Most beautiful Spyderco
I'm waiting on a CF PE Delica. Should arrive next week. I have a feeling that will quickly become my most visually appealing Spydie. As for the A-10 - some things are so ugly yet purposeful and efficient that they actually become beautiful. Much like the P-47 a generation before. (Now if you want a good looking plane IMO then you could go to the Macchi C.205 Veltro - those Italians certainly have a flair!) Sorry if this went a bit astray.

Maybe, but I think that Grant and Gavin Hawk are moving in on that territory. If haven't seen their "External Toggle" knife - you should!!sal wrote:I've heard the word "fugly" was reserved for Spyderco knives.

I am getting one, but only after being persuaded by a very nice description and photo shoot by Eric over on USN. You can see them there - just search under "external toggle".

Difficult question. I think for me it is either the SS SE Police, the PE Military or the Ti PE Delica. The Viele is classy too and the Persian folder is a beauty. And the Calypso jr, the Cricket, the Navigator, the... somebody stop me! Thanks. 
OTOH, is the Warthog the same with A10 Thunderbolt?
