Navigator (with company )

jah · #1

First off, thanks Spyderco for the great product and cool forum!

Attached are some pics, first of a Navigator I purchased purchased because of my travelling at the time. My EDC is a Delica, but had read in the "popular" press that there was rumbling of serated knives being a potential "issue". Browsed Spyderco site, saw the knife in the first pic below, ordered :)
Very happy camper when I got it, just felt right, very tight, well thought out.

Then 9/11 occured.......

Here is the rest of my collection, minus my everday carry Delica :rolleyes:

Finally my first Spyderco, a Delica, lasted for years until my abuse finally broke it

I did have another identical one that I had "lent" to my wife :p

I found it one day stuck in the dirt in the front yard, so went out and bought a cheapy no name for her garderning, and "recovered" it. Its been my EDC for the last few years :cool:

PS: This was the knife that was stuck in dirt in the front yard for at least a month, cleaned up perfectly.

Spyderco makes a great knife! Saturday I added a Katambit, Botach had them marked down to 59.99 so broke down and got one :D

When I took it out of the box from New Graham Knives (knifes?), I went WOW. I had never seen one in real life, so when I finally handled it, it really made an impression. "Industrial" came to mind when I first held it, love the look and feel with the ball lock. Its a bit to heavy and big for me as an EDC, so hasn't replaced the Delica. All in all another great Spyderco, but not an EDC for me currently.

PS: Steven, Guess Chicago has a very short blade lenght and no point law/laws?

I love the pollywog, but wish it were 3/4 it's current size. I just can't justify fitting it in with my Spin, Cricket, Copilot, and Delica 4.
