That Spyder Hole ... What's it good for??????

[cycleguy]

Besides the obvious of deploying and retracting the blade, what other uses have you found the Spyder Hole to be useful for? :rolleyes:

I've seen pics where it is used as a means to hang a knife in a convenient location. Last night and today I found the sharp edges will work a fire steel and can file finger nails (although maybe not its best use :D . Yes, I have some time too fill.).

What uses are you all finding for that Spyde Hole? :)

[VooDooChild]

Zip tie wave.
Spydieflick.
Spydiedrop.
Less likely to snag than thumbstuds.

I mostly just flick my hole. :p

I’ve used it to bend coat hanger into hooks and stuff like that.

Measuring spaghetti. 2 spydie holes=1 serving. (Pm2/3, shaman anyway).

Ha! Now that's creative. :D

[tonijedi]

Pull stuff, like nails.

[Ryder]

An existential thing, makes the knife lighter weight for backpacking and hiking or just walking around. I mostly use my knife for cutting in non emergency situations.

Pull stuff, like nails.

I've done that with my manix 2.

[Pokey]

For confirming that bolts are 12, 13, or 14mm at the hardware store.

[JuPaul]

For taking creative "through the spydie hole" pictures.

I'm pretty sure someone somewhere has hung Spyderco knives as Christmas ornaments using the Spydiehole as an attachment point.

Spydie knuckles

For playing peek-a-boo with little kids!

[Salty Dog]

Can use the hump to scale fish.

[ZrowsN1s]

Use it as a stencil to draw tiny circles.

[Fireman]

Put a lock through it to prevent theft.

You Guys & Gals are creative and humerous. Very valuable characteristics for a society. Makes me smile.

I have a habit of putting my thumb on the flat/side of the blade much more often than on the ramp.
The Spydiehole and the hump most Spydercos have to acommodate it simply offer more area on the blade for the thumb, and I honestly really like that. And since width in the pocket does not matter at all to me, the Spydie hole is a total win/win-thing for me.
Of course also due to its general advantages (better way of opening, no thumb studs protruding that can get in the way when cutting and so on)

[Wartstein]

Also my little nieces and other kids (and sometimes even ladies..) like when I compare particular Spydies to animals just by the looks (not KIDding! ): So the Native looks a bit like a shark, while the Endura does look more like a reptile or bird of prey. The Stretch a bit like a duck, and when it is closed like a sleeping duck with the head tucked partly under a wing.... :p :)
