Perhaps a good single malt as well.
Spydies are a real treat on Cygnus - their 'home grown' stuff has triangular holes in the blades ... and those corners are murder on their tentacles ....
:p

There was a time when some of the smartest minds on the planet thought it was a waste of time and effort to include the additionally key strokes to designate the century (i.e. "1999", instead of "99"). Perhaps some of you recall the poo-storm that omission created.
Sometimes stating a little "extra" info that seems obvious at the time, proves to be a very wise move later :D
All I know is the first time I ever saw it (on the first Spyderco I ever saw... my friends military...) I thought it was awesome. That knife and stamp have had quite an impression... It's definitely a cool feeling having a Golden knife with that stamp. Love it. Can't wait to buy more haha
Customs here on Cygnus confiscated my PPT... would one of you Earthlings mind tightening the pivot and forwarding one to me? I would gladly reimburse you for the inconvenience...
I always saw that as a way of making it very clear that they are the only one of their kind...it says something about their name, their quality etc. We're not just Spyderco here in Golden, not just the USA, but of the whole **** Earth. None are equal.
