Spyderco pushes the envelope, thought I should do so, too... :D

Quest for perfect knife.
When it comes to Spyderco.
Sal always knows best.

Or in other words.
The Journey was long to get;
to where I began.

KISS is the main creed.
Endura and Delica.
Icons of this creed.

Haikus are traditionally lines 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and then 5 syllables. It takes some thought for sure. The middle line is always longest. They are meant to be pondered. For example, a haiku about autumn woods would leave you thinking about the colors, the smells, the beauty, perhaps the animals, or even the intricacies of a leaf. For a Spyderco, it should conjure up thoughts of form, uses, workmanship, enjoyment, and anything else the knife means to you.

Their blades have holes for my thumb
Haikus are so dumb

The edge is a ghost
Which spydie do i love most
Haikus are stupid

Should i EDC
My bug or my Tatanka
Haikus still so dumb

Haikus are SO dumb
Inmates hide blades in their bum
Haikus are less fun

A heart, struck with love.
Bleeding amongst the faithful.
Was that love too sharp?
