Deal Breaker

[Mr.Sparkitle]

^ That's one good price on a milli. I think the ony real thing that keeps me from buying all the spydies I want is the price. Now that I own several G10 handled and s30v bladed knives I want more. I really like being able to switch the knives to lefty carry seeing as it is my dominate hand, but I do not mind forcing my right hand to learn to operate a compression or liner lock.

Yeah for that price it was hard to say no. I figure now I can afford the band aids I will need when I cut the **** out of myself. I haven't had much luck with my Tenacious. It's bit me 3 times already.

Lack of an opening hole, thumbstuds that get in the way of reprofiling a blade, and poorly designed ergonomics.

Which is largely why I buy Spyderco.

Deal breakers for me are Combo Edge and plastic clips. My white Dragonfly has a plastic clip, and it works great, but aesthetically it just looks cheap to me. I am not a fan of stainless steel handles, adds too much weight. I can not wait for the maxi-lava to come out!

From what I've read, I believe there were a few left handed ones made of at least one of the two early Terzuola collaborations (C15 and/or C19).

Other than that, nada from Spyderco. Not sure of other manufacturers, have no real interest in knives without a round hole opener, and even less in brands other than Spyderco that use it. Know some custom makers will be happy to make you one, I have a left handed A. T. Barr One-Eyed-Jack. On the other hand, know at least a couple others who'll turn you down cold.

for a little while i owned a C15 lefty, complete with left-handed liner-lock. :D

my deal-breaker... CE. although, i bought a goddard FRN burgundy in CE, just because i liked the design and color so much... and am a goddard fan... :D

[A.P.F.]

The only real deal breakers for me, are cord wrapped handles, combo edges and the blade profile on the Captain.

[Joe Talmadge]

My only deal breaker on Spydercos is liner locks on anything but small gents folders. Beyond that, I think everything has its place, even -- nay, especially -- FRN.

First, there would be those knives that don't have a pocket clip.
Second, those knives that don't lock. So no slipjoints, UKPK, DKPK, T-Mags or whatever you call them, sorry.

... Well, I do tollerate SAKs though... but not much... :rolleyes:
