Congrats to everyone ! I'm just gaining power until the right year comes along :open-grin

PS : I'm still so far behind everyone that the "right year" will certainly be in the 2030's :squinting-tongue
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Thank you to the Spyderco team for this honor :bug-red-white So many wonderful photos were submitted this year that I stopped believing I'd even be featured (let alone on the cover). These calendars get more and more beautiful every year!

Congratulations everyone :party-face
And a big thanks to Spyderco and the people involved for keeping up with the annual tradition of this contest!
Always a time of year I look forward to, and great fun to participate in;
especially considering I'm amongst the few lucky ones to have their image showcased in the calendar :party-face
