Spyderco Forums

I'm waiting on a CF PE Delica. Should arrive next week. I have a feeling that will quickly become my most visually appealing Spydie. As for the A-10 - some things are so ugly yet purposeful and efficient that they actually become beautiful. Much like the P-47 a generation before. (Now if you want a good looking plane IMO then you could go to the Macchi C.205 Veltro - those Italians certainly have a flair!) Sorry if this went a bit astray.

I must say the ATR is the best. :cool: I love those lines and the feel. :spyder: Its my edc.

I think the C27 Jess Horn, with the C70 ATR close behind.

The 'fly is pretty!

Definitely my fs green Lum chinese. I don't trust the lock and therefore don't use it, but it sure is purty.

Carbon Fiber Pe Police Sure Is Pretty, The 25th Is A Diamond!! And Some Of The Santa Fe Models Can Be Stunning.

I've heard the word "fugly" was reserved for Spyderco knives.

Lots of votes for the Chinese and 25th Delica! I really like the look of the Chinese as well, either green or blue.

I've never seen the anniversary Delica though, does somebody have a picture they can post?

Another one came to mind: Szabofly; intimidating but very nice looking.

Think you forgot to TM that one Sal. :D On the other hand, are you sure you didn't have a hand in designing the Warthog? :D

Now there's a name for a new knife.. Warthog!
Must get out my designing pencil!

Maybe, but I think that Grant and Gavin Hawk are moving in on that territory. If haven't seen their "External Toggle" knife - you should!!

I am getting one, but only after being persuaded by a very nice description and photo shoot by Eric over on USN. You can see them there - just search under "external toggle".

My son thought the M-1 tank he used to drive in Desert Storm was beautiful!

Difficult question. I think for me it is either the SS SE Police, the PE Military or the Ti PE Delica. The Viele is classy too and the Persian folder is a beauty. And the Calypso jr, the Cricket, the Navigator, the... somebody stop me! Thanks.

OTOH, is the Warthog the same with A10 Thunderbolt?

For me it's the ParaMilitary - it really has character and the simple lines of the blade are beautiful.

Thanks! The handle design is a little too complex for me but it's still pretty nice.

For me it would have to be the (blue) Lum Chinees. Style and performance! The only spydie of which I have two.

The Spyker also look like a **** of a knife!

Again from Teds great site :
