a Q-uissential Q-uestion

#1

Post by sam the man.. »

Fellow "Q"-lovers,



Of all the Spyderco "Q"s that came and went, which is your all-time favourite?

Here's my top three :



1. Spyder-logo Q

2. Blade Magazine's Q

3. Stars & Stripes Q

My favorite is the one sitting in a small American shop that has my name on it and is just waiting for my money order to arrive before they send it on <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

All hail e-bay <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> At last I got one.

For ones that I have seen in person, I like the WMO (Wilderness Medicine Outfitters) This is the sheepfooted blade knife with a branch and cross in the blade. And the spyder logo 'original'.
For ones I've only seen pictures I like the one that is just the outline of a blade. I'll try attaching the gif of the picture I found from a Japanese web site. If it works it's the middle one in the left column.

OMG, THOSE ARE NICE KNIVES. I want on, I really really want one. **screaming and running around the house in search of money**

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

Don't forget about the H&K "Q", don't know how many were made but I have one. Now I'll have to add an H&K firearm to my collection to go with my knife <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> !

I enjoy my "Bug" model Q. It wasn't until I saw the Spyderco Story's front cover that I realized that I had one exactly like it. I guess that is one reason why I like it so much. That, and people are always asking: "What is that tick doing in the middle of the blade?"
I just smile.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I think if I had a second guess, I would have to pick the "Flag" design. I have aways thought it looked so cool. Maybe someday I will have a chance at one.

I think I remember reading in another thread that Spyderholic has a red Aluminum handled "Q". Don't know if it's a one-off design or what? I think it was the "Tarantula" thread, Spyderholic are you out there? Care to comment?

Thanks blades for the welcome. I found the site http://anzu.sakura.ne.jp/~poiz/g/ The 3rd row of pictures down, 4th from the left.
I've done a lot of google searching for "Q" and this was one of my finds. Now if I could only find where to buy them.

I am still kicking myself for trading my Spyderco BUG Q and my HK Q a few months ago. I know...I know....
