Can't wait 🎃

My handful of Spyderco orange HAP/ REXtober goodness, minus an orange Byrd Rescue.

The bloodwood Ben Hogan seems to go with the Halloween theme, so joins the Chief here.

If you’re looking for a big Orange folder this month it’s tough to beat the Cutlery Shoppe Exclusive Native Chief Satin XHP & Orange G-10 for $155!

I truly do not understand why these are still in stock. The coated ones sold out much quicker, it these linger even after the price drop.

Great picture Sir and thank you for confirming my suspicion that that orange PM2 wharnie exclusive matches the Spyderhawk sprint marvelously, not just in color but also shape.

Not sausage, like Nati Amor intended, but a frozen pumpkin spice Twinkie is close enough!

Did the patina on the stainless part happen naturally?

No, it was forced with sulfuric acid.

Well I gotta say, when you pay for the good shipping through UPS you do at least get what you pay for. I put the order in Sunday morning knowing that Blade HQ wouldn't get it sent out until some time Monday, and I'm leaving town Thursday so I splurged for next business day shipping to make sure it wasn't sitting on my door step while I'm on vacation. BHQ sent me an email Monday at 3:51pm (I believe would have been 1:51pm their time) and UPS shipping estimated it would be delivered Monday by noon and the guy dropped it on my porch literally at 11:59am today. That's less than 24 hours to get from Utah to Kentucky. Not bad BHQ/UPS. Well done boys.

I'm so tempted to do a blade swap, but that DLC version is my One Ring, I don't think I can do it. I've got a blade mod planned on the orange one, I just couldn't bring myself to grind up the DLC.

Well said!

I have the orange Autonomy and can only, legally, enjoy it on my own private property. I would own and use many more autos if I didn’t have to risk them being confiscated for no good reason.
