Thank you sir :) I enjoy the thin bladestock and it definitely slices very well. It is indeed a nice and toothy edge, but not my personal work - a friend who is much more skilled than myself put that edge on :DWartstein wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 2:56 pm
Nice pic and imho underrated knife!
I had one too, very light, good amount of edge and one of the very few Spydies with 2.00 (thin! = good :D ) bladestock.
Sometimes regret that I sold mine: I much preferred ffg at the time, and actually still do, but the sabre/hollow actually is amazing in this model
/ Can´t see it too well on my cellphone screen, but it looks like you gave the Centofante a nice, coarse edge - ?!

Wow, love the Wabi Sabi of this. I'm just not patient enough to stick with one knife long enough to get such a great finish.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I've been drawn to these for a while. I will cave soon I think. But I'd love to see this as an updated design with screw construction and upgraded materials, say k390?

For my personal taste this would be an absolute perfect calendar pic. Love to look at that blade, it "does tell a story it does" indeed. :)

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Cold day short run to and in castle and park of Hellbrunn near Salzburg - of course running buddy Chap in my pocket! :)
This is a castle and pleasure grounds built in the early sixteenhundreds by the then prince archbishop of Salzburg (here https://www.hellbrunn.at/en/ is their nice homepage, including some virtual tours you can click, which are really worth watching! (generally and should one like to see some of the surrounding to where I live )). Scroll down to the bottom of the site and there is also a short clip.
The Salzburg archbishops back then were quite different than to what people nowadays would expect from a catholic high church dignitary... : Both secular and clerical rulers, sometimes even warlords, had huge amounts of power and the only thing they did not was marry.. but they still had mistresses and children of course.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I am sure you will enjoy the knife! It is a elegant and beautiful knife that cuts very well. I have never found the rivets to be a concern - the knife is still solid as a rock after years of use. However if an upgrade is made available I will purchase one for sure!

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
The Centofante 3 is probably one of the most under rated Spydercos and it is time for a bit of CQI. I may have mentioned once or twice in the past that it is, I think, the longest running model in the catalogue that hasn't seen any CQI.TKCSA wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 5:45 amI am sure you will enjoy the knife!

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Agree and exactly what I said in my reply to his post!
The one I had was perfect and would not have needed any upgrade, but I am sure that Spyderco could come up with things to even make the model better.
I sold mine back then cause I thought I would always prefer ffg over sabre hollow. I was wrong. Generally I still want ffg, but in this knife the hollow grind is actually great.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
The best winter knife I own:
Native Salt SE
I always seemed to associate the salt series with the ocean and beach. Took me a while to realize they’re perfect for outdoor winter utility use. Not just tropical weather.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I'm really not sure why I don't have one of these. They're not expensive, I generally love hollow grinds, and I love the sleek long lines of the design. It's been on my wish list forever. Maybe it should be my next Spydie!Wartstein wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 7:22 am
