Aloha Alex,

"Enjoy"??? Man, a major title understatement! :rolleyes: I thought the knife was real for a second as I only saw the top part by the Hole. Cripes, I was ready to see Ceya or DMK on it :eek: !

Awesome work as USUAL! ;)

God bless and take care C102! ;) :D

That is a wonderful looking graphic! For a real knife though, I'd like it to have tip-up carry as an option, and an 50/50 choil, then I'd be in. :)
Great job!

Great! :eek:

Flat ground and tip-up/tip-down would be great.

If they called it a 'Spyderbenza' I would get one just for the name! :D

AND because it looks a like a very nice knife!
Every thing here is Spyderific! My new word meaning 'great like spyderco'

Thanks Sal and everyone at BritishBlades.com for the UKPK :spyder: :)

Great job as alway Alex! As others have said, a flat ground blade and 50/50 choil would make it even better. :D

Thank you for the replies. Boy, it's hard to please everyone ;) . Make it in full flat grind, put the lock on the other side, move the clip for tip up carry... Fortunately, the grider was still warmed up ;) and here's the result:

Now, a disclaimer. I made the knife just to see if it can be done and how would it look like. Because the knife should retain the Sebenza look while bearing in the same time the distinctive spyderco features (comp lock, round hole), I had to deal with some pretty severe restrictions. I think there is still a lot of room for improvements in this knife, especially regarding the ergonomics. Honestly, it is not the first knife I'd pick myself as an EDC. But it looks acceptably nice and it was fun to work at it. :)

As always, you were great with your comments and feedback. Thank you for the joy.

Very nice work there! I gotta see one of those with teeth! While not staying within your prescribed limits a 50-50 choil and a Warnie blade would also be sweet!

It shouldn't be too much more expensive than the Ti ATR should it? Now I admit right here that I don't know squat about Sebenza's.

Except for the comp-lock and the hole, it is sebenza! I prefer the back of the blade a bit sloped up, rounder, don't you think?
