Great pictures! The Ti Salsa is still high on the wish list for me(I'm a sucker for the cobra hood), but you don't see them too often.
Really shows the detail in these knives well and serves as a good side by side between the Al ones and the Ti one :)

Beautiful knives! I especially like the raspberry one.

I agree, and with the aluminum it gets a very faint 'shine' or 'sparkle' that I can't really catch on camera.

An oldie, but a goodie, the Caly 3. I recently dusted it off from my collection cabinet and gave it another round of carry and use. What a superb folder..

Those Salsa photos are excellent! I'd say you use just a little better equipment than my iPad! ;)

Spyderco C65 Lum Chinese Folder - Rare Variant

#853

Post by Mr Blonde »

I showed off this rare variant of the Spyderco C65 Lum Chinese Folder before, and I recently got around to editing a little video on it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvXSPYJuFDE

Not only is this C65 a sprint run of an iconic design, made with a blue almite coated aluminum handle, it also demonstrates Spyderco’s engraving service at the time.

Beautiful knife, thanks for the vid!! :)

Would you mind if I posted a link to your post (the one with the vid embedded) on the general discussion forum?
Or you do that yourself?
I am sure quite a few people who´d miss this vid otherwise would really like to see the knife...
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Very good!! :)
The vid and the knife certainly more than deserve it, and here on the "Picture forum" many might miss it...

Spyderco C211 SpydieChef

Post by Mr Blonde »

I finally got a chance to give the SpydieChef a proper workout. It's a fine folder, I just prefer it with a bit more blade length and full serrations to make it a better folding food prep knife.

Spyderco C81 Paramilitary 2 2018 Forum knife

Every forum knife is a treat, especially this one. It sees far too much time inside the display case, it needs a bit of pocket time.

Awesome knives & awesome photography skills. I wasn’t able to view all the photos (iPad limits or reasons unknown) but the ones I did see were really really good! I couldn’t believe people could find any reason to critique your photos. My own photos are so far below standards I’ve actually stopped posting them after seeing yours and a fair number of others which made mine look like I’d taken them with a Polaroid!
