All four are different and very high-quality!

I agree. My K2 is great.
I also love my Vallotton and Domino.
I need more Taichung treasures to be sure.

Am I the only one who saw that Ram had all four of them knives and thought?

"I need to do whatever he does for a living"

Well that and I kinda giggled when I saw the Chubby. Aptly named little knife.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

I have a soft spot for the high-quality Taichung folders. If anything, as good they were, they have upped the designs, materials and milling! When they say they're custom quality they're not kidding!

Another outstanding one that came out in March 2014 is Chaparral Stepped Titanium. The milling on the titanium handles are just superb!

Taichung puts out arguably the best production level knives on the market in terms of construction. Definitely my favorite Spydercos.

Ramzar, that's a nice photo. I could only catch the beauty of the light in a video. In motion is where it looks amazing.

The clips on the last two look really interesting. Any comments on ergonomics?

I've got another Taichung treasure on the way, the Nilakka. Pretty stoked about it. Always wanted one.

My Sage3 is my smoothest Spydie with the best fit and finish of any of the Spydies I own. They certainly know what they are doing.

The Nilakka is an interesting knife. There's nothing else quite like it in the lineup. Let us know how you like it.
