Echo, According to the letter that Fred gave me he's going to stay with me, he's not to good a swimmer apparently and the cost of getting back via mail was a bit high.


At the moment Fred's nicked off with all my Spyderco's (except 2 or three) and he won't give them back to me until he's given them all a clean and service, seeing as I have just a few Spyderco's I reckon he'll be fairly busy for a while.

Fred's looking forward to exploring Australia (Sydney to begin with) so keep an eye out for his adventures around the place.

I'll bet Fred is the only spider in the world that nobody DARES to step on or squash, ESPECIALLY since he's got most of your Spydies! :eek:

i can see him beating you to the top of the harbour bridge
and i dont really think he would be interested in the opera house, unless there was a knife show on :)

I got my prize from that recently too. A hat, catalogue, and a plain edge Native. Thanks to Spyderco for the contest! Since I have a Native and I know how well it works, this new one's going in my survival kit.

Ahhh, That's a good question. I'm not sure :confused:

I haven't seen any 'land mines' around so I'm guessing that he is but I haven't seen Fred for a couple of days now, I think he's feverishly fiddling with my Spyderco's at the moment. I'll check with him when he re-appears.

Another question for everyone here: What do I feed him :confused: :confused: Is there a 'Tinned :spyder: Food' that I can buy? :D

I'd say a good, solid dose of knives should feed him just fine. Just make sure it's a balanced diet, FRN, G-10, VG-10, S30V, CF (smooth and peel ply), and of course, some BG-42, which we know you already have ;)

Warning: This diet may be hazardous to your wallet!

Good stuff, man...

I think I've solved the feeding problem. Fred told me there is a food called 'Spydie Bites' that he quite likes and he showed me the super secret page on Spyderco's site that lists retailers of it.

Got a box of tins on the way for Fred :D
