course was still badly chipped from that incident awhile back:

Anyway I finally just got sick of it and decided to sharpen them out once and for all. This afternoon I clamped it into the WE and went to work.
Progression was 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 grit diamond stones, then a few passes on a 1 micron diamond leather strop. Looks so much nicer without those ugly chips! The angle is just a hair under 15 dps, and it is tree-topping hairs sharp.

Acting in defiance of the hot humid summer today and going full send with the super duper tool steels. Been carrying the K390 Endela for a few days with no ill effects, and the Maxamet PM2 needs to get out and play too.

Still the Gen 1 PacSalt PE.
Within seconds of taking these two photos, I bumped the knife and it fell tip first into the cement.
It's got a new tip and fresh edge now, lol.
Skinnies on the bike because lots of pavement riding lately, though they do fine on dirt paths too

A full suspension bike with road tires. I like it! :D

Older, "recycled" pic, but I do carry the Chap right now iwb, since I wear shorts with no pockets.
Yes, it's very small for my taste, but I don't feel "underknived" at all for a majority of tasks.

My posts are not getting in here. I have made some but they are not on forum. Other posters posts are. What is going on here?? Even head posts, I cannot see them in forum.

I really like this knife. So happy they gave us a second chance.

First three peppers off the plants this year :D
They're likely all hybrid, as I have them all close to each other
The orange Reeper went into lunch for this evening :) along with some cayenne pepper
The little Bird/Reeper Hybrid is going into the smoothie here in a bit :)
That big'ole red Ghost will be in tomorrows lunch :)
Still rockin' the Gen1 PE Salt, with a now tad shorter blade, and slightly different tip...

I still have this 2004 ZR9000 beauty. Other than the frame and cranks, everything has been rebuild/replaced. It helps me remember that I don't miss the 3x drive system at all. But I still enjoy riding it. Variety...

Hopefully nothing large needs separating today...
So it goes.

I’ve been carrying the Caribbean for the past week. It’s one of those models that once it gets in pocket it just seems to stay there.

Para 3 K390. I am on a serious kick for K390 these days. Did not think a non stainless steel would get this much pocket time but it has won me over.
