Where did your Spyderco travel?

#1

Post by Bolster »

Let's try a thread about where your Spyderco traveled, as in: interesting and exotic places on earth. (Locations on other planets also allowed.) Hopefully photos will depict the location as much as the knife. Top prize goes to the first person to submit a (real) photo of a Spyderco atop Mt Everest! Please be specific about the location.

Ive had plenty that have gone to the beach. But I live at the beach so I guess thats not traveling. But if I go to a beach thats basically the same as my beach but is a few hours down the road then I guess it is traveling. But...

Here's us in Kenya having a picnic on Safari.

Here's me frolicking in the grass with my son on Safari in Kenya. Lion was close on our tail.

If you look really close, you will see a wire clip hanging out of my pocket. That clip belongs to a Chaparral. A fine pic of a Chaparral really showing how it frees you up to move around. And run from lions.

Very cool thread, and cool pics!

Maybe someday I’ll go somewhere interesting enough to photograph my Spydies and contribute!

Well, my Autonomy traveled from Boston, into the North Atlantic, Nova Scotia, down thru the Panama Canal, Honduras, back to Florida and back to Boston.... with my son! I haven't put on those kind of miles with anything lately... although I wish I had!! This is a great thread!

Wow, very cool thread with some amazing photos! I'll have to dig into my photo gallery and see what I have. Nothing as good as what's already been shared, I'm afraid!

My knives are getting jealous!

Too bad I didn’t carry (much less own) any Spydercos way back when I was living in Taiwan. There were a lot of locations that would have made for interesting knife pics.

I haven’t done much if any traveling in over a decade now. Maybe there are some areas here in my city/county that would make for some good knife pics. Thing is, you need a bit of privacy to take outdoor knife pics.

This is already a great thread!

I don't have many pics to contribute.. because I almost always forget to take pictures of my knives anytime I'm somewhere cool.. but here are some from a hike this past fall.. Exploring the cliffs and (very tiny) caves of Rattlesnake "Mountain" in northern/central Massachusetts with my Military..

I will endeavor to a) travel to cooler places and b) actually remember to take pictures of my knives when I get there!

My Spydies travel pretty much everywhere I travel. I have a ton of photos from different locations but I’ll just share a small handful for now.

I’ll post more shots from other places in the future but I didn’t want to load up one post with too many photos. Very interesting thread so far.
