Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
I’m here for the Glessers’ designs, and my Spydies are almost entirely theirs.
But Spyderco’s standing invitation to collaborate has surely produced fertile ground for fantastic Spydies.
Name the top five Spydie collabs you actually own WITHOUT naming a collaborator more than once.
With this restriction, I can name only four collaborators but I’m sure happy with the rather different ones I have. Mine, in order of my preference, are:
Lance Clinton’s Siren
Gayle Bradley’s Bradley Folder “GB1”
Alistair Phillips’ Kapara
Marcin Slysz’s SpydieChef
I will not be animating this thread, but feel free to comment on resulting models and lists.

Re: Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
Oh my... only owned a single one, the Kapara... all others are / were Sal, Eric or Sal and Eric designs... :rolleyes:
But I really did like the Kapara! The handle looks and feels VERY nice and like high quality, still I´d like to see a more grippy option with a NON deep carry clip and a linerlock (or at least a bit better accessible comp. lock tab).

Re: Collaborations - Your Top Five Spydies
I've only had one Spyderco collaboration - the Advocate. I liked it.

Province
Street Beat (x2)
Ulize
Darn Dao/Tanto FB
Waterway
Smock (x2)
Centofante 3
Genzow HatchetHawk
I can’t remove any of those and still look at myself in the mirror!
The Amalgam and Parata are on my short list, and the Subvert may end up in the collection if if they make another batch and funds allow.
