[Mr Blonde]

Very nice, love this thread!

One more to add...
The Squarehead. This was a calendar contest prize that I was able to pick up directly from the SFO. It's a nice, solid little knife.
Thanks again, Spyderco! :spyder:

Knife # 216 - October 2015.

Here's the orange and black CS exclusive Para 2. I really like this color combination, and very much enjoyed carrying this on Halloween!

What a fun thread. Read it in one sitting! I really appreciate your attention to which ride well in pockets and clip performance. It's easy to get caught up in the design and overlook the vital importance of how well a knife carries.

It's funny what we all look at first. For me. The clip is second right after blade shape and steel.

[gbelleh]

Yes, I do talk about clips a lot because they're one of the most important design aspects, IMO. The clip is often the reason an otherwise great knife doesn't get carried much.

Exactly.

Super exactly.

110% Agree.

Here's another...

The burnt orange, HAP40 Delica. I really like this color, and the blade came laser sharp.

Knife # 218 - December 2015.


I swapped the shiny clip with a black one, which I like better for carry. This is now one of my favorite Delicas.

[Liquid Cobra]

My heart skips a beat when I see this thread updated! Interesting you switched the clip, I was happy to see they came without a black one. Thanks for sharing.

Nice photos, Gino.

Loving my HAP40 Delica also. It has not left my pocket since I got it and is by far my favorite version. Mine also came scary sharp from the factory and can still push cut receipt paper even after breaking down cardboard, etc, after a couple weeks of EDC.

I may have to pick up the Stretch as well since I like this color and steel combo so much!

Just got this Battlestation today from Amazon for a very good price. The fit and finish of this one is excellent. It's heavier than I was expecting, but seems very solid and well built. So far I like it!

Knife # 219 - February 2016.

[spydieh0le]

The battle station has always intrigued me. No Hap40 Stretch?! :confused:

I do have one on order! :D

[gbelleh]

Latest one... the Positron. So far I'm really liking it!

I got mine recently as well and really like how it feels in hand, as well as being impressed with the build quality. Probably my biggest gripe, however, is the bottom point of the scale, right behind the choil, which gets in the way of my thumb when I'm opening the knife; just barely, but it's slightly annoying. Do you find yourself with a similar feeling, or is it not an issue for you?

[gbelleh]

Now that you mention it, I see what you mean about the scale potentially getting in the way when opening. But, I never really noticed it before.

I continue to be impressed by the lock fit on my Battlestation. Excellent work.

[Thorien]

Just read this entire thread over the last hour or two. WOW!
What a great collection and thank you so much for sharing it. Really enjoyed looking at how your collection has grown and what the new additions have been. As for that PM2 collection and having just got my first ever PM2, I was salivating looking at some of those....
Cheers.

[gbelleh]

Thanks for the comments.

One more to add today. The HAP40 Dragonfly arrived today! This one is nice and solid, and came scary sharp. :eek: I really like the burnt orange color on these!

Knife # 221 - March 2016.

[farnorthdan]

Looks real good Gino, especially the lamination line, how does the other side look? I've received 3 so far with one perfect the other two are a little off but not bad. Still amazed at how sharp these HAP's are out of the box.
