The knives shown are C46PS (discontinued), C93S (discontinued), and C145GP. The image was created with graphite on paper and adjusted in Photoshop. I chose these knives to showcase the diversity as well as the continuity of Spyderco designs.

In order to get the photo to upload, I had to greatly reduce the image size.

Hi everyone!
My Spyderco Resilience had never failed me. He proved his value and usefulness lately by helping me moving to my new flat, that I had to do up first. I'm sure I couldn't do it better without him! I came with the idea of this picture, when I was washing my spyderco after a very long day of hard work :spyder:

The wood from this tree has been very tough to split. I noticed how the stump has changed to a greyish color as it weathered through the year. I have been carrying the Tuff whenever I am out in the yard. I thought the colors on the knife look nice next to the wood and snapped some photos of it.

Sorry about the size. I'm not good with posting and can't figure this out..

I chose the Orange Spyderco Military because it has served me so well on every hiking adventure that I have been on. S30V holds such a great edge and the G-10 provides the perfect grip. I chose this picture because, well, come on.. lava on a Spyderco and it's unfazed? You can't beat that! Is it really lava?

I am submitting this image of the Tenacious in SE. To me no one else does full SE like Spyderco and the Tenacious embodies the working knives the Spyderco does so well. Thanks for the shot, Nick aka araneae.

Oh my goodness! All these last few pages' pictures are awesome! I hope they're in. I want to see them larger (as in, on a calendar). Good luck, y'all.
- best wishes, Jazz.
