If for some reason, all your knives were taken tomorrow, and the only way you could aquire another Spyderco, is to let either Sal or Eric choose for you, which would you choose and why?
If one of the Glessers had to pick a knife (or knives) for me, I would want it to be Sal. Both he and Eric design great knives, and I own models designed by both, but Sal's designs have a different flair to them. Maybe it's the sometimes subtle (sometimes not so much) hints of classic design traits, that I find are both visually appealing and functionally amazing. I think the nostalgia is appealing for many people. Maybe it's just me sticking with what's comfortable.
The P4 and Endura are two knives I could never part with, especially the P4, since it's got one of the best folding knife handles I've ever held. The Shaman is right up there as well.
I love the Manix and the models that the Glessers worked together on, but there are more models designed by Sal that speak to me, than models designed by Eric.
Maybe I need to try more knives.
