Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies

[DSH007]

Jerry Brouwer - Brouwer
Ray Mears- WolfSpyder
Lance Clinton - Siren
Alistair Phillips - Kapara
LionSteel - Lil' LionSpy

There are many others, but these are the first that jumped to mind, so I must like them better than the rest, right?

The only collab I have is an incoming Spyopera. I tend to gravitate towards the FRN models, so most collaborations don't appeal to me. I'm a big Micarta fan though so I couldn't resist the Spyopera.

The Kapara and the Gayle Bradley 2 are the only collabs I've owned. Both are recent acquisitions. Similar in size, but very different knives that compliment each other.

WolfSpyder-Ray Mears
Lil’ Nilakka- Pekka Tuominen
Bradley Folder 2- Gayle Bradley
Junction-Gayle Bradley
Province-Jim Ankerson/Darrin Sanders

• Yojimbo 2: Michael Janich
• Introvert: Chris Knutson
• Schempp Rock: Ed Schempp
• Waterway: Lance Clinton
• A.R.K.: Paul Shirley & Sam Owens

I've always wanted to try Fred Perrin's Street Beat but can't really justify the cost since I already have an Enuff (leaf blade version) and Janich's Ronin 2, both of which fill the same sort of size/use niche in my fixed-blade collection.

I only have one: The mighty Province by Jim Ankerson and Sanders.

With my affinity for most of the old School Spyders from what I affectionately call "The GOLDEN ERA of SPYDERs 1998-2004 I also believe that was one of the greatest times for the Collaborations as well.

FIrst and foremost the best one made by far in my opinion is the C-60 Ayoob PE & SE
Second is one I've always loved as a user in both SE & PE is the JD Smith PE & SE
Third may be one of my favorite "Eye Candy" pieces and its the LUM Tanto folder, CE
Fourth is a great mid- sized model we know as the C-56 Zowada PE
Fifth is one that has become rather obscure and I'm speaking of the C-42 Viele model PE & SE

I could go on for a while but I'll end there for now. Also looks like we might get a new C-60 Ayoob in the near future.

I can name only four collaborators but I’m sure happy with the rather different ones I have. Mine, in order of my preference, are:

Lance Clinton’s Siren
Ulrich Hennicke’s Ulize
Ed Schempp’s Kris
Gayle Bradley’s Bradley Folder “GB1”
Alistair Phillips’ Kapara
Marcin Slysz’s SpydieChef

With the recent arrival (and some use/carry) of two more collaborations, my list above is getting more old-school.

My plans suggest I will need to “allow” a bigger list. :p
