So far so good. Sharpened it up a few hours ago and man, is it wicked sharp!

It has been a while since the SpyderCard was in the main line up. It's one of the few Spyders of that era that I never owned. It's also one of the very few Spyders with AUS-6 blade steel along with the Vagabond and a couple of others. I say it's collectible from that standpoint alone.
I like the concept of the SpyderCard model but I do wish it would have been available in full SE. I hear that they fit in most wallets nicely. I never even knew of many guys who owned one either. It's kind of like the SpyderSaw in a way>> it was sort of a novelty that just never caught on for some reason.
In another 4 to 5 years I look for it to be a serious collector piece because you just don't ever see many of them around at all.

Whoa, a blunt tip Spydercard! You could even completely round the tip and make a Rescue Spydercard out of it. 
Anyway, it's a nice find, congratulations and enjoy it.
Maybe it's time for an updated version (say with Titanium handles and H1 blade)? :)

The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.
Thanks JD and Dialex! A Titanium/H1 variant would be pretty sweet!

Lived in my wallet for years, took it for granted and would love to see it make a comeback. Great idea Dialex, H1 and Ti would be awesome, so is that Battlestation btw mate! Just wish there Slipit versions of all choiled, sub 3 inch bladed Spydies for those of us that are geographically challenged. Shame so many of my favourites never get off the property! Not sure if the laws were different when I had that Spydercard or if I was just blissfully ignorant, either way at least she got to go out and about. Looking forward to the after mod photos Chevy.
Yes! that would be on the wanted list for suredialex wrote:Whoa, a blunt tip Spydercard! You could even completely round the tip and make a Rescue Spydercard out of it.
