Great pick! And I agree, I have always been a BIG fan of the Mouse. I actually really like all of Tim Wegners collabs with Spyderco but the Mouse in particular is my favorite of the bunch.
This works for me , but purely subjective. MG2
s in 85 steel flavors.
I'm glad someone mentioned the C54. That's been my absolute favorite Spyderco ever since it came out, and I wish they'd make more of them, with different color micarta options.wrdwrght wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 10:44 am“Putting utility aside” when assessing the beauty of a “form-follows-function”, “designed in the dark” Glesser-creation is, of course, sacrilegious.
But, in the spirit of this thread, I think the C54 Calypso is about as elegant as can be. I know I’m not alone.
Thanks to a Forum member, I acquired a G10 Calypso sprint a few years ago and knew instantly I had to have a micarta original.
Just weeks ago, I acquired one. Whoa, talk about lightweight! And balanced!
If, however, collaboration is in the mix, I think the C46 Bob Lum is in the running for “best looking”.
As with my Calypsos, I knew that I had to have an original titanium Bob Lum after finding a G10 sprint.
For the curious, I think the original Bob Lum’s titanium handle weighs as much as the entire micarta Calypso. And the weight of the original Bob Lum is mostly in the handle while its sprint is far more balanced between handle and blade.
Agreed. With bolsters and polished scales.
I like your taste in knives. LUV my Mantra 2. A piece of knife art I get to EDC every day. Don't have a NIrvana but have an original Scot Cook Lochsa instead.Senfkarte wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 12:59 pmI don't know why, but from all I have seen, the Nirvana (C199TI) just looks so good, I think this is the knife I would vote for.

From the ones I own, the Mantra (C202TI) may be the best looking one.

I know, these are very different designs but both just work for me. Can't explain, what I like about the designs in particular, all I can say, it seems like, I like Ti scales and the R.I.L.
