What Spyderco are you?
Disclaimer: SpyderEdgeForever did not put me up to this. :D
I had this crazy/dumb idea today to ask members of the forum what Spyderco are you?
Many people carry a knife to fit their needs, while others carry a knife to fit their style. Some do both and carry a knife that fits their needs while doing it with style. But if you had to pick a knife based on the kind of person you are, what Spyderco would you be?
I think I’d be...the Shaman.
I’m a big guy (6’2”), kinda quiet, keep to myself, I work hard. But give me a few beers and I can party with the best of em. To me that describes the DLC Shaman. It’s a large tough knife, unassuming blade shape, but very capable due to the grind, steel and compression lock.
I know, it’s a dumb thread. But maybe you’re bored. Curious to see what you come up with.

I’m a big man and strong. I’d be a Manix 2 back lock.

I reckon I’m a Sprig but beloved wife sometimes says I’m a pest (I deny this) so I might be a Bug? :confused:

Re: What Spyderco are you?
The answer is obviously techno due to my thick, short slabish body.
Re: What Spyderco are you?
I'm very big and definitely atypical.

Re: What Spyderco are you?
I like that thread!
I am almost 6.2 (187 cm) and very lean I guess, weighing 166 pounds (75 kg).
From decades of constant climbing and mountaineering I am quite strong probably and have some muscles built up.
I am not at all a suit and tie kind of guy, but more of a casual and outdoorsy one. In my job I can wear Jeans and T Shirt all day long no problem, when I am off work I am a lot in the mountains or wear climbing pants anyway cause they are so comfortable.
I am not wealthy, drive a cheap beat up car, do not own any fancy stuff and like it that way.
So... I guess I'd be an Endura sabregrind... Rather tall and slim, but still strong and hard to break, nothing fancy.
Maybe I'd have good worn in Micarta scales like my favorite Endura ffg has...

Re: What Spyderco are you?
Hmmmm - good one!
5’11” and rugby player build, UK legal whilst European, I mind my own business and get on with the job, occasionally wear a good suit, under-appreciated (i.e. underpaid! - aren’t we all?) ..... so it has to be the Friction Folder.

I am simple, but always ready to have a good time. Kinda like a PM2... in CRUWEAR.

Short and solid (heavy). I'm the Pingo titanium. :)
Picked it up from the EDC pick up box. It's a heavy user, so already full of scratches and dinges. Perfect match. :D
