Brother you got that right :D I consider the C-60 Ayoob one of Spyderco's Ultra-Classics :cool: I do EDC mine quite often within a typcial month and I particularly love the SPRINT G-10 handled version which is my main EDC version of the AYOOB model. I was literally heartbroken when they didn't offer the Sprint version in Spyderedge
Because many people besides myself really believe that was Spyderco's very best Spyderedged blade ever.
But the ergos of the AYOOB are superb>> it is right up there with the C-54 Calypso model and the Military IMO. But there is something about the configuration and the overall blade geometry that put it in a league of it's own IMO.
I was very disappointed recently because about 3 weeks ago I launched a thread asking people if they liked the idea of a smaller scale Ayoob for EDC? One reason I thought about that was because a lot of our brethren live in cities and states that have extremely draconian knife and gun laws and I was thinking that an Ayoob with a smaller blade would be ideal for those who live in areas of restrictive knife laws and there are a lot of people that like a blade 3 inches or less for their main EDC. I thought it would be a WIN-WIN!! for Spyderco and the end line user. But there was hardly any response to the idea
But congratulations on a great find and I know in my gut you'll end up loving that model as much or more than I do. Anyone who I've gotten to actually use the AYOOB model usually ends up liking it. It will probably be in my JD's TOP TEN favorite Spyder list for many years to come>> I'm confident of it :cool:
